The Bible representation of the
Nativity given under the direction of
James Wilder in connection with the

Central Union church tonight will be-

different classes will bring their offer

gifts instead of receiving.
Admission will be by ticket only. All
who are entitled to attend, those be-

and their parents, can get their tickets
at the church this afternoon between
the hours of two and three O'Clock.
