even settle Indefinitely.
.Tolstoi's was universal mind. He
does not belong to Russia entirely,

played and after they had played
about a half hour Christmas songn
were sung and impromptu recitations
were given. Rev. Mr.. Brown told
many interesting stories about Christ

beautiful tree, which had beer occu-
plying so much of the childrcn's at

chairs which had been provided, and
listened to the stories that were told
by Mr.. Brown, and the scene was
made all the more lovely by the deco
rations of red and green crep@ paper,
balloons and the numerous Christmas
balls which were hung about the
room.
