with the yiolins, and the following vocal

The Congregational church Christmas
tree was an imposing affair and acted as
foil to set off the holiday decorations Of
the auditorium, which were taste fully
designed and arranged. The Sunday
evening song service was beautiful, and
the sextette of singers filed the church
with vocal melody rarely equaled. The
piano and organ accompaniment by Miss
Grace Bunneil and MIS-. Whitson was
very fine. Mrs. Horsley and Misses Lom-
bard and Hewitt were supported in the
choir by Mr.. George S. Vance, DR.. Baker
and Mr.. Ii. NJ. Gilbert, the latter singing
baritone solo for the offsrtory. The
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Dent, delivered an elo.
quent short sermon on the Nativity, and
the address fairly sparkled with brilliant
figures of speech to illustrate the philos-
ophy of the anthem "Glory to God in the
highest and on earth peace and good will
toward men,"
The Presbyterian church did not cele-
brate Christmas with the usual zeal,
owing to the absence of a regular pastor.
Sunday school Superintendent J. d. Cor.
net distributed some pretty books to the
children in lieu of the usual Christm as
tree fruitage.
Sunday morning at the M. f. church
Rev. U. +. Hawk delivered an approp RI
ate sermon for ChristmastiIe in full har-
mony with the day. The evening song
service was very fine under the artistic
direction of Mrs. Slemmons, assisted by
the choir. Mrs. James Fraser sang the
solo "Glory to Heavens Eternal King"
very acceptably. Miss Alice Lille sang
another beautiful solo, and Mrs. Stem
mons played an organ voluntary for the
offertory in her usual brilliant style.
Standing room only was the rule on
Monday night when the children of the
Methodist church assembled, with their
parents, to see what good Santa Claus
had in store for them. As Charlie Wen
ner, whose makeup as Santa Claus de-
fed detection, bounded into view OF the
expectant Juveniles, footing h is horn and
jingling bis sleigh bells. with his well
filed pack upon his back, the children
unanimously voted in favor of expansion.
The tree was immense, though late in re-
vealing it's treasures. Monday night
WAS chosen so that the preparat ions
should not interfere with the Sunday ser
vices. Songs and recitatons and gifts
galore were the order of the evening.
The Catholic congregation celebrated
high mass on Christmas morning at s
O'Clock. Rev. Father Diomedi Officiating.
The full choir rendered Farmers Mass In
B fat, with orchestra sccompa niment.
The musical program was under the d.
rection Of Charles Donovan. The solos
were especially fine, several being sung
