The Christmas deluge of packages, post cards and mail matter oiPall sorts started in at the local post office on Saturday with a rush and for the next few days the employes will be kept hustling all the time. The heavy run of Christmas mail has commenced much earlier than usual this year, On Saturday, with Christmas still four days away, over 100 sacks of mail were sent out. On Sunday there were also heavy outgoing malls and on two mails about 50 sacks were recelved. The three substitute carriers start- ed in on Saturday to help out the reg- ulars during the hollday rush and wi continue until the amount of mai drops once more te normal. This morning the three substitutes will re- lieve the other carriers of the larger packages, which they will deliver by express team, The packages are of such a size and quantity that it woyld be imposgible for the carriers to de- liver them without such an arrange- ment. The employes at the office were kept busy up to g late hour Sunday night sorting ‘out the mail already re- ceived for delivery today. While the holiday rush is on every available inch of floor space as well as the various racks holds a gquan- tity of mail. Three bins have been constructed temporarily to hold the packages and the postmaster's office on- Synday contained many packages. Here the special carriers who are to be in charge of the team delivery today were busy arranging the pack- ages in the order of the streets on which they must be delivered. The smaller packages are tied up in bun- dles aceording to the locality ‘In which they are to be delivered. Postmaster Caruthers eproposes to keep the work caught up each day, t avoid the confusion and delays wh!ch would result if the matter was ale lowed to accumulate as it does In some offices. On Christmas afternoon, sald the postmaster, there will be hardly a package in the place. FOURTH SUNDAY IN ADVENT. Rev, Themas A. Grumbley Preaches in 8¢, ick’s Church en Christian vs. Pagan Ideals, Yesterday was the last Sunday in Advent, the four weeks preceding Christmas, symbolical of the four thou- sand years preceding the coming of the Messiah, At the high mass in 8t. Patrick’s church Rev. Thomas A, Grumbly took his theme from the gos- pel for the day, Luke III, 1.6, John's preaching the nece ; of the baptism of penance for e:mission of sin. | In marked contrast he outlineq the ideals of the world before the coming | of Christ and the ideals of the Cath- olic church which make plain how the Savlor is to be received only through penance for sin. The world with its ideals of greed, intemperance, lust, cannot understand the -advent of a Savior any more clearly than did many in olden times. | The preacher pointed out the requi- sites of faith, humlility, forgiveness, repentance, imitation of ang love for Chrmist, that each heart may be- come another Bethlehem, to receive Him on Christmas morning. Following the mass benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was given by Rev. William F. Cavanaugh, assisted by the rector, Rev. J. H. Broderick, taking the place of vespers., OUR STORE IS OPEN THIS EVENING AND EVERY EVENING UNTIL CHRISTMAS. FOR COMFORTABLE SHOPPING WE RECOM- MEND THE MORNING -HOURS. AUTOMOBILE SKIDDED.
