Services are held at the club house every Sunday as follows: Sunday school, from 3.15 to 4.15 p. m., and evening prayer and sermon from 4.30 to 5.30 p. m. The archdeacon. Rev. Mr. Duffleld of Hempstead, will con¬ duct the services next Sunday,
A Christmas service will be held next Satdrday, at 9,15 a. m., and will be conducted my Rev. Mr. Duffleld.
The boys class of the Sunday school taught by R. E. Hilton held a meet¬ ing Saturday evening, Dec. 11, and it was decided that the name of the class be changed from "Upstreamers" to that of "Loyal Sons." The follow¬ ing were elected offlcei"? for the year 1916: President, Henry Dlckron: vice-president, Frank Carpenter: sec¬ retary, R. E, HUtpn; treasurer. Stan¬ ley Swann. The naine chosen by the class ts a simple, strong, meaningful word, and emphaslies: Loyalty to Christ, loyalty to the Book, loyalty to the church, loyalty to the Sunday School, loyalty to the superintendent, loyalty to the class, loyalty to the teacher, loyalty to each other, loy¬ alty to "others," loyalty to self. "Thla above all, to thine own self be true, and It must follow as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man."
This elaes now has 15 members and it wlll hold a business and soelal meeting the flrst Saturday in each 'month, beginning at 8 p. m.
The larger girls of the Sunday sehooi meet at the club house Satur¬ day afternoons to play basketball, and the boya play every Saturday
evening. After tbe hoUdajrs we would be glad to get a few outside games (or both the girls and the boya witn teams whose members average be¬ tween fourteen aud sixteen yeara of age. For glrl8''games, write to Marie Dedek, manager, to to James Ames, captain, and for boys' games to R. E. Hilton, manager, or to Elmo Lloyd, captain.
We have just returned from an af¬ ternoon "coffee and talk fest" up to Bess Blinn's and she tells me you have not heard a word from Smith¬ ville South In three months. Well, we thought you must be lonesome without us and no Smithville South news in the weekly paper for, you know women cannot live on "adds" alone, so we concluded to make you Joyful by each of us writing some¬ thing each week.
To start, I missed you at the Thanksgiving exercises of the public school. How those children can sing, only the program was too short to suit me, for I am like Demi and Daisy Kittymouse. 1 demand more and more as a sacrifice from the teachers to our children.
I notice that the teacher who was Injured by an automobile is now at work again. I am glad of it, and I can't see why any automobile would want to hurt her.
So many families have moved to tlie city for the winter this year. Mr. and Mrs. John Dlnglemeyer have gone to Brooklyn to spend the winter months.
It is rumored that one of our most charming young ladies is engaged to be married I Just see to what use one can put a bicycle, while If he had to walk he might not call so frequently.
Mrs. William Frisch is up in the Jersey Hills gaining strength after a siege of grippe. I am glad to tell you she wlll be home in time for Christ¬ mas and greatly beneflted by her trip.
The Smithville Sohth stores have quite a Christmas display. Best go home and do your Christmas shopping early; you get so mixed up counting the different kinds of coupons and trading stamps.
Don't forget to be home for the Episcopal Sunday School Christmas tree to be held in the athletic club house soon. The children have all been requested to give a list of what they want and you may be sure that Santa Claus will have a jolly time bringing these gifts to l't children. Canon Duffleld wlll conduct the exer¬ cises, that means a good time for all. The Sunday school haa been present¬ ed with a library of juvenile books so each child may have the beneflt of good reading matter.
Much intereet in Sunday school work has been aroused by Mr. Smith of New York city, a lay reader, who has charge of the Sunday school, and the reading of the evening prayer Sunday afternoons.
The boys of Mr. Hilton's class have organized their class under the names of the Loyal Sons. They meet every Saturday evening and plav basketball, from 7 to 10 o'clock. Mr. Hilton also teachers the girl's basketball at the club house Saturday afternoons. He is truly the children's friend, and it seems too bad that some of the kind neighbors, if they cannot come to the games, do not give their aid by small donations to help along. So far the club rent has been met by Mr. Hilton personally, but it seems that we should all help. What we need Is some leaders for our young people and for those who are using their time and patience to help onr child¬ ren.
-Mr, and Mr,s, Emil Schneider and family have moved to Freeport. We are all sorry to see them leave us.
"Mr, Bob," a comedy in two acts, is to be presented under the auspices of the Woman's Guild of the Episco¬ pal Sunday school, the rehearsals for which are being directed by Mrs. Kraft.
