There were very few absentees from the gathering of the Sunday School children on Boxing Day at 5 p.m. The large schoolroom was tightly filled with the children and teachers and a few friends. Before the prizes were distributed, the infants gave several recitations, notably that concerning the death of Cock Robin, which gave great satisfaction to the audience.

The girls also sang, but the boys reserved their voices for the general harmony of the evening which was of the heartiest and loudest description imaginable. The prizes were distributed by two young people and, in most cases were the highly merited reward of excellent attendance during the year. The Magic Lantern exhibited by the Vicar, was as usual highly appreciated by the little folk, and, together with the buns, sweets and oranges, exactly suited their tastes. Altogether it was a most successful evening, and we trust it will conduce to the success of the Sunday School during the coming year.
