choruses were splendidly sung by this


songs by smaller groups. The reci-
tations and dialogues were well given
also. The choir number, christmas
time is sharing time" was especi-
ally we'll rendered, and the solo, "The
STAR" by Eleanor Shafer, was sweetly
sung. The Rev. H. Sporleder gave a
short Christmas talk and while the
song Holy Night, Silent Might" was
given by five ladies, collection was
taken for missions. After the bene-
diction, sacks of candy and nuts were
given to all children present. The
hall was filled with an attentive au-
dience, each and everyone much
pleased with the Christmas story as
told in song and verse. This Sunday
school is the only one here and many
children from other denominations
are included in its membership. 1t is
fine thing when such an organiza-
ton is active in a community, and
should be encouraged by all who de-
sire for the betterment of the young
people.
