JERMYN AND MAYFIELD
Successful Closing Recital by Miss
Stearns' Pupils.

The closing recital by Miss Stearns'
pupils, given in Enterprise hall last
evening, was a very enjoyable affair,
and although the weather was unpro-
pitious, it did not seem to interfere
much with the attendance, the hall be-
ing fairly well filled. All the pupils
did excellently, and it is therefore
needless to select any for special men
tion. In their recitations they showed
evidence of their careful training, and
Miss Stearns must be congratulated
on the childrens success. The vocal
quartettes, sang by the Misses Freda
Briggs, Mabel Ketchum, Elsie Stearns
and Edna Depew, four Pcckville young
ladies, was among the most enjoyable
of the numbers. and they were warm
ly applauded for their efforts. Miss
Stearns' recitation of the Birds Ger
My Doorway" was also well received.
The entertainment concluded with
cake walk by the following seven
couples concluded the performance:
Sarah and Bessie Jones, Ralph Baker
and Alice Jones, Irene Roberts and
Maude Grittiths Cora Grftiths and
Gertie Wivell, Florence Maines and
Sara Mendlesohn, Earl Matthews and
Lottle Lewis and Harold Houghton
and Vera Whitmore, and caused much
merrinent. The judges presented the
cake 20 the first named couple.
Childrnns Day will be observed in
both the Methodist Episcopal and
Baptist churches tomorrow, for which
the children have been specially pre-
pairing.

more rays of the uncreated Sun had
flashed upon the world, but in Jesus
Christ the white light of the full-orbed
God shone in resplendent glory"
AS love begets love,it is but natural
that the followers Of the meek and
lowly Nazarene, born in a stable and
Graded in a manager, should gather in
Imagination around the cradle of the
slumbering babe aud bering
his gift to the world, bestow our gifts
upon those we love.
This is emulating his example;
walking in His footsteps and repro
ducing in our lives. though in lesser
degree, the spirit He manifested in
the gift of Himself to humanity.
