THE CHRISTMAS TREE AT THE
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN* CHURCH
Tho big Christmas tree at the
First Presbyterian Church and the
exercises iu connection with it prov
ed to be one of the most attractive
features ot the Christmas week. The
committee in charge, consisting of
Mrs. A. II. Hillery, Miss Elsie Good
ger and Fred BlancJ.ard, had provid
ed an excellent program portraying
the Chrismas spirit in relation to
people of many and few advantages,
as represented in u few American
children and a few Syrian children.
Tiie latter were in costume and add
ed very much to the effectiveness of
the truths they sought to picture.
Santa Claus was there and dis
tributed candy, nuta and oranges to
every child in the audience and to
everyone In town of whom wo could
get knowledge.
The audience which greeted the
speakers was the largest gathered
in the church for some time. The
Sunday school children filled the
small room, and the auditorium was
tilled and about twenty were stand-!
Ing in the rear. It is estimated ihat.
nearly two hundred were present.
The offering was taken for tne
Syrian children. U amounted to
$fiO. This was increased Sunday to
$SS, and It is expected to he In
creased to $120. This will provide
for two orphans In Syria.
The church wus beautifully decor
ated with evergreen and wreaths
made from hemlock, the decorating
! having been done ot: Wednesday
night by a corps o£ volunteers.

A CHRISTMAS

eVKKY year when Christmas comes

packages under their arras and speak
ing In mysterious whispers; little Jack
and Peg and I are taken over town,
excited and happy, to see old Santa
enthroned In a case of cotton batting
snow on the second floor of the big
store.
Then comes Christmas morning with
its surprises and Its beautifully
trimmed tree. The height of the day's
happiness is reached when Uncle Ben
and Aunt Molly arrive with their chil
dren, rosy cheeked and rosy nosed, too,
from the effects of King Winter's nip.
After all pa's anil ma's folks are
there, the house Is Just onj lump of

ways the most pleaslug to me Is when j

Thus It was. Rut last year tt was
different for me. Ma got the wreaths
as usual; the same good odors came
from the kitchen ; the crinkling of Sal

same as ever; we were taken over
town to sec—but here's where the sad
part comes In. How heavy my heart
was as 1 trudged on our way to see
old Nick with Peg next to me, her
little hand holding tight on mine. And
when 1 thought of her Joy when she
should see Santa, I felt so old, so ex
perienced.

COLDS AFFECT
I THE KIDNEYS
Many Skagwny People nave Found
This to bo True
Are you 'wretched in bad weather?
Does every cold settle on your
kidneys?
Does your back ache and become
weak?
Are urinary passages Irregular
and distressing?
These symptoms are cause to sus
pect kidney weakness.
"Weakened kidneys need quick
help.
Doan'a Kidney Pills are especial
ly prepared for weakened kidneys.
Grateful people recommend them.
J. L. Messersmlth, blacksmith, 700
E. Webb St., Pendleton, Oregon,
says: "Doan'a Kidney Pills are my
old standby. Whenever I caught a
cold In my kidneys it caused my
back to ache and I suffered with
kidney complaint. At times when
I stooped over, sharp pains caught
me in the small of my uack and I
had to raise up slowly. My kidneys
acted too frequently, causing me to
get up many times during the night.
Doan'a Kidney Pills quickly banish
ed the backache and put my kidneys
In good condition. I still keep
Doan'a on hand to use In case of
necessity."
