The San Francisco call., 1903-12-25

FOR yonder breaks new and glorious
morn.
II the voices OF the church congre-
cations and choirs Of the world could
be combined to-day the glorious vibrs-
ton OF hymnal melody would reach 10
heaven.
In every land where the Christian
abides there viii be songs Of JOY and
also devout worship. and nowhere viii
there be heard more beautiful outpour-
ings OF harmony than here, in the
metropolis by the Golden Gate.
Churches here have been decorated
as never before, and money has been
given freely for relief of those who
would otherwise endure a dismal yule-
tide.
Together with the welcomed jingling
of the moneys Of the charitable will
he the joyous ringing Of bells of
churches and the triumphant choruses
OF great bodies Of choristers joired
with grand melodies from organs and
silver tones Of trumpet.
Every church wherein the song feast
shall be heard has augmented its choir
that the greatest religious songs Of the
old and new masters may be given in
a manner BETTING the occasion.
Following are the church pro-
grammes FOR to-day:
