Christmas at the Churches.
ST. BERNARD's CHURCH.

ST BERNARD : CHURCH.
Christmas services were specially
observed at st. Bernard's church,
which was beautifully decorated for
the occasion. Each service of the day
was largely attended with devout wor-
shippers. High masses were celebrated
by the Rev Father Condor, assisted
by Father Coleman and Father Muir
ply at o'clock and and at 1890 O. clock
A. M. The Rev. Father Coleman
preached an appropriate sermon at the
half past ten O'Clock mass, which was
also well attended. Mozart's cele-
brated 'Twelfth Mass" was rendered
at both services, and St. Bernard's
choir showed itself equal to this ex-
ceedingly difficult task singing the
Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus and
Agnus Del with organ accompaniment.
The early service was opened by the
beautiful solo and chorus go Holy
Night, "by yDressler. The familiar Ades-
te .Fidelis," soprano solo and chorus
at both masses. "Veni Creator" tenor
solo, was rendered by A. J. Whiting at
the second high mass with feeling. A
feature of the musical programme was
an ave Maria," composed by the
director of the choir, Edw. j. Brandt,
for this occasion. This selection,
mixed quartette, was rendered in
secluded portion of the edifce without
accompaniment, the effect being ex-
ceedingly beautiful. At7:30 P. NJ. SER

"Magnifcat," go Salutaris," trio by
Stollwerck, and "Tantum Ergo" by
Mercandante, completed the elaborate
services for this joyful day.
ST. PAUL s CHURCH.
The Christmas services at st. Paul's
church were of highly interesting
character, and considering the weather
and prevailing sickness, were well at
tended. The church was beautifully
decorated, on somewha different lines
from the preceding years, but with ad-
mirable taste. The chancel was much
improved in beauty by a new white
dosel, surmounted by new dosel
cornice which was crowned with lights.
The two, which were gifts to the parish
by unknown donors, apart from the
work, cost about s25, and are perma-
nent adornments of the chancel.
The music at the main service, in
addition to the vested choir, was rem
dered by a quartette Miss Flora
Jewell, soprano; Mrs. H. I. Eberle,
alto; Edward L. Schempf, tenor, and
Prof. G. S. Hawley, basso-M Max Rohr
assisting in several solo parts. The
quartette, under the training and direc-
ton Of Prof. Hawley, besides the ordi-
nary hymns and canticles, sang with
admirable effect "Te Deum" in E
fiat major, by George Wm. Warren;
anthem, "Sing, O Heavens" by Glare

Realms of Glory" by George Wm.
Warren; the choral Communion SER
vice; the "Kyrie," by Elong; "Pre-
face'' and "Sanctus," by Camidge.
