GIFTS FOR THE BELGIANS
Marked Christmas Observance at Univer-
salist Church.

Children of the Universalist Sunday
school and members of the church made
their Yuletide observance this year the
occasion for giving rather than receiv-
ing. All of the Christmas fixtures so
essential to a merry gathering were in
order when the youngsters, accompanied
by their parents, assembled in the yes
try OF the church Thursday evening.
That the children with one accord chose
rather TO make gifts to the needy was
highly praiseworthy and to those who
la bored to make the occasion success
there is the pleasant afterthought that
the young people seemed to enjoy the
occasion quite as much as if they had
been the recipients of gifts themselves.
Little offerings from each child are to
be forwarded to the suffering Belgians.
The idea had its origin among the chill
dren, who appeared 10 derive more cheer
in the giving than in receiving. There
was a Christmas tree with every holiday
effect and when the time came, the chill
dren marched around the tree and pinned
their white gifts" to the branches
Songs and choruses, sprinkled with verses
by the children, made a diyerting pro
gram. To each was distributed a stock
ing containing candy and popcorn, The
gifts they were made in abundance and
with variety presented a very attrac-
tive appearance once they had been at
tached to the illuminated tree. A social
hour for the older people was one of the
features o. the Christmas celebration.
The work OF training the singers was In

matter of forwarding the childrens offer

.ously in the work OF shipping money |
