Ihe program was ren^red throaghout in « manner that showed thorengb^ training and efficient management. Tbe cantata, "King Winter," -was very appropriate and interesting, and the- InAan club swinging, by six girls, was indeed creditable to the performers as also Miss Ettie Fordf who had trained them, iand superintended ^at exercise. There was a large attendance and ex- cellent order prevailed. The distribu- tion lof gifts from the Christmas Tree, by Santa Clans, was specially enjoyed by the children, none b^ng foi^otten.

The Bev. A. Carman D. D General Snpenentendent of the Methodist church, preached morning and evening. His sermon in the a. m. on "Hohness" was most aloquent, logical and forcible and was fistened. to with great interest, admiration and profit. The eyening was dark, wet and stormy yet the audience was large. The Rey. gentleman deUvered a "political sermon" or tiie duty of christiaos to the nation. This was a strange theme in the pulpit, but was presented as scriptural and handled in a masterly and thoroughly logical and convinctag manner. On Monday evening the weather was fair and a large attendance was again pres- ent. The excellent and abundant pro- visions made by the ladies for the wants ef tiie inner man was appreciated and provoked expressions of satisfaction on every hand. Shortly after « o'clock Major Rorke, M. P. P., took the chair, which position he ably filled. The choir did their part in a highly creditable manner, but the ^eat expectation of the company was the lecture by Dr. Carman on ^Tfae Jesuit Question,' which was interesting and instructive, but as is often the case when expectation reaches a very high pitch, there was more or less dissapointment.
