Christmas Greetings to Prof. W. II.
Wood. Of Fair River.

Christmas holidays are at hand
and the people everywhere are max
ing every preparation possible to
greet their best friend with some
nice present. And it is our duty,
fellow students, to greet our teach
er in some way that he will be re-
minded of the fact that we most
highly appreciate his presence in
our midst.
Fellow students and playmates, |
am afraid that some of you do not
realize what good and able teach
er we have in our grand school.
His first purpose is order. and fol-
lowing that is the good motto
which the Fair River High School
has repeated after him so many
times, "Let each succeeding day be
better than the one preceding it. "
His good character and intelli-
gent look has caused him to have
an innumerable number of friends,
all of whom greet him with a
merry Christmas. :" May you have
a Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year, is the wish of the students of
the Fair River High School.

Since the Baptists have changed
the meeting of their State Conven-
tion from July to November, we
have the temerity to make the sug-
gestion to the two Mississippi
Conferences, that for the sake of
their families VINO must needs
suffer in the inevitable changes of
homes wrought by the conference
at such season, that they here
after place their December meet
ing in July or any other warm
time. The good old hymn says
"December's as pleasant as May,
but the families that have had to
move out from Brookhaven this
cold, raw week, as we'll as those.
who have been compelled to move.

tion as applied to their personal

VESTED CHOIR FOR
BAPTIST CHURCH
REV. FREDERICK T. GAlPIN WILL
INTRODUCE INNOVATION
T. cHILvERs IN CHARGE.

Quite an innovation In Baptist
churches will be introduced by the
Rev. Frederick Tower Galpin, pastor
OF the First Baptist church or this
city, who will introduce surpnceu
choir in the near future. For some
time past, Thomas Chilvers, superln-
tendent OF music In the public schools
OF Detroit. has been rehearsing
mixed chorus OF 100 voices, and this
will make Its first appearance In the
church, Dec. 81. at the evening ser
vice. To accommodate this number.
large balcony will be built In the
front Of the church. A Christmas
cantata will be given by the chorus
at that time, and thereafter II VIII
be feature of the Sunday evening
service. The SUPPLIES will not be
worn at the first appearance, but Will
come later. The girls will wear cap
and gown. and the men the cassock
and surplice.
Outside OF the Episcopal churches,
the First Protestant church choir TO
be vested In Detroit was that OF the
First Congregational church. The
Rev. George Elliott, OF the Central
Methodist church, favored the idea
for his choir. but 1t is said that quite
large number Of the pensioners
were opposed 20 vestments. The
pastor of the North Woodward Meth
odist church, however. will introduce
the vested choir and now the First
Baptist church will take up the idea.
Mr.. Galpin said that the Baptist
church in Elgin, Ill. has a vested
choir. and believes It will become
popular In time.
