Another Christmas has come and
gone, and again in St. Paul M. E.
Church was enacted one of the finest
entertainments ever given by her Sun
day School. This time it was a cantata,
entitled christmas Messengers" and
was rendered by forty of the scholars
of that school. The entertainment was
opened by singing two verses of the
Hymn 'All hail the power of Jesus
name," followed by prayer by the
pastor, then violin solo, by Elizabeth
Joseph, then a recitation by Franklin
Ennis, after which the Cantata, was
rendered, and so admirable was each
part taken, that it deserves special
mention as whole, and reflects credit
on the committee of arrangements, and
music, also we note that Supt. I. E.
White departed somewhat from the
previous custom, in that the entertain
ment was absolutely free, as no collec-
tion of any description was taken.
= fter the Cantata came the distribu-
Ion of presents and this was followed
by the annual treat, consisting of a
box of candy, an orange, and an apple,
by the school, to each individual. This
closed one of, if not the finest, Christ
mas entertainments ever given by st.
Paul NJ. E. Sunday School.

AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

Dear Nieces and Nephews:
Aunt Busy extends to all her dear girls and
boys her earnest wishes for a Merry Christmas.
She knows that the hearts of all her dear children
filled with the brightest and hottest thoughts of
the Christmastide. The Young Catholic Messenger,
which Aunt Busy values very highly, writes
"Cold must be the heart that has no response to
this great Christmas sentiment, barren indeed the
home into which recognition of the Christ child
enters no thought of that inesimable gift that has
made all mankind brethren. To the poorest and
humblest Of this Christmas message speaks. The
wise men required the guiding of star but to the
watching shepherds the angel spake face to face.
and there is a Christmas sentiment in all these gay
streets and jostling crowds that the wise of
our own day are not always the first to understand
I'm few days more the evergreens will have
faded, and we shall be going about our business
with all the stern realities Of the year before
US But we shall carry something over from this
great holiday that viii not fade if we to keep
If green a new impulse of faith and love that will
keep the world still growing brighter and better be-
cause of Christmas day"
With sincere wishes for all happiness to attend
her dear girls and boys
Lovingly.

THE CHRIST CHILD.

''Oh. Brother Christ come play with me-
And you shall share my Christmas-tree.
oh, little Brother Christ, you may
Have all these gifts of mine today:
And what you will. you may take home.
If you will come-if you viii come"
And so the little Christ Child came
TO him who called upon his name
The guttering Christmas candles light
Fhckered and fared across the night:
Aobve the waiting heavens were starred,
But past them came the little Lord
The broken gift, the gilded ball,
The tinsel star-He loved them all;
And overhead the angel train
Waited the Christ Child all in vain.

IN THE KINGDOM OF THE CHILD.

When Jesus came to Bethlehem,
All in the rose of dawn,
The music quivered like flame
From heaen's own glory drawn:
And sky and earth were blended in
A symphony of love
What time there came to Mary's arms
The Child from heaven above.
The little Christ Child was so sweet,
Had you been there. or |
We would have kissed those tiny feet,
Have hushed that Baby's cry;
We might have knelt, and offered gifts,
Our gold, our spice, our myrrh;
We might have wreathed the manger with
Our cedar, pine and fir.
