CHRISTMAS IN THE CHURC HE'S.

Christmas eve was spent very pleas antly at the East Canaan Congregation al church. The beautiful weather brought out large congregation Many, however, were prevented from attending and some from taking part, by sickness. The exercises. however, were good and the children acquitted themselves creditably. On the plat. form was erected ladder between two trees of small size, decorated. lighted and loaded with nice things for the children of the Sunday school. Many of the older ones also were kindly re. membered. as the pastor and his wife were presented with beautiful and comfortable chair. While we could not but feel deeply for the sick ard afflicted we had the joy and hope of the Christ festival in our hearts. The house was appropriately decorated with the Stars and Stripes. H.
 At the Pilgrim church in Canaan the Christmas exercises began at 6.15 on Sunday evening and consisted of g pretty program rendered by the cbil, dren assisted by the choir. Alter the exercises by the the little ones the mis. sionary box was filled and then came the distribution of books, candy and oranges, to the Sunday school. The church was trimmed with evergreen and Christmas tree lighted with tapers on either side of the pulpit.
 The Christmas service for the chil- dren of Christ church took place in the church Monday evening. The decora- tions while not profuse, were artistical- ly arranged and the Christmas tree loaded with its many gifts created a very pleasing effect. The service, which was we'll attended, consisted of carols, sung by the children, prayers and an ex- cellent address by the rector; then came the distribution of about sixty gifts to the members of the sunday school. each child receiving in addition 8 box of candy and an orange.
 The Cristmas services at the Metho. dist church were held Monday evening, Dec. 26. A new responsive service, 'The Prophet of Nazareth" was used with the addition of special exercises by the primary department consisting of songs and drills. Particularly pleasing was the song by Minnie Cald- wall "Sleep, Baby sleep" and the Crowns of Light" given by sixteen little ones carrying lighted tapers who marched from the rear of the church to the platform where they went through a drill that reflected great credit on those who had been training them. The church was tastefully trimmed with laurel and pine and at one side of the platform stood large tree decora- ted with corn and tinsel, and loaded with the ususl gifts for the younger members of the school who also receiv- ed candy and oranges. The pastor, Rev B. Seeholzer, was remembered with a purse and gifts for the other mem- bers of the family.
 At St. Joseph's R. O. church Masses were said at 7.30 and II 8. m. on Sun- day.
