The Unitarian Sunday School celebrate
cd Christmas night in very happy man
ner at Harmony hall. The entertainment
opened with a series OF tableaux, panto-
mines, etc., which were successfully car
ried out and afforded much pleasure 10 the
audience of both old and young. The YER
liable and original Molher Goose was pres
ent and gave remarkably apt and lucid ex-
plantations OF the hidden meaning of many
of her familiar rhymes as they were in
turn repeated by the children, Little Jim
my" included. The panlomimes of Little
Bopeep and Mary's Little Lamb were very
pleasing, and the parts in that of the "Bach-
elor who lived by HIMSELF were exceed
ingIy well taken. Among the tableaux
that of Alteration" representing two an
gels bending over the Babe of Bethlehem,
and one showing the three Kings bringing
their gifts 10 the infant Jesus, we've es-
pecially admired. The scene representing
"evil spirits fighting over the dead body of
the Cardiff Giant, or what bad children see
in their Dreams" was entirely unique and
drought the house down." This part of
the entertainment closed with the introduce
ton of the sold Woman who lived in a
Shoe" in which scene Santa Claus first APP
peared 10 the old woman and her numer-
Gus children as Christmas beggar, but ii :
nally threw off his disguise and led the
way to the brilliantly decorated and illu-
minated Christmas tree, which bore an APP
propriate gilt for each member ofthe school.

and at seasonable hour both parents and
children retired 10 their hemes.

The Christmas season, with its nppro-
pirate religious services, gin giving aud So
cial festivities, has probably never before
been so generally observed in this COM
munlty as In that which is just now pass
ing. In all the churches the services on
Christmas Eve Sunday we're suiled TO the
Joyous character Of the day, the Sunday
schools have had their special festivals, and
in very many private houses there have
been happy family gatherings about the
time honored, but over fresh and beautiful
Christmas tree. Below VIC give series Of
notes upon the various public observances.

Religion and Culture.

Ii the friends of cul.u and those
of religion do not very well agree to-
gether, 1t is none the less true that
culture and religion deal with the
same things and have the same Obj
ject. Both are concerned with the
higher life of man, and with the
whole OF that higher life. Both have
the same adversary, though religion
calls it woridliness and culture calls
it Philistinism. in that predominance
of the lower life, which is fed by
"bread aione." and the object of
which is livelihood or respectability
or comfort. Ii they quarrel among
themselves, if culture is apt to think
religion narrow or superstitious, and
religion on the other hand charges
culture with epicurianism or want o t
seriousness, that is because both have
the associations of their history stick
ing to them; because religion when
it appears in the econcre,e Is Christian
aud ecclesiastical, that is, predopi-
nantly moral in its spirit and some
what archaic in form, while culture
sprang up among literary men in re-
cen: times, and is therefore spick-
and-sp,n in its equipment of phrases
and treats morality somewhat lightly
compared with science and art. Such
differences are merely historical. and
the friction Of time wears them away.
The spirit of religion grows larger
and recollects its original affinity
with beauty and scientific truth; the
spirit of culture grows every day
more moral since the time when its
great master Goethe betrayed the
weak ess of his original conception
in the helpless want of sympathy
with which he regarded the first po-
htical struggles of reciving Germany.

Carrier Pigeons ana Shipwreck.

An interesting lecture on the utili-
zstion ol the homing or carrier pigeon
was given at the biological Gardens,
Regents Park, recently by Mr.. Teg-
et,neier. After describing the origin
of the pigeon voyageurs, the methods
of training for the long eoneours or
races, the powers of flight, extending
To upwards of 500 miles a day, the
lecturer described the details Of the
pigeon post used during the siege ot
Paris, and stated that 1T the present
time every fortress and fortified town
in Germany was provided with flights
of trained pigeons by which comma
nications could he sent into the town
ii invested by a hostile force. He
then proceeded IN describe the latest
application for the homing faculty
of these bifds--nsmely, the establish
ment of communications from light
ships to the shore, so that by the use
of the maritime code of signals two
or three letters stamped on the wing
would convey the Intelligence that
assistance of any kind was desired,
and would provide means OF COM
munication when no other methnd
was available. The experiment is
being tried, in the firs, instance, al
Harwieh, and as soon as sutticieni
stock Of birds has been reared it is
proposed to keep relays on board the
adjacent lightships, so that in case of
second wreck like that of the
Deutschland, requests for assistance
could be Immediately conveyed to
the authorities at Harwich.
Mr.. T. De Witt Talmage says the
toughest thing he ever tried to do was
