CHURCHES OBSERVE
 OCCASION WITH AN
 EVENING IF GIVING

"'Tis more blessed to give than to receive
 This was the keynote struck by all the churches in their Christmas enter tainments last night. Ordinarily Christ mas has been celebrated with a tree loaded with gifts from friends to friends in the congregation. But giving day. was observed this time, and the giving was not to friends, but to the poor and needy of the city and to the starving children of foreign lands.
 In the Central Methodist church the altar was covered with white cloth. instead of the conventional red and green of the holidays. The different classes of the Sunday school had thought up novel ways of presenting their offerings of foodstuffs, one of them trundlingthe load to the altar in 4 white wheelbarrow. Songs and music rounded out the evening, and the story of the white Christmas" was pleas ingly told by one of the teachers. The | food will be contributed today to the | families which may have need of it.
 In the First Methodist Episcopal church the giving" was in cash dona- | tions, the sum total to be sent to re- lieve want among European children But the women of the congregation ] sprang q surprise on the children who
 came with their minds made up to give and receive not. Great baskets ot
 candy in individual bags were discov-
 cred, almost at the last moment, and
 distributed to the pleased youngsters.
 This custom is a natural outgrowtl
 of the unseIfish war time days, and is
 the real Christmas spirit as taught by
 the One whose birthday is being cele.
 brated all over the world today. A Christmas program of songs anC recitations was given at the ZiOT Evangelical Lutheran church last even ing. followed by a Christmas tree an, gifts for the children. Other churches l had Christmas Eve entertainments. | community Christmas entertain ment was enjoyed by residents of .th | Creighton district at the Creightoi
