Sunday School Notes.
The St. Helens Sunday School is
planning to fittingly commenerate
the birth of Christ by rendering a
suitable program. Most of the
evenings entertainment is being pre
pared by the primary department.
The committee on arrangement at
its first meeting decided to mater
ially reduce the usual expenditure
thus permitting a discntinuence of
the old custom of making a general
canvass for funds. Friends who
; are especially interested in the
pleasure of the children may send a
contribution direct to the Supt.
The school has enjoyed the best
' year of its history. The attendance
Sunday wa3 the highest since the
; close of the Red and Blue contest
last spring. The beginner's and
Primary departments are being es
pecially well cared for under the
direction of Miss Gertrude Weed.
The little folks now Pave their own
songs and exercises, and all are enthusiastic.

Joy Masaey
The next number of our
Peoples Lyceum Course is sched
uled for next Monday night. Miss
Joy Massey a graduate of the
Northwestern Uuiversity School
of Oratory is to give an evening:
of readings and impersonations.
Elocution is a fine art that is
only beginning: to be appreciated
by busy Americans. However it
is winntng its way very rapidly.
Our schools of oratory are now
crowded with young people who
who are devoting their lives to a
mastery of literature in order
that they may in turn interpret
it to those who cannot avail them
selves of the opportunity of
study. A good reader brings, at
once, enjoyment and instruction'
The master leads one through
the entire range of emotion as
he touches alternately on the
sublime and ridiculous, the pa
thetic and the laughable yet in it
all there is presented the best
thot and the highest ideals of
writers past and present.
Miss Massey comes recom
mended as a master of her art.
Prof. E. B. Walker, Supt. of
Schools, Puyallup, Wash, in writ
ing concerning her work says;
Joy L. Massey is a reader of
extraordinary ability. She is one
of the best entertainers in her
line of work to whom I have ever
listened.
No sermon by the most elo
quent divine appeals to the
hearer with so much force and
delight as her recitale of "The
Lost word," "The Sf John's
Fund" and "The Going of the
White Swan." 'The Abandoned
Elopment" and "Expelling the
Pikes" are selections sparkling
with wit and humor, and Miss
Massey's rendering of them will
keep an audieuce in continuous
laughter. Mis3 Massey's imper
sonations are remarkably good.
"If I were King" and "The
LaneThat Had No Turning" are
readings in which Miss Massey
proves herself possessed with an
unusual degree of dramatic povv-er.
As an accomplished and grace
ful reader Miss Massey has few
equals.
Season tickets on sale at Von
A. Gray's. Single admission at
the door 50 cents.
The contest for the Doll is still on
at White & White's. Genivieve'
Combs was in the lead Saturday
with Irma Gill of Deer Island, a
close second. Ada Cole and Freda
Croure were about even for third
place. There's apt to be a shifting

Several new names have been en
