The night was perfect, the Church was crowded and the attention given to the little folk. as they performed their va- rlou_s,.p'arts attested to the interest ta- jken by the large audience. The pro- gram 'throughout was well rendered. Special mentionmight be made of the Dialogue "The Christmas Rainbow." given by eight little boys and girls. also the “Darning Song" given by ilvc young girls. who looked very quaint in the dainty capslsnd spectacles, bor-
