On Christmas Eve, according to custom, Santa Claus made his appearance at Cooke's church and gave the children a good treat. In anticipation of his yearly visit, the various classes had prepared an entertainment, each class contributing at least one number. Snmo tal ented young soloists, Misses Nelems and Malcolm and Masters Hill and Ogilvie, contributed selections loudly applauded, while choruses, recitations and dialogues were listened to with expressed delight for over an hour. The superintendent, J. Semple, acted as chairman.

At the close of the programme, the moderator of session, on behalf of that body, presented Mr. Kelland, the popular church organist, with a beautiful painting of the church in water colors, the work of the local artist, F. W. Lee. Then entered Santa Clous, and after the singing of "Rule Britannia," led by the old gentleman himself, the work of unloading the tree began.

"Something for everybody," was the motto, and no one went away disappointed. I'lVE DOLLAR NOTE HAS STORY. The following clipping was received at the Manse in a letter to his son from John M. Fraser, now residing at St. John, N.B.: "A $5.00 note of the Merchants Bank of Canada, which has a story to relate, if it could only tell it," is in possession of H.

H. Harvey, of this city, (St. John), who received it with others from the bank. The bill tears the written endorsement of Norman Fetterly, No. 17,226, 1st Canadian Contingent, Octavis, France, March 29, 1915, and also the rubber stamped inscription of the 'Bank fur Handel und Industrie, How the bank note reached the Berlin bank might be of Interest, but it is probable that it belonged to a Canadian prisoner of war." Norman Fetterly is one of the three sons of D.

Fetterly, of Chllli wack, now prisoners of war in Germany. Mr. Fraser is writing the editor of the paper that published the above, and thus will be forged another link In the chain binding East and West and the Empire in the one great cause of UNITED CHRISTMAS SUXDAY SCHOOL SERVICE A day long to be remembered amongst those interested in the and success of Sunday Schools In this city is the verdict after such a service as that held in the Methodist church on Sunday last, when there was, for the first time for several years, a united gathering of the schools connected with the Presbyterian, Baptist and Methodist churches. The visitors assembled at their respective schools, from which, after the usual roll call, they marched in procession to the Methodist church, where, when seated, they were joined by the Home School. On the platform were the ministers and superintendents of the" different' denominations, Revs.

H. C. Fraser, A. W. McLeod and W.

E. Dunham, and Mr. i. F. Semple, Mr.

J. T. Maynard and the home superintendent, no. Robinson, who had charge of the service. The sight of that sea of bTight faces was one never to be forgotten, as nearly 450, young and old, were crowded into the church and the adjoining class room.

The singing was led by the orchestra, and not for many a day has such singing been heard, vigorously rousing and deeply inspiring, It seemed as if a new life had come into being, in commemoration of that Great Birth of nineteen centuries ago Suitable and most appropriate addresses were delivered by Messrs. Semple and Maynard, whose remarks were received with evident Interest. It is hoped that similar meetings will be held, so that the work of the Sunday Schools may benefit by the undoubted stimulus attending Sunday's gathering.

H. R.

McLarty, of the West Australian Artillery, now at the Dar danelles, writes in the Perth news papers. Australia: This is how the men in this bat When the smoke lrom the bursting shells had cleared away Wallis ran up to see the damage. He found Mick Taylor crawling about the ground covered with blood and daz od. Bill said, "Are you badly hurt, Mick?" "No, Bill," he said, "I am only scratched. Look after Doug and Stan.

We aiterwards found that he was wounded in fourteen places. Bill Wallis then picked up Doug Lennard. The poor lad had one arm off, one leg shattered at the thigh, and internal wounds. He said, "I'm done. Look after Mick and Stan.

Don't mind me." Carter was leaning on the gun. He had a fearful wound in the side. He said, I'm sorry I'm moaning. I know it will upset the others, but I can'c help it. He died, poor lad, almost immediately.

His last words were, "Did they get the gun?" Doug was in fearful agony, but kept saying, "I'm dying, but I'll die game." He lingered for two hours. His last words were, "I died at the gun, didn't and so he. went, dear lad, the most gallant, the most unselfish little soldier ever made. He has taught us all how to die. Mick may pull through fourteen wounds grant it may be so.

The general spoke to us all. He said: "Dear lads, I have heard of nothing grander than the way your comrades died. I am proud of your battery. I only hope that when you return you will be appreciated as you should be." We buried the dear lads side by side at midnight. It was a real soldiers' burial.

The minister's voice was drowned in the crack of rifles while the bullets whistled overhead. And thus we left them. APPRECIATE ASSISTANCE.
