The Christmas Tree

The Christmas Tree
The Christmas spirit was greatly
manifested in our town Christmas eve
night. being brought about by the
Methodist and Baptist Sunday schools
coming together and having their
Christmas tree combined.
The tree was at the Baptist church
and a most beautiful tree it was. 1t
was loaded from bottom to top with
gifts suited to make glad the hearts
of all classes from the babies to the
grandparents.
The exercises began at 80 p. m. J
After rendering of short, tho very
appropriate program, Old Santa made
his appearance. He moved quietly
down to where the tree stood, and at
once began taking off the presents,
and calling out the names. 1t was at
this time that the real Joy began, es-
pecialix for the little folks. Old San
ia was assisted in the distribution Of
the presents by committee apolnt-
ed for that purpose. The last pres
ent was taken off and delivered at
about 9 80, o'clock at which time the
large congregation was dismissed in
order.
May the spirit that prompted the
two Sunday Schools to come together
on this occasion, be the dominating
factor of each one as days come and
go.
