EVAN

eral weeks before Christmas, the Ell
tertainment committee of the Evan
church visited the homes of the little
children whose willingness to do as
taught, and whose attractive manner
make EVAN literary entertainments OF
the best in Gloucester county. The
visitors enjoyed the visits as fully AS
much as the. little host, and hostess,
who did al lin their power OF enter
tain their callers. Several little
ladies played selections on their toy
pianos and the way the tiny hands
flew over the keyboard and the little
heads kept time impressed the visit
ors with the thought that musicians
are born not made. In one home q
very little boy with corresponding
small violin played tune much to
the edification of his audience Christ
mas gifts were displayed and hand
some Christmas tree admired in each
home Beautiful Christmas trees sre
the rule in all EVAN homes.

Several of our young people now
know what the future holds for them
John Mick who resides between
Cross Keys and Downer, and was Sc
verely injured by tree falling on him
early in the fall, is still confined to
his room and did not see much to
make merry over during the Christ
mas tide. Several of his friends and
neighbors agreed to do what they
could to lift few of the responsible
ties resulting from a long illness and
thereby allow little Christmas cheer
to penetrate his cozy home. They sue
ceeded beyond their expectations and
were able to present Mr.. Mick with
one hundred and ten dollars in cash
Christmas morning. The sums collect
ed were as follows: Harry Twins.
$21.25; Earl Harper, $3.50; Charles
Smith, $500; Charles Irwin, $33 90;
Daniel Fox, $1435. Mr.. Mick thank
fully accepted the contribution and
wishes to thank all who contributed
toward making the amount reach so
large denomination, and making a
Merry, Merry Christmas, the real
thing to himself and family instead of
an empty congratulation
