The auditorium of the M. E. Charch was well filled on Monday afternoon when the Cradle Roll Department held their Christmas exercises. The after¬ noon was spent with muaic and recita¬ tions, after whigh refreshments were served by the Home Department in the Sanday School room, where they had tables set. The young members were presented with books, toys or gamea, candy and an orange.
Tuesday afternoon the Primary De¬ partment held their exercises in the same room. The attendance was small, owing to the stormy afternoon. The Primary scholars had their large Christmas tree all nicely trimmed. The exercises consisted of recitations and singing, followed by the distribu¬ tion of candy, books and an orange to each scholar. A feature of the after¬ noon was the decoration of a Christ maa tree, presented by Mrs. Nelson H.

THE "SPUG" MOVEMENT. The "Spug' movement is an echo of the day. Whilst publicly it puts an accent on tbe "a" for useless giving, is it not the first step towards the com¬ plete doing away with the gilt giving practice itself? We believe that the custom of giving is worthy of cherish¬ ing. The prosaic attitode of the world is faat trying to rid itself of the old Chriatian customs and it would give up the celebration itielf if that were pos¬ sible. Our crowded and divided civil¬ ization ia fatal to Christian instincts. Under the guise of utility the "Spug" movement is an opening wedge in the war apon Christmas. We might uae the hint about the uselessness of giv¬ ing stupid presents, but it would never do to try and stem the tide of love and affection which the Christmas giving cultivates.—Tablet.

I am not grateful enough for the priv ilege granted me of ministering for ao long to a responsive and sympathetic people, and in a community so inter¬ esting and stimulating as ia that of Brooklyn.
"I do not feel as if I were sundering all ties with you. My heart will al¬ ways be here, and it wiil be a joy to come back, from time to time, to wor¬ ship with you and to bring, if I may, aome helpful message which ahall bless him who brings and him who receives it. I shall try not to be idle. Mean¬ while, I am endeavoring to make real to my heart of hearts the sentiment which breathes through Newman's golden hymn: 'I do not ask to aee the distant acene ; One step's enoagh for me.' May God have us, both yoa and me, in Hia holy keeping.    Amen."

Girl's Strange Story
A young woman who said she was Mi«8 May Clark, 19 years old, of Free- port, L. I., wbo aince Tuesday had been stopping at the Broadway Central Hotel, was taken to Bellevue Hoapital late laat night for observation. She went to tbe home of her aunt, Mrs. Mary Hughes of 883 Columbus Ave¬ nue, last night, snd took the aunt to the hotel, where she insisted that Mortimer Webb, the son of the propri¬ etor, was her husband. The Webbs have a country home at Freeport, but Mr. Webb told Mrs. Hughes there was no reason at all to aay that he was married to tbe young woman. Mrs. Hughes decided her niece was suffer¬ ing from delusions and took her to the Mercer Street station, where, after the matter had been explained tu the pol¬ ice, she was removed to the hospital.
At the Broadwar, Central Hotel to¬ day it was aaid that Mr. Webb was not there, <ind nobody was authorized to speak for him.—Brooklyn Eagle.
In connection with tbe above item, we received, several days before the above waa issued, a letter, signed E. Clark, stating that ber sister, May Clark of Brooklyn, was marrted to William Kirscherer of New York, and was residing in Brooklyn, bat later would move te Freeport. The item being indefinite, we wrote to the per¬ son signing the commonication, and asked for detniled information, but re¬ ceived no further reply from them.
