Leavens of fhis clty f-om his son, Dickson Hammond Leav- ens, who is at the Yale mission, Chang- sha, China. The telegram, dated Dec. 5, ‘reached here on the same day, owing to the fact that the other side of ths world is a day ahead in respect to time. It bore the words “Merry Christmas,” and so implies that all are safe and that there is qulet at “Yale- in-China,” in spite of the troubles that for ‘the past few months have been rife in and about Changsha. Mr. Leavens considered the mussage one of the most desirable Christmas re- membrances ha could possibly have received. ¥or two months or communication with Changsha had evidently been cut off, but ‘t now seems to have been re-established. so telegraph A LONG-DISTANCE GREETING.

Pro- AT POLI'S THEATER. Hello, Bill. The side-splitting farce comedy Hel- lo, Bill, holds the boards at Poli's this week. 4nd from the manner in which the crowded houses on Monday re- ceived It the house should be packed at every performance this week. It is certainly a funny show, with capable people whose work reaches a high mark. Several curtain calls were giv- en and not a few Christmas presents wel;e passed out to the members of the cast. Magnificent work is done by Rogers Parker as William Fuller. He fills to the limit the role of the fellow caught in bad company, who manu ctures excuses and situations lore until he is up to his ears in trouble. The trou- ble and the extrication keep the audi ence In continual laughter. J. Francis Kirk as General Fuller is fine and this, as his other occasional appear- arces in the cast, in something besides thinking parts, is greatly enjoyed. Vie- torfa Montgomery was clever as Isa- bella Dare, the woman who was great- ly mixed by the two generals, while Emma_Hayner, Fay Baker and Kath- erine Clinton add to the fun. Joseph McGinty enters the cast this week for the first time and his ap- pearance is welcomed. He possesses a voice which charms and his singing of the illustrated songs brings forth rounds of applause. Make Me Love You Tike T Never Toved Refore and Sunshine are his two songs this week. The motion pictures are also greatly enjoyed as given between the acts. Large Family Gathering. Mrs. Mary Dolbeare of West Thames street had a family gathering Christ- mas numbering 23 in all. There were present Mrs. Mary Dolbeare, Miss Mary Dolbeare, A. R. Dolbeare. Mrs. Mary Peckham, Miss Annfs Peckham, Mrs. Lydia Dolbears, Miss Bifza Dol- beare, Capt. Charles Bushnell, Mr. and Mrs. Elliott Dolbeare of LeMngwell, Miss Abble Woodworth, George Dol- beare, Mr. and Mrs. Chauncer R Woodworth, Mr. and Mrs. Martin F. Bent, Frank B.

In the city court on Monday morn- ing the case againet Andrew Kubat, who had trouble at the Falls Sunday members of the schol and | heipful and uplifting sermon by the rector, Rev. J. Eldred Brown, who sjoks’ from the text, John i:1f, The word was made flesh and dwelt umong The speaker Gwelt particulwrly npen the two main objections in the present age to the infer retation of Christ’s life. Ons is that it is his- torieul, fixing our thoughts on a perivd long past; the other that it Is con- crete and professes to fAind the eternal spirlt in a pariculur personage In answer to the first objection he said that If we carnot find any particular value io the present crises in life we are simpl; like cogs in a machine. il merging into an endless stream of 1T~ ceases, In answer 10 the secund objestion it was siuted that the only aliernatise to believing in the Christian fuith is believing In, an abstract God, mors necessity of thought, a shadowy, un- kuown force, What wins us in Jesus 18 that he insists that God is present in the hittle things and reveals himself in minute detalls. It fs of 1he nature of love to be infinitely minuie as well as scaring in its imagination. This Is the nature of God as revealed in Christ. It ‘s the story of Dethlchen and the manger, of the shepherds and the wise mien, of God's cmie of t sparrows and the lilies which comes close to human hearts and draws men to the loving father as seen i Jegus. | The sermon was followed by holy communion. 50c Christ Church. At the 14th verse of the first chap- ter of tho Gospel, ascording to St John, it is written, “And the word wa nade flesh and dwelt among us”| This was the text of Rev. T. k. Cal-| | vert of New York at Christ church, some of jts practical lessons. The firsc lesson, I think, is that we | are to be proud of our manhood. We are to have a high sense of self-re- | spect. The old Roman thanked God he was born a Roman, aund not a bar- barian. May not each one of us may with pride, I, t00, am a man? I, too, am an incarnation that is capable of uttering the life of God. And it is the | same truth that will give us a high respect for our fellow men. The Son of God has dwelt in the | flesh; henceforth the true measure of | what he is; not his social position, but his soul's worth. And there is a R lesson here for our ployed at the carpenter's bench. And this is what makes ail work dignified The root uf evil is ir the will. And just as Jesus wus born of our flesh and lived the pure life, so there Is no human body that is utterly and hope- lessly vile. He referred to wise men there shepherds. It is a day of gladness and good will. May God make you rich by giv-~ ing you pride In your humanity., May God make you rich by giving vou the peace of His Kingship. May God mak: You rich by giving you the grace ot | His salvation. And then there will be | | no fear of the joy. In the strong lan- | | Buage of the Orient, “He shall go forth | with joy, and be led forth with peace, | the mountains and the hills shall | break forth before you into singing, | and all the trees of the field shail clap | their hands.” |~ The church was attractively deco | ed with greens and Christmastide flow- ers. The special musical prog was sung by the vested direction of W. F. Habekotte in a par- ticularly pleasing manner, Charles D, Geer, baritone, assisting, his strong aud rich 'voice being heard at its best. St. Patrick’s Church.

Christmas day was ushered in at St Mary's church with 4 high mass at 5.30 o'clock, celebrated by Rev. Johr H. Fitzmaurice. The atiendance was exceedingly large. The altar was handsomely decorated | with_evergreen and holly, which with cut flowers and numerous lighted can- dles gave the same a jovful efect, in strange contrast to the sombreness of the advent season which closed Sun day.
