For many years one Sunday school has had a
giving Christmas instead OF a receiving one. The
pupils bring gifts instead Of receiving them.
The favorite method is for a class to plan a
Christmas dinner. Each one in the class brings
something for that purpose. One of the boys
or girls can march forward dragging a turkey or
4 chicken, and other member or members OF the
same class following with articles for a Christ
mas dinner, not forgetting cranberries. mince
pie and celery.
