Christmas was made a real Christ
mas for the Sunday Schools this year.
Each Sunday School had a visit from
Santa Claus with all of his Christmas
goodies. Santa vas very generous,
too, for he served all of the young
people that were present. After a
very delightful programme from each
Of the Sunday Schools Santa arrived
aud distributed all of the good things,
and wishing us all a very Happy New
Year, departed to fill the hearts of
others with joy and gladness.
Santa was very generous to the pas
tor. After all the other gifts had
been distributed, in beautiful words of
love and appreciation, he presented
the pastor with a little Christmas
stocking, containing a small box, in
which was found twenty dollars in
gold and other moneys, with a card of
the seasons greetings. Again your
pastor wants to express his apprecia-
ton for the gift. The gift is, indeed,
great, but the spirit that prompted it
is the greatest. God bless you and
may His love continue to fill your
hearts!
The superintendent and their faith
full workers Iare to be congratulated
on the excellent programs that were
rendered. TWAS evidence of faithful
work.
Wednesday evening at 1880 O'Clock
we will have our mid week service at
Union Church, after which we will
have a Church Social in the form of a
Watch Party at the home of Mrs. j..
R. Baldwin. All are invited-both
young and old.

Gods blessings be with you, is my
wish for the New Year.

School Notes.

The next Lyceum number will be
given January II.
The laboratory apparatus ordered for
Agriculture and Physical Geography
has been received.
The temperature at the grade build
ing is~not kept up to the standard be-
cause of the poor fuel used. The re-
cent strike of the coal miners, andthe
opposition of certain tax payers to a
higher incidental school tax, IRE re-
sponsible for such conditions.
Many pupils are absent from school
this week. The vacation should have
been extended beyond the New Year
entrance.
The water system at the h~ighschool
building is still out of repair. 1t is
unwise to compel people to drink
water that is not pure. 1t will prob
ably cost the community much more
to combat illness caused from drink
ing stagnant water than it would have
cost to repair and install drinking
fountains.

London. July 2o.-Persons arriving at Cairo from Damascus emphasize the determination Of the Arabs to re- sist a French advance as outlined in the French ultimatum to King Feisal Of Syria, says a London Times dispatch from Cairo. The tribes are reported to be fiocking to the support Of Feisal and enthusiasm In Damascus Is high.
 King Feisal Is understood to be op- posed to warfare but presumably he Is unable to control the people who have become wrought up by the ul- timatum which was delivered by Gen eral Gouraud. the French com mander.
 The regular Syrian forces are es- timated to number from 10000 to 10000 and arc under officers who were trained in Europe and have war experience.

Two amateurs, it has not been definitely decided who. will be paired with them or against them in the match. Vardon and Ray prefer to play together and an effort is being. made by the local committee to obtain men who will at least give them a hard tussle for the win. It is possible. though. that they will bc upon opposite sides when the teams start.
 \ large gallery is expected to att tend the matches. When the two professionals displayed their skill for the first time this trip a few days ago on the Siasconct course 1t was esti- mated that 5000 people followed them. Enthusiasts are numerous in this section and it ifs probable that there will be an appreciable number on the links. Admission will bc charged although it is not thought that tho collection will meet the ex- pensc. There will be two rounds of IS holes each. one in the morning and the other in the afternoon.
 Although Harry vardon is 50 years Of age he Is one the top of his game and one of the best professionals of England. His mate equals him in golfng perfection. the two being the pick of the British field. Ray and Ngrdon nrc both powerful drivers and versatile iron players.
