A Children's Eveut..

This evening, has been chosen for the combined Carol Service and Nativity Pageant, another aauual event at St. Andrew's. A very pleasing feature of this service is the presenting of seasonable, gifts by the children of the parish. These presents are in turn handed to the inmates of the Victoria Home and Orphanage. This service is sentially a children's festival, but everyone, particularly parents, are invited to attend. The service com- (mences at six o'clock,

A door to door rylleation will be made from people living in the European residential districts, and it is hoped that the generous support given to the choir in this way last year will be re- peated, or even, bettered, during his senson. The proceeds of the collection go to St. Dunstans Home, and it is gratifying to note that last year the sum of three hundred nud ninety-two dollars"was handed to the home as a result of the entor- prise.

Christmas Day,

Three services are to be held at St. Andrew's Church of Christinas Day. The warly servico at 7.15 a.m., Another at 8.15 a.m. (Holy .Com- munion Services) and at 11 o'clock,

In arranging these various events and services for the parishonora, the church body and workers are putting in an amount of extra work, and it is hoped therefore that.i their efforts will be rewarded by a good response and well merited sup port.
