Great pains were taken to have it an especially enjoyable occasion, and the efforts were not without their reward. On Saturday evening the church was comfortably tilled with a congregation of children and older people to enjoy tho exercises furnished by the üabbathechool. The exercises consisted of a welcome address, recitations, solos, duetts, and bright and cheery choruses in which the whole school took a happy part. Views were then thrown upon the canvas illustrative of the birth, life, crucifixion and ascension of Christ. The stereopticon was in this way used with most excellent effect. Next came the distribution to the Sunday ischool of an enjoyable treat consisting of candy, nuts, etc. In this part of the program Santa Claus appeared, and greatly to the interest and delight of the little folks, officiated in his old-time ousy, fussy, authoritative manner. A beautiful Christmas tree stood in the alcove behind the pulpit. Following the de lightful chorus, "Glory to God," by the school, the benediction was pronounced. On Sabbath morning the pastor preached an earnest and appropriate sermon from Hebrews 10: 9. MLo, I come to do thy will, O God." The discourse was greatly appreciated. The Sabbath-school met at 12 o'clock and studied the Christmas lesson selected by the international committee. The superintendent had much of a special nature arranged for this hour also, and the duet, class song, etc., were thoroughly enioyed by all. The Endeavor societies had a good attendance and excellent meetings. In the evening at 7 o'clock came one of the very best services of all. The Sabbath school lestins for the fast t'.iree months were reviewed by the pastor with the use of the stereopticon. More than thirty views were shown, and teshle8 the interesting and instructive entertainment thus furnished, they assisted greatly to impress the facts of the lessons upon the minds of those who had studitd them. All the services of the day were well attended, the
