NEWCASTLE U.NITED CHURCH 5. S. CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENT (Intended for lait week) A splendid program cof Christmassy and pantomimes was rendered by the recitations, longs, drills, dialogues teachers and pupils of the Newcastle United Church Sunday School at their Christmas tree entertainment in the Sunday Schooi Rooms on Thursday evening, December 22nd. Rev. E. B. Cooke offered the op- ening prayer and Mr. Howard Glen- ney, Superintendent, ofllciated as chairman. The wbole school under direction cf Mr. W. J. S. Rickard witb Miss Elizabeth Hancock at the piano sang two fine choruses. Little Reita Cooke, six years cf age, shone as the youngest soioist cf the enter- tainment in her rendition cf "I want te do something for Jesus". Little folk contributing recitations were: Carl Fisher, Jean Hanna, Wilma Far- row, Donald Jose, Gracie Powell, Brenton and Helen Riekard, Artie Toms and Mary VanDusen. Mns. Ewart Ciemence's class cf girls con- trîbuted a weli rendered chorus. Mrs. J. R. Fisher's class cf girls ap- peared in a seasonable and well act- ed dialogue, "Father Time". Boys and girls of the Prîmary Cîas, taught by Mrs. J. C. Hancock, made lots cf fun for themseives and the« audience in a stocking drill. Mrs. (Rev.) E. B. Cooke's class cf twenty-five young men made a splen- did impression in their three scene pageant iiiustrating the song "We three Kings cf Orient Are". The costumes cf the shepherds, the kings, and the angel impersonated by Miss Lillian Clemence were striking features cf this number. Mr. Archie Gienney read the story ilustrated in pantomime and a chorus cf young men sang the verses cf the song as required behind the scenes. Miss Nora Cowan's class cf girls iooked very pretty in a Chrigtmas pantomime, the verses accompanying which were sung by Miss Kathleen Spencer. Mns. Norman Richard's 1 class cf girls staged a three act playiet featuring lots cf hf e and action and even bringing in a Santa Claus. it was entitled "Christmas at Boarding School", an original yuletide comedy, written for the oc- casion of Miss Minnie Pearce, a mnem- ber cf the class. The arrival cf Santa Claus with abundance cf "kisses" in bis capa- clous pcckets was hailed with hilar- loua deiight by. alI the kiddies from the Cradie Roll uP, severai cf whom had aiready had the pleasure cf meeting the genercus and jovial, white whiskered old saint on the af- ternoon cf the same day at the clos- ing exercises and exchange of gifts in Miss Elizabeth Hancock's rOOro at the public schoel. The distribution cf gif ta from the pair cf heavily laden trees, under the direction cf Santa and bis helpeTn, brought the evening to a happy close. THE WISE FRIEND Once upon a time-and net very long ago-there was a brother and sister whe had a friend. A very special friend he was, who tcld them tonies about men who fiew through the skies over far-fiung spaces cf the earth; cof boys and girls who had thnilling and mysterlous adventures; cf others whc had most unusual situ- ations confront themn, yet managed to come through their tests with steadfast and courageofls hearte; cf wild animnais in deep jungles-hOw they iived, hunted. and died. Such a host cf things did their goed friend tell them cf, and how interestiflgly he told them! Came the time when their friend moved away te ancther tewn. Brother and sister were saddened by bis go- ing, for they knew they wouid miss his cheery smile and the wonderful stories and amusing anecdotes he was se fend cf telling them. Then one. day the postman brought them a let- ter from their friend, in which he told them he was sending them The Youth's Companion so they would not forget him, and that in it they would find just the sort cf stories they had se much enjeyed hearing him tell. And sure enough, a day or two lat- er the magazine arrived, and brother and sister found that it truly did have juat such wonderful tonies cf adventure and sport and mystery, and juat such jokes as they leved so well. And every time that a new pumber of The Youth's Coznpanion, arnived, they wrote a note te their friend and bold bim how much pleas- une the magazine gave them.

Mason addressed the, lweekly 'Vesper service Sunday after- noen. Ail the boys bave returned from their vacation and report a most en- joyable visit home. Dr. G. E.Reaman attended the Christmas dinner cf the Arts and Letters Club in Torentc at week. Mr. Seggie, placement aupervisor, and Mr. Brown visited a number cf the graduates last week. The report in every case was excellent. The schooi aiso received a highly useful Christmas present from the Government in the fcrm cf a new Star coach to replace the old Ford. Members of the staff aise had a few holidays while the boys were away. Some travelled quite a distance to spend Christmas with relatives. Mr. J. E. Cunningham attended the West End Y.M.u,.A. Old Boys' Re-union in Toronto Thursday night. Mr. Lunningham served as assistantý physical director at West End Y.M. u..A. rer a number of years befere ceming to Bowmanville. The third annual Christmas dinner and entertainnient, held cn Thursday, December 22nd., quite measured up to the standard cf what an afair of this nature should be. These annual eventa provide a fairly ac- curate indication cf the growth and development cf the school. Two years agc the first Christmas dinner was held in a rocm in the Darch house. There were 19 beys in the school then. Last year about 50 boys together with members cf the staff and their wives made up a party cf 80 who celebrated the Christmas festivities in the dining hall and the playrocm cf Kiwanis Lodge. This year the celebration quite surpassed anything to date bcth froni the standpoint of impressivenesa and growth. A group of 160 pensons compcsed cf staff, wives, boys and graduates gathened at the dining hall for dinner at 6 p. mi. Juat be- fore the serving cf the first course, 16 beys cf the achool presented one cf the biggest featunes cf the pro- gram, the Boar's Head Procession in ail its solemnity and beauty. After dinner the Christmas tree and enter- tainment were staged in the Assemb- ly Hall cf the new achool bîilding. The presentatien cf athietic awandi' in the Track and Field Champion- ships was made by Dr. G. C. Bonny- castie. Santa Claus, true to bis promise net te disappoint anyene. arrived right on time. Fer the next haîf heur jcy and happiness reigned1 supreme as each boy received a gift1 from the >iuge Christmas tree. KR Santa left and the jollity subsided, ail sat back and enjoyed a motion picture show which bnought the pro-4 grami to a close.9 What The Dr. Said Tonsils are diseased, MUST op- erate, Mrs. Sybilla Spahrs Tonsilitis was applied, Tonsils healed and the opratien cancelled.

David Rogers cf St. Thomas, whom b e has known since bis boyhood -days this very interesting contribu- tion: ? A giance at the calendar reminda 1me that on January 5th., 1928, 1 will have ciosed a period cf 53 years in the ministry cf the Church. By consulting, tee frequently, the famuly record and the calendar, one might become discouraged. Alth-ough the calendar has its uses, good and true, it is net for the measuring cf a man's usefulness or the petency cf bis days. Age is, te an extent, a mental pro- cesa. It ia net cf the spirit. Men and women grow old when they think themselves oid. They drop ancher without întending te put out te sea again. They close the doors and put up the ahutters. They refuse te see new faces or foster fresh happen- ings. The worid calis for youth, and I am glad I was born yeung, and dis- creet enough te choose dear old Dar- lington for my birth place. But if the passing cf youth deprîves us of some things, the coming cf matur- ity brings ether treasunes that time alone can give. such as experience, caution, poise and ripeneasscf brain and heant. Lt la tnagic, therefore, if net cruel, te consign a man te the scrap henp just because the almanac says "he is past fifty" or past some other age. Oliver Wendell Holmes said "To be seventy years young is semetimes more cheerful and helpful than te be forty years old" I A neighbor met Ex-President Ad- ams in his cld age and said "And how is my friend John Adams this merning"? and he replied "John Ad- ams la very well air; the house in which he lives la weakening and bad- ly in need cf repair, but John Adams is very well, very well, 1 thank you". That reminda me cf a poem cof six verses two cf whicb I recaîl, written by an aged Christian on the occasion cf bis 85th birthday: Nature and reasen tell us ail This sbattered frame ere long must fali, When, where, or how, is ail unkncwn. We'll leave that te the Architect. And trust His wisdom Wo direct A.nd taking cf it down. And when you see it prestrate lie, Let not a tear bedim the eye, The tengnt is net bore. But juat beyond this littie apace 1 find sanie quiet resting place, No more te date my year. It is meat delightful te rocaîl the early brick house, with "1849" chia- eled over the front do-or, where I spent the days cf my childhe>od and youth in a Christian home and in Ged's great cut-of-doors; where the Sunday School lastod the full year round; whero the chunch papers came regularly and whene the duat was net allowed to accumulate on the Bible and where my religious life and expenience began, with its longings and aspirations yvhich found, in part. their fulfllment when I entered the' ministry 53 years ago. It seema net se long past, that simple yet ecstatic hcur, when these godly ministens were my example and guide and when those early Christ- lana sang and prayed with ferver in aur many revival services. 1 find in looking over a fairly ac- curato record, that I have preached 6,300 sermons; delivered hundreds cf revival, missionary, tomperanco and other addresses; married 350 couples, baptized 825 children and adults and made an innumorable number cf pastoral visita. 1 sorrowfully acknowlodgo that my persenal record is blurred and mar- red with many imperfections and blunders , but God's love is a bound- lesa sea and bis sustaining grace an ample aufllciency. "Having obtained help cf God" 1 bave kept the faith with which I started eut. and as the years run away here and make us old, so etor- nity comes nearer to endow us with everla.sting youth. 1 anticipate witb an indescnibabie dolight the reunion over the river with the companiens cf my earthly labors. I seem te have getten dloser te them than ever before. They crowd about me now and I see their familiar faces and hear their tniumpbant songs in the Kingdom cf Light and Love. It is a pleasant thought that I bave livod beyond the three score and ten years, and whilo one ila hable te go at any time, I am grateful my pewers have been se woll preserved that I may remain yet for a littie tume. If se, I shahl continue te bolieve in and te pneach full salvation fro ni through the atoning sacrifice cf the woman, too.
