Christmas was tittiugly observed hy
tine people of Glenwool both by pri
vate and public celebrations. A large
number of our citizens had provided
trees for their homes and the little
ones We're made happy as well by
receiving the gifts as the older ones
by the giving.
AT the Methodist church an interest
ing program was carried ont by the
children of the Sabbath school This
was not only pleasing and entertain
ing but instructive as we'll. The
church had been decorated for the oc-
casion in n beautiful manner and the
walls We're covered with appropriate
Christmas notices. Rev a. g.
Noight, assisted by members of his
congregation. directed the exercises
and everything went off smoothly
lnnumerable praises We're given the
young people because of the fine
manner in which they rendered their
selections.
AT the Presbyterian church on Mon
day evening there was n large crowd
and the church was filled to its capac-
ity. The roon was decorated with
festoons and evergreen and in the cor
ner occupied by the choir large
Christmas tree was placed. 1t was
gaily decorated and the effect of the
decorations greatly enhanced by the
electrical illumination which had been
especially arranged for the occasion.
The Star in the East was also beauti-
fully suggestive of the spirit of the
occasion.
The children were gathered in large
numbers and rendered the program Mrs
Cnrrens had arranged in such man
ner as caused everybody in the house
to show their appreciation. The sing
ing by the children as they sat upon
the floor was especially good while
the solos given by two little girls,
with piano accompaniment, were un
usually fine. Mr. Currens, the pastor,
assisted by Mr. Richardson and Mr..
Miller, Distributed the gifts to the
children of the Sabbath school. Each
little girl received doll and each
boy useful box of paints and at the
close every child in the house was
presented with box of candy.
