This is to tell the story of the good day the orphans had at Christmas. Not, indeed, that it was much unlike other Christmas days, but that our friends may know how dearly the children of the Thornwell Orphanage love them and how well you love them also. Indeed, all that could be done to make children happy and to help them to a noble life, God's dear people did. From Charleston came old Santa Claus to fill the 300 "stockings," plethoric bags rather, that stood upright at the door of every child on Christmas morning. For many years, we cannot say how many, F. W. Wagener Co., of the dear old City by the Sea, has filled these bags, and that he sent enough it is only necessary to say that a two-horse wagon went twice to the depot to bring it up,? nuts from the smallest to the greatest (200 cocoanuts) and candies and bananas, and crackers to eat and crackers to pop and sparklers, and dried fruit and a dozen other things made up the ample loads. It was just great! We wonder whether any other children in all Soutn Carolina received as rich a Christmas. Then from all parts of the country and from friends too many to mention there were Christmas presents, two or three for each child of them all, while some that were special favorites received from distant friends, riches of good things, for which all give thanks. There was a splendid Christmas dinner. Twenty-five turkeys were needed as one item of the bii. of fare and these were all given (or bought with money specially donated) for that purpose. Florida sent in a fine lot of oranges. Twenty boxes In nil tirnnn nl nlnvnn n f xi'hinh came from one city. Nor were these too many, for fruit is the greatest safety of the child at this season of the year. The children themselves did much to enhance the joy of their Christmas occasion by their sweet behavior and kind interest in each other. Th'ere were parties at all of the cottages; there were special treats to us in the visits of dear old boys and girls who came back "home" to visit the scenes dearly loved. One of our matrons started on Christmas day which was Friday, to take thirteen children of six or seven years df age on a visit to Spartanburg where they were royally entertained by kind friends. Many of them had invitations out which they were permitted to accept for the day. The institution also had much to be grateful for in the many dollars sent to aid the children. Atlhough the receipts lacked nearly a thousand dollars of the amount given in December 1908, yet as this lack will doubtless be made up in January and February and March, there is no distress about it. Some noble gifts were received. A lady friend in Aiassacnusens gave ^auu iur me euuuwment fund; to the same fund came the splendid sum of $600 from the Christiansburg, Va., Sabbath School, a gift that challenges the admiration of us all; two banners, each covered with 120 crisp new dollar bills came from the Sabbath School of the Central Presbyterian Church of Atlanta. Two Christmas checks for $100, each, came from South H. 25. Carolina gentlemen, and another for $145from another, and he an editor. On the whole our preset Christmas season was equal to any that have gonebefore it, in interest, in the happinessand good health of the children and in the comfort that prevailed everywhere. Some other matters of. interest wemust mention. The friends of Dr. Samuel P. Fulton will be pleased to know thatt he is with us and that his health is rapidly improving. He hopes by mid-summer to be able to return to his work in Japan. At present, simpiy in obedience to his physician's command and not because he sees the necessity of it, he is avoiding pulpit work. Mrs. Fulion is very kindly supervising the Georgia cottage for a few months that she is with us. Rev. J. H. Clarke, pastor of the La Fayette, Ga.. Presbyterian church, is spending Christmas with us. He was once uav ui uui uuj a cxiju is unvii)s givtii i* glad welcome. There are enough deserving orphanboys applying for admission to overflow any cottage on the place; but of room we have none. Surely another boysr cottage is needed. And it will be built whenever a generous donor is found tosupply the lack. It is mentioned above that the recelptsfor December were nearly a thousand dollars less than for the previous December. While this is not a present danger, it promises badly for the summer as we have always laid by enough in December to tide over these dry months. But we believe that to mention this fact will rouse our friends to make this new year of 1909, a noble year for the little people. Good are the pleasures of Christmas and generously have they been furnished to the children. But more needed is the dally bread and molasses aim tut; lumgs mac go co cne ounaiog 01 noble characters.
