The Sabbath school of Gurley Presbyterian Church gave its Christmas entertainment Inst evening in the spacious rooms of the school. The library, parlor, infant class and Bible class rooms were thrown open for the use of the scholars and their parents and friends. Even ‘then there was scarcely sufficient seating room for all and the galleries were crowded. After prayer had been offered by the pastor, Rev. W. S. Miller, Mr. Benj. F. Stallings, the newly elected superintendent, in a few well- chosen words welcomed those present, and spoke briefly of the progress of the school. Singing by the scholars en masse wana fre- yuent number in the program. The singing by iss Henderson and Mensrs. Gee and Doyle was very well rendered. Following this Mr. Charles H. Merwin, for- mer superintendent, gave a brief talk to his scholars and associates. Tho yazoo chorus, participated in by Messrs, Gee, Metcalfe and joyle, won the enthusiastic appreciation of the children. Twelve demure and serious-faced youthful maidens, neatly attired in the black garments of vestal virginbood, and led by little Miss Schaltz, then filed on the tform and sang with plaintive voice the tale of woe of “Peter Gray.”” While Superintendent Stallings was making an announcement an outer door opened, and amid the shouts of the Juvenile element, the platform and drew from a capacious pocket | notes alleged to be written by certain prominent | officers of the church. After the reading of each note the alleged writer was presented with some token of remembrance. Among those thus remembered were Rev. W. 8.

More than two-thirds of the entertainers were children, for it was children's night, but they entertained their parents and friends in the old time but vet very pretty way. Across the ministerial piat- form “had been placed an evergreen arch, studded with golden stars, while arranged taste- fully in the background ‘were palms, flowers and flags, The program was a varied one, con- sisting of songs, readings, recitations, instru- mental musical selections ‘and appropriate ad- dresses. The cornet solo of Dr. Lindsay and the reading of Mr. Graham were particularly enjoyable, while the addresses of Rev. Mr. Wyn- koop of Western Church of Washington, of Mr. Archibald Greenlees and of Mr. John Leetch added materially to the ee evening. When the program proper D concluded Mr. Greeniees stepped before Mir. Wrnkoop and. in the name of tbe church pre- sented him with a handsome umbrella. Mr. ‘Wynkoop has never failed to respond to the re- quest of the church to officiate at marriages and at funerals, and the presentation was only for the purpose of getting a chance to tell bh publicly how the ‘membcrs appreciated jen in the name of the congregation that was celebrating Mr. Wynkoop in a happy presented Mr. Greenlees with a magnificent bungh of white roses in recognition of his many services to the church. ‘The small members of the congregation then came in for their share of the presents, and, as it was stated that Santa Claus was unable to leave his home on account of the scarcity of snow, four prominent worshipers acted as dis- tributers. All received a goodly supply of candy, and many later in the week will be Presented with books. RESULT oF 4 “PERSONAL.” A day or two a agoa personal appeared in one of theevening papers, in which the writer sought the society of a young man with a view to matrimony, and it was stated that a reply from a policeman was preferred. One of the seventh precinct eligibles, who has spent most of his life on the water, and who is unfamiliar with the ways of women, in a spirit of fun answered the advertisement. ‘To his surprise, Sday or two later, he received a letter, in which the writer said that of all answers re- ceived his was the most manly, frank and sin- cere, and she therefore desired him to meet her atagiven point. The meeting, though, must take place during the day. Seeing that, per- haps, he had gone a little too far, no more at- tention was paid to the matter, but the lady was evidently in earnest, for after waiting reasonable time she came over to the station, summoned the lieutenant before her and in- quired if there was an officer under him answer- ing to the name of B., at the same time show- ing the letter she had’ received. She then ex- prested a desire to see hig, and the officer was accordingly brought out. 'He was very much embarrassed when he discovered the trouble he had got himself into, but finally he told the lady that he did not desire to marry; that he was not financially able to do eo, and that at any time he was liable to lose his position. To all these objections the young lady paid no heed, saying that it was the husband she wanted. not the money. After quite a lengthy talk, however, the lady departed and the officer breathed easier. ores.
