Christmas 
Christmas comes but once a year, 
But when it comes it brings good cheer. 
This fragment of an old song is 
none the less true today. Christmas, 
which was nearly banished from the 
calendar of our Puritan fathers, has 
in these later years become a high 
holiday. Thanksgiving and New 
Year’s, which once overshadowed it, 
are still honored in the observance, 
but Christmas is par eminence the 
children’s day. 
A decree, mightier than that of 
Czesar Augustus, has gone forth that 
all the world on that day shall be 
taxed for the little ones. It is fitting 
that the advent of the Christ-child 
should be commemorated. The star 
which drew the gaze of the wise men, 
the shepherd folk, and the multitude 
of the heavenly host, has no more 
eager watchers than the children. It 
stands above every cradle as it once 
stood over the manger. 
Other holidays require but little 
preparation for their enjoyment. Not 
so Christmas. This kind goeth not 
out but by thinking and dreaming and 
working. For weeks and months 
little fingers and older hands and 
heads are busied in fashioning sweet 
surprises. For a whole year, artist 
and artisan have been working at toy 
and trinket, at book and picture, and 
whatever may minister to delight and 
comfort. Only curmudgeons with 
hearts frostier than December air 
are insensible to. the warm and kindly 
influences of Christmas-tide. 
Let us use and enjoy the season as 
Christ who gave it would have us. 
Let us make our gifts not costly but 
numerous, remembering especially the 
little ones and the poor. Remember, 
too, that as we feel towards our chil- 
dren, so in a larger measure the in- 
finite Father feels towards us all. 
Lf ye then being evil, know how to 
give good gifts unto your children, 
how much more shall your Heavenly 
father give good things to them that 
ask Him.

ANNUAL MEETING 
(Continued from first page, third column) 
many years of faithful service. This 
same committee will draw up resolu- 
tions on the death of the late Dea. 
A. E- Low. 
The pastor, Rev. C. Arthur Lincoln 
presided, and after the roll was read 
by the clerk, and prayer was offered, 
Mr. Allen presented his report. He 
reported that the present membership 
of the church was 179, ten having 
been added during the year, and four 
being lost, — three by death and one 
by letter. The deaths were: Deacon 
Albert E. Low, Mrs. Mary Ann Gil- 
man and Edgar W. Knowlton. 
The officers elected were: Albert 
Cunningham, clerk; Geo. W. Jewett, 
treas.; O. T. Roberts, deacon for five 
years ; A. L. Saben, supt.S. S.; John 
C. Wiles, asst.-supt.; Howard M. 
Stanley, sec’y. and treas., and Miss 
Eliza G. Goldsmith, junior supt.; 
Mrs. Anna _ Phillips, Mrs. Susan 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Knight and Mrs. Eliza Leach, mis- 
sionary committee; Mrs. J. F. Ra- 
bardy, Mrs. Chas. R. Peart, Mrs. 
Emma Stanley, Mrs. Geo. W. Jewett, 
Miss Abbie Larcom and Mrs. Hattie 
B. Kitfield, deaconesses ; Miss Grace 
M. Prest representing the Y.P.S.C.E., 
and Mrs. Emma Stanley and Mrs. 
H. B. Kitfield the deaconesses’ stand- 
ing committee. 
The various reports were presented, 
either verbally or written, by the dif- 
ferent officers. The reports of the 
missionary society and Home Mis- 
sions, read by Mrs. Chas. R. Peart 
and Mrs. Anna A. Phillips, respect- 
ively, showed this branch of the work 
in good order. Mrs. Emma Stanley 
reported $179 in the treasury of the 
Ladies’ Social circle, and that the 
membership was 88. 
The thanks of the church was ex- 
tended to the parish committee for 
their work in bringing about the im- 
provements in the church and chapel ; 
a vote of thanks was also extended 
13 
the social circle for installing electric 
lights in the chapel. 
Mr. Cunningham thanked the 
church for the confidence expressed in 
him in electing him clerk to succeed 
one who had served so many years. 
A motion for a rising vote as an €x- 
pression of the faithful service of the 
retiring clerk was made, but Mr. 
Lincoln took the floor and said he 
felt more thana rising vote was due 
Mr. Allen for serving the church 38 
years, during which time he had at- 
tended all but two of the annual meet- 
ings. He moved that a committee be 
appointed to draw up resolutions as 
referred to above, and it was fitting 
that similar action be taken in regard 
to the late Deacon Low, he said. 
Mr. Allen spoke briefly in reply to 
the action taken,, saying that he had 
thought for some time how general it 
was for the elder people to withdraw 
and leave the work for the younger 
members. He had faltered considera- 
bly in the last six months and he felt 
and
