Christmas Exercises.

The Holiday Of all holidays was ap-
propriately celebrated at all the churches
in the city Christmas eve, and at every
church the attendance was large.
At the Methodist church a cantata,
"A Trip to Santa Land" was a special
feature. twenty-five children and
grown persons took part in the play and
it was well rendered.
AT the Christian church there was a
new and pleasing departure. Instead ol
Christmas tree, huge snow ball oc-
cupied the pulpit. 1t was seven feet in
diameter constructed out Of cheese cloth,
wooden hoops and cotton. 1t was sup
piled with a device so that at the close
OF the exercises the snow ball. was
opened and the presents revealed.
AT the Baptist church two, Christmas
trees occupied the platform. The dec
oratons were very elaborate and the en-
tire front Of the church was well laden
with gifts. The overhead festoonine
and color effects afforded most happy
scene and this with the exercises made
the entertainment very enjoyable.
The tree at the Episcopal church wa.
unusually attractive and the program con-
sistns Of music and recitations was mosl
heartily enjoyed. Many beautiful pres
ents were distributed.
At the Presbyterian church Prof. P.
L. Lake had the honor Of being Santa
Claus and he acted the part to perfection.
The tree was erected in the basement
and it was beauty to behold. Follow
ing the exercises. Santa, with the aid Of
his deputies, relieved the tree Of its bur-
dens and made many hearts glad.
