HAYDEN sUNsHINERs PARTY.
Brewster Branch Gave Children a
 Novel Entertainment.

The Brewster branch of the Sun shine society in Hamden gave the children a novel party in the shape of a Christmas laundry presided over by Santa Claus, who was well represent ed by Thomas Means of New Haven. Santa gave an interesting talk in which he showed a marvellous insight into the Sunshine work done by the children, and was listened to with rapt attention and happy faces by both young and old. After their present everyone received an orange from santa's bag. and Santa himself in- spected the bulletin board, where the best twenty-five acts reported by the children were printed. A vote by the children themselves was suggested by Santa Claus, and the majority voted for No 2S, viz: Helping an elderly lady who was in danger of being run UkcI bN dH tletlllC CetL. HIS pIpNtu to belong to Eyon Descheneaux, so that the young lady will receive a years subscription to the Sunshine Bulletin
 A pleasant feature of the occasion was a surprise to the director of the branch A pretty picture in most sunshiny frame was presented to her by Santa Claus from the children of the Sunshine society, The loving thought of the teachers and children for her pleasure gave her great hap piness, although in her surprise she was capable of saying nothing but thank you.
 A short program, consisting of songs and recitations by the children. fol lowed, after which all sat down to tables prettily decorated for the oe- casion by young people who only 3 year or two ago belonged to the chil- dren's branch themselves.
 Sandwiches, cake and cocoa had been generously provided by the la dies of the place, and the children showed their appreciation of the good time provided for them by remaining and helping in the general cleaning uI after the feast.

NEW YEAR THOUGHT. Rev. H. E. Wilson Breaches on How We Gan be Sure
 of God.
NEED OF A GREAT FAITH
May Know God and Strive to be Like
 Him, Though We Have Not
 Seen Him.

E At the Epworth M. E. church yester- day morning Rev Harold E. Wilson pastor, preached a New Years sermon on the topic How Can We Be Sure of God?"
 Job 2S:9and 8, g.:
 ''Oh that knew where I might find
 him!
 That l might come even to his seat... Behold, I go forward, but he Is not
 there:
 And backward. but [ cannot perceive
 him:
 On the left hand. when he doth work
 but cannot behold him; He hideth himself on the right hand,
 that I cannot see him"
 We are far removed from this plaint in point of time, but not perhaps, in the matter of experience. Who has sver despised the saying of Philip, Show us the Father, and it sufficeth us"? How many of us have not had an inner craving for a revelation of God such that nevernore might the shadow of doubt or uncertainty cross the mind? If we could have one thing with which to begin the New Year what greater could we wish than this certainty of God? Why is life so con stituted that we can have no outward proof? Why is God not made to us as plain as the sun in the heavens? i. How can we be sure of patriot ism? Does such a thing really exist Who knows? Surely not he
 with soul so dead,
 Who never to himself hath said: This is my own, my native land l will tell you who is sure of patriot. ism. He who has acted upon it he who has risked life and fortune fol the honor of his country. Or, who is sure of love? Love that wells iron, the holiest springs of the heart, ant sets the whole life aglow with 8 di vine fire. How can you be sure of it There is only one way, and that is tt let it kindle your own soul And eoult you be more sure of love by any tes timony other than the witness of you own heart?
 2, Now how can we begin the veal sure of God? By acting as if he were There is no other way. You canno satisfy yourself by logic, or by an ex animation of the evidences, It is by striving to live His life that certaint! comes to us. There was never yet { great faith that did not have ultimate ly as its foundation a great life. I you would have no doubt, go out int the New Year to do the will of Got as you have never done it before.
 8. And is it not possible to see wh! God has not been made as clear to u as the sun? Is it not because tht greatest thing is not to be sure of God but to become like h..4? What woult 1t profit if we M see God fac, to face? We.sisz. hno better. Bu
