Of the churches to-day, in observance Of

| acter, and particularly so in the Roman
Catholic and Episcopalian churches.

and impressive ceremonies and nne music
at the Cathedral Of ST. John the Baptist.
The cathedral choir has always been a
good one, but under the direction OF MIR.
| F. T.. Rebarer, who has been in charge
for the past year, il has attained nigh
excellence. Mr. Rebarer has been care
| fully training the choir for the Christmas
music and it is expected that 1t will be I'M
usually fine.
Solemn high mass win be celebrated at
$50 o'clock by Vicar General B. j. Kelley
and pontifical high mass at 1890 O'Clock
by Bishop Becker The music, will be the
same at both masses. Benediction Will
be celebrated after last mass.

a mass made up of selections from the
masses of different composers, but this VIII
not be done this year, and Conconi's mass
in "E' fiat will be sung entire. This is
the first time Conconis mass has ever been
sung in "E' in Savannah. 1t is a very

It Is seldom that Max Vogrich's ceIebrat-
| ed mass in A is heard in this city, as the

it becomes a genuine treat. A choir of Il
| selected voices will render the mass at the
| Sacred Heart church at High Mass at 10
| Q Clock this morning. Mr. VoSrichs repu-
tatlon as composer, and a reference to
| the choir members makes it unnecessary
