There was a_good. attendance at all the sefvices. Practically all the rectors used the war as a back- ground, presentin~ the oldest story in a new light. Trinity Episcopal Church. At the Trinity Episcopal church on Christmas morning ' Rev. J. Bidred Brown preached a Christmas sermon, taking as his text, God so loved the world that He. gave'His only begotten Son' that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlast- ing life. (St. John 3:16). He spoke as follow: There is doubtless a feeling among us all today that we cannot enter into the 'spirit of Christmas as we do or- dinarily. This year we cannot but think of the depression and suffering of a large part of the world. For, when we stop to:think of it, we reai- ize that those previous customs of ours if not wholly selfish in the past would -at least be selfish under pres- ent conditions. - But after all this de pression is a good augury for the fu- ture and an encouraging sign of our spiritual condition. If our humane sentiments ana our love of justice ang fair play had net been growing and developing we should simpiy not Tow the miseries of our fellows to dis- tress . Now, great as God's love for the worla must have been to induce Him to malke this-unique sacrifice. for the gift involved all the sufferings and death.of Christ, yet that love was no ndulgent love, no mere matter of sen- timent. No, it was a righteous, a strong, a remeeding love. God knows that there is no real and enduring happiness except through righteous- ness and God knows that He made man’'s happiness conditioral upon his righteousness. -God does indeed -love ¥iis_children as a_l'ather. All that the Christian ages have been able to accomplish .for the up- lift of the world the peaceful ideals, the sense of brotherhood, the minis- tries of mercy, the development of the humane sentiments. .the spirit of trust and good will and the recogni- tion of the rights of others, both as nations .and as individuals are threat- enea by this war. As vet we have not begun to realize the sacrifices it will demand. In so doing we shal not only be freely giving what we have freely received, but we shall be iliustrating the Christian spirit which is the giving of oneself for the -re- demption and the salvation of others. At Christ Church. Tuesday morning at Christ Episco- pal church the rector, Rev. Richard R. Graham, preached a Christmas ser- mon, taking as his text Except ye be- come as little children ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matt. 18: If when we are calling on men to fisht in what we believe is the cause of righteousness, the familiar Christ- mas message of peace and zood will to men _seems inappropriate, whas shall be the message this holy sea- son brings to.our hearts? In a world where sorrow and suffer- ing are so dominant, where the sad- ness of life always present is forced upon bur attention as never before the idea of Christmas mirth.and jollity cannot be prominerit. ~Ougiit the mes- sage of the church td Christian men today be therefore one of cadness? I think our instincts say, No. We don’t want to shut our eyes and ears to the grim facts of life; it would not be right, even if it were possible, for us to opserve this Christmas- in an altogether carefree way, as thoush everything waes all richt with- the world, but at the srme time we feel that Christmas chould brinz us some message of cheer, and that that word of cheer should of a very human intimate chzracter. This is Christ- mas. and neither the gloom of Good Friday, nor the exultant triumph of Faster seems quite to meet the wants of our hearts. We want that many: of the tional ceremonies connected with our observance of Christfias ars pagan ir their erigin, and we have felt that there is a fitness in this for it is sym— bolic of what the coming of-the Christ was to do for all life, namely. take the common things of ordimary life and baptize them with His spirit, so that henceforth they should speak to us of the love and tenderuness of our Father in heaven. But is it not true that these Christ- mas observances were tendinz to lapse back into their original pagenism, and Christmas was in danger of becoming a purely secular festival in which. the religious_significance which gave birth to its observance was _overlooked, not_entirely lost? . Should not then the message of the church to us today be to make our cbservance of Christmas more relig-, fous than it has been .ifi the past? that it should be associated in_ our minds not with Santa Claus, but with Jesus the Christ: not with a semi- mythical, fantastic being, the embod- iment of jolly, careless good nature: but with One who actually walked this'world of ours, and became known as The Man of Sorrows, because He was acquainted with the grief that is so_inseparable from the life of man? mean then that religious feelings -are’ necessarily sad, and that mirth has something uncliristian -in #t?r Assurealy not. The religion of the Incarnation, of which Christmas is the festival,. has a meaning for. all ife, and while there is undoubtedly much of sadness in life, yet there is a place for joy; and even for mirth. It is hard for us tg shake off en- tirely the effects of t Puritanism which exercised such a strong in- fluence on religious - thought, and which is by no means without its in- fluence still, even among us who never accepted its teaching in its fulness, and now repudiate its conceptions of life. “Merry ' Christmas” . idea sross lrvm:i\ and tv;hero S most firm- v believ e religious messa of_Christmas. = The Crucifix which in a most ghastly and realistic way. told of the great t:na’sa?y ofmllfe did not prevent = joying the comedy, nay whe farce of the miracle play. 7 ¥ A merry Christmas is only possible for children, or it may be for a child- like age.

Following the mass, Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. was given _ by Father Cuny and at this time Mis Isabel Petroni, soprano, sang O.‘Salu~ taris Hostia in a voice sweet and clear. The offertory ~was Adeste Fi- deles, the chruch majestic Christ- mas hymn for centuries. ’ Because of the lenggh of the da services, oderick, who vreached at this mas did not speak from the pulpit as ordinarily, but ad- dresryd the congregation briefly from within the sanctuary railing. He read the gospels for the three masses of Christmas day, Luke ii 1-14, Luke ii, 15-20 and John I 1-15 preaching en the Angels” Message, at the Nafivity, peace on earth to men of good will. Christ was born in the humble sta- ble of Bethlehem, assumed man's na- ture, to impland in human souls .2 three-fold peace:—with God, = with neighbor, ‘with self.

The first mass- of the day was a high mass at 5.30. which was offered by Rev. W. H. Kennedy, following which he offered.a mass in private and a low, mass at 7.30. The chiidren’s mass at 9 o'clock offered by the rector, Rev. J. H.

The theme of the priests was the goodness of God who, not being cone tent with creating the world and man, sent His ‘only “begotten Son into the’| world to atoné for the fall of man and regain for him His heritage in’ heaven. The Crib of Bethiehem at the Epistle side of the altar attracted much attention and it will ‘remain in place until Epiphany, Jan. 6.
