Of pleasure from their unusual
Christmas tree.
The very artistic decorations that
were put up for the Christmas night
services were left in place, and they
added to the trees beauty. The tree
was a pine tree, and many people
claimed it was the most beautiful
they had ever seen. 1t was loaded
with lights, stars and gold and sill
yer tinsel and did not have a single
gift, because the little folks them
selves suggested the gift money be
sent to the Armenians and Syrians
instead. They also sent ten dollars,
to the little orphans in Jacksonville
The children first sang their Christ
mas carols, and after a few short
prayers Rev. Ottmann gave them a
short but interesting talk. Each child
was then given an orange, an apple
and bag of candy.
At the conclusion of the affair,
Judge w. NJ. Gober surprised Rev.
Ottmann and the mothers of the
children who were present by pre-.
senting Rev. Ottmann in behalf of the
vestry members a beautiful leather
travelling case, in appreciation of his
devoted and untiring service
