The Sunday School Christmas
entertainment was presented last
Sunday evening, at s p. m, in the
church. A special program had been
prepared by committee. The
music was furnished by the Junior
Choir under the direction of Mrs.
John Lennon, with Miss Connie
Parvis accompanist, and the Chan
eel Choir, under the direction of
Mrs. Harold Brown, and accom-
panist, Miss Connie Parvis. 1t was
time for the small folks and they
had a most interesting program.
The Manger scene was most touch
ing and those who acted the parts
did well. When Santa appeared
upon the scene, there was much
action and everyone present re-
ceived a treat. The committee who
prepared the program and the tea
chers deserve a great credit to
take a bunch of youngsters, tame
them down and train them, takes
patience and more patience.
AS next Sunday will be the last
Sunday of the old year, let's all do
our best to be present at Sunday
School and the worship service for
when we listen to lessons from the
Bible, we are receiving the best
education in the world.
