All the friends of Rev II. n. Hoyt and

that they are so soon to leave Sacra-
mento. Mr.. Hoyt has been rector of the

and during that time has made large
circle of friends. Mrs. Hoyt has en-
deared herself to many mothers, as she
was the promoter of the Mothers Club,
which has accomplished such good work.
This club was organized soon after the
arrival Of Mrs. Hoyt. and many mothers
have testified that they never attend
meeting but something of great benefit
is derived. The object of this club is for
mothers TO have more thorouSn un-
derstanding of the training of their
children. Mr.. and Mrs. Hoyt are TO re-

pleasant, there can be little doubt but
that they will enjoy their new home.

Many of the poor were remembered
this year. and great credit is due to
those thus charitably inclined. The lit
tie children who gathered last Monday
evening at ST. PauIs Church were all
delighted with the pleasure Of candy
and toys. Mr.. Neil represented Santa

indeed a feast for their eyes. Many
people contributed, so that each child
received bag of candy and nuts, and
every one some small piaythings.

forget what pleasure they might give
TO others, if they would only try. The
matron says that all the children es-
pecially enjoyed themselves on this af-
ternoon.
