The holiday season, with its good
wishes, generous gifts, pleasures, heart
aches. ana pestiential small boy is GER
tainly here. The busy streets, eager
shoppers and stray frecrackers and blow
ing of tin horns are outward and visible
signs. To-day the holy and spiritual part
Of Christmas will have more opportunity
to assert itself; the churches will have on
their Christmas dressing, and the choirs
will sing Christmas music Some of the
churches have elaborate and well-trained
choirs, which viii do justice 90 the
spirited music for the season. The
Cathedral will not be as deliberately
dressed as usual owing to the work going
on, on the exterior of the building, nor
will the choir have a full chorus, as the
organ is retiring in anticipation of a new
one later on. Christ church will
be decorated with bamboo, and a chime
of seven bells, from which will
descend seven golden ropes, will be above
the altar. The Independent Presbyterian
church will be decorated, and thus en-
nance the beauty Of this already beauti-
full structure The choir has an attract
i've Christmas programme. The First
Presbyterian church will be decorated
with bamboo, ported plants and palms,
aud the music will be especially good. st.
Paul's church will be decorated as much
as possible. Frescoing is being done in
the church, and that will interfere with
decoration. The choir has prepared the
following programme:
20 Come All Ye Faithful"
Angels From the Realms OF Glory"

St. Johns will be decorated with palms
and ported plants and bamboo, and the
choir has some very fine selections.
