At the M. and NJ club meeting at the
home of Mrs. Ray T. Johnson Tuesday
evening, Mrs. ]. B. Tedrow presented
paper upon the forms of music, Ada
Gerber discussed the kinds of opera,
Mrs. Johnson took up the differences
between arias, choruses and anthems,
and Mrs. Bossenberger the four most
famous oratories and their construc-
ton. The club has borrowed several
volumes on music from the very good
musical shelf of books at the Kendall
Young library and will use them in
the preparation of their next study
program, which will be on the popular
operas. There are about six practice
nights to every lesson night on the
club calendar. The next meeting of

Ada Gerber and the response to roll

About fifty pounds of delicious home
made candy has been started on it's
way to France The candy is the con-
tribution of the Methodist Sunday
school to the Christmas festivities of
the boys in the trenches. 1t has been
the custom of this Sunday school to
give bags of candy to all of the town
children who attended their Christmas
exercises each year regardless of the
church affiliation of the child, and in
stead of doing this this year, they de-
cided to send it across, where 1t
would do doubly duty as Christmas
gift and as food, for sugar is one of our
most highly concentrated and neces-
sary foods. The M. E. Sunday school
is not a very big one as numbers 60,
but it makes up in practical Christian
ity what it lacks in numbers.
