 Christmas passed very quietly at the Shed this time, a portion Of the day was spent by some of us in div inc worship, which We think is a very appropriate way to spend the day, which is kept in remembrance of the birth of the Savior don | think I ever saw as quiet a Christ mas before. The big Christmas guns were not heard this year. as has been the custom heretofore. We have often thought that if the mon ey SD for explosives and liquor and wasted in other ways, were gW- en to the poor. or to advance some worthy cause. it would be much more sensible. and the world would be nearer the millinium.
