presented a solemn picture as it
entered the auditorium of the
church carrying lighted candles and
singing "Silent Night" Marching
slowly up the outside isles, down
the center isles, crossing in front
of the altar and on into the choir
loft.
After a group OF Christmas car

with the choir of twenty voices as
she sang the obligato to the In

gregational song Joy to the
World"
The choirs were trained by Mrs.
