PUBLIC CELEBRATION
Something New and Unique Proposed
For 6lackfoot

Last year in the cities of NewYork,
Boston and Milwaukee there was
held a public celebration. A fir tree,
sixty feet high, was set up in Madi.
son square Park and Illuminated
with thousands of electric lights.
There on Christmas Eve and every
night thereafter until New Year 1
were gathered thousands of people.
Around the tree bands and choral so.
cieties, vested choirs, and Sunday
school children marched and played
and sang Christmas carols, hymns
and patriotic and national songs.
Notwithstanding the snow was deep
the park was crowded with people
each night, and the interest was un.
abated. Similar scenes were enac.
ted in both the other cities men.
toned.
1t is proposed by the St. Louis
Christian Advocate that this kind
Of celebration be adopted in every
CITY, town and village in the United
States. Each community is asked
to take the matter up and plan for 9
public celebration, by which the dig
tinctly religious message of Christ
mas shall be accentuated, using such
talent as may be at hand for that
purpose. It is a capital idea, and il
carried out will give the world a new
conception of Christmas.
This year a great many cities and
towns are preparing fer similar celc
brations and it would be capital idea
for Blackfoot to show her progressive
ness by getting in line this year. A
brilliantly lighted tree in some cen.
trail place, say between the Standrod
bank and the DeKay grocery would be
a lovely and inspiring sight and Black.
