i OF the old year, and upon invitation
5 Of the pastor, Rev. David Kellar,
there was large crowd, many of
the other churches joining in the
service, which began at o'clock.
A very interesting service of song
and prayer, readings and talks was
arranged and about the middle of the
watch love feast was enjoyed.
AS the hour of twelve came every
one was bowed in prayer, which was
led by the pastor, who thanked God
for His loving and bountiful care
during the year and pied for His
guidance as the new year was being
entered into.
The church bell pealed in the New
Year and all over town could be
heard loud proclamations that indi-
Gated the arrival of the New Year.
On Tuesday evening, December
27, Christmas tree was held at the
Baptist church, and this was large
and beautiful one. The tree was bril-
liantly lighted with red and blue
electric lights besides many candles
/. and the toys on it made it a sight that
was lovely to behold. Every child up
to 12 years of age received gift,
and a bag of goodies, and every per-
son in the building enjoyed oranges
and apples from the pyramids of
fruits at the. tree.
A fire place was arranged and Sam
ia Claus really came, and after a
talk to the boys and girls, distribu-
ted the gifts.
The occasion was one of great hap
piness and pleasure both to young
and old, and the Sunday school
should never let another Christmas
pass without the Christmas tree.
