Of course the Xmas Tree with its ,widely spreading branches was it great surprise to many. We think the prizes were better than ever given before by Santa Olen ,s who came this etme flourishing two Union Jacks from South Africa. The program was, as follows .• Chairman's address by Rev, Mr. Anderson; a very suitable address wets given both children and visiters. The Rev. gentleman said that he Was delighted to welcome so many visitors and S. S. children. The teachers, too, came in for their share of praise. The platform was nicely decorated over which was suspended the royal colors, red, white and blue. After the chair. mares address a pretty dialogue was rendered by the two little favorites, Gracie and Iris. Warnock, The little ones looked lovely. Recitation, Little Chatterbox, was beautifully given by little Miss Alix Saunders; dialogue, Christmas Gifts, was well rendered by ten children; recitation,' Irene Sa,ults, well given, entitled "Repentance;" duett nicely given by Misses May and Annie Stoddart; a very pretty recite, - tion was given by Miss Eleanor Waik- er; Master Bruce Reid delighted all With his recitation, "Hang up the Baby's Stocking."

Then came little Flo Sallows, "My Kittens" was the recitattou Flo choseeand one would really think she had them all inher hands, the way in which she gave each its name. Dialogue by nine scholars, "We Want to see Jesus," was very impressive. Miss Daisy Roberts re- cited in her own pleasing manner. Dialogue by nine girls, "Christinas Angels," followed and each recitation was well given, Edna Straiton recited again, "Xmas in Cromwell'fi Time,' which she rendered in a truly heroic and pathetic manner. Duett by Misses Irene and Etta Saults, "I'm Glad I Met You, Mary," was well received, the soloists singing every word so die. tinctly. Miss Saults accompanied her sisters, Mi88 Vida Brown recited very .effectively her Ohristinat piece, "The Star of Bethlehem. Miss Brown's manner is always much admired. The dialogue and :notion song, "I an: so Glad 11 it Mlles Time," was well rens dered again by MiS8 StOtidate3 class, but that young lady being ill, Miss :guilts accompanied thetas:eery satis- factorily. There were eight little girls in this class, headed by Miss lilawy McLeod in a pretty costume of pale green. This ended the literary and remake) part of the entertainment. The ebirtiney was in the east encl of the lecture raom and under the supetinten- dence of Master Masons, Elsvrood CAM- ps,igh and James Thompson.

The beautiful Xmas anthem, "Come all ye Nations," was well rendered by the choir, Miss Eva Acheson taking .the solo parts. The quartette parts were sung by Misses Eva, and Edith Acheson and Messrs. Gordon Henderson and James Thompson, After the announ ce. aunts Mr, James Thompson ,gave in good voice his favorite solo Nazar- etli," The sermon, which juet suited the times, was an excellent one, Rev. Jasper Wilson taking his text from Matthew 7:12, "Theretore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets."' .At the offertory Miss Eva Acheson sang two veer Y fine solos, "Open the Gates," and "I know that my Redeemer liv- eth." Her voice was clear and eeety word was sung with perfect enunci- ation. Professor and Mrs. Simpson spent New Year's day withaelatives in Lon- don. Miss Oliver has been very ill, but as her sister, Miss Oliver, a trained nurse, is with her and a skilful M. D.,we hope ere this reaches our readers she will have quite recovered.

He is as Irish as of .ore. His recitation was "My correspondence." He too was recalled and finished his first piece with answering the conundeunt"What is the difference between me and the pig." The Shaking Quakers then rnade their appearance and everyone was surprised with their pretty thongh quaint appearance. There were seven little Shaking Quaker girls and their Shaking Quaker brother, Master Fred aturdy, who wore a small castor hat eand a chrysanthemum boutiniere, and really he had considerable courage to sing hie part alone. The girls all wore re- gular Quaker bonnets ofdrab, drab dress- es, white kerchiefs and whitelaprons.
