the north window was hoisted up

with a whoop that siartled the little
people and some of the older ones
and sent the blood tingling through
the veins. The old fellow failed o

down and went round to the door and

At St Paul's Oiurth.
Christmas Eve at 7:20 found a
large crowd gathered at St. Paul's

the usual c-xerc;es given by the chil
dren cf the Funday nool at this Joy
ous and s'jr.ific an tirr.e. After the
singing of the ever beautiful "Ftille
Nat hi" ar.d a prayer. Rev. Ftexer
opcn-d the program with a few re
marks. He spoke concerning the
origin of the observance of Christ
mas and cope lally its being celebrat
ed with the appropriate evergreen
tree. He showed this custom to have
originated in Germany and to have
j been brought to this country by our
German forefathers.
An excellent program was then
given, alraott entirely by the chil
dren. The program was made up of
songs, short readings and dialogues.
The readings showed good work and
honest effort on the part of each In
dividual. BesldeB this should be
men'Joned a short play. This showed
a very poor family In their home on
Christmas Eve. They were expect
ing very little in the way of gifts and
the like to make them happy; yet
their beautiful contentment and their
thorough reliance on God's goodness
brought them at the close, the hap-
' plest of Christmas. Throughout the
entlie play, enough humor was min
gled with seriousness to make the
whole highly enjoyable.
With the signt of the brilliant tree
and the reception of the usual Christ
mas bag, each child was happy.
At the Christian Church.

A tastefully decorated cedar as a
Christmas tree occupied a plao on
