While the older members Of the churches
were edited by a wealth Of special Christ
mas music the younger members of the
congregations were visited by the dispen-
Stations Of Santa Claus as never before and
several meritorious Christmas programs and
cantatas were admirably rendered by the
little folk To enumerate any particular
programs would be superluous, as nearly
every church was the scene of special serv-
ices for the children, as we'll as the
"grownups"
In many Of the churches the special mu-
steal programs arranged for Christmas day
will be repeated tomorrow. and watch-night
services will also be held Monday night for
many congregations. At most of the
watch-night services the pastors will
preach special and fitting sermons, begin
ming usually at 10 p. m, while elaborate
musical programs are scheduled at some
of the churches that make a special fea-
ture Of the watch-night service.
