GRANT Uldu'taker and Embalmer 32 Providence St., Taftville Prompt attention to day or night calls, The Joy of mmnam‘swmu Reflected At Park church the Christmas mulle was especially fine. The selections chosen were very attractive in them- selves and were given in a thoroughly artlstic manner which enhanced thei: beauties. The .solo parts were finely rendered and the organist's part exe- cuted skilfully, A ‘cello obligato added to the offertory solo for the alto. There were large audiences to appreciate It at both services. The Groups Around the Manger. In the morning Rev. Dr. Howe's ser- mon, from I Corinthians, 4:9, “For we are made a spectacle to the angels,” was upon the representative groups around the manger. The first group he called the prophetic one. Abraham, David and all the other prophets were mayhap gathered there. And Simeon voiced _ spirits of the older cen- turies. second group—or rather the setting—was representative of em- pire. Even Augustus Caesar set the stage by his decree, and even Rome had to_take notice. Then there wers the parents to represent the home and parenthood in all ages. The angel group, too, were there to proclaim a glory greater than that of creation— than were rphysical glory. Othe groups represented human interests— the shepherds represented the world's toilers, and the stately wise men, the rich and cultured. Born in a manger, he understands all poverty and car make the plain man wise. And he can draw all the greatest intellects to him, as he has done for 2,000 years. All these groups came and worshipped Him—not_his mother, but the Babe himself. Then there was a group out- side that would not worship—an angry, jealous group, headed by a wicked king at Jerusalem representative of all those who reject him. And we may jmagine other groups—artists and historians, children and worshippers everywhere At Broadway Church. At Broadway Congregational church Rev. Edward S. Worcester's morning sermon was on the subject God Visible in Christ, from the text, John 1: 18: “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotton Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.” Disbelief in the Incarnation is often due to exaggerated statements of what it involves and of the contrasts be- tween divine and human nature, Hu- man nature cannot, it is true, express the measure of divinity, but it (and it | alone in our world) can glve interpre- tation to its characteristic qualities, such as truth, honor, wisdom, kindness and compassion. The Christian faith is not that God was changed into a man in Jesus, ceasing to be the in- finite God, but that he dwelt in him, and that so much of the divine as could be set forth in the most perfect hu- man spirit was manifested there. The Source of Christmas Joy. “Thou canst not see my face” the Lord said to Moses, “for man shall not see my face and live” The blazing splendor is too bright for human S, the wealth and wonder of the math- less holiness, the self-sacrificing pas- i sion, the eternal plan, would set our poor brains reeling. = No man hath seen all this at any time, or can see. It must be brought to our understand- ing in terms not unlike the divine, but nearer to us—somewhat as a power- ful electric current is stepped down in a transformer to the capacity of the lamp or motor which it would otherwise destroy. That God should thus declare himself is not unthink- able. That he did thus declare himself is the source of the Christmas joy. Second Congregational Church. In concluding a series of four ser- mons on World Needs Met in Jesus, Rev. Herbert J. Wyckoff brought a helpful message of Christmas inspira- tion and cheer to a large congregation at the Second Congregational church on Sunday morning. The church was beautiful with seasonal decoratiohs. Treating of the subject Discord, and taking his text from Isaiah 9: 6, “And His name shall be called Prince of Pease,” Rev. Mr. Wyckoft said: »nditions in the world are not and never have been harmonious. Discord has always sopiled earth’s imitation of heaven's music, whether voiced in the snarling of the jungle, where the strong prey upon the weak, or in the communities of men, where the dom- y man for him- This is what makes the dis- ifnant law is still “eve: self.” Tooth Affinities The enamel of the teeth and the acids in the mouth have a strong attraction for each other. These mouth-acids seek out weak spots in the enamel —and by constant action finally pierce this ‘‘armor plate” of protection and readily get into the “inside-tooth.” This is the cause of g5% of all tooth-decay. But there 7s an “acid-mouth-denti- frice’:— Pebeco Tooth Paste It overcomes ‘“acid mouth.” Keeps teeth free from the sly attacks of mouth-acids. This is the big idea behind Pebeco Tooth Paste.

Not a harmony with | any personal opinion or preference, but | such harmony with God’s will and way for the whole world that earth’s dis- cord shall be turned to concord through the fuldlmeni of the mission of him| Who comes as the Prince.of Peace. Following the evening worship a large audience enjoyed the Christmas stock.

Much gas may be saved with a little In the confusion of an endless mul- tipleity of tokens, we sometimes hear the inquiry: “What is the best gift?” | As though there could be any one best thing in the world, full of exquisite remembrances. But evidently there are preferences. Some would emphasize the costliness of the gift; some the intrinsic value; some the pleasure that it is capable of conveying to the recipient. Shock Brought Back Speech. Sarah Alice Stevenson of Padiham, Lancashire, England, recovered her speech recently in a remarkable man- ner. While engaged in household du- tles her clothing caught fire and in her terror the young woman screamed aloud. The flames were immediately Jesus Is for All | extinguished, and, to her joy, Miss Taking our hint from this last, are | Stevenson found that she had re- we not ready to admit that Jesus is covered her power of speech, which the best gift because He is for all, | ghe had lost six years ago. the rich and the poor; the old and the | young, the sick and the sorrowing, the tired and the tempted? Even the people who have not yet accepted Him are daily and hourly receiving the benefits of His blessings. People can | refuse to admit Christ into their creeds but they cannot keep Him out of their atmosphere. One of the most pathetic things in all history is the Jews' rejection of Jesus. No people in the world have received more benefits from Christian- | ity than have the Hebrews. The Christ of nineteen centuries ago is still blessing the world, and it is a marvellous tribute to Him that at this season of the year there is uni- versal recognition of Him and His spirit. Origin of Cards. The use of cards is said to have been derived from the Turot cards, which were originally used for occult purposes. In 1912 Palermo, Ttaly, sent 41,196 emigrants to the United States on 173 steamers. Our Greatest Word. Jesus is the best gift because He appeals to the best that is in life. He has introduced into our vocabulary its Wherever He s | power that greatest word—love. received He carries a transforms character. “Thanks be unto God for this un- speakable glft.” First Baptist Church. The regular Christmas service was | held at the First Baptist church Sun- | day. The church was decorated with Christmas greens. Special music was | sung at both morning and evening ser- vices by the choir, Mrs. Louls Wheeler, Mrs. Herbert Willey, Stephen Peckham and Willlam Case. The pastor, Rev. George H. Strouse, preached strang, helpful Christmas sermons, taking for his morning theme The First Christmas Tree. One day | teacher and scholar went out walking. | As the sun was sinking in all its beau- ty and glory behind the western hills, the “There’s | a scene; paint it” The scholar re plied affer a moment's pause: “I can't paint glory.” Finite tongue or pen can | uever describe the wondrous glory and significance of Jesus' birth. Jesus Belongs to the World. We never tire visiting Bethlehem. Jesus was born _there. Bethlehem doesn’t belong to Palestine, it is th- religious pole of the universe. No na | tion can localize Jesus. He belongs t the world. Italy remembers Garivaldi | with pleasure, but only Italy. Germany | delights in Bismarck, but not France. | France remembers Napoleon, but Eng- | land_despises him. We love to think | of Washington, but England doesn't | celebrate Washington's birthday. Jesus | @ is the one of all the ages who makes | it possible for every nation to realize its fondest hope and its most cherished | {4 ideals. Three Great Gifts. ‘When Jesus came to earth three great gifts for all the world were seen | hanging on that first Christmas tree: I—A new conceptign of God.

He was an optimist because he was con- stantly thinking of God. III—A new inspiration. How sadly | the world needed an inspiration. Mer | were asking: “Is life worth while?’ “Does this life end all?’ Jesus an- swers these questions and we enter the contest with new life, determined to live the noblest and best and Wwia heaven at last. { Church of the oGod Shepherd. t B Rev. Joseph F. Cobb, at_the Church of the Good Shepherd, Universalist, | took for his Christmas subject The | Transforming Gift, on Sunday morn- | ing. The text was II Cor. 9:15 “Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.” The gift that is transforming the world is this unspeakable gift of Jesus Christ, whose name we hallow; and year after year with joy weicome the anniversary of his birth. Certainly thanks should be given for the gift which has means so much to the world and which today means so much. We would thank God for His gift which is 80 great that no human words can adequately express the gratitude due | f§ Him. Four Important Statements.
