The Federated church last night
held its Xmas Sunday School exer
cises. A howling blizzard and in
terrupted electric light service
fought hard to prevent the program
being carried out, but without avail.
Braving the storm the children,
large and small, came with faces
wreathed in smiles of Xmas cheer
and along with them came the par
ents and many other grown ups. all
ready to do homage to the Christ
Child spirit of the night.
The first part of the program was
given by the light of an oil lamp as
the storm had caused ait interrup
tion in the light service. The st.m
was iii semi darkness. The orators
and actors did their hits like veter
ans ami one was reminded of the
description of the early Shakespear
ean days and the art of suggestion
then employed hv the partly illumi
nated stage.
The program was concluded by old
Santa distributing to each lad and
lassie a hag of Christmas candy,
after which .ill dispersed to their
homes tired and happy. To single
out any individual child for special
commendation were to do injustice.
All did splendidly.
The men and women who were
responsible for the pleasant evening
surely carried out the command of
the Master: What Ye do unto the
least of these, Do Ye ulso unuto Me.
