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.
Back cf every success is one who
dreams dreams and sees visions, and
