Eloquent Plea for
Christmas Carols.

st. John, n. f., Nov. 26.--AddresSing
the grand jury in the circuit court here
today, d. l.. Harrington. presiding
judge, referred to the New York agita-
ton about Christmas Carols in the
schools and said:
This Wiping out of the minds and
hearts of the children of all reference
to Christ. the blessed Savior; all refer
ence to the religion of which We boast,
Wiping it out and eliminating it from
their thoughts, the name Of Him whom
we worship, is fearful to contemplate
Our children are the bone of this coun-
try and it is our duty to inform them
on matters religious. To think of X,
in Now York no child shall hear the
name of Christ. especially at the joy
GUS season, the approach of Christmas
His name IS to be stricken from the
hymns and carols.
1t is a great calamity that such a
thing should occur in such q country
of So,O00,009 persons. TO think that a
country should be educated as if there
is no God. They do not state that, but
they are tending to it. To think that
Blessed name, whose influence has
made this continent what it is, should
be taken from the educatona institu-
tons.
l do not hold up my hand in judg-
menl, but ! feel that it is right to call
tne attention of the representative of
the pecfle to his occurrence by way of
warning. We are doing our duy to cur
children TO whom we will one day hand
over this great country. We should
not take step that will call down
the anger of God. 1t will be said that
1t is not my place to make these re-
marks from the bench, but I feel that
il is my duty"
