everybody seemed to enjoy the occasion,
notwithstanding the extreme ould and
disagreeable cold weather. There were
two trees, one sjfeoially for the Sunday
school and the other for those who were
not members of the school, who wished
to pat on presents for friends or mem
bers of their families. The exercises
were real nice, but owing to the in-
c.mieucy of the weather for the past
week tljey were uot what they could
have been, because the children were
nor able to meet and practice. Wt- first
had a song by the school: “Jeans, the
