Cantata by the First Baptist Sunday School Last Evening. The cantata, "Santa Claue Expected," presented at the Academy last night was very Interesting and fully enjoyed by all present. Santa's fairies, having been previous ly announced by Mattle Lumsden in a well rendered solo, were present in full force and were encored repeatedly WHIa Norrls as Queen of the Fairies, delighted the audience with a sweet solo and after taking her seat on the throne -was entertained by solos ren dered In a charming manner by Mary Ray and Helen Allen. The parade of nations. In which Un cle Sam, Jno. Bull,' the English Dude, the Irishman, the policeman, the In dian, the Esquimaux, the Scotchman and the Ancient Warrior, were the principal factors, was well executed. A duet by Mioses Ellen Durham and Lottie Klupperburg. and solos by Miss mine DlcKs, Bessie Rogers and Walter Simpson were special features and re ceived a good round of applause. Jim .Thomas as Taddy Santa Claus did his part excellently. The supreme moment arrived when Santa. Claus came in his sleigh with a bill snow 'ball full of presents for the little folks. The Xmas dispensary was presided over by Mr. William Royall as Santa Claus, Mr. Powell acted aa though he possessed exneirepecJnlCI, though he possessed experience In such matters. A solo by Santa was well ren dered. Mr. Sam Parish 'presided at the piano In his usual creditable manner. Mrs. Brinson deserves much praise. and many thanks for her work In training the children ODD FELLOWS COLUMN. A Christmas greeting to all. Election of officers the coming week. Be careful in the selection of officers. One inefficient officer may cripple the lodge. Proficiency and zeal are the essential qualifications. A new lodge, under an old charter. will be organized at Washington, N. ., on next Thursday evening. Our Grand Secretary spent several days recently among the lodges at Beaufort, Morehead City, Newbern and other places. It is gratifying to note that the close of the year 1898 shows' a much livelier merest in the order than waa shown at the close of 1897. The Grand Secretary Informs us that he has pressing- Invitations to visit lodges and to participate in demonstra tions of the order in many places Just now, but he can only be at one place t a time. We are glad to welcome home our oung friend, Willie Woodward, who ret.ched here from the University on Thursday afternoon to spend the holi days with his mother. He has been the Hill for-only one term, but is 'ngressJng finely. Have you noticed the fraternal senti ments expressed by the president of the United States recently while enjoy- ng the hospitality of the people of Georgia? We rejoice to see the daily press teeming with such fraternal mes sages. Our president Is only giving expression, in a different form, to some of the sublime lessons taught him in his odge. The time will soon come when the laws of fraternity will govern the world, and Odd Fellowship is no small factor in accomplishing this result. How will we spend Christmas? Odd Fellows, as such, recognize no creed, save a belief in the Supreme Being and the brotherhood of man, but 1t is equal ly as emphatic In its veneration for re ligion and subordination to civil gov ernment. It is also a strong advocate of "peace on earth," and of "good will to man." Therefore, in celebrating such an important event as the ushering in of the dawn of government by love, a. cardinal principle of the order, we can engage in the Joyous festivities of Christmas with as much zeal and en thusiasm as any. During the now closing year, this col umn has several times called attention to a better system of co-operation be tween the several organizations of our order in this city. Only a very slight move In this direction has so far been demonstrated. Heretofore there has been no concert of action, no real un derstanding, nor real fraternal co-operation between the officers or members of the lodges and encampment in out laudable work. If there Is one thing tai'ght more strongly by our order than another it Is unity. Strength in un ion, strength In co-operation.. We hear brethren at other places re marking that Odd Fellowship in Ral eigh ought always to be on the boom. "We expect Raleigh to be the real Mec ca, the great center of Odd Fellowship, glowing with zeal and aroused with life and vigor. When you have got three subordinate lodges, a Rebekah Lodge, an Encampment, the Grand Secretary and his Yffk:e, six Past Grand Masters and Past Grand Representatives and a Past Grand Sire, what can hinder the order in Raleigh from capturing the town?" Separation must be the cause. A very small child can break a little stick, but a large bundle of such sticks, well bound together, will defy the strength of a giant. The trouble in Raleigh is too muoh separation. Recently there has been a Joint relief , committee created by the four lodges, whose duty will be to look after and care for sick and disabled members, who are strangers or visitors in the city. This is a laudable move and Is tending toward co-operation. The next move should be an organisation of at least the presiding officers, if no more, : of each branch of the order In the city, to meet together as often as necessary for mutual counsel and such other mat ters as may with propriety be consid- red for the- welfare of the order.;-' ' i -Will this be done? If not thla will anything be done leading In the direc tion Indicated r. Members of the Legis lature will expect to see the order alive here: will they be disappointed? Th . Grand Lodge will again convene- here w.thin Ave months; will It be disap pointed? We shall see. v . , THE "CINCINNATI." By Cable to The Times-Visitor.1; . - HAVANA, Dec. 24.
