Little Chi- nese tots got upon the stage and re- cited pieces in the English language in a manner that was surprising and re- lected great credit on their educators. The feature of the entertainment was the choir nposed whelly of Chinese men and women, who sang so well that out of sheer cu- riosity, ers were really of the Chinese race. After the programme was completed the presents were distributed. Not only did the little ones and the children of the schools receive some of Santa Claus’ goodness, but a vast number of presents were distributed among many heathen women, who were largely pep- resented there. The gifts were the do- nations of the Presbyterian churches ot the State. The entertainment was given um!er the direction of Rev. Dr. I. M. Condit and wife, who control Presbyterian church.
