CART(X)N REVIEW OF 1923
All the services in the Moravian church during the Chrlstmns holi¬ days were largely attended. The weather conditions were fine, there was no snow however, and many of the children were disappointed as they were longing for snow. The weather was mild. The decorations in the church are very neat. Rear ot the large platform orected. In the pulpit recess, ts a large group of evergreen trees decorated with tinsel and miniature electric lights, wliloli makes a bea>Ulful oftcct and every¬ body seemed pleased with the sim¬ ple, but pretty decorations — the work of Frederick Martin's Sunday school class.
The Christmas Eve Vigils and Love Feast Christmas Evo. as usual, filled the large auditorium of that historic church to utmost capacity.
The old time program beginning with the singing of "Silent Night" by the choir without organ accompani¬ ment followed by congregational singing of real Christmas hymns still attracts those who desire a service that honors the Saviour of the world In a sane and dignified manner. Tha sing throughout the entire service was mobt hearty and inspiring. The distribution of lighted candles typify¬ ing Christ the Light of tlie world Is one of the main features of the service, and leaves an   abiding    im¬
pression on the minds of the children as well as adults.
The Sunday school attended in a body, the Beginners and Primary de¬ partments occupying the front plat¬ form si>ecially constructed for the occasion.
Christmas day the Sunday gchool rendered a program "The Cradle of Bethlehem" hy Tullar & .Meredith, in a brilliant manner. The large and efflrient orchestra contributed its quota in making ihe singing so in¬ spiring.
The Beginners and Primary de¬ partments covered themselves with glory in doing Iheir part so well. Miss Ethel Vanatta sang hor solo; with credit, as did also a chonis of girls.
The offerings for the Near East Relief and the Deiiconness Home in (iermany amounied to $112.
Christmas services Sunday morn¬ ing and evening added $,tO to that amonnt. Those services were also well attended  morning and evening.
Miss Helen Henry's class of the Sunday school on Tuesday made the niinual visit to the County Home and distributed gifts, consisting of candy cakes, oranges ami fniit to tho in¬ mates of the home Tlie folks at the home always look forward with much pleasure for this Christinas cheet- day.

Mr. Miller will give us "The Grand Russian Fantasia," one of J. Levy's solos which closes with the always beautiful Russian hymn.
Mr. Bender's offering will be "Ca¬ price," sometliing dllTerciit than th" conventional style of clarinet solo. These three soloists are either one well worth the Journey to St. John's chapel.
