entertainment should be planned in a
manner to give each child something
attractive and something fun provok-
ing, without sighting any. The store
keepers should be the older brothers
and sisters of the little folks, and the
store should be as much like a country
store as possible.
1t would be clever idea for a party
for hostess to send out invitations to
the friends of her children and state
that Mrs. Santa Claus would entertain
the children at her home on a certain
night or afternoon between Christmas
and New Years. The house should be
decorated for the occasion, and Mrs.
Santa Claus must wear a black or red
dress, large white apron and cap and
spectacleS and have white hair. OF
course if Mr.. Santa Claus is present it
will add that much to the merriment.
If little girls are invited they might
come prepared TO dress little dolls to
send to the hospitals or children's
homes, and If they cannot dress dolls
at least they could make candy and
popcorn to send to these little folks.
Another amusement would be the max
ing of pretty paper dolls. Then there
could be games of different kinds.
such as throwing bean bags and while
blindfolded hanging the Christmas bell
upon paper Christmas tree pinned on
the wall or door. When the invitations
are sent tell the little girl or boy to
bring her or his favorite toy.

They are the most effective Christmas

is far more fun for the Riddles, because
the lamps can burn as long as they are

year after year. They are suitable for
any festivity and add gayety to every

Now, my brethren and sisters, I
have not the language with which to
extol this brother of ours who has

me say that he had implicit faith In
God and in the works Of our Lord and

He was big man; he was broad

charity for men who were not of his

realizing they were flesh and blood

self, as was said by Dr.. Thomas at
the services at Agricultural College
this morning. That was one great
quality of the man. He was a man
of flesh and blood. His was not the
cast iron spiritual fervor that could
not come down to the plane Of hu
manity, but while his ideals were
high, he understood humanity, and

faults. He loved humanity, men and
women, boys and girls in spite Of
their imperfections, because they
were made in the image Of God. That
made him great teacher. He held
up splendid ideals before his stud
ents, but above all else, he treated
them as men and women, and those
who were privileged to receive his
instructions will look back upon him
not merely because of the mathemat-
les or biology that he taught them,
but because of the principles of hui
manity that he taught them.
or the ten or twelve thousand stu
dents that he taught many of them
will yet become factors in the future
Of our State, and even If there were
no truth in the resurrection, yet
Prof. Langton lives and speaks thru
the lives of these students who will
in their turn teach the principles
they learned from him to their chill
dren, and their childrens' children.
