LARGE CROWD AT MOOSE DANCE Olympic Hall Attractively Decorated —18 Numbers on Dance Programme. The First Congregational church at (Pachaug) Griswold was very prettily trimmed for Christmas Sunday with wreaths, festoons and red paper bel]s The theme of the sermon by Rev. W. Harrison, the pastor, was the wise men’s visit to the child, Jesus. They sought for Him and found Him and presented unto Him gifts of great value. Jesus needs those three gifts now from His followers. Their gifts of gold are needed to help spread the glad tidings to all the world. Frankin- cise, an emblem of prayer and of wor- ship, is very pleasing to Jesus. Myren stands for sacrifice and willing ser- vice. Christ wants the willing gifts of money and prayer and worship but most of all He wants the whole heart- ed surrender of the lives of His fol- lowers in loving service. On Monday evening a large audience assembled in the church. The Christ- mas tree was made very attractive with numerous and beautiful decora- tions of bright tinsel and paper chains of many bright colors and bright red bells. it was also welil loaded with At 3 o'clock Friday afternoon the committee appointed by the directors of the Chamber of Commerce of this | see. clty which will make the arrange-| Present every Sunday for ments for the annual banquet of the C.
