THoROFARE.
Graded there in the scented hay
In the air made sweet by the breath Of kline, |

OF kingdom not human. but divine
! thought Of this as the children gathered
| in the church on last Saturday night for
| their Christmas entertainment and !
| wondered how many of them thought Of it
had been taught to think of it as a tri-
butte which they were paying the manger-
graded child who Is now the King OF
Kings. The church had received Its Christ |
mas decorations and was fragrant with
holly and laurel If not with scented hay.
The music was good, and carried the glad
/ Christmas ring with it. The program was
long. There were many recitations given
by many little people, and all fairly we'll
given. Their efforts were heartily applaud
ed by the large audience. At the close OF
| the program gifts were exchanged between
teachers and pupils, and box of candy
was given to each Sunday school scholar,
each teacher, and each member OF the home
department.. There was also a gift Of
money, and other donations for the sexton.
All came away feeling that it had been an
evening well spent.
| am requested to say that it is desired
that the members, and those interested in
the church, shall bring on next Sunday
morning free-will offering and lay it upon
the table in front Of the pulpit. The pieces
of silver thus obtained will be appropriated
toward liquidating the present Indebtedness.
