‘ 6:30 last night, there were almost people
enough in waiting to fill the church. and
before the exercises commenced every
foot of room was ticcupied. The outer-
tainment was a unique one. and very
elaborate in its character. It wan, if we
may no speak, a series of living pictures
illustrative of Mother (loose characters,
accompanied by the well-known childish
melodies. For the scenes, special scen-
ery had been painted by George Wash—
burne, which were of the most artistic
character, and served a very important
purpose in the beautiful and cute situa-
tions represented. The church choir
rendered the vocal parts. By the aid of
colored electric lights the tableaux were
given with best effect, and every one
called forth applause that necessitated a
repetition. A magnificent Christmas
tree occupied one side of thcplntform,
which, when the distribution of presents
began,was electrically lighted and moved
near its center. The entire affair was a
most successful and creditable one.
