Mardon D. Wilson officiated. and delivered
a brief sermon. taking for his text the
angelic song. GLORY to God in the high
est"
Mr.. Wilson said that into the very p res
ence of God the glorious song of the angels
was sung and echoed back upon the earth
in that far-off night in Bethlehem. In the
highest strains Of which men were capa-
bic the church of God here militant on
earth, the church expectant in Paradise
joined In their best and pureSt strains with
angels, archangeis and princlpaHtles IN
the one great song of the universe, GLORY
to God in the highest"
The reason OF the singing" he said, rs
the marvellous object lesson which men call
the incarnation, Of which one OF the deep
est mysteries seems to be that the Infinite
God could condescend to learn by expe-
rlence the joys and temptations OF mortal
men, and this incarnation for the glory OF
God in these ways; that the infinite thus
has fellowship with the finite; that he
takes such wonderful and beautiful means
OF bringing back his children to himself;
that he has made it possible for his chill
dren to know divine fellowship, and that
through the incarnation he has impaired
somewhat his character to us his children.
PEACE on earth means peace with COG,
peace III the world, under which an appeal
was made "for peace among the nations OF
the earth to-day, in neigh borhoods, in
families and each one with himself" And
then as the echo of the angels song, men
come to learn that only men of good will
can appreciate and set forward this divine
peace"
The musical paniment to the ser.
vice was rendered by vested choir Of
eighteen boys and eight men. under the
direction of Henry Kirk White Jr. The
music was largely an. arrangement by
Tours, comprising familiar Christmas
hymns.
Ladies OF the church decorated the inter
Tor with Christmas green's beautifully, the
chancel being mass of evergreens anC
the walls ornamented with garlands run
nlng round them. The font was full O.
fresh cut flowers.

CHURCH OF THE ADVENT.
Appropriate Music and Services at Rector
Emory,s Church on Eleventh Street,

Appropriate Music and Services at Rector
Emory's Church on Eleventh Street
There was the typical Christmas service
at the Church of the Advent (Episcopal)
on Eleventh street, near Market, yester-
day-such celebration of the anniversary
of the Savior's birth as the English church
men enjoy.
The church is peculiarly adapted for
celebrations of religious festivals, for its
Interior with Its semi-Gothic outlines,
recalls, spiritually, the Yule-tide worship
of York and Canterbury.
The first thing noticed on entering was
the effect of the Examinations and decora-
tons. Surrounding the high screen which
incloses the sanctuary was fivc-pointed
star ablaZe with ignited gas. Beneath this
reminder of the "Star of Bethlehem" was
a cross of ferns and evergreens, and the
entire screen was decorated with the rich
green of the forest and numerous laurel
wreaths. The altar was literally covered
with callas and white chrysaathe-
NUNS. All the candelabra were afame
and the pews of the auditorium were set
off with lunches of fern, evergreen and
acacia. The pulpit was enveloped in
ferns.
Rector John A. Emory's sermon was
from Haggai ii:7, "And | will shake all
nations and the desire of all nations shall
come, and | will fill this house with glory,
saith the Lord of hosts" The scriptural
selection was made to serve as basis for
an elaboration of the effect of Christs ad-
vent upon human civilization.
The musical programme was very select
Professor II. Slosson Jr. was at the organ
and the following programme was given,
the choir consisting of sixty men and boys
Professional, Venite, Gloria Patri, TIE Deum

THE BAGPJPE REVILED.
To Add to the Insult the Wailipg Pipes
We're Termed a DudeIsack.


conflict over matter which to sew
eral of the interested parties appeared to
be of mighty consequence, was narrowly
averted recently in Justice of the Peace
Clarke's courtroom in Milwaukee. A
damage suit was in progress when one OF
the attorneys alluded to bugpipe as ian
alleged musical instrument" and in a
moment the trouble was on, there being
several Scotchmen IN court.
The suit on trial was that of William
Matthews against the Wisconsin Theater
COMPANY, the owner of Wonderland.
Mr.. Matthew's sued for damages arising
from a runaway occasioned by the adver-
Using wagon of the museum company.
He claimed that while the wagon was pro-
ceeding UP the street drawing a Scotch
piper, WHO was piping merrily, his
(Matthaus') horse became frightened.
The piper, MIR. Matthews asserted, was
aware that the animal was scared, but
nevertheless continued to pipe. The
frightened horse ran away.
When the complaint was read it was
found that the bagpipe was described as
IAN alleged musical instrument" To this
every one present of Scotch ex traction I'M
medjately dissented with much heat and
for awhile the suit was forgotten in the ar
gument over the sighting term. Authori-
ties were cited to show what constitutes a
musical instrument, but to 90 purpose, the
attorney for the plaintiff insisting on using
the term in his address to the jury and the
Jus ice was obliged to oyerrule motion
to restrain the attorney from its use.
But the trouble was far from settled, for
when the plaintiff, who is German and
unable to talk English, gave his testimony
he alluded to the bagpipe as ''ein dudel-
sack" Again every Scotchman was on
mis- feet and the argument resumed. Ex-
cItement ran high for some moments, but
the Justice, with the aid of the Constable,
was enabled to quiet the belligerents and
restore order. The jury, which was evil
for the plaintiff, giving him $125 damages

CHASED BY AN ELEPHANT.
Miraculous Escape of q Hunter In the In
dian Jungle.


dian Jungle.
The author of "Gun, Rifle and
Hound narrates an adventure which
befen him and two companions, ."Will"
and F." in Ceylon. Zone of the
most miraculous escapes ever known in
elephant-shooting, he calls it. F,
it should be said, was a famous killer
of elephants, and had brought with
him native tracker well used to the
business; "a little wizened-up creature,
but absolutely fearless" They were in
search of a notorious rogue elephant,
which had killed so many men and
done so much other mischief that the
government had put a reward of fifty
dollars upon his head.
We started early in the morning, and
were soon on the fresh tracks of the
brute. He was evidently moving pretty
fast. The tracker followed the trail
almost at trot, and it was rather hot
work keeping him in sight. At last it
was obvious that we were close upon
the, elephant, which was heading more
and more into the thickest jungle.
Nasty, dangerous BRUTE" whispered
F.; 1--WE shall hear him before we
see him."
A minute or two more and the track
er stopped and pointed to branch
which was still oscillating violently.
The elephant could not be minute
ahead of us. We all stopped and
looked intently among the thick trees.
With a scream of rage the rogue
crashed out at us. We all fred, ! think.
The tracker ran toward Will, the ele-
plant close after him. Will fired again,
and turned to run. The tracker had
slipped out of the way. F. and /
ran after the elephant, reloading as we
ran. He was gaining rapidly on our
poor friend.
"round tree!" viii made for the
nearest one, the elephant not two
lengths behind him, and we still forty
yards behind.
To our horror we saw Will catch his
foot in something and go down at full
length. F. groaned with despair,
and dropping on my knee 1 fred two
barrels uselessly into the brute's hind
quarters. s.
Then came the miracle. Whether the
blood from half dozen wounds had
blinded the elephant, or Wills sudden
into the long grass had
deceived him, / cannot say, but half
stopping, he turned and made off into
the jungle, where we lost him, after
following him for hours.
