chrIstmas at the eaptIst chureh.

The children of the Baptist Sunday
school had their Christmas exercises in the
church last evening under the direction OF
their very efficient and indefatigabie su-
perintendent, Mrs. John Peavey.
The church had been very beautifully
adorned with evergreen and holly BY Miss
Elida Neweity and a corps OF assistants.
There were two pictures, one Of the Christ
child and one entitled "Peace ON Earth,
framed in roses, and garlands OF roses fes-
tooned the vestry above the tables where
the refreshments were served.
An old Dutch gristmill in an evergreen
grove was seen upon the platform in the
church and the miller, who proved to be
II. NJ. Totman in disguise, was rolling
barrels about in a temporary lull caused
by lack of windpower.
John Hutchinson as Santa Claus appear
ed upon the scene and bargained for the
mill. When he discovered that the power
was off, he blew upon a whistle ana out OF
the paper headed barrels and from among
the trees in the grove burst a band OF
brownies with tiny bellows, with which
they proceeded to raise the wind directly,
The mill began, first to creak slowly, then
to clatter al a great rate and finally TO go
so fast that il could hardly be stopped.
The brownies few about helping Santa
Claus with bis sacks and in the distribu-
tion OF his gifts, and then, forming in a
march, led the way to the vestry where the
Christmas treat awaited the children and
their friends.
During the exercises prayer was offered
by Mr.. Peavey, recitations were given by
the children, an anthem rendered by the
choir and carols sung. There was fine
duet by Mr.. and Mrs. John Hutchinson
and their three little daughters, Marguer-
ite. Esther and Ruth, proved themselves
very promising vocalists.
