New Glasgow Road.

The New Glasgow Road Bible Christian Sabbath School held their fifth Aniversary on Friday, the 19th inst. Although the evening was not very favorable, a goodly number of the parents and visitors assem- | bled, and the ladies very tastefully decorat- jed the school room with evergreens, and ‘the rewards, arranged around, made things look attractive. At the appointed | hour the worthy Superintendent, Mr, John

Boundy, took the chair. The meeting was opened by singing, and prayer by the

Pastor, the Rev. J. M. Tredrae. | The report read was very satisfactory; ‘the schowl having been open forty-six | Sabbaths, and nearly 5,000 verses recited | by the junior classes é

The programme for the evening consisted of singing, dialogues, and resitations, which were well rendered, and with the eloquent | addresses delivered by the Rev. J. A. |D. foe and the Pastor, all were delighted.

After the rewards and presents were dis- | tribated among the scholars the meeting dispersed, all well pleased with the even- ing’s entertainment, and resolved, by the | help of Ged, to keep the schvol open for | the winter seagan.

“Bells Across The Snow.”

UO Christmas, merry Christmas ! Is it really come again?

Wi'h its memories and its greetings, With its joy and with its pain ?

| i

And a shadow in the li. bt, And a spray of cypress twining

With the holly wreath to-night, And the hush is never broken

By the laughter light and low, As we listen in the starlight

To the ‘*Bells Across the Snow,”

There's a mitor in the carol |

O, Christmas, merry Christmas! Tis not so very long -

Since other voices blended With the carol and the song!

If we could but hear them singing, As they are singing now,

If we could but see the radiance Of the crown on each dear brow;

There would be no sigh to smother, No hidden tear to flow,

As we listen in the starlicht To the ‘ bells across the snow !”

O Christmas ! Merry Christmas ! ‘This never more can be ;

We cannot bring agaiu the days Of our unshadowed glee.

But Christmas ! happy Christmas ! Sweet herald of good will,

With holy songs of glory, Brings holy gladvess stil]

For peace and hope may brighten, Aud patient love may glow,

As we listen in the starlight To the ‘‘Bells Across the Snow.”
