 Friday evening the First Congre- gationai Sunday school assembled in the church at o'clock o'clock for the Christmas entertainment. Stereopticon scenes from the life of Christ were
 shown beginning with the Star Tn the
 East, through the childhood, preachlng and death of Christ. ending with the ascension. Fred Purvis from the Y.
 NJ. c. A was in charge of the slides, while George Hyde explsined the pie lures. Hymns were sung at intervals, Miss Louise Fuller playing the organ accompaniment.
 After the last hymn the curtain was taken away, showing pyramid erect ed on the platform. Rev. G. H. Ewing spoke of Christ the Light of the World. placing a large candle at the apex or the pyramid. He then asked twelve older members of the school to bring each a candle, thus representing the apostles as lights i'll the world after
 Christ's departure. They received their light from Christ so the twelve can dies were lighted from the one and placed in circle underneath. Mean while a quartet hidden from sight were singing old familiar hymns. Then the 19 centuries since Cshrist's time were spoken of and 19 boys and girls
 brought each a candle to be lighted from the twelve candles. These were placed on lower circular shelf. Last long line of younger children each with a candle marched up the right aisle to the music of Onward Chris tian Soldiers. Their lights represent ed the lives of the many now who are trying to show Christ's light and life to others.
 These candles on. the lowest shelf completed the pyramid of light which was even more attractive than the traditional tree, and lighted the class es as one by one they later went to the platform for their gifts.
