We were delighted to hear that
so many officers, teachers and schol
ars had not missed a Sunday School
service during the past year. A
large number had the record of not
missing a service except those due
to illness. Many had the record of
not having missed a service in two
years. Even greater than this there
were some who were so faithful
they had not missed a single church
service during the year.
Let’s get started, you who are
not already lined up aftd see how far
we can carry this record during the
year 1936. But with this record may
we labor as co-workers, ready and
willing to serve for Him who first
nerved for us.

HORNTOWN M. E. CHURCH j
PRESENTS PAGEANT!
- I
The Horntown M. E. Church pre
sented the pageant of the Nativity!
of Florence Kimball, Sunday even-'
ing, December 22. For six years this!
thurch has presented this pageant |
on the Sunday night preceding •
Christmas day, ushering in the
Christmas season with the story of j
he birth of the Christchild as told i
n the scriptures, showing it in liv-1
ng pictures and hearing it sung in
he glad old Christmas carols.
The pageant is never given as an
?ntertainment, but is put on to re
fresh the minds of those who go to
it of the story as told in the gos
pels of Matthew and Luke. It has
become a tradition in this little
church, whose aim it has been to
have the birthday of Jesus stand out
as his birthday and not the day “old
Kriss brings me gifts.”
In spite of a blinding snow storm
Sunday evening, the pageant went on,
this year under the directorship of
Mr. Philip Hickman and Miss Aileen
Hickman. Every member of the cast
and it was all inclusive as to age
from S to 84 years of age, acquitted
themselves with honor.
The worship was led by Mesdames
Holland Rowley and John Hickman.
The carollers, gowned in white robes
and red cossacks led the carol sing
ig. nMiss Elizabeth Meelheim presid
ed at the organ.
Mr. George Evans, the town’s old
est resident was Zacharias and as
usual was at his best; Miss Virginia
Davis <was “The Angel”; Miss Mary
Davis was Mary. The Shepherds,
Wise Men, Angelic Host, Joseph, all
gave reverent interpretation of their
parts. Miss Louise Marriner was
reader.
After the pageant the audience was
invited to partake of the holy com
munion at the birthday supper of the
Lord. Mr. Battin, Presiding Elder,
assisted and made timely and ap
propriate remarks.
May it be possible for this little
church to present this pageant for
many years to come, that as the chil
dren grow to maturity they may take
with them to their homes the mes
sage of Christmas as told in the
Christmas story, not selfish getting,
but the Birthday of the King whose
birth was heralded by the angels,
who was worshipped and ^adored by
kings, potentates and simple shep
herds and whose coming meant,
“Glory to God in the highest and
on earth, peace to men.”

Washington News
Letter
By Mrs. Jessie Fant Evans
Special Correspondent to the
Peninsula Enterprise
This past December, Washington
mid-way southern belle that she is
— has greatly enjoyed her own hos
pitality without the Congress of the
United States capturing the limelight
that is rightfully its due when it is
in session.
By Constitutional change you will
remember Congress no longer con
venes on the first Monday in De
cember but on the first Monday in
January. Particularly during the
Yuletide season the city’s own resi
dential ranks have given parties ga
lore. Instead of footmen bowing in
the uniform of various countries at
embassies and legations, one has been
met by smiling colored doormen who
have in many instances been able
to call each guest by name. For in
stance, when the world-famous Dr.
and Mrs. William Holland Wilmer
(Washington lent him to found the
Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hop- J
kins University) gave a party for!
their granddaughter, Miriam Scott, j
their colored servitors themselves j
had an acquaintance with many of j
the famous folk who called that af-1
temoon, that a society reporter might
have envied. The same was true at
the debutante party of Nancy Leiter,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Leiter and niece of Lord and Lady
Curzon. The Leiter mansion, you j
will remember is the famous cream
:olored one at Dupont Circle. From
it Mary Leiter went forth the bride!
of the young secretary at the British j
Embassy who was destined with herj
at his side to reign Over India as
its Vice-roy. Her father, the late
‘Joe” Leiter’s efforts to break the
Chicago wheat market are a part of
stock exchange history.
Many Washingtonians, boyhood
friends of the Ambassador to China,
Mr. Nelson Johnson are rejoicing in
Yew Year cards from him and Mrs.
Johnson tranquilly seated in their
Chinese garden at Peiping with their
little son, the Ambassador's name
sake, at their side while wars and
rumors of wars fill our papers. The
Ambassador, many of us will recol
lect, is one of the few diplomats in
the world today who can fluently
speak and read modern and classical
Chinese. Upon his return from a
vacation in the United States just a
year ago, a new regime somehow
unaware of this linguistic prowess of
his asked him to address a large
gathering of Chinese, providing of
course the customary interpreter and
taking no precautions whatsoever as
to guarding their own conversation.
The greetings were made in Chinese
and then slowly and painstakingly
translated into English for the Am
bassador’s benefit. In turn, the Am
bassador when called upon, said a
few words in English and waited for
the translation. Then he launched
forth into Chinese as perfect as that
of the most scholarly Chinese present
to the mingled horror and amaze
ment of those who had arranged the
gathering. At the conclusion of the
Ambassador’s remarks, Oriental stoic
ism for once broke down its inscrut
able calm and huzzas and enthusiastic
cheerings that rang out to high
Heaven.
Another New Year card which is
not only delighting Washingtonians
but folks all over the United States,
is that of one of the world’s most
famous cartoonists, Clifford Berry
man, originator of the famous Teddy
Bear in the days of President Theo
dore Roosevelt. From the man who
draws a political cartoon for publica
tion every single day of his life
and who is known the globe around
for a humor that delights but never
bites, tliis caption from Mark Twain,
the greatest of American humorists,
is quoted as his centenpial year clos
es, “Grief can take care of itself,
but to get the full value of a joy
you must have someone with whom
to share it.”
What a good time Washington is
having too before Congress hits a
busy legislative stride having to do
with the bonus, increased taxes and
what not — in listening to the Sin
badian tales of the Vice President
and Mrs. Garner, the Secretary of
War and Mrs. Dern, the Speaker of
the House and Mrs. Brynes and sev
eral score of congressmen, their
wives and children who journeyed to
see the Philippine Islands become an
independent country. From this trek
to far away China, Japan and other
eastern countries, honorably, these
distinguished travellers have brought
back souvenirs the like of which
Marco Polo never knew. They range
from pet monkeys to strange poll
parrots, flying fish and Oriental
crickets that can chirp like nothing
that the American katydid has ever
been able to produce. Then there are
Java sparrows with pink feet which
you can tuck in your pocket; and my
nah birds, Japanese finches, brown
rice birds and orange and green
nightingales which sing only in Jap
anese. Bringing this cargo of odd
things not found elsewhere home on
the boat, a government transport,
wasn’t much of a problem but fitting
water buffalo horns with a six foot
spread, coolie hats that have the
span of the “Merry Widow” sailors
of old, Moro spears, head-hunting
Igorot costumes, carefully and bulkily
boxed sets of Satsuma china and
jade into a Pulman birth across
the continent from San Francisco
was something; of a trial to passen
gers and porters. “We who enjoy
the sweet spices of Araby,” so sel
dom suspect the difficulties incident
to their transportation, might well
be the plaint of these returned Con
gressional folk.
