It was one that series of the White Gifts for e King. Miss Rilla Spoon gave the young people of the Sunday school. The music was indeed attractive and it was a great asset to the ser vice. Appropriate Christmas carols as are arranged in the play were used and they were so well rendered “that the solemnity of the little service was deepened and the occasion made more impressive. The objective of the play was to discourage the display of gifts on each other and to direct them on the Cause of the Christ child. This was the greatest phase of success in the whole service. Previously the Sun day school decided to make no gifts this year in the way of a treat or a tree, save to the Beginners and Pri maries. The giving was to be for a building fund and each class was to make its offering separate. The goal was made five hundred dollars. When the time came in the presentation of the play for the gifts to be made, each class in its own characteristic way presented its gifts in money. Some came with their gifts in little stock ings and baskets and small tin banks. One small class presented their gifts, hanging on a miniature Christmas tree. Others came with checks and the hard cash. The most attractive method of presentation was made by the Ladies Aid. A darkened was extended from the rear o church down which a dove was With a delightful message. Thfc lighted in a small tree used oration and was removed by — ceiver who found the message a seventy-five dollar check. Boethian Bible class led the Sunday sehool classes with a gift of sixty dollars. The treasurer received more than the five hundred dollar goal. “It vas indeed an impressive service,” yas the comment made at the close Mr. Wells and springs in Randolph have sen relieved by the rain which has *n falling for the past several days, w ground is apparently wet to a ipth not reached by the light rains the past months.
