ever held by the Sunday School.
The celebration oil rhe Christmas
festival at the Lutheran church on
Christmas Eve was enjoyed by many
of the Sunday School children and
their parents, besides few visiting
scholars from other ..seh"ols.
The program, excepting one or two
minor parts, was rendered in full 10
the delight and edilying OF the older
attendants. After the musical and
literary portions were completed, the
scholars, and the visiting children,
received their treat with the usual
pleasure. -Four special rewards we're
given to the scholars who had at
tended the most regularly and
brought into the school the most
scholars. The tree was very beauti
fully decorated from top 10 bottom,
showing the skill and enjoyment
which the decorators found in their

address, the good will of the congre-
cation to the pastor and his wife. 1t
was useful, ornamental and valuable
in itself; but but as an expression
of affection il is thing of beauty,
and the expression will be JOY for
ever. If the offering for the orphans
indicates anything, it is that the
service was enjoyed by all.
The M. E. Sunday School Christ
mas anniversary was a delightful
occasion. A great crowd was pres
