THE Christmas Tree at the Metho­ dist Church was a success iu every par­ ticular, and many a young heart, and some older ones, were made liappv on that occasion.

In slio«r, exercises and Present giving from beginning to end were conducted in ji manner that reflected great ereditupon those having it in charge.
