SOUTH CHURCH.

At the South church the usual We'd
nesday evening meeting was varied to
a fitness for the time, in the singing of
Christmas hymns, and some very APP
prOpriate remarks by Rev. E. L. Fair
banks, pastor. He spoke specially of
the wonderful condition of the world at
the time of Christ's coming. 1t was a
period not only of outward peace over
the then known world, but of very
great material prosperity and mag
nificence of art. Never before or since
were there such collections of statuary
aud paintings, or such beauty of archi-
lecture as in Rome. Romans we're just
ly proud of their country. But amid
all, there was never before such inward
distrust and unrest of mind and heart
as at that time. Caesar spoke his in
fidelity in public, and was commended
by learned men for his skepticism as to
the belief in the gods. 1t was also a
time of gross superstition, as well as
disbelief in the old faiths. Only a few
Hebrew seers had spoken of the coming
Light and here and there faithful
soul looked for His coming.

NORTH CHURCH.

At the North Congregational church,
Col. Fairbanks, superintendent of the
Sunday School, had prepared Christ
mas service in which the school took a
prominent part. After an organ volun-
tary, the quartet choir sung very finely,
''Gloria in Excelsis." Prayer was then
offered by the pastor; afterwards re-
sponsive reading, led by tie superin-
tendent, the responses being read by
different classes or by the whole school.
This exercise was wholly passages of
scripture, foretelling and descriptive of
the coming of the Messiah. 1t was in
terspersed with the singing of appro-
pirate hymns by the school. After this,
there was an exercise by twelve little
girls, who came forward one by one
upon the platform, and uncOvering each
Il letter upon a large gilded star erected
in front of the pulpit, recited scripture
or poetry, or both, applicable to the
sentiment announced, each sentiment
having for its initial letter the one un-
covered. In this manner the words
were produced in large letters upon the
emblem: "JeSus our Star" This was
Il very interesting and pleasing exercise.
At its close the quartet chanted, "When,
marshaled on the nightly plain" Fol-
lowing this was a twenty minutes ad-
dress by the pastor, in which were given
in a plain and interesting way, some
thoughts about the childhood of Jesus,
including some very striking but I'M
natural traditions. The whole cOngre-
CATION then sung "All hail the power
of Jesus name" The superintendent
then caused to be distributed to each
scholar in the school, cornucopia of
candy and an orange, when most of the
children, with adults, repaired to the
basement rooms for half an hours social
intercourse. Thus passed Christmas
eve very pleasantly at the North church.
The rooms were beautifully trimmed
with evergreen, and choice flowers and
artistic designs adorned the pulpit,
while high above all were the words

The Universalist Sunday School gave
a concert on Christmas eve to full
house, consisting of music and recita-
tons. Two trees, and two lines entire
ly across the rear of the church, were
loaded with presents which made many
hearts glad. The concerts of this
school are always excellent, but this
surpassed any the writer has ever at
tended there before. The presents
were numerous, and some of them
costly; both trees were buried out OF
sight, and both lines strung full OF
them. All the recitations and the mu-
sic were specially appropriate. All
present seemed to enjoy the entertain
ment heartily.

bigness. The blood flowed freely and
he supposed that the main artery was
severed. He started for the house, con-
stantly crying for help, which the
neighbors heard and ent to his assist
ance. The wound was dressed, and he
is now doing well.

Christmas eve was celebrated at the

The school at the village has been in
trouble, and Tuesday morning the
teacher was expelled. We are surprised
that any Order-loving, law-abiding citi-
zens should take the course our pruden-
tial committee have. 1t has come to
that pass that young men, who are soon
to hold the reins of school discipline in
their own hands, rise in open rebellion
to the law of the teacher, to which he
must submit in order to please few in
the district or be expelled. The teacher,
Mr.. Perley johnson from st. Johns
bury, with excellent qualifications, not
being inclined to submit, took occasion
to exercise his authority by Furnishing
one of the little bOys-a lad of sixteen
whereupon the lads papa showed his
indignation by informing the teacher his
child would do precisely what the
teacher said he would not. This, of
course, was an incentive to the little
boys to rise up and forbid the teacher
exerting his power. But when it comes
to pass that disinterested persons (un-
less it be some sectional interest) as our
committee, should sanction such a
movement by expelling the teacher, we
think it high time our village stopped
to think.
