Before an audience Of more than 500
people, the Sunday school Of the Meth
odist church gave most pleasing en-
tertainment last evening Singing, ex-
ercises and Rotations made up a pro-
gram lasting nearly two hours and de-
lighted the hearers with every number
so that several times applause was
heard and with every number rustic
I
the audience. The program opened with
a chorus of about 80 tots and juniors of
the Sunday school followed by pray
er by Rev, B, G Lipsky. A very enter
tanning program of about Is numbers
by the youngsters of the Sunday school
which followed showed the work of pa.
tient teaching Of the parts, which here
it may be said can be credited To Mrs.
Earl Batehelder who was assisted in
producing the music by Mrs Hudon-
Lawson of Montpelier AT the end of
the program an offering usually re-.
ceiyed at the annual pre-C Christmas en-.
tertainment was taken, following a
short talk by the pastor Of the church
The tidy sum received will be used for
relief and uplift work in the United
States and Tor missionary and enlight-
eminent in foreign countries Last even
ing many white gifts were received and
on Wednesday of this week they viii
be distributed to the societies which
win place them in the hands of those
who are needy,
One Of the most beautiful services
ever held and one which gave extreme
enjoyment was the Christmas exercises
and pageant in the Presbyterian church
last evening. A special Christmas ser.
mon delivered by the pastor, Rev, vii
liam Men Kittredge, in the morning,
together with special Christmas music,
was heard by many The first part of
the evening was given over to songs
and Rotations by the Sunday school
department and the little ones surely
did their part well The pageant told
the story Of the Nativity by song and
word and was pronounced to be one of
| the best Of it's kind seen in the city. A
large hidden choir took prominent part
in the entertainment. The decorations
were pleasing to the eye and came in
! for no little commendation The usual
| white Gift" service came at the close
/ Of the pageant. In value the amount
| given TO various causes amounted to
1 800. The distribution was as follows;
! Armenia and Syria relief, S3l75, Bel
/ gian relief, S2.S4; foreign missions,
I 1901; Sunday school work, Sls.l0; to
1 be turned over to the local welfare
worker, Miss Gridley, 1916, and a large
| amount of valuable clothing, food and
other miscellaneous articles. During the
service George Young was the recipient
of gift presented BY Alex Cordiner on
behalf of the Sunday school which has
been served so we'll for many years by
Mr. Young, who only recently resigned
Children and the older ones entered
cheerfuIly into the spirit of the occasion
and the response was highly gratifying
to the church officials Much credit for
the success Of the program goes to Mrs. |
kittredge and Mrs, ], Y. Laing, who
had the training Of the children in
hand. A Christmas social for the pri |
mary and junior departments will be
held at the church Friday night at
o'clock.
