be no fight there between Corbett and

them friends of those who discounten-

off and establish the reputation of the
place forever with the sporting fra
ternity.' Shrewd indeed are the Dallas

CHRISTMAS IN THE CHURCHES.
Fine Music and Sermons Breathing the
Spirit of Peace.

The Christmas services at the State
street Congregational and the Episcopal
and Catholic churches yesterday, drew
out large congregations. The Episcopal
and State street churches were beauti-
fully decorated with Christmas green.
The music at all the churches closely
followed the programmes published in
the PRESS, and was exceptionally fine.
We doubt if there was ever an occasion
on Christmas day in these later years in
Portland, where the music was more
elaborate or satisfactory. At the State
street church and ST. Luke's cathedral,
the two splendid organs were towers of
strength in themselves and the greatly
increased choirs gave en- immense volume
of harmonious sound.
AT State street very handsome col
lection was taken up for the benefit of
the children's ward ofssthess MainesGeneral
hospital, amounting to between seventy
and seventy five dollars.
At st. Luke's cathedral the procession
was q marked feature of the morning
service.
At st. Dominic's and the Cathedral of
the Immaculate Conception, at the morn
ing mass. there were such crowded con-
gregations it was almost impossible to
find standing room, let alone getting a
seat The music was grand and uplifting,
and the professions were mostieffective
religious pageants. Bishop Healy, in
his sermon, which related to the season,
trusted that peace everywhere would pre-
vail, a sentiment that his congregation
could apply as they pleased to the reIa-
tions between the churches, or those
affecting thesnations.ss
At st. Paups church, Rev. Mr.. Shep-
pard delivered an excellentssermon, the
church looked very pretty and the music
WAS good.

In q short time it is expected that the
trustees of the Portland Public Library
will receive the bequest with which the
Institution was endowed by the will of
the late Ira z. Harrington. When this is
realized, it is expected that there will be
several additional positions provided
and, possibly, librarian elected, who
is known as distinguished authority
in literary matters. Miss Furnish is an
excellent librarian and seems to fill the
bill very satisfactorily at the present time.

A GOSPEL OF JOY.
DR.. Jenkins Speaks at State Street
Church.

There was large audience at the
State Street Congregational church. The
Offering given IN aid of the children's
ward of the Maine General hospital
amounted to $50.
Rev. Or. Jenkins preached an appro-
pirate sermon from Luke IL, 10: 81
bring you tidings of great joy"
He said this announcement was direct
~ opposed to the received notions re-
garding religion, and it needed an angel
to announce this new conception. He
found a joy in Christianity because he
found it in himself We shall find no
music, no beauty no joy outwardly un-
less we first find it within ourselves.
But must we wait until we become
angels before finding religion?'' No,
but we must train ourselves TO be joyful
and in that way come into the ideal of
the angel messenger Of God. That is
what the church is trying to have the
world to proclaim, and the question is
How is the desired result to be reach
ed?" God sent a bright angel and not a
weeping prophet to announce the birth of
his son, and Gods way is the best way.
DR. Jenkins said he liked the bright
ness of this advent season, the bright and
we'll filed shops, the central Christ
fought to make others happy. He liked
to see the sanctuary made bright and
beautiful, and believing that this is
inspired by the spirit of Jesus Christ he
received it as an Indication OF what is yet
to come.
