LESSONS FROM CHRIsT's BIRTH.
The Morning Sermon at the First
Christian Church.

Christian Church
The Rev. Charles N. Oliphant con-
Quoted Christmas services Yesterday
morning at the First Christian church
and delivered a sermon upon the
theme, "A Savior Born" which favor
ably impressed the congregation.
In his introduction, he said that
the world was weary, had tried to
help itself and failed; the oracles were
silent; the worship was u~nclean; the
fullness of time came; the great clock
of God, ticking slowly through the
centuries. struck at the right moment.
God gave men exactly what they
needed-sight of the Savior.
The minister then cited lessons from
Christ's birth, speaking first of Gods
fulfllment of His promises; second,
of the interest of Heaven in earth;
third, of Christ's coming down to US
and thus becoming Emanuel-God
with us; fourth, of the reality of the
incarnation; fifth, of the -sacredness
of Childhood. He said that Jugger-
naut gives to childhood a grave, in
fidelity gives it neglect, but Christian
ity alone gives it a nursery and a
home.
He gave as the sixth lesson, the per-
feet manhood of Christ and seventh
that while Christ is God with US, yet
he enters into the most real and close
sy mpathy with every one of us. The
eighth and last lesson was that God
with us teaches us that the true life
is that of forgetfulness of self. He
closed his sermon with this quotation:
is life worth living asks the cynic
sage,
That hangs upon the question,
What is life?
To breathe, to eat, to sleep, or vain
ly strive.
With natures law a hopeless war to
wage.
And reap unrest and pain from
youth to age.
This is not life, but death. He only
lives.
Who from the hearts full fountain
freely gives.
And takes as freely loves large
heritage.
Who saves his life shall lose it; and
the prize.
If gained is not worth having.
Then he who dies.
For God and truth and lost hui
nanity.
Scoring delights to live lahorious

AT THOMPSON M. E.

The services last evening at the
Thompson NJ. e. church were of I'M
usual interest. The choir rendered
its Christmas musical programme and
in addition to the chorus work, in the
rendition of which Misses Virginia
Harrison and Broadie Lewis and
Messrs. Allen Robinson and Walter
Sadler sang the solo parts, Mrs. Zou
Hastings and Mr.. E. L. Stone were
present and rendered a number of ap-
propriate solos. There were about
forty voices in the choir. One of the
pleasing features Of the evening were
the lady ushers.

More Talk About Music.

To the Editor Of the Register.
Sir-I see you name another CORE
spondent who is not satisfied with mu-
sic in the schools. What is the matter
with your correspondent? Does he or
she want something? The board Of ed
ucation is satisfied with results, and l
think the parents generally are salts
fed. Rich parents, who can send their
children to pay professors, probably do
not want music in the schools. but all
are not rich; therefore the public
schools, with all the advantages for ac-
curing a good education in the every
day branches, should have as good
knowledge of music and drawing. l
do not believe your correspondent is
sincere, and l hope We shall hear no
more from him. c. H. S.

REV. MR.. BLEAKLY'S R M
In the Morning at the Wesley NJ. E.
Church,

In the Morning at the Wesley VI. E.
Church.
A feature of the Christmas services
yesterday morning at the Wesley NJ.
e. church was the Rev. Gregory Bleak
lys sermon upon the theme, wonder
full Name" His text was according to
Isiah, 9-6: For unto Us a child is
born, unto us a son is given, and gov
eminent shall be upon his shoulders,
and his nam shall be called Wonder
full Counselor, the Mighty God, the
Everlasting Father, the Prince of
Peace"
With reference to the seven won
ders of the world, he said that this is
the greatest Of all the Wonders-frst
wonderful for His advent into th45
world. The Son of God became the
son of man, that the sons of men
might become the sons of God; that
He who upheld all things by His pow
er should robe Himself in our human
ity. The minister then referred to the
wonderful works of Christ. He was
wonderful in His death. ard WIS not
like Socrates or any of the other phil
o%sorhers. His death was d sacrifice for
the sins OF the race. He was wonder
full for His resurrection. The tomb
was guarded and sealed, yet Christ
came forth as the illustrious conqueror,
having fought the battle of the
worlds deliverance, and, descending
On high. He led captivity captive"
He also spoke Of Ohrist's counsel to
us as far as our life and destiny are
concerned and OF His mightiness to
assist in living as He counsels. The
Rev. Mr.. Bleakly closed hy pointing
out the fact that Christ is the ever
lasting Father because He has made
mans salvation possible by atone
ment, and thus He was the Prince OF
Peace, considering that where the Cos
pei goes it carries peace, and the gos-
pei is able to tame the savage.

awful heather darkness, which reign
ed over it before He came to its pres
ent civilization and advancement, it
is fitting that we should take up the
angel song. Glory to God in the
Highest and on Earth peace, goodwill
toward men.
The minister clearly and impressive
ly illustrated the power of Christian
song, citing an instance in which
Moody and Sankey had at one time in
London held a religious service from
which church people were debarred
and only infidels and scoffers were adj
mitted. The novelty of such a ser
vice drew a large congregation of that
class of people. Having succeeded in
attracting them there the next prob
lem was how to prevent them from
going away more confirmed than ever
in their ~wickedness, I'VE must inter
est them with singing said Moody.
1--WE must have a hymn that will APP
peal to the hearts of them all and l
want you to sing my mothers prayer"
Mr.. Sankey began that song and be-
fore one verse of it had been sung a
silence fell over that congregation and
they sat entranced. AS the last note
OF the hymn died away, Mr.. Moody
spoke to his hearers and extended an
invitation to all who desired an inter-
by one they arose and signified their
intention of leading a Christian life.
