Presbyterian Organizations

ering the City.
WILL, HELP AT CHRISTMAS
Meeting 10 Be Held at Broadway Soon
After the First CT the Year to
Perfect Plans.

Young people Of the Presbyterian
churches of the city are leading a new
philanthropic movement which prom
ises to hereafter do a great deal to-
ward a more general enjoyment. of
Christmas cheer in the city. Four So
cieties from the Broadway, Central
and South Park Presbyterian and the
United Presbyterian churches are in
volved.
These organizations have this year
separately taken up the work of help
ing provide for needy families and so
much enthusiasm has been shown that
L is now proposed to form an alliance
among them with the object of broad
ening the scope next year.
LITTLE MACHINERY NEEDED.
The plan is to form a social service
department of these socities which
can be handled in committees involv.
ing very little machinery. These com
mittees, comprising the social service
department of the Presbyterian young
peoples socities will work in connec-
ton with Secretary Writ Taylor, of
the Associated Charities, in carrying
AID, not only IN food and financial as
sistance, but in social and religious
matters, to those VINO are in need.
a meeting is to be held soon after
the first of the year at Broadway
church, at which the plans will be com
pleted and the united work inaugural
ed. There is great need in the city
for just such a practical piece of
Christian service as this and it is pos
sible that in the course of time a gen.
eral city union of all young peoples
socities may be worked out to coop
crate.

Christmas, and the next day We will be
glad it is over for year.

be more presents given and more Of
the seasonable delicacies on the table
Of the average family. =

usual manner, with business suspend
ed, services in churches, family par

large hotels in the city. There will be
an absence Of lace doilies, finger bowls

FRESHMEN
ENTERTAINED
SOPAMORES

The freshmen OF the high school
entertained the sophomores Friday
evening with very original Indian
party. The invitations were cleverly
written to initiate strips of burnt
leather. The gymnasium resembled
an Indian encampment in a fir forest
and the decorations were very fit
ting. In one tepee two little Indian
maids served punch labeled "Flre-
water" In other wigwams Misses
Mae Steuslof and Jessie Holcomb as
Indian fortune tellers, delighted their
hearers.
The success of the evening was,
for the most part, due to the orches-
ira from the East school, under the
direction of Mrs. Clark. Their mu-
sic was splendid and thoroughly ap-
preciated by every one 1t is, with
out doubt, the best grade school or
chestra in the state. After refresh
ments were served, the party broke
up with a rousing cheer for the
young musicians.
