The idea Of celebrating the twenty-fifth
or silver jubilee of the Children of Mary
of St Thsresa originated with Miss Edge
At first the young people did not feel
Ike giving up SO much time, but a little
persuasion and The combining of the
Christmas Guild with the event soon
brought them round. Those connected
with the affair feel well satisfied and
proud of the celebration. The way the
clothing came in for the Christmas Guild
was all that could be desired, more
especially as the bulk of the donations
came from the poor themselves, though,
of course many Of the wealthier citizens
also contributed. Everything was done
to make the week a success, even to last
nights programmes, which were very
tastefuily gotten up.
