METHODIST SUNDAY SCHOOL
CHRISTMAS SERVICE

The little folks of the Methodist
Sunday School delighted a most ap.
preciative audience at the Christmas
service last Saturday evening. The
young peoples chorus was excep-
tionally well trained as was evidenced
by the pleasing harmony of their
members. The songs rendered by the
classes of Mrs. Clarke, Mrs. Eaton
Mrs. Durgan and Miss Bugbee were
especially well received. The ges-
lures of the children, together with
their singing, accentuated the charm
OF these exercises. Pleasure in the
musical program was further height
ened by the beautiful solos of
Marion Mead and Gladys King. Re-
markable talent was shown in the
rendition of these numbers. The song
by the quartet composed of Ruth
Lawson, Doris Atchinson, Philip King
and Lyle Silloway manifested an
unusual degree of musical ability.
In addition to the music, much
enjoyment was derived from the reci-
tations of Robert Waite and Emma
Hurlburt. Marion Brooks, in her
usual pleasing manner, gave a very
effective reading, entitled angels
Lullaby"
The Interpretation of "The Little
Christmas Spirit" by the classes of
Mrs. Best and Ruth Clark, assisted
by Mr.. Ellis in the role of Santa
Clause, not only entertained the audi
ence, but exemplified the true mean
ing of Christmas. Little Miss Farr,
as the Christmas Spirit, introduced
to Santa Clause nine little girls who
represented various Christmas rites.
Mrs. Best's class presented an orig
lnal exercise given partly in panto-
mime and partly in song, which
showed great deal of painstaking
effort in the training. The dolls
lullaby was very cleverly planned and
performed
Variety in the program was
achieved with the aid of two dia-
lOgues, entitled "a Christmas Box
From Aunt Jane" and "a Christmas
Birthday Party" The former showed
an amusing side of human nature.
while the latter presented to the lit
tie folks an appropriate manner in
which to commemorate the birthday
of Christ.
Especially worthwhile was the
picturesque tableau, entitled "Christ-
mas Memories" in which Christmas
carols were sung. Effective costumes
were used to emphasize the Yuletide
season.
The thoroughly enjoyable and in
spring program was brought to
close by the exercise of Shirley Skin
ner's class, in which several little
people, with lighted candles, bade
their audience good night
Santa Clause then appeared and in
his customary genial and lavish man.
ner presented toys and gifts to the
happy children.
This worthwhile program was
appealing. A great deal
of credit is due the committee in |
charge, especially Mrs. Almon Call
and Mrs. Pearl Mead.
