When the children of the First Pres
byterian Sunday-schocl gathered at
their church Monday afternoon at 4
o'clock, a charming spectacle greeted
their eyes. An old-fashion Christmas
tree, with its boughs bending beneath
the weight of numerous presents, and
with candies and oranges heaped all
around and beneath it, was the attrac-
ton which held the eager gaze. The
exercises which preceded the distribu-
ton of the presents consisted of several
songs by the choir and a song by a
chorus of little voices, which was great
ly enjoyed. The chief feature of the
exercises was the excellent music rem
dered by the choir, which was greatly
assisted by Mrs. Forgey, Mrs. Hutton
and Mr.. Joe fowler. Especially beau
was the selection from "Ruth." The
little ones returned to their homes with
happy hearts and arms ladened with
good things.
