Flower committee's report was read and finance committee reported twelve blocks for the quilt had been sent out. They are still anxious to get in names for the blocks. The Ro]I Call was responded to by "What I have learned at the. Insti- tute." An address by the Agricultural Re- presentative, Mr. Ian McLeod, wai next listened to with much interest. His subject was "The Royal Winter Fair." He said the effect of the 'Royal on the Proyince is three -fold; first, guidance and incentive to pro, ducers; second, educative effect on those who attend; third, stimulation of business. He stressed the advan- tage to boys and girls of the various counties, five boys and five girls from each one, who by virtue of their, attainments in the county judging contests are given the privilege of attending the fair as the guests of the department of agriculture. fri this connection the speaker wan proud to say that Miss Margaret Durnin of Auburn, won first place this year in a class of 250 girls com- peting. Also Miss Alton of Lueknow eame 15th and was in the prize win- ning number.

A letter fronl Mr. Tomlinson of the Department of Agriculture, who was to have visit- ed the Instituto in January, was read by the secretary. It will be impos- sible for him to be present for the January meeting, but it is hoped that ,he.may be here for a later date. Mrs. Sturdy had arranged With Miss Cudntore to 'bring a class of Primary Grade Pupils to sing and five small boys 'and five small girls sang very sweetly, "Away in a Mann ger," and "Dear Old Santa Claus." Just as they finished singing, much to the surprise of everyone, dear old Santa Claus appeared in reality, carrying his pack which contained' a treat for all, with the President's best wishes. A. vote of thanks was moved to Mrs..Trewartha for Santa'zi visit and the lovely treat. A reading "Our Canada," was then given by Miss 1VI. Armstrong and fon an encore she gave. "The Inventor's Wife."

It is Christinas Eve, the eve of the Great Christian Festival, the one holy-daywhich is kept by the Universal Christian Church,; the anniversary of the birth of the world'e Redeemer. Sometimes, perhaps, we do not "keep this feast" with due re- verence; with thb proper sense of the importance, the majesty of r,+ this mighty event. But, looking back upon that helpless Iittle itlt babe, laid in the rude manger, up on the life of that simple "Man of Galillee," who was also the God of the Universe, one cannot but think that the best way to celebrate the coming to earth of a God who loved humanity enough to take upon Him for a time its ills, cares and limitations and who spent that time going in and out y among the people "doing them good," is to be kind, thoughtful of others, forgetful of self.

As. the paper came out on Christ- mas Eve thio year we thought it would be a nice thing to have the ministers thus deliver their Christ- mas message to a larger congrega tion than . any one could have in his own church, and for the people to have an opportunity to have such, a message from ' all the ministers. And we-. were most grateful that., they so ' graciously complied with our request.

The Public school pupils and alt the children from thr rural sehools- gathered at the school at hail past one and being formed into line, ac- cording to age, marched down town. The Kittle Band headed the proces- sion, and Santa :Clauss in a buggy,. as there was no snow, hauled by a little pony which tried its best to lock like a reindeer, headed the pro- cession.
