The Presbyterian Sunday school
held their Christmas festival on
Tuesday evening in the Chapel build
were crowded with pupils, relatives
and friends. The infant class were
the entertainers and they did their
part well. Choruses, solos and reci-
tations by the little ones were well
done and called forth a generous ap-
plause, as each number of the pro-
gram was rendered. Rev. Il. l.
Stearnes, Mattewan, n. j., made q
short humorous address and made
some grotesque drawings upon white
boards which pleased the children
and amused the older ones in the
audience. The Wizard of Wonder
land" alias Santa Claus, who is
best known as August Rehbein, gave
over an half-hour exhibition oi
sleight of hand, and did some won
derful and amazing tricks. His
adeptness in bringing forth bushels
of flowers out of an apparently empty
cornucopia, handkerchiefs of all col
ors out of empty tubes, and chang
ing handkerchiefs into an American
flag kept all hands guessing and the
little ones wondering. His ability u
make fancy articles out of paper
using only his fingers to tear anC
shape the articles was a surprise tC
the audience, and the many article!
he made were quickly appropriated
by the children as souvenirs of {
pleasant nights entertainment. ThC
Christmas candies were then dis
tributed.
