Beautiful Christmas Exercises at Trenton Presbyterian Church. ?Christmas was quite a happy day for the Presbyterian church at Tren ton, An unusually large crowd was present at Sunday school despite the threatening weather. At eleven o'clock, the usual hour for worship, the splendid young pastor delivered a magnificent Christmas sermon, read ing the ninth chapter of Isaiah and using a clause of the sixth verse; "His name shall'be called Wonder ful." Again in the evening at seven o'clock, the doors were thrown open for a Christmas celebration-one of the most beautiful and most beauti fully appropriate ever given in Tren ton. Tho red-shaded lights cast a warm Christmas glow over the entire church was so tastefully arranged for the occasion. The pubpit was divested of its regular furnishings and trans formed into a cozy, home-like living room. There was the real built-in brick chimney and mantel with hand some silver candelabra at either end, and an . open fireplace larg enough j for a great, tall, fat Santa Claus to come through. Mr. William Wise in his usual easy graceful way, was "master of cere monies." First on the program was a read ing, "A Christmas Story," in which Miss Sabe Miller touchingly pictured, with tenderness and pathos, the birth of "The Prince of Peace." Following this came a beautiful drill by the in fant and primary classes of the Sunday school, while the choir softly sang "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem." Then lovely recitations by little E. L., Vera, Elizabeth and Imogen Posey. Fourth on the program was a wonderfully sweet violin solo by Miss Sabe Miller, accompanied on the organ by Mrs. P. B. Wise. And last, the exquisite pageant, "The Day's Come," in which Mr. B; T. Horde was "The Watchman," Miss Maude Bet tis "The Voice of Despair," Mrs. W. B. Posey "America" and Mrs. S. H. Manget "The Word of Prophecy." each ideally suited to his and her part, and splendidly driving home the great moral teaching of the pageant. Much appreciation and many thanks to Mrs. Manget and Miss Bet tis for contributing so to the success of the program. Little Robbie Butler Wise, the youngest member <if the Sunday school, proved the most regular at tendant during the year, and in be half of the Sunday school was pre sented a beautiful copy of the New Testament, by Mr. William Wise, who commended not only the tiny tot, as as held her up in his arms before the vast audience, but also the faith ful young parents who had made her attendance possible. As the congregation was singing, . a great commotion was heard up . front, and down the chimney came ( Santa Claus, with a pack on his back .filled with toys for the children of the Presbyterian Sunday school, and candy and fruit for all children pres ent. He was a dear, happy old fellow even though times are hard and he had a hard time getting there, and with many a twinkle of his merry eyes and stroke of his long, gray beard, he called the children one by one, making them happy with gifts. And not only the children did he remember, but with a touch of fun, 1 he called the officers of the church to ! the front, and each for his particular ? attainment rewarded wi:h a stick of ; red candy: Messrs Albert Miller, for regular attendance, Sam Manget for most improvement in public speak ing, Walter Wise for most improve ment in singing and William Wise for general faithfulness.
