CEDAR N. Z. CIRCUIT
The Christmas Exercises Were En-.
- joyable and Memorable. s~

At the Christmas tree on Christ.
mas Eve at Cedar, the pastor and his
wife were called forward and we're
presented by Mr.. James Boyd on be-
half of the people with two magnifi.
cent arm chairs. The chair for
Mrs. Davies was presented by Che la
dies of Cedar and the chair to Rev
Davies by the gentlemen. Mr.. and
Mrs Herve Richie chose the chairs
! and they certainly were well chosen.
The Reverend Glenn Davies on behalf
of his wife and himself thanked the
people for the presents and also for
| the kindly spirit that prompted the
gift. The pastor and Mrs. Davies al
so received an unusually large num-
! Der of presents from the people of the
neighborhood Mrs. Davies received
neat little stand for fancy work; al
so fruit bowl from the young ladies'
class. The c. Y. p. s. also sent
presents.
After thanking the people the pas
! tor gave a very fine tribute to the re-
firing Sunday school superintendent,
Mr.. Arthur AXmear. Mr. AXmear took
charge of the Cedar Sunday school
over two years ago and the splendid
success of the school is due in a large
measure to his leadership. The con.
gregation heartily Endorsed the
speech of appreciation BY long and
lOur applause.
The program rendered by the little
ones and young folks during the even.
ing was very good and great credit
is due to those who so painstakingly
worked to produce such, fine pro.
gram. The evening was made very
interesting by a visit from Santa
Claus. Some of the young folks
thought he was either dead or did not
exist but those misgivings were found
to be without foundation, for about
half way through the program he
came in as large as life with a great
big smile and he chatted around
with the people who were glad to
make his acquaintance. His wife
could not come with him as she was
dreadfully busy getting ready the last
bunch OF things in time for Santa
when he returned for his big nights
work. Her name is Mary Merry
Christmas.

,dered by the choir at Cedar on Sab
