CHRISTMAS CELE-
BRATION In MENA
Christmas Trees and Special Exercises
at Most Of the Churches
Stores Generally Observe
the Holiday.

The Christmas spirit pervaded
Mena this year to perhaps a greater
extent than ever before. Nearly all
the churches and Sunday schools had
Christmas trees, distribution of gifts
and special exercises. for the most
part on Christmas eve. On Sunday
there were generally sermons APP
propriate to the day.
On Monday, the legal holiday,
large part of the business houses gave
their employees the benefit of the
day. Many establishments also re-
membered their employees pleasantly
with gifts of money or otherwise.

The hearts of the children of the
Sunday school were made glad at 8
O'Clock Saturday evening. when Old
Santa cut from the Christmas tree the
presents he had placed there for each
child. A short program was rendered.
consisting of songs and recitations by
the children, in which each child acted
well its part The tree was beautiful
| ly decorated, and though the gifts
were not elaborate. for no personal or
family gifts were allowed to be put on
the tree. yet they were of nature to
please and delight the little folks.
Everyone who had labored to make
the occasion a success, felt, when they
saw the happy children, that they had
been fully rewarded for time and la
Dor. Very much to the surprise, and
certainly to the delight of Mr.. and
Mrs. Park. Old Santa presented them
with little box cut from the tree.
On opening it, it was found to contain
receipt showing that an order had
been placed with A. Patton & Co., for
a handsome sectional book case. the
gift OF the church to its pastor and wife.
At II o'clock Sabbath morning a
service very appropriate to the day
was held. The principle feature of
the service was the beautiful anthem
and chant rendered by the choir. The
splendid choir was at its very best
and rendered the selections in such
manner as not only to delight every
heart, but also to call forth spirit of
reverence and alteration. A short,
but appropriate sermon was delivered,
in which the pastor had as his theme,
A Plea for the Observance OF the
True Christmas. He said in part:
I'VE so often lose the true spirit of
Christmas in the festal enjoyments of
the season. In making their gifts the
christian nations of the world lose
sight of the burdens and hardships
such custom works on the thousands
of factory boys and girls of our great
cities" Christmas should be the
Mt. HoIeb of every true christian
when, like Elijah of old, we meet with
God and, from the lofty heights catch
a broader vision of human needs and
clearer conception of the response

says Matt Conveys. a customs expert,
who has not only watched immigra.

TO AL the countries that send immi.

Back In the panic days OF 1907 the
tide started to flow the other way.

How do they know that times are

their homes, where they can get more

crew who was travelling with his

But today this Ellis island baron

United States are excellent. For
many months the mails have been car

this great rush is made up OF people
who want TO share In the present and

-The only trouble with these folks
Is that none OF them plan 10 go onto
