About four o'clock the Smvrna Cor.

serenaded a number Of persons with

1t can hardly be said that Tennyson is
more earnest than Milton: certainly
ne is not a greater poet, and the fa-
nous stanzas in Memoriamn sink far
below the level of Milton's HYMN ON
Christ's Nativity" in point of art and
melody; but we must admit that Ten
nyson's Christmas bells ring with q
truer and more intelligent note. But
this only shows that Christmas comes
with fuller and clearer meaning as the
centuries 60 by. Milton can see little
but the forsaken temples of Peor and
Baalim;" he hears only "The Lars and
Lemures moan with midnight plaintu.
and the Egyptian gods are buried in
profOundest hell" Tennvson comas
much nearer the idea of Christmas in
those eight stanzas that ring outD the
actual evils of the world, and
Ring in the valiant man and free
The larger heart the kindlier hand;
hlng out the darkness of the land

REMARKABLE PREPARATORY WEATHER.
The Christmas Holiday for 1888 has
been remarkable for two things, the
extraordinary fine weather for the sew
eral days preceding the 25th, so impOr-
tant to purchaser aud seller, and that
there were virtually two Chri stmas
Eves-Saturday and Monday. ,5atur-
day, in addition to being the regular
purchasing day, was more so than
usual last week, coming as it did with
only one secular day between it and
Christmas, but it was nippng cold,
though bright and clear. A great
many goods passed over the counters,
and though IA great many people were
in town the department was of the best
kind, not man under the influence Of
liquor or noisy being seen on the

SUNDAY.
Sunday was so near to Christmas
| that at the Methodist Church the usual
| Christmas services were held in lieu of
| yesterday. The choir was enlarged
for the occasion, and in addition to the
hymus. gave four anthems, two in the
morning and two at night, selections
from Guonod and other fine composers
and rendered them very finely.
Rev VIM. S. Robinson preached two
Of his usually able and exhaustive dis
| courses. His theme was Christ and
his Mission to the world. He came
into the world to break the power of
sin and lead men from paganism and
its degrading rites and ceremonies to a
knowledge of the true God The
Christ took on our humanity, he bore
our griefs and sorrows, he taught the
doctrine of simple faith, that close com
municable faith where one trustfullv
relies on and draws his spiritual life
from the nearness of contact with the
other, and thus becomes imbued with
his presence.
He believed that the spirit of Christ
dominated the world more to-day than
at any other period since he walked ON
the earth. The world had been trvin0
to work itself up to Him by systems of
ialth and ceremonies: when men learn
that the power of Christ first comes
down from above into the heart. MAX
ing 1t fit for His abode and susceptible of
working his will in the Offices of faith
and love, then will His Kiugdom
nightly prevail on the earth.
At st. Peters p. E. Church. Rev !
w. Kerr, of Milford, preached mornino
and night. He held that the church
was the pillar and ground of the
ItuIh-all revelation is by authority of
God-and must be witness of
and expounder Of the law-the church
was the divinely appointed keeper and
interpreter Of the word having this di-
VINE commission; her interpretations
are final.
The Rev. Gentleman placed the
Episcopal Church on the middle ground |
OF authority away from the doctrines Of |
Fapal lnialllhility on the one hand and |
away from private Interpretation of |
scripture sncE as is claimed bv some If |
the sects on the other hand. concpd- /
ing the right Of private Interpretation
only when there is plain departure in
preaching and practice from the de-
crees OF the primitive universal conn.
els as Nice &c, and from the univer-
sally accepted standard of the Anoli.
can Church. He exhorted all fba
members Of the church to hold fast the
truth and the faith as committed to
them by Christ through his church
which is the pillar and ground of rbe
truth: Mr.. Kerr is the recopnizrd
apostle ofritualism IN this diocese. and
as between the above where the chan
