At 5 o'clock upwards ol 70 children sat down to tea, Then from 0 to 8 o'olock grown up people showed that they had not forgotten the art of enjoying a good meal. Altogether it was a happy company. A stranger, coming in, must have been struck with the uni versal good nature and rMijrej' mnnUestedU.aj.'iakSng. At about 8 o'clock, the pastor, Rev.

J. Knox Wright, B.D., took tbe chair and presented the program, which we give below. Every part was well rendered. The little folks, notwithstanding excitement and timidity, acquitted themselves very creditably. Special mention must be made of the choruses sung by the whole school, particularly the one entitled "Our Marching Orders." The marching, with waving banners, was very well done.

At the close of the program the tree showered down its gifts which were very pretty and suitable. It is to be regretted however that the foolish custom of making use of a Xiuas tree for perpetrating senseless jokes was indulged in by some irresponsible purt iesunknown to andccrtainlydisapprov ed by school and eongregatioa.

The tree fairly groaned beneath its load handsome, useful and valuable presents for both children and parents. Mr. Bent res.d a very nice letter from Santa Claus regretting bis inability to be present as he was suffering from a severe attack of la grippe, but hoped te be witb them next year.
