 BY SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
Carried Out in Highly Successful Man
 ner in Several Churches.


 Although their Christmas celebra- l tion proper when the main part of 1 the entertainment is furnished by the ] children of the Sunday school is to 1 take place Friday evening. a pleasing l programme in eommemoratien of the l birth of Christ was carried out Sunday 1 afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Second | Congregational church, and was en- i joyed by a large number.
 | The pastor, Rev. F s. Worcester. | conducted the first part of the pro 1 gramme, which included the reading i of a portion of Scripture from the l second chapter of Luke, & prayer, i which was especially appropriate to ! the occasion, and several beautiful i anthems by the church quartette. The 1 concluding part of the exercises was l also in charge of the pastor, who read i a part of the 8th chapter of Hecha- ! riah. and taking the fifth verse of i the same chapter for text, delivered
 an address of exceptional interest to | all on the great need there is of chil- l dren in the home. the school, the 1 church and in the city. And not only 1 are children needed in the earthly cit ! les Rev MT. Worcester said in con 1 clusion, but they also occupy an inn l portant place in the heavenly city. Following out the custom of the church, Rev. Mr. Worcester presented at this time Bible to every young person of the Sunday school. eight years of age, who had been baptized and in the inside cover Of ach Bible he had written a verse that was es- 1 pecially applicable to the case of the one who received it. With the Bibles ! were given out a handsome bouquet l of flowers. Those who received Bibles were the following: George W. X. i Fox, Dorothy Lester, Gladys c. Rath i bone. Wilfred L. Robertson, Lucille T. 1 Spaulding

 charge after lhe distribution Of the Bibles, and during that period there i was given recitation and song by 1 the members of the primary class. the annual report of the secretary and treasurer of the Sunday school and dialogue recitation by the members of l Miss Woods and Miss Wulfe's classes. l The report that was given by Charles l I. Smith, who has been the efficient i secretary and treasurer of the Sunday school for SIX years showed the school to be in a splendid condition, both numerically and financially, and the 1 interest taken in the workings of the school and the good work that had been accomplished by them was emi- nently satisfactory and reflected great credit on Superintendent Cary and his able assistants in this work There were forty-one reported as being per l school during the past year.
