 Of the Birth Of the Savior.

TN every church in San Francisco
 where the Christian religion is
 preached special praise services l were held yesterday in commem- oration of the anniversary Of the birth of the Savior. Congregations Of every denomination and creed vied with each other in doing honor to the memory of the child of Bethlehem. whose coming signaled the beginning of new era in the history of the world
 Nearly every race under the sun was represented in the throngs Of worshipers who gathered in the sane tUaries 10 raise their voices in holy songs Of praise and listen to the beau- tifuI music composed and rendered in tribute to the Supreme Being who gave his only begotten son that the world might be saved and to make men bet ter. T. is on this anniversary that the believers iu Christianity pour out their whole souls to God, lt seems as though the memory Of the great Sacrlnce or the Savior appears more FlVIdIy 10 their minds and brings them Tn closer touch 10 the future life at Christmas than aI any other occasion or event in the course Of the year. it seems as though he whose birth they meet tO commemorate Is once more among them in being. bringing an atmosphere Of love and affection with him. IL needs not the words of the preacher to inspire them with the proper spirit; the inspiration Is in the very air they breathe
 Tn all the churches the decorations were elaborate, but simple. consisting almost invariably Of pOtCed palms and plants, flowers and ferns, gracefully arranged around chancel and altar. The delicate perfume of natures prod ucts scented the air, while the priests burned incense or ministers raised their voices in praise or prayer. The edifiCes in which the services were held were crowded almost without ex- ceptiOn, and the programmes were un- usually complete and elaborate.
 In most Of the Catholic churches high mass was sung at , o'clock G. n. and low mass every hour from that time until Il o'clock. Tn the Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian. Baptist, Con Gregattonal and other denominatiOnal churches services were in most tu- stances held both morning and even ing. Tn only 2 few were there after noon services. l few Of the Sunday schools gave Christmas entertainments during the day or evening, but gen orally this feature had either preceded the dawn of the SaviOr's anniversary

We were assembled, our menus read, which were enlivened by clever and appropriate selections from Italian writers, and the soup passed. Helas, IL was plain every day bOuiIIon, instead of the oyster or clam broth that the day called TOT. This cleared, We already tasted the turkey, when our host took the keen edxes Of our disappointment of by re- Iatfug his adventures while hunting for turkey where the bird was not He served us roast chicken, which was de- Ifcious and tender, but not turkey. Neither did we have cranberry sauce nor baked squash, nor sweet potatoes, nor. in fact, anything that well regu- lated Thanksgiving table should groan under. Instead. there were the usual haricot vert, the boiled marrons, the Brussels sprouts and chlcOry that make up an Italian menu
 For dessert we had an ice, followed by cafe noir and a thumb glass of gen. nine Chartreu-e. As we arose from the table all realized the saying that absence makes the heart grow fonder,' and while the flow of soul and good companionship had cheered our hearts we. for the first time. knew how much the proper and time-honored viands add to the Thanksgiving celebration.
