Christmas Exercises in the Churches.

Christmas Exercises in the churches.
Excellent Christmas exercises were
given and trees enjoyed in the Congre-
gational and Baptist churches on
Christmas eve.
The decorations in the Congregation
al church were very effective. On the
walls large wreaths of evergreen Were
hung between the windows with red
Christmas bells suspended from
them. The chandelier was covered a.
all points with shining stars and a
wreath and bells were suspended from
the center. Two large Christmas trees
decked with tinsel, crepe paper, pop
corn, etc, were placed in front at the
sides of the platform. Between them
on a background of evergreen was a
tall silver cross with silver star above.
Effective costuming added much to the
interest of the program, in charge of
Mrs. A. w. Barry, Mrs. Charles Mills,
Mrs. G. s. Hebb.
The numbers included: March and
Song, by ~ girls in white SUPPLIES;
exercise, recitations and song by the
primary class; lullaby song with dolls
by Cara and Grace Fitch, Electa Blood
and Caryl Sayre; recitation, Edward
Knapp; address by the pastor, Rev. r.
H. Bosworth, who explained the mean
ing of the two Christmas trees, Zone
for ourselves and one for others, y
speaking of the spirit of brotherhood
which should prevail among all at the
Christmas season; Offering for mission
work; fantasy, The Trees Triumph, by
16 young people, costumed for the
various haracters-Mother Nature,
Ruth Hebb; forester, Harry Meacham;
gardener, Floyd Cudworth; fire, Elean-
or willard; water, Arlene Cudworth;
earth, Dorothy Meacham; air, Anne
Dauchy; scarecrow, Raymond Barry;
blossoming tree, Dorothy Hebb; shade
tree, Allan Hebb; red rose, Rose Rich
ardson; blossoms, Ruth Palmer; wild
flowers, Ruth Barry; autumn tree, Flo
renee Meacham; poinsettia, Julia
| Sparks; evergreen tree, Merrill Sparks
A solo was given by each actor and at
the close the evergreen tree was deco
rated by the Christmas fairies
At the close of the program the
gifts were stripped from the trees. AT
the request of the pastor the decora.
tions, including the trimmed trees, will
remain in the church until after the
roll call on New Years day.
A change in the usual plan was
made in the Christmas exercises in the
Baptist church, the idea being a.
evening of social enjoyment rather
than lengthy program. The usual
tree was placed in the vestry instead
of the church. The girl members of
the Helping Hand had its decoration
in charge and deserve credit for its
effective trimmings.
A short program was given includ-
ing recitations by James, Lewis and
Ida Franklin, Harland Kidder, Olive
Marsh, Beatrice Cummings, Margaret
Boyden and Ida Boyden Several
songs were sung by group of tve
girls. Elaine Columbus gave solo,
and duet was given by Mrs. G. w.
Powers and Mrs. B. R. Phillips
After the gifts had been taken from
the tree refreshments of cake and CO.
Goa were served and the young people
and little folks joined in merry games
for an hour.
