CHINESE CHILDREN
OBSERVE CHRISTMAS
Lisping Oriental Tots at Bap-
fist Church Move Audience
to Tears and Applause

Chinese children, in elaborate oriental
costumes, lisping songs OF praise for
the birth of Christ. brought alternately
to tears and applause an audience of
over 200 people, Chinese and American,
at the Chinese Baptist church yester-
day afternoon when the Sunday school
children of the mission church went
through their Christmas exercises.
Numbers by little tots, whose train
ing reflected the greatest credit on the
teachers, Miss Ames, Miss Schumacher
and the Misses Egli. were perhaps the
most popular, although a quartet of
feminine voices singing in excellent
harmony would have done credit to any
organization
The program, consisting OF recita-
tions, scripture readings, games and
musical numbers. was carried out with
enthusiasm by the children, who were
afterward rewarded by presents of
sweets and toys. The whole entertain
ment was an eloquent testimonial to
the patience and efficiency of the teach
ers, and especial praise is due to Miss
Ida Egli. whose task in training the
kindergarten class is more than or
dinarily difficult.
Rev. Sui Lieu, the pastor of the
church, which is handsome brick edi-
fce of Gothic architecture, outlined the
work of the mission and spoke of the
significance of the occasion. He stated
that the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation was doing splendid work and
that the evening classes of the organ
ization have an attendance of 20 pu-
pills. Religious as well as secular train
ing is given the children.
