The South Henderson Baptist Sunday
school had nice Christmas tree on Fri
day night December Goth. Justat 7:3O

L. Barnes, announced that the exercises
would be carried out as arranged on the

did his part We'll, although he is quite
young.
The exercises were very impressive
from start to finish showing the scene of
the SaviOur's birth.
The large cedar tree which covered the
entire rostrum, was filled with nice pres
ents for the members of the school Sci
dom have we seen Il more beautiful tree
1t was lighted from top to bottom with
candles, red, white and blue. These, to-
gether with the tasteful decorations,
presented beautiful scene which was
greatly enjoyed by all present. The
church was crowded, many having to
stand up for Il lack OF seats, but the
order was good and each one went
away feeling glad OF the privilege of at
tending. The boys and girls went away
happy because they had been made the
recipients of more than two hundred
presents.
Mr.. Barnes, the superintendent of the
school, has done q good work among
those bright-eyed boys and girls and
together with his excellent corps of
teachers he deserves great praise. The
future is promising for there are many
who seem to be eager to press the Sun
day school work along until every boy
and girl in that part of the town shall
be gathered into the portals of the Sab
bath school.
God be praised for it all. PASTOR.
