Having made an excellent record for his company in a • business way, Mr. Bidlake asked Mr. Thompson to make a visit to the state with a view to investing some of the surplus funds of the company in Mon- day night at the Congregational Church were a great success. Despite the stormy weather the church was filled to standing room and all were pleased with the efforts of the committee and the program rendered by the children. A large tree and other decorations had been installed giving the auditori- um a pleasing appearance. Quite a lengthy program was given in which each child in the community who was old enough to take part was given a place and all did well, reflecting credit upon those of the committee in charge • of the work who had spent much time All Kinds of Good in training them in their respective parts. After the program Santa Claus ap- , peared upon the scene—much to the wonderment of some of the smaller children—and disported himself for a while, before assisting in distribut- ing the presents from the tree. Every child received a present from the com- mittee in charge as well as a treat in the way of a Christmas stocking filled with candy. It is safe to say that the real spirit of , Christmas is highly appreciated by the entire community celebrating with the children in this manner, as the large attendance of grownups who enjoyed the program and helped make it a suc- cess would indicate. We hope the orig- inal idea of a union Christmas celebra- tion may be carried out each year. 1 Congregational Church Notice A \New Year's Address\ will be delivered at the regular hour for church • services at 1 )oth G eyser and er no Congregational churches, on Sunday. .

A fine turkey supper was served which was much appreciated by all. After supper Old Santa Claus came in his airshop—or in some mysterious way, for after making plenty of noise outside, he appeared in the dining -room door—and was heart - tin welcomed by the Children. He made his way to the parlor, where a grand Coristmas tree was ready' for him to light the candles and distribute the gifts. After everyone was remem- bered and the children with their arms full, Santa Claus bid them \Good Night.\ The mystic spell was then broken by some excellent music from Mr. Kernaghan's new graphophone. Some time was spent in playing games and with jest and story added made the evening one long to be remem- bered, for everyone on going away said it was the merriest Christmas they' had ever spent. Outside the immediate family, some of those present were: Mr. Duncan Johnston of Spion Kop, Mr. John Kernaghan. Mr. and Mrs. (7. E. Lille- gard and family, Peter Forbes and Mrs. J. Burrows and daughter Alice from their western home in Oregon.
