The Evening Service.

At the evening service Mr.. kincaid
presented he eighth OF his series of
sermons on The Making of Manhood,
'Self-ContrOl," and selected his text
from Proverbs 1852, He that ruleth
his spirit is better than he that taketh
a city. He said in part:
1t is ar old definition of Il man which
describes him as "a little world" and
which suggests TO us that his nature is
not as simple as we are sometimes apt
TO think, but exceedingly complex It
is of the utmost Importance that the
self in man should be wen and wisely
governed. The superiority of a small
body OF well-trained troopers over
large mob is a striking parallel with
the superiority Of a well-contro11ed
mind over an ill-disciplined one. Let
a man give a loose rein to his impulses
and passions, and from that moment
he surrenders his moral freedom.
To be more than an animal, man
must be able to resist impulse and de
sire, and this can only be done by the
exercise of self-contrOl But there is
he danger of too much self-control to
be cOmbatted. We deny ourselves love
because We fear sacrifice; we deny
ourselves The admiration of the beau
tiful because We fear to be observed.
Let Us cultivate that self-control which
is taught in the Bible, and that is, to
make ourselves masters of our pas
sions and not allow our passions to
master us

Christmas day services were held in
the Episcopal churches yesterday,
while the others celebrated the day on
Sunday, win special music and SER
mons appropriate to the occasion.
The Christmas music at the Central
Union Church Sunday morning was ex-
ceptiOnally fine. The morning offer
tory by Mr.. II. F. Wichman was ring
ingly effective with its GLORY to God
in the Highest" The evening offertory,
Noel" by Adolphe Adam, was appre-
ciated TO the full, rendered as it was
by Mr.. A. L. Parmley, tenor of the
Boston Lyric Opera Company. His as
sistance in the anthems, and choruses
called forth much favorable comment
Special mention should be made Of

The Bishops Sermon

At st. Andrews Cathedral yesterday
Bishop Willis addressed a large assem-
bly,, selecting st. John ia as the text
of his remarks, THE Word was made
flesh, and dwelt amongst u.s."
The speaker referred to the practice
of wishing q friend a merry Christmas,
and spoke III regret of the fact that
long usage Of the term, and the identi-
ficatiOn OF the day with rejoicing and
mirth, had been the means through
which the real foundation of the ex-
preston has in a sense been forgotten
The mirth and rejoicing of Christmas
shoald be that of the returned prodi-
gal son. For it is not as in something
external to ourselves that We rejoice in
the Incarnation, but as sharers in it;
because through the Only Begotten
Son we have been made Gods children
by adoption and grace. If children
then heirs-heirs of God and joint heirs

Second Congregation.


Rev. Alex. Macintosh chose as the
text of his discourse to the Second Con-
gregation at st. Andrews yesterday ST
Luke 2:l0-l1. And the angel said unto
them, Fear not; for behold, bring you
good sidings OF great joy, which shall
be to all people. For unto you is born
this day IN The city Of David, Savior,
which is Christ, the Lord"
After drawing clear word picture
of the scene witnessed in the stable at
Bethlehem this day eighteen hundred
and ninety-nine years ago, the speaker
urged his hearers to consider the faith
OF she shepherds to whom the words of
the text were addressed, and in graphic
language described the mystery of the
annunciatiol. Good tidings," said
the preacher, "are acceptable at all
times: then how acceptable should be
the tidirSs Of the existence of Savior
of Manh "a, born to die, that the
world might be purified and cleansed
from sin, nd that all persons might
be assured Of eternal iife?'
