Trinity Church.

Christmas eve services were held in
connection with the Sunday school.
Christmas hymns were sung, together
with religious services and an ad-
dress by the Rector on the Christmas
spirit. The traditional tree and it's
exercises were held in in the parish
house.
There were two celebrations of the
Holy Communion on Christmas day;
and at the 1920 a. m. service the Rec
tor preached on the Christmas mes
sage and it's relation to home.
country, and life in general.
Mr.. Will Vickerman sang solo
as the otfertory, which was very we'll
received. The vested choir was out in
full force, and hopored the day not
only by their presence but by their
singing.
The church was beautifully deco
rated with tree ferns for the occasion,
and the large congregation at these
services showed that the spirit of the
day had entered their hearts.
ST. JOHNS DAY.
Last Sunday being the feast of St.
John the evangelist, in the evening
by an invitation of the Rector, the
Masons of Mineral Point lodge at
tended in a body. The church was
crowded to the doors, some sixty
Masons being in line. The evening
prayer was rendered, and short
address was given by the Rector on
Ideas and Ideals as the types of the
two patron saints of the order. The
evening choir of the church sang well
a number of Christmas pieces. Miss
Marion Jones sang in very effective
way a solo as an otfertOry, and Mr..
Anderson gave an organ recital which
showed not only the power and beau
tiful tones OF the organ, but his skill
as an Organist.

A WISE COUR Sc.

There can be no doubt that tariff re-
duction will be the paramount issue in
congressional campaigns until very
many of the schedules are materially
lowered. 1t is, therefore, refreshing
10 find that the chairman of the Demo
cratic caucus of the house of repre-
sentative keenly scalizes the necessity
Of demanding revision on every sche-
dule, so that when their efforts fail of
success the Democrats may have a
complete measure on which to go be-
fore the country in the next congress
gressional campaign. Henry D. Clay
ton OF Alabama is the caucus chair
man, and he wisely says:
at is not sufficient for the Demo-
Gratis of the next congress to assume
an attitude of simple negation on the
matter of tariff revision Or TO merely
oppose the Republican offer.
1--WE must formulate an entire tariff
bill covering every schedule, cham
piOn it, demand revision on it's every
schedule and ask for the yeas and
nays on it in the house.
Then we are to have, so it is said
the maximum and minimum, which is
another name for reciprocity. Of
course the Republicans will insist on
making the maximum as big as they
dare, but our bill might fit in for the
minimum in some of the schedules.
'We want a complete bill on which
we can go before the country in 1910. :"

Christmas at St Paups Catholic Church

The religious services at st. Paul's
Catholic church, in this city, were con-
Quoted with the usual impressive Christ
mas ceremonies. The interior of the
church was very beautifully decorated,
appropriate for the holy season. To
the sanctuary, especially, was given
marked care and attention It was or
namented with evergreens and holly in
profusion. Great festoons of evergreen
were suspended in loops in front and
across the sanctuary. On the Taber-
nacle the green was relieved by arts
tically arranged artificial and natural
cut flowers. Above, in semi-circle, was
the Christmas angel-greeting, "Gloria
in Excelsis'', in large green letters.
When services began, the many light
ed tapers and gold embroidered vest
ments of the celebrant made an at
tractive appearance The choir, newly
formed, with the organist, Miss Emma
Whalen, received the we'll merited

High Mass. 1t was also the first time
the choir had sung together in public.
and, although only a little over two
weeks in practice, they sang the new
ritual Mass of the Immaculate Virgin
in perfect unity and harmony, showing
the personal interest and care in prep
aration. Great credit is also due to
Miss Gertrude Weidenfeller, who faith
fully instructed them and assisted in
their practice.
Father O'Keefe preached a sermon

text, 81 bring you tidings of great joy,

was a happy, cheerful day for those
present, as all the services were direct
ed to peace and goodwill to all. Miss
Mary Healy and Miss MilIy Whalen,
secretary and treasurer respectively of
the Altar Society, deserve praise and
thanks for their labor and skill in plac-
ing the decorations.

all OF that time the republican MAORI

Primitive Methodist Church.

The +. M. Sunday School celebrated

program of very interesting exercises

Miss Asenath Oates, who had careful
ly prepared the children for their sew
eral parts. Christmas carols were

Fifteen years ago or more in an ad-
dress before the national bar assOcia-
ton, Charles Noble Gregory declared
that the application of the powc' of
injunction to labor disputes was
fraught with danger, and might lead
to as tremendous results as did the
discovery of gunpowder and it's APP
plication to warfare In view of JUS
tice Wright's decision in the Gompers-
Mitchell-Morrison case, it appears
that Mr.. Gregory was good deal of
a prophet.
