CHEswo1D, Dec. c.29.-Sunday, Christ
mas Eve, was observed quite as much
as Monday, Christmas Day, and this
fact made it appear as two anniversary
days together. Saturday was also re-
garded as Christmas Eve and time
for merry making. Pastor Goodhand
preached Christmas sermon Sunday
morning after which he asked for an
offering to liquidate the debt of about
500 yet remaining on the parsonage.
The spirit of good will which goes with
the anniversary of the Christ's birth
seemed to pervade the audience and in
a short time the matter was disposed
of. In the evening the Sunday School
rendered their Christmas entertain
ment and the children seemed inspired
to give the best expected program ever
given in Cheswold. The church was
crowded to witness the following pro-
gram:
