Is an entrance, but no way to get out ex-
cept to turn in very small space or
back out. Being in large car. we found
it impossible to make the turn, SO backed
out, which was very. tedious and waste
of time. We were informed that the
hearse and all large cars were compelled
to do this every time.
A town with your population and wealth
should have one up to-date and well car
ed for cemetery. 1t would show respect
for your dead who are resting there as
well as much needed improvement.
Your cemetery is large enough to have
the driveway around as most cemeteries
do. If you will notice in other towns
such as Smiths burg. Middletown or any
the size of yours. you will find them mp
to date and always cared for by man
appointed for that purpose.
am sure the citizens will not neglect
this important. matter If they are loyal
to their town.

Christmas comes but once year, and
with it comes good cheer; also number
of characteristic services. Last Friday
evening we held our Candle service; q
service of old and ancient custom in the
Moravian church. Lighted tapers are
distributed among the people in atten-
dance and these are kept burning while
the minister delivers short address. It
signifies the true light given % at birth.
| It also reminds US Of the command Of the
Master: "Let our lights 80 shine" In
this day and generation we need to be
mindful of our obligation to the Master,
| and let the world know upon whose side
we stand. Be strong in the Lord; serve
Him with gladness.
Saturday evening we held our annual
Christmas enter tainment. 1t was indeed
! very good. The decorations were just
the kind to inform US that Christmas was
here once again: The program was in-
deed nicely gotten up, and showed marks
of some hard and earnest work. lt'was
featured by violin solo by Mr.. r. Boiler
and male quartet selection. The whole
affair told us of the wonderful story of
I the birth of the Son of God; an old story
but full of new lessons and teachings
every time we hear it. A very large
and appreciative audience welcomed US
and received blessing for having at
tended. .
Next Friday evening New Years Eve)
the Ladies Aid will give their annual oys-
ter supper at the parsonage from until
9 o'clock. This is going to be very good
and splendid treat lies in wait for all
of us. Don't fail to come; receive a
good supper. If you eat one plate of oys-
tiers you surely will come back for an
other.
At 9 O'Clock we shall hold short ser
vice, the Memorabilia" for the past
year being read. The watch service will
begin at 80 and last until the Begin
ming of the New Year. An invitation is
extended to all. Come and join in these
services with US. Let US spend the last
few minutes of the Old Year and the
first few minutes of the New Year in the
House of God.
|. Next Sunday morning both the New
Year Lovefeast and the Holy Communion
will be observed A large attendance is
urged. Let all begin the New Year
Alright. Be at friends with each other,
and work together for the upbuilding Of

Merry Christmas Services,

Weather conditions were very favor
able to the Sunday Schools holding Christ
mas services. The air was crisp and cold
but there was no snow to wade through
to reach the various churches. Every
thing seemed exactly right to make each
one enjoy to the fullest extent the Christ
mas festivities.
The little folks at all the churches were
particularly attractive, and their songs
and Rotations much appreciated. The
church decorations were mostly of pine
and laurel such as has been the. custom
for many years.

Poland Has Fewer Holidays.

Poland has decided to follow the exam
pie of the American Red Cross and other
relief agencies by working on holidays
and thus hasten the solution of its recon-
struction problems. Seventyfve holidays
and fiftytwo Sundays reduced the work.
ing days in Poland to 23s last year. While
respecting tradition in another country,
the Americans found it decidedly disad-
vantageous to their relief work to sus-
pend operations on every local holiday.
The result has been that the Polish gov
eminent has recognized the necessity for
more work and less idleness and the peo-
pie have been quick to catch the spirit
and remain at home only on the more
important festive days.
