really belongs to the children, since
it is held in celebration commemorate
ing the birth of the little Christ
Child, and of all the programs pre-
sented before and on Christmas in
Glasgow, none were of more import
ance or deserving Of more praise than
those given by the little folks, who
brought their gifts of story and song
and placed them at the feet of Him
who said, "Suffer the little children
to come unto me, and forbid them not,
for of such is the kingdom of hea-
ven."
Aside from some special school
programs, several Of the Sunday
schools of the city gave Christmas
entertainments on Saturday evening,
and in each instance the numbers
were so creditably given that the
grown-ups may well look to their
1aurels as performers.
At the Methodist church Christ
mas home scene was suggested by a
cleverly arranged log cabin, with its
lighted window, placed at one end OF
the rostrum, while huge fireplace
at the other end, with brightly light
ed trees between them, carried out
the suggestion of the interior of the
home. The following are some of
the especially fine numbers on the
program, which also featured drills
and songs by the entire school: A
song by Jean Rasey, whose future is
assured; violin solo by Phillip Smith,
who, at the age of seven, is playing
some of the masterpieces; recitations
by Gordon Magruder, James Mann,
Matthew Harrison and Ira Ernst.
who were enthusiastically received;
songs by Clinton Arnot and Spencer
harrington, both of whom have pro-
missing voices, as have also Doris Hal
let, who appeared in a special solo.
Another favorite with the audience
was the chorus, "Jingle Bells" led by
lite Merlyn Heddon. George Tillott
another promising violinist, played
an obligato to one of the chorus num-
bers. Mrs. H. j. Alden, who is one
of Glasgow's favorite soloists, sang
"Hark, Hark, My Soul" while group
of girls acted out the theme of the
song in pantomime. Dorothy, Har'
riet and Wesley Alden sang pleas
ing little song and the tiny tots o1
the cradle roll hung their stockings
in the fireplace as their number OF
the program.

all his gay paraphanalia, and the dis
tribution of sacks Of candy and nut
as a treat, terminated the eventful ev
ening.
