Some excitement ensued as the
enthusiastic applause of the players
ceased when the jingle Of bells was
heard and the RENDERS were brought
up short at the front door OF the
church with sharp whoas. Mr.. Nc
Arthur fastened to the door and
welcomed, not only Santa, but Mrs.
Santa, also, who greeted him with a
resounding smack, much to the de-
light OF the children. Mr.. and Mrs.
were warmly welcomed with shouts
of glee. Santa carried large sheet
OF paper and pencil and as he and
Mrs. sauntered down the isle they
stopped to shake hands with parents
and take down the names of new
children and what they wished for
Christmas Santa forgot his stick for
there was one boy who needed it. He
and Mrs found some extra good little
who had helped their parents
or been good to the baby or learned
their lessons we'll in school and they
will be specially rewarded.
Four scouts broughts baskets heap
ed full of candies and popcorn which
were distributed after Santa and Mrs
left. These boys were Diehl Snyder,
Gerald McGirr, Neil Cole and Clark
wilkinson. Promising to put the
Sunday school in their list of calls
next year, Mr.. and Mrs. Santa Claus
left or the next Sunday school.
One reason the children enjoyed so
much their party was that each had
already made some child glad in Bara
boo and they are sending sixty dol
lars for relief in Syria and Armenia.
