High ten was provided by the ladies-of tho congregation. The arrangements were principally in tho hands of Mesdanies M'Callum and Ferguson, and Misses Makem, Code, and Rumble. Tho Rev. \Y. S. Rollings took a keen interest in the proposal from its inception, and his onthusiasm, with tho help obtained by him l'lum several friends in the city, enabled the Indies to make a complete success of the undertaking. After tea the room was cleared, and a capital programme of games arranged and carried out by the Misses Dalton and Mr. Arthur Dalton, assisted by a number of visiting friends, provided enjoyment for all. During tho tea, a Christmas cake was cut by a sailor who on four occasions was on a ship that had been torpedoed. (Almost every sailor present had gone through tho ordeal once, and some twice or three times.) A eecond cake was cut by one oi the French sailors. Before the conclusion of the proceedings a short Gospel address suitable to tho birthday being celebrated was given by tho Rev. Mr. Rollings. Mr. Rollings stated that "this was tho second Christmas tea provided there, and.it was proposed to make it an annual function.
