Church in X'cldon on Sunday, Dec. 24th, were especially enjoyable in many ways. At (1:30 o'clock there was special music appropriate to Christ mas. Ai ihe eleven o'clock ser vice the music, ihe Scripture les son, a fervent prayer by Rev, F. M. Shainhurger and sermon by ihe pastor, all bore reference to ihe happy Christmas tide. One feature of this service was the pre sentation by Mr. A. B. Stainback on behalf of the church and the choir, a silver card case to Mrs L. D. Dayman, a handsome leaiher. fully equipped, toilet case, io Mr. lili Bloom and a Morocco bound Hymnal to Mrs. Alice B. Hudson. Mrs Hayman has served the church as org inisi faithfully, pa tiently and for a long time, Mr. Bloom, un expert violinist, has added much to the music at every service and Mrs. Hudson has served as choir leader for quite a while. It was entirely fitting and appropriate that these services should be acknowledged as they were in this most happy manner. The evening service was beaui ful and impressive. The altar was elaborately decoraied in while and green with many candles and just above a beautiful eleciric star point ing io the Slur of Bethlehem. The Chrisimas carols and anthems sung by ihe choir, assisted by the juni or choir of ihe church composed of young girls, was enjoyed in the highest degree. These were ac companied by Mrs. W. A. Pierce at the organ, Mr. Bloom violinist, Messrs. Grainger and William Pietce, with cornel and clarionet and the harmony was entire and complete, li is seldom that the Weldon people have listened to a i .11 .1 . more enioyutiic program an rcu- ung io ihe coming of the infant Saviour and the insirumenial num ber "A Perleci Day" expressed the feeling of the congregaiiJii in regard to the entire service.
