POOR REMEMBERED.
All the Sunday Schools Bring
Their Offerings.
Santa Claus Appears in Person
in Several Churches.

The coming of Christmas on Mon
day. while not affecting the church
services proper, they being in all in
stances scheduled for this morning,
the regular Sabbath hour. has very
much disorganized the Christmas eve
festivities for the Sunday school child
rem.
Ona church in the city had its
Christmas tree Friday night. two had
theirs on Saturday night, several viii
have theirs this morning in connection
with the church services. The ma
jority have made arrangements to use
Monday night for the purpose.
While nothing of unusual interest
is found in any of the church pro-
grammes for this morning, all are full
with items pertaining particularly to
the Christmas season. Every church
in the city will have services this
morning and evening. This evening
a number have provided for contatas,
stereopticon pictures, Christmas stories
and other similar matters.
One particular Phase characterizes
the Sunday school celebrations. In
but one or two instances in the en-
tire city the plan of having the child
rem bring something to give to objects
L
mission in Topeka, the Provident as
ISOLATION, the Salvation Army, the
county poor farm, the Orphans home,
Crittenden home, and other benevo-
lent organizations viii be recipients
of donations. This is a spirit and
practice which has grown up in To-
peka during only the last few years but
it is found to be immensely success /
ful both from a practical standpoint,
and good ethically in teaching the
children to give.
