A Christmas service was taken part in first, by the children and after that came the tree

and Santa and the entertainment, much of which the children had planned themselves. A pantomine was given . by the children and a little tableau representing scenes and stories which belong to Christmas thoughts. Then two playlets was given by the boys and girls of the Senior classes, called "Seeking the Star," and "The fairest Star of Old. The little actors and actresses in all of these exerslses were in costume, Songs were sung by The Willing Workers, which Is the name given to the Junior girls of the Mission, and by the Busy Bees which the Junior boys call themselves. The Primary class also sang a song, entitled "Old Saint Nicholas." Two Girls Receive Honor Dolls '
