Helena Notes. Geo. B. Cromer, Esq., made an a dlress before the Helena Sunday-scho Dn Christmas afternoon, and at once ei listed the sympathetic attention of tf clildren by a touching allusion to tl wonderful star that shed its effulget light and glory upon the surprised shel herds, and to the song of the angels : the birth of the Saviour. He then dwe bri-fly upon the incident in the templ when at.the age of twelve, and agai when He confounded the smart que. tioner as to 'tribute to C:esar,' by IF incisive and unlooked for answer. Ti) image of the 'coin was the impressit teature of his discourse, and from whic is a text he preached a vigorous littl 3ermon, telling the children that, ina: much as they are made in the image < -o4l, they must render Him that whic is His due; and as He went about doin rood, so likewise must they; and not'b ;atistied only that our friends should I kintd to us and say pleasant things of u. we iust go forth to reet them in lik manner. We must abandon our indi rerent ways; and like the defaced an tarnished coin which is restored to it riginal brightness by the mint, can w be restored to the purity of the origina etc. His illustrations were very forcibb is they were also happily interwove!

By a special request of e the manager there were no expensive e presents on the tree, hence all received h presents at nearly the same value. e The tree at Mt. Pilgrim for Mr. S. J. Wheeler's school was a massive one. It seemed that as the clouds were unload h ing their immense sheets of water old Santa Claus stopped at Mt. Pilgrim and e disposed of his entire stock of wares e then and there-5S3 presents being put on and taken off the tree. Notwith e standing the heavy rains the children - and those who are not children, were t there in full force. Who can fathom the S depths of joy in the hearts of the e children.
