CHRISTMAS sERENADERs.
Carol Singers Dispense Good Cheer
on Christmas Morning.

The young people of the Breth-
rem in Christ church yesterday rem
dered a most pleasing service. Some
twenty-five or thirty of them or
ganized into two companies and
toured different sections of the city
singing Christmas carols from five
to half past six o'clock Christmas
morning "a pleasing interruption OF
the morning slumbers. They sought
out the widows, the old people, and
the sick Of the congregation and
substituted for the love songs OF
the old time troubadours the pop
ular Christmas carols like Joy to
the World" ''Hark the Herald An
gels Sing" "SiIent Night. Holy
Night" The combined chorus also
sang at the home of Mr.. g. A. Kauff'
man the new Sunday school super
intendent, likewise in honor OF some
of the women Of the town in espec-
Tally prominent musical and charit-
able circles.
The response from many sources
show that their efforts we're aDpre-
ciated. The applause, the endless
telephone inquiries to locate and
thank the singers, 0he grateful
words Of the old people, the formal
notes Of thanks that have been Of
fered the Reflector for publication
are signs of deep gratitude.

10 Of the same year President Lincoln
delivered his brief but immortal speech
at the national dedication Of the field,
Each army at Gettysburg had over
10000 seasoned soldiers, and in each
the killed and wounded alone num-
bered not far from 10000 If the
Union army instead Of the Confeder-
ates had retreated from its position
the war would have gone forward in
the spirit shown throughout the four
years. Lincoln's address is the ex-
preston Of that resolve and the pur-
poses back OF 1t. The country has
been reunited and has reached a lead
ership in the world that more than
realizes the future predicted for it fifty
years ago. The country is glad that so
many old soldiers survive to see the
famous field again, now a national
military park with the old flag perpet-
ually flying, and forty-eight indie
structible states Of an indestructible
union to take part in the celebration.
