CUNY’S THEME History has its record of various leaders, whom men have been willing to foliow. to sacrifice even life for, through personal love, said Rev. Peter J. Cuny. preaching at the high mass in St. Patrick’s church Sunday. The one great and perfect leader of mankind is Christ; He has said, Take up your cross and follow Me, and those who truly love Him will obey His com- mand, letting nothing stand in the way of_their obedience. Men aeccept their crosges, know inat they must bear' them as they come: but the Saviour has given the explicit command. ‘Take up your eross—and Moon and_Tiden. follow Me.” That accepting this lead- - San T _#imh 1 Moon | ership means no hardship where there | Rises. | Sets. || Water.

Tt is impossible to love God, yet hate those Who are the image of God, the brothers of Christ. .The Saviour nas said, “By. this.shall men .know that you are My disciples—that you. love one another.” This is the season when the embodi- ment of God’s love for man is offered |- to the contemplation of Christians in the form of the tender Christ-Child.

Isaiah Gorton, Dr. and Mrs, Henry W. Hul- bert of Groton, Mrs. James Maher and Miss Hull.. 7 sang his anthem of praise of One Who should bring liberty and light to peo- ple in-darkness. The first Christmas sermon preached to the shepherds was & message of good cheer. The first Christmas anthem sung by the angels sounded the note of gladness. Christ- mas is meant to be a season of joy, of burden-lifting. st is'a burden- bearer for us. But does Christmas in modern times bring us lighter hearts or heavier? Has the Christmas season taken on such elaborate pro- portions with gifts and festivals that it has become a burden instead of a burden-lifter? ~ When, this season leads us to think more of what we shall receive than of good we can do it means a disappointment and 3 hevy heart instead of - joy. Mother, who toils thréugh the night to furnish her children as many and as rich gifts as_the neighbors’ children might receive turns Christmas into a burden. Though the wise men came with costly gifts, the shepherds also came, empty-handed, and had nothing to offer to the infant Clwist but the bended knee and loving heart. 1t we want to simplify the complexity of the modern Christmas let s = tum o works of charity and helpfulness. The best gift we can give is the kiss of love, and the richest offering we can lay at the feet of Christ is a humble and loyal heart. At the closing of West Town street school Friday, two very pleas- ing Christmas programmes were given when Grades 1, 2. 3 and 4 united, and GIVES APPROVAL TO WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION Nine workmen’s compensation agree- ments as follows have been approved by Commissioner J.

A very interesting sermon on God's Unspeakable Gift, was filv&n by the church pastor, Rey. ‘Willlam J. Craw- ford. - After speaking of Paul's recog- nition of the inadequacy of words to express the magnitude of God's gift to the world, Mr, Crawford recounted the motive and impelling force which caused this Gift. Man, created in the image of God, had been so married | by sin that nothing less than thé Sacrifice on Calvary could transform this imperfect image. God's love for the world was so great that there was no limit to the magnitude of the Gift which He would make to redem man. If we are ‘more like Christ than we! were & year ago, we may say.with ! | Paul “Thanks be to God for His Un- speakable Gift.” The church was artistically decorat- ed with red and green. Laurel and red berries were arranged effectively about the alter, also baskets of as- paragus fern. In front of the pulpit was an_immense wreath of lanrel with a red bell I the center. A large red bell hung from the chandeler and red bells were placed around the; organ. Sunday Evening Supper.
