PROGRAMS

Tomorrow.
SPECIAL THEMES FOR SERMONS.
with a Couple of Exceptions the Christmas
Entertainments Have Been Deferred
Until Monday Night Interesting
Programs Have Been Arranged
For the Occasion.

As Christmas falls on Sunday this year, but
is not legally observed until Monday, no
little doubt arose in some of the religious
congregations Of town as to when the chill
dren's services should be held Some people
maintained that the legal aspect of the
matter had reference TO the suspension of
general business, and that it would be per-
fectly proper to hold the children's exercises
on Sunday. The majority of the congre-
cations decided, however, that as
Monday was legally declared the day for
Christmas observances it would be more
appropriate to hold the exercises on that
day. Only one congregation will have its
Christmas entertainment on Sunday. Another
has picked upon Sunday for the enter tain
ment and January end for the distribution of
presents. All the other congregations that
intend having entertainments will hold them
on Monday evening, next.
