Carols and Christmas Hymns
WITH THE TRUE SPIRIT, MAKE QUE
COMMUNITY TREE A SUCCESS.

The FIRST community Christmas tree In
South Paris certainly marks q suitable
Observance Of the occasion, and 10 likely
TO lead to others In the years to come.
While the weather, a. was to be expect
cd at the season, made little modifca-
ton OF the program necessary, only one
session OF the singing was omitted.
Whatever difficulties the program en-
countered, the community tree itself
was physical success. It was securely
guyed, and withstood the gale of Friday
night, which blew down the Portland
municipal tree, without accident.
On Wednesday men from the Oxford
Electric Co. put In PLACID the lights on the
tree. At the top was fve-pointed star
OF green, outlined In small white incan-
descent lights. Other lights In white,
red and green were distributed through
the branches of the tree, and when they
were lighted up, the effect was brilliant
and very pleasing. The tree was lighted
up every evening from Wednesday and
thereafter.
Friday evenings rain entirely prevent
ed any outdoor demonstration. On Sat-
urday evening, In spite of cold wind, q
good chorus of the school children gath
cred around the tree and sang carols.
Mrs. Agnes L. Morton, who has been
training the children for some weeks, &C.
companied them on an organ which was
carried out from Mr.. Wheeler's music
rooms for the occasion, and there were
also two comets.
Sunday evening was mild and still,
q fine winter night, and the carol sing
ing was done comfortably, and was at
tended by large crowd. Following the
singing all went to Deering Memorial
Church for the union service. The
church was filled to Its capacity, the
children being seated in the choir and
on the platform.
just little over an hour was occupied
by the service, which was according to
the program published, except that q
cornet solo by Lloyd Davis was substi-
tuted for the selection by the Schubert
Quartette. The remarks by the several
pastors were brief but impressive, and
the old Christmas hymns by the congre-
CATION were spirited and earnest.
Monday morning at o'clock there was
the last session Of carol singing by the
children around the tree in the Square,
and Santa Claus appeared and gave each
of the children bag of candy and other
good things.
Besides the community affair, there
were special services In the churches
and by the several Sunday Schools, as
announced, besides many private gather
ings.
