The interesting Christmas cantata presented last evening by the Methodist Protestant Sunday school contained two surprises. . The children taking part were put to sleep by the Sandman, and when old Santa appeared he found them all asleep, instead of joyously -awaiting his coming. Later, it was the turn of the children to be surprised, when Santa himself, tired with his day's wortc, fell asleep In their midst. "Sleepy Santa" was the title of the cantata, and it was put on the stage in a very clever manner, the singing and speaking parts being rendered without any hesitation or break. A large audience was in attendance and enjoyed the Christmas choruses "and the interesting dialogue between Santa Clans and the children of the school. The principal characters of the cantata were portrayed by the following: The Christmas exercises in the Presbyterian church attracted a large attendance last evening.
