ranged for Tuesday evening was de-
ferred until Christmas night, 80 as to
wait the arrival Of Santa Claus, and
for paths to be broken through the snow
drifts so that the children could at
tend. The concert given under the di-
rection of Mrs. Mamie E. Moore was
highly enjoyed. Mr.. Geo. w. Smith, in
a few well chosen words, commended
the work Of the Sunday School, and
Mrs. Moore for the splendid entertain
ment. He then introduced Mrs. Matte
Foster to the audience. Mrs. Foster, in
her winsome but modest way, presented
