Special Music by pr. Jordan,

A Providence paper says: An au- dience that completely filled All Saints church, Pontiac, enjoyed the Christmas festivities there Friday evening.
 A unique feature of this celebration was the production of a Christmas Masque entitled Holy Night" by Flor ence Converse. The masque, or re- iigious play, is founded on the legend that when Christ was born the animals had the gift of tongues and spoke.
 Special music for the Shepherds s song and for "Mary's Lullaby. had been written by Dr. Jules Jordan of Providence, who had charge of the Inu- sical feature.
 Following the play, the audience ad- Journed to the parish house, where the Christmas tree and festival were held, there being an unusually large audi ence present.
 Dr. Jules Jordan, for the sake of the children and for their pleasure, .loned a Santa Claus costume at the fsstivi- ties, enacting an original poem, Santa Claus at Pontiac after which T1a G5s- trtbuted the gifts as they were handed to him from the tree

ORGANIZATION DEFERRED.
Meeting of United Charities to Be Held in Two Weeks. When Prof. Bailey of Yale Will Speak.

On account of the bad weather. which kept at home many of those who would otherwise have attended and because of the fact that a consid- era-ble number of societies had not yet had an opportunity to select their director on the board, the organization meeting of the United Charities was day evening. At that time Professor Bailey of Yale university, head of the charitable organization in New Haven, is to be present at a meeting Of the Board of Trade and tell of the work in that city.

It is hoped to have a large attendance at the meeting. which will be open to all residents of Willi- mantle, men and women.
 Tuesday evenings meeting, although there was no formal organization dis cussed various points of interest in regard to the activities of the board. The by-laws were amended so that sustaining members should have rep resentation, one director for each 25 such members
 A committee of three, consisting of E. P. Chesbro, W. c. Norris and Dr. L. I. Mason, was selected to investi- gate in regard to candidates for the office of secretary. an office which will also include in all probability work along the line of a district nurse and social betterment worker.
 4 rooms committee consisting of Louis Arnold, F. R. Jackson and George Alan was also appointed to look up the matter of rooms for the use of the board.
