perfectly, it was found that five had gained a prize, a good book each,
two of them being Indian children, and the others white children.

The gifts from the tree were then distributed. None of the children were
omitted; some went home so loaded that they could hardly carry all, and
even many of the oldest, decrepit Indians who could not be present, were
not forgotten.

A violin and organ solo by the school teacher and his wife called the
audience again to order, and an exhibition followed with a small magic
lantern and about eighty pictures, Bible, temperance and comic. This I
have used in my tours with the Indians, and it is always acceptable. The
remark was made more than once, "How well the children performed their
parts."
