Christmas in Belfast.

Christmas day was "brite and fare" as Judge
Shute would say, and the church services were
well attended. The rain of the day before had
taken off the snow and left the roads rough. as
they were frozen hard during the night. The
usual Christmas festivities went on indoors,
although some waited until Monday to have
their Christmas cheer.
CHRISTMAS IN THE CHURCHES
There were no special decorations at the Bap-
tist church, but the sermon and music were
appropriate to the day. The rite of baptism
was administered to one candidate. The regu-
lar Sunday school exercises were held at noon,
and at p. m. the children's concert took place.
The program was as follows:
Opening song, by children marching in.
Hymn. Joy to the World.
Questions and answers on the life of Christ.

chapel united in Christmas entertainment
Monday evening in Trinity church. The
church was trimmed with evergreen and at
each side of the altar were Christmas trees,

tree decorations, were given by Mrs. .Knox's Sun

A very impressive Christmas service was
held at the Universalist church Sunday morn
ing. The decorations were simple but very
effective. White bunting was draped over
the pulpit and altar and the altar was covered
with wreaths and sprays of holly, and bou-
quets of white chrysanthemums were used to
good effect. The sermon and special music
were appropriate to the day. The communion
service preceded the regular service at 10 a.
m. and instead of the regular Sunday school
session Christmas concert was given at noon
in which the little folks acquitted themselves
finely. The program including music and reci-
tations.

There were no special decorations at the
Methodist church and the morning service was
as usual. In the afternoon at o'clock there
was vesper service with a short sermon by
the pastor, M. S. Hills on Christmas, with ap-
propriate music. The Christmas tree and ex-
ercises planned for Saturday were postponed
to Monday evening, when recitations, exercises
and music were rendered by the Sunday school
children, and Christmas tree, prettily deco
rated and loaded with gifts, was the center of
attraction. Miss Alice Whitten and Lena San
born took the gifts from the tree, while Victor
Chamberlain announced the owners, and sew
eral little people did the delivering. An effort
had been made to have each member of the
Sunday school remembered, and it was happy
time for all present.

After some discussion as to whether the

volving upon the president alone. This action
was taken by suggestion of President Frost

President Frost reported negotiations with the
Portland Packing Co. to induce them to estab-
lish corn canning factory here. They said
that they looked over the ground few years
ago, but not getting sufficient encouragement
from farmers, located in Brooks. They should
retain the factory there, but might come to
Belfast. They suggested that the Twitchell-
Champlin Co.. manufacturers of cans for pack
ers, might be induced to locate here, and they
have been communicated with. There has
also been some correspondence with Thcrndike
& Hix of Rockland. All this firm asks for the
first year is that farmers agree to plant 200
acres of corn.
President Frost said that while canning fac
tories were desirable, an effort woald be made
to secure other industries. He spoke of a
large shoe firm in the west whose factory
had been burned and who proposed to come
east. They employ 1900 hands. Another,
smaller, concern is looking for location and
may be induced to come here, and the. secre-
tary of the Boston Chamber Of Commerce has
been written to to see if arrangements could not
be made to have some one come here and buy
all kinds Of country produce for shipment.
