throng OF parishoners, who had sailed forth from
their abodes at the first Ginning OF the bells to Gel
ebrate anew the glorious festival OF Christmas
The German hearts Of the multitude seemed TO be
as much aglow az the stately church ITSELF which
shone like a temple OF fire. The hign altar was
abaze with hundreds OF gas Jets and candles
nickering among boughs OF evergreens and ex.
quislte flowers, and shedding rays OF new beauty
upon the glttering banners and pictures along the
walls On one OF the banners were emblazoned
the Papal coat-of-arms and the remarkable words
OF Christ to the Prince OF the Apostles-"Thou art
Peter, and on this rock Will build my Churchn
On the gospel side OF the sanctuary was erected an
altar to the Blessed Virgin Mother OF Perpetual As

the epistle side the "criD OF Bethlehem was fitted
up with artIul simplicity. In the distance loomed
up the mansions or the luxurious city, richly por-
trayed on canvas. Close by stood the stable,
Joseph, Mary and the shepherds awe stricken
at the tremendous mystery. Above the stable
an angel 1oated IN the air bearing In his
hands scroll with the words '.Glory be to GOD In

Classical Music and Christmas Carols
Sermon by DIR. Samuel Cooke.
At st. Bartholomew's church. corner Of Madison
avenue and Forty-fourth street, the services yes
terday morning were OF an unusually varied and
impressive character. There was very large and
fashionable attendance, Including not only the
usual congregation worshipping in this church.
but many attracted there by the anticipation OF a
rich musical treat The handsome interior>o this
beautiful church edince required but little In the
way OF

and the result was that the latter were very SIM

eject. A few evergreen boughs and hollies grace
fully intertwined about the pulpit and altar COM

was
THE MUSIC,
and the programme-which, by the way, was
printed. thus enabling the audience to have more
intellgible comprehension OF its extent ana vari-
ety-presented miscellany ofchants, choruses and
solos from the most eminent classical composers.
Leading of the services was the professional "Thy
Seat, God,n composed, by Mr.. Walters specially
for this occasion. Then followed the anthem 20
Zion, by Buck; the "Glora," No. !, In T. by War
6ra Iae n No II py sae
van, by Buck; the psalm .Lit Up Thine Eyes"

the "Glorla nbi," by Hauck, and the hy mn "O'er
Bethehem's Hill" carol. There was then sung
a Christmas carol, OF which the following were the
opening verse and cnorus:-
Ger Bethphems hill the mystic star
Sheds softly forth its lambent light,
While waiting nations near and far,

o. THE SERMON.
After the singing or the above carol Rev. DR..
Samuel Cooke, the rector, preached brief but
appropriate discourse from the text Matthew, IL,
ll-"And when they were come into the house they
saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and
fen down and him. and when they
him gifts-gold and frankincense aud myrrh."
He began by drawing q contrast between the
unknown future OF ordinary infants. He then
described the wise men as the exponents OF all the
Seyond the humble birth Of Jesus MS great ds
tiny, kneeled Before HIM and presented to Him
prlncely gifts. Their presents were symbolcal IN
Of life and death. The advent Of Christ was the
Tnsa sbs Of onH
terest. The reverend speaker concluded by OBJ
serving that the wise men not only brought their
true Christianity, not only TO believe, but to act.
In heaven Christ will have something to say to
them lor their gifts to Him in Bethlehem.
CONCLUDING SERVICES.
Succeeding the sermon was an 01ertory, "The
People that Walked in Darkness" bass solo, and

the reverend speaker began that there Is time
for everything. The Hebrews had their great days
OF fasting and atonement and they also had their
days Tor festivals and merrymakings. There were
the leasts OF the Passover OF Pentecost and OF the
Tabernacle. Oi all the festivals the least OF the
Tabernacle was the most marked. by JOY ana
gladness. The burnt-offerings were more
numerous, the altar was decorated and the
songs were juDilant. The Christian has time for

GLAD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY"
PRAYER, Praise and Psalm in the Protestant
and Catholic Churches.
Charity and Christmas Cheer in the Private
Institutions Of the City.
Christmas and the Commissioners of
Charities.

When the late Mr.. Dickens closed his "Christ-
mas Caroln with the observation OF Tiny Tim,
..God bless usl every one,n he summarized
through .sTm," the universal feeling OF Christen-
dom at this season Of :he year. Everywhere
throughout this city yesterday, as VIII De seen by
the reports given below OF how the day was spent
there was a universal sentiment OF thankiulness
and the crowded churches testified that the people
were desirous OF acknowledging that the
source OF their contentment and JOY was
attributable TO Him OF whom "Tim's'
universal blessing was asked. Music, the
twin sister OF devotion, was, doubtless, the major
attraction, for there is not heart, however rude
or base but hath some slender string that yields
IN answering tone to song and praise. IN the
Catholic churches the choirs stole the listening
Rouls away, almost by their rendering OF rapturous
melodies; and IN the Protestant churches the
chant, the psalm, the anthem and carol were lifted
by the united voices OF choir and congregation in
loud acclaim to God. The lesson OF the day the
Christian Church thus celebrates, in special signin-
canoe, was taught and improved by priest and
pastor in tones Of eoquence, and in some instances
with solemn reminder OF the obligations to more
devoted spiritual life, which the recurrence Of
Christmas brings to sincere and heartfelt Christians
The poor, whom we have always with US, were
not forgotten this great anniversary day OF the
birth OF their Delverer. Charity with its organized
and bountiful hands, distributed to the adults and
the children OF the neglected and sorrowing
classes creature comforts in the shape OF solid and
t0othsome food and mental excitement in the form
OF games, toys and music So that, at least, one
day in the sad round OF the 365 might be remem.
bered as the silver lining in dark cloud OF
continuous trouble. There was notable
exception. Municipal REFORM that has brought
rs so many doubtful blessings, has also
given us q new set OF Commissioners whose duty
It is to care for the poor and those who are
condemned to imprisonment. time-honored
custom has included the destitute ana the degraded
as worthy OF being partakers in the general estivi
ties OF Christmas ana the celebrations OF the birth
day OF Him who came to seek and to save the lost.
Yesterday was selected as an appropriate time for
the manifestation OF economy, and SO the customary
''Christmas cheer' was cut on. The prisoners at
the penitentiaries and the various institutions
were forbidden to eat plum pudding, roast beef or
turkey, and to remember by their abstinence that
fhey had fallen on days when the redemption Of the
dollar was the only kind or redemption that was
worthy Of mortal's thought.

THE DAY AT THE CHARITABLE
INSTITUTIONS.
CATHOLIC Orphan Asylum.

The Christmas anniversary was made delightful
to more than 400 children at the Female Catholic
orphan Asylum, on Madison avenue, by the Sisters
OF Charity who have the institution In charge. At
an early hour long rows OF bright, happy faces
filed out OF the long dormitorIes, and, having ta-
ken breakfast, repaired to the chapel for attend
ance upon mass. The room, always pleasant TO
the eye, was made doubIy so by the wreaths OF
evergreen hanging against the walls, surmounting
the pictures OF our Saviour and the Blessed Virgin,
and cnshrouding beautiful representation OF the
stable in Bethlehem, which was placed beside the
altar, designed to Impress upon the minds OF the
little ones the higher idea OF the anniversary. The
