CHRISTMAS EVE AT ST PAuL's CHURCH

CHRISTMAS EVE AT ST PAUL'S CHURCH.
 The Christmas eve service and child ren's festival at St Paul's passed off very pleasantly Saturday evening week. Not withstanding the extreme cold without, the church was agloW with warmth and was well filled. The musical program was elaborate, thoroughly prepared by the choir and was finely rendered. Ser vice opened at 1.30, with processional march, after which evening prayer was said, intersperSed with carols, and an ad- dress followed by +. F. Johnson. The gifts were distributed from large tree standing in one corner of the chancel. A gold medal was offered at Easter, to be awarded at Christmas time to thaG mem- Der of the Sunday school who should be most regular in attendance during the year. The record showed that Annie Brownson, Jennie Edwards and Edwin Wheeler had each been in attendance ev- cry Sunday on which the school was in session. The value of the medal was therefore divided among these three and a handsome Oxford Bible was given to each. An especially interesting feature of the Christmas eve service was the pre- sentation to the church of beautiful memorial cross of heavy brass, highly polished and elegant in design and fin ish. The cross was made from special design by k. Geissler, New York, and stands p inches high upon a triple base which bears the Inscription: "To the glory of God and in memory of one gone to her rest" Upon the reverse base is inscribed: "St Paul's church, Hunting ton, Connecticut, Christmas, 1892" The donor is unknown to all except Mr John son, through whom the memorial is pre- sented to the church. Tue church has been tastily trimmed with pine and laur- el, a different plan being adopted from that of past years, and the effect is very pleasing.

A PRACTICAL SERMON.

THE SPIRIT OF UNSELFISHNESS.
 One of the earliest lessons in training children to be unselfiSh is to teach them to rejoice in the happiness of others. It is a natural impulse when some rare pleasure is offered to one child in the family for those who cannot share the enjoyment to be trif1e envious. If the sister is singled out to take delightful journey the brother grumbles because he is not included in the invitation. If a favorite uncle makes Jack present of bicycle, Mary pouts because no gift is bestowed upon her. All such cases offer an opportunity for parents to develop in the children that highest form of unsel- fishness which finds it's joy in the hap piness of others. Few adults, however, possess this grace in it's fullness. They are far readier to weep with those who weep than to rejoice with those who rejoice. But nothing wins friends more easily than the habit of entering hea rtily V into the plans of others and eXpressin 2 pleasure at their success or good fortune. " our letter this morning. writes one who has always cultivated this gift of loving kindness, "brought great hap piness into my day because of the pleas ure in store for you which is chronicled.' .'' Were this spirit more prevalent how much sunshine would be added to our lives. - Selected.

GEMS OF THOUGHT,

o come, let us worship and bow down.
 Daily ought we to renew our purposes, and to stir up ourselves to greater fer vor, and to say, "Help me, my God, in this my good purpose, in Thy holy ser vice, and grant that I may now this day begin perfectly. .'- Thomas A. Kempis.
 We are not to be glad in sin, or to find comfort in corn and wine and oil; but in our God is to be the garden of our souls delight. That there is God, and such d God, and that He is ours, ours forever. our Father and reconciled Lord, is mat ter enough for a never-ending psalm of rapturous joy.-[C. H. Sturgeon. Religion is necessary and indispe nsa- ble element in any great human charac. ter. There is no living without it. Re- ligion is the tie that connects man with his Creator and him to His throne. If that tie be all sundered, all broken, he floats away, worthless atom in the uni verse, it's proper attractions all gone, it's destiny thwarted, and it's whole future nothing but darkness, desolation and death.-[ Webster.
 The way to make man right is to make his heart right.
 If there is good in us. it will be sure to inspire good in others. II soue people ne yer naQ any teeth they would live longer.
 The man who is looking for faults in others will be kept busy.
 Whoever willfully dsturbs civil and industrial peace is guilty of crime against society and the state.-TThe h. terior.
 All 1 write, and all I think, and all I hope, is based upon the divinity of our Lord, the one central hope of our poor, wayward race.-[W. E. Gladstone
 Not the gift but the giver is the true answer to prayer; not to get Gods bene- factions but to get God is the souls true answer.-[ Phillips Brooks.
 Whatever charge of folly may justly attach to the saying, "There is no God, '' the folly is prouder, deeper and less par donable in saying, 'sThere is no God but for me."- John Ruskin.
 Gods way of giving is daily strength for daily needs. He who would serve God wisely and well will use to-day's strengthened to-day's strength only for the duties of to-day. TO him who thus walks and works in the plain path and in the loving service of God, the promise of God rings out in nnever-failing freshness Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be."-[ From ssThe Sunday School Tmes.''
 Day by day look above,
 Craving guidance, needing love.
 Day by day there comes to me
 Love and guiding, Lord from thee.

 President Mcleod expresses himself as amazed at the perfect physical condi- tion of the New York and New England. He thinks the stock intrinsically very cheap. One of his associates says: 1T expect the stock to sell at 60 in the very near future, at 75 within six months. at par within year. I think that eventu- ally the Boston and Maine and the New England will be combined as one corpor- ation. Relations with the Reading might designate it as the Reading and New Eng land railroad company. I am in favor of consolidation on the basis of three shares of New England for one share of Boston and Maine. The Connecticut Riy- CT railroad company's purchase was for the same interests, which are now in the New England and Boston and Maine. George M. Pullman probably advanced the money. The American Express com pany has bid $250,000 year more than the United States Express company for the express business on the New England road. Charles Parsons and his friends control about 50, ,000 shares of New Eng land. The pres ent inactivity in the stock is due to the possibility that tie stock will be for sale if MT. Parsons loses all hope of control. The stock can be sold privately In one block at 43. New York Recorder.

WRITTEN FOR THE BEE.

WRITTEN FOR THE BEE. The year is dying, day by day, It's busy hours have slipped away, It's deeds are now with God. What has the Old Year taught us? What lessons has it brought us From sunshine, or from rod? The year had lessons in it's hours; It called tor use of nob1est powers, It bade us do our best. What shall the New Year bring us? What joyful carols sing us,
 Which call to service blest? Old Year, we bid you sweet adieu, From old things turn LIS to the new; Our faces toward the sun. The shadows fall behind us, No wintry night shades blind us As we the new course run. Let New Year bring us noble thought, Brave actions done, kind service wrougl For Jesus Christ, our King. May He to labor nerve suS, From evil deeds preserve us, That we His praise may sing.
