(Continued from first page) after this fashion : "Little Lucy Priest" "Little Florence Bradbury" and "Little Mary Neales" and many, many more, who are, perhaps, over well, not just children, and all the while the big au dience joined in the laughter with the children and everybody felt good natured and happy; glad that there was a "Christmas." When the last bag of candy was gone and the orange table was empty, Santa said good-bye to the children and leaping on the stage disappeared as their sweet voices were raised in a pandemonium of happy response. Mr. A. G. Warren, of New York city, made a perfect Santa Claus and was fine ly gotten up, dressed in a bright red kniekerbocker suit and high boots trim med with white and wearing a high peaked hat, a irresistable smile and a full flowing beard. lie was assisted in the distribution of the gifts by Mrs. Montgomery A. Crock ett, of Buffalo, Mrs. Arthur C. Ketcham, of New York, Mrs. C. E. Atkinson, of Newburyport, Mass., and Mrs. A. I. Creamer, of Pinehurst. The children were seated by a com mittee of which Miss Priest was chairman. Tlie Afternoon's l'rog-ram. Friday afternoon's program which be gan at 2 o'clock, drew a company which nearly filled the hall. The little ones were looked after with the same care, as regard to the best seats, as on the even ing previous. Toys and useful presents, confections and oranges were given to every child present by the same genial jolly Santa Claus. The Holly Inn orchestra was also in attendance. A slight change in the program was made. At first came a selection by the orchestra and after which the children sang three carols, then the orchestra played again and "The Night Before Christmas" was read very delightfully by Rev. A. E. Johnson, of Providence, R. I. A pleasing effect was produced by darkening the windows of the hall and lighting the interior by electricity. The Committees.

( Continued from first page) the tabernacle of the divine presence. In the lowliness of Bethlehem and Naza reth the glory of the Son of God was veiled from the sight of man, but He who walked among men in humility and suffering was Emanuel, God with us. He received men's worship and claimed their allegiance as His due. The divine presence is still on earth, for the Church of Christ is His Body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all. Through him we have access to God, and the blessing of the Almighty rests on all who seek him. Through the life of His followers our Saviour means that God should be daily made manifest unto men. He is with us in the simple things of every day life, and gives us here a foretaste of that blessed presence which shall be revealed in the fulness of the great hereafter. The Christmas day offerings were for General Missions. TIH3E 1011 coioiti:iciiii.iJii;:v. Event Draws Assembly Wliicli Taxes Capacity of Villag-e Hall.
