Incident to the requirement by Trinity
cathedral of the Clarkson hospita, property
on Dodge street, Right Rev. Arthur L.
Williams, bishop of the diocese of Ne

ice of the great opportunities confronting
the church.
"At the close of another{ year and the
beginning of a new one we have a great
work before us" he said, sour church as
ISOLATION has taken up some property that
will mean much for us in carrying on an
important mission in the downtown dis
tTlct. The scope of our endesvor is thus
greatly enlarged.
Trinity cathedral now occupies a con-
spicuous place in the work of Christianity.
but it is destined for an even greater
place. Trinity cathedral is going to be,
to Omaha, what Grace church is to Chi
cago. 1t will occupy a more significant
position in ministering to the people. With
the requirement Of the property on Dodge
street we are given means for greater en-
deavor. Outside our own church walls we
are given an opportunity for more extern
sive work.
I'm connection with the celebration Of
Christmas, then, we nave great cause to be
thankful This is a period of rejoicing.
In the present, however, we are not alone
interested, for our work lies in the fu-
ture."
There were special celebrations of the
Holy Eucharist at Trinity cathedral SUM-
day. Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock the
children's entertainment will be held.

JESUS STAR OF CHILDHOOD
With Christ's Coming, Little Ones
%Triumphed, Says Or. Hyde.
BROUGHT LIGHT TO DEAD WORLD
the Importance of the Old Testa-
ment DccInrntiOns-Trinity
Parish to work.

THE rising Star of Bethlehem was the
rising star Of childhood" said Rev, r.
Scott Hyde. d. D.. at Hanscom Park Meth
odist Episcopal church Sunday morning.
with the coming of Christ, childhood
came into its own. Prior to this time and
up to Christ's coming, virtue was scoffed
at, human society was at its lowest moral
ebb and childhood struggled IN precarious
existence of hopeless abandonment.
There is no narrative in universal. lit
erature that has exerted the interest Of this
simple gospel story from the second chap
ter Of Luke. The night OF Christ's birth
was in beautiful harmony with the event,
that of bringing the supreme announce
ment, the tidings Of great JOY.
'Chrlst's coming was great tldings to the
lowly, for had He been born in a palace
and brought up in luxury His life would
have been without it's great lesson. His
after life was in keeping with His birth.
He taught the lesson that 1t Is possible for
a man to be virtuous though far removed
from luxury, and that it was possible for
a man to be wealthy without being rich.
Hi coming was tidings Of great joy to
all who had been born without a sense OF
moral responsibility. He came as a Savior
to all men. When He came religion had
lost its hope, paganism was waning and
darkness had set in over the moral world
and it was the night Of despair. But His
coming was the Light Of Salvation and the
re-birth of Hope.
HIS coming promised a moral regenera-
ton of the world and brought the tidings
of peace and good will. In. the days of
Herod there was no peace. 1t was an era
of blood and despair, 1t is impossible for
us to realize upon what misery the love-
blinded eyes of the Holy Light then shone.
l believe that the time viii come when
universal peace shall prevail; when truth
shall at last reign.
Goodness, kindness, charity and good
will were forgotten when Christ was born.
But with Christ's birth came tina magic
touch that warmed the hearts of the poor
and the rich, the employer and the EN-
ployed, softened the cynicism of the miser
and the iron hearts of selfish mankind.
oh, beautiful day that can so soften the
hearts of the world that it bends all man
kind to the tenderest emotions of broth
erly love. So say we all. Sc think, feel
and act we all under the soothing, owing
sweetening influences of this blessed
Christmas day and week, that derives its
heavenly inspiration from the birth Of the
Babe Of Bethlehem"

Rev. Edwin jerks Points to Refer

"The trouble with most people in their
