THEY FOUND A SAFE.

 Bible.
 In the front window of the Pickwiek hotel at Seneca Falls, N, Y, is a small iron safe of ancient pattern, which, a card on the top says, was found in the ground and contained some ancient doc uments consisting of maps and charts dated 1620 How it came where it w.. found is mystery that no one seems able to explain
 Can 1t be that this safe contained the alleged Mormon Bible that was found in Wayne county and not more than three miles from where the safe was found? If so. perhaps the story that the famous Biblo was made in England and brought kere and placed where it was found is true, and that the safe was used in transporting it from the old country and abandoned after it had serv- ed it's purpose. It was found a mile and half north of the village of Palmyra, and in proximity to it were lot of h. dian relics, as though it had been buried ill an Indian burial mound, as being the safest place to hide it-Rochester Post Express

Christmas fit Emmanuel Church.

Christmas. 1896. was day long to
be remembered at Emmanuel church.
Thanks to the girls of ST. Agnes Guild
the interior was tastefully decorated
with evergreen and holly and the al
tar-vases filed with beautiful flowers.
The first service was the Sunday
school festival on Christmas eve where
at the most of the children of the Sum
day school gathered and sang sweet
carols and after brief service and adj
dress by the rector, received their US
ual little treat from beautiful tree,
the gift OF a member of the parish,
adorned and filed by the girls OF the
guild, who doubtless find it more
blessed to give than to receive, About
eighteen gathered at early celebration
to be first to greet the King and at
midday service the church was filled.
All eyes were riveted on the vestrv-
door as the organ began to play softly
and we heard as if from afar sweet
voices blended in the beautiful words
Of invitation s'Oh, come all We faith
ful.'' The door opened softly and in
marched the white-robed choristers led
by their cross-bearer and followed by
the clergyman. AS their sweet voices
rang out in that sublime setting forth
of the Mystery of Mysteries" the
words of our Saviour were called to
mind. Blessed are the pure in heart
for thew shall see God" A vested
choir! For these whom God has thus
separated from the congregation
to bring them near unto Himself we
thank Him.
A vested choir. The dream of a
few devout hearts in whom the hope
had been planted by loved one called
away and seeming one short year ago,
very far off if not unattainable, is
realized! Praise God from whom all
blessings flow! Other hymns were
Hank! the Herald Angels Sing and
Shout the Glad Tidings with While
Shepherds Watched their Flocks by
Night as occasional. The sermon
full of the Christmas spirit was from
the text Glory to God in the Highest
and on Earth Peace, Good Will Toward
Men. ONE OF THEM.
