By the time the service was over the table was piled with packages containing articles which will be distributed to worthy recipients while many of the gifts, which from brought to the service. were represent ed by cards indicating the gift.
 The first to come forward was As sistant Superintendent Charles S. Storms, who presented S10 in behalf of the officers of the school. He was followed by small children in the be- ginners' class, each bearing a little package, and each repeating the words Freely Give as the package was placed in the superintendent's hands The primary children,s message was God Loveth Cheerful Giver, as each of them filed across the platform with a, gift in hand.
 After them followed all the other classes of the school, many of the rep resentatives having a verse to recite as they presented their gift.
 Among the articles were baskets of fruit, baskets of preserves, orders for dinners, flowers for the sick and shut in, money, Christmas stockings all fill ed to gladden. some children'S hearts. Two classes gave 9, chicken each and another gave a rooster, these gifts rousing special applause, when the an nouncements were made.

early life for the benefit of man kind.
 The occasion that called the Order of Christian Knighthood into being was the cause of those needing help and protection. The present day Tenn | plar has a sacred duty to perform, | though of a different character. I reiterate the appeal for charitable ! acts, not words, issued by Grand Mas ter Melish, in Christmas response of 1910.
 I call upon each of the nearly one quarter of a million Knights Templar | under the jurisdiction of the grand encampment to individual reconsecra- ton in the cause of humanity.

Are there those about you who have little of this worlds neces- stiles or IuXurieS or upon whom fate | has faowned in other ways? Then, at | this happy Christmas time, go to them either with a smile or material help, and thus bring a little of the sunshine with which God has blessed you into the lives of others, By this you will prove to yourself the truthfulness of the saying, Tt is more blessed to give than to receive
 Since our last Christmas service our beloved grand master. Arthur Macarthur, has answered the final above. He fell full Snightly. with his armour on. Let Us revere his mem ory. emulate his life, and follow the teaching derived thercfrom- Let us press on in life's warfare by beautiful work and good acts.
