Signs of the Season.

Christmas day approaches;
You feel 1T in the air:
IT'S written in the grocery store,
Where fowls are fat and fair.
IT'S mentioned in the window
OF the big emporium;
IT'S whispered in the murmur
OF the shoppers as they coma
Christmas day approaches;
The people smile to see
Its heralds thus appearing
In splendid pageantry.
You note the fact most keenly
Whenever you pause to look
On the vanishing proportions
OF your busy Docketbook.

LARGE Crosse In an EngIish Church.


The largest cross in any church
is the "Great Rood, which the
Duke Of Newcastle presented to the
Church Of St Alban, Holborn It
is an enormous crucifix, the cross Of
which is over twenty-five feet in
height, and hangs suspended from
the chancel arch The cross itself
is colored dead olive green, and the
arms have terminals Of howers-de-
luce and Tudor roses. The sacred
figure is painted and gilt, while on
either side stand presentments Of
st. John the Divine and the VIRGIN
as the Mater Dolorosa. The idea
Of the work has been chiefly bor-
rowed from the rood crosses to be
seen still at St. Peters, Louvain.
and at Ophnter in Brabant.

Easter day this year was indeed

Easter day this year was indeed
a seeming resurrection IN the pref
ty little church Of the Epiphany,
where the graceful elinging ivy
chambers over the walls, trying
most lovingly to cover every defect
or evidence Of decay with it's own
verdant beauty. The interior had
like a magic spriugtide burst into
bloom. From every nook and
crany brightest blossoms peeped
forth aud climbing up the walls,
trailing over the windows. The
chancel in its Easter dress of white
and gold was rich in whitest roses,
while circling around were ferns
aud scarlet lilies. The choir stalls
for the vested choir were massed
ia brilliant red roses. When the
sweet toned bell which called to
prayer had fingered on the air,
the organ began to whisper IN re-
spouse, and presently, distant
voices told of the approaching pro-
cessional. The first were young
boys whose sweet young voices and
attractive faces, won the hearts of
the congregation at once. Then
followed number Of young girls
and the ladies of the choir, all look
ing particularly well in the digni-
fed vestments. The grand old
Greycien chants are especially cal
cnlated to induce congregational
singing, aud the crowd that filled
every seat, every added chair and
the gallery aud every step did sing
with spirit and understanding also.
As an offertory Mrs. Anna Grant
Miller sang The Holy City exqui-
sitely, with the entire choir joining
in the refrain, "Glory to God" 1t
was very beautiful and effective.
The sermon by the Rector was a
new Interpretation Of the ''Prodi-
gal Son, II will arise aud go to
NY Father, as referring to the
Blessed Master when his work was
done, laying down bis life Of toll
aud pain, and being welcomed to
ellis Father and Our Father. His
Father and Our God" The blessed
Easter spirit seemed to pervade the
place. The Rector also felt the in
spiratiou of the gloriouS spirit OF
the resurrection There was much
energy and earnostnes> and practi-
cal lessons in all BE- said. The
Easter service is unusually long,
but the lovely music and the com
plete Harmonious service made the
time all too short. Mr. Dee, the
gifted organist has done wonders
with the organ and the choir, for
which the congregation should he
very grateful. BY especial request
the entire service will be repeated
next Sunday. Nj. T.. 2.
