The services at the churches Sunday.
both morning and evening, were very
interesting. Rev. Ledyard's sermon
at the Methodist church in the morn
ing was filled with good thoughts and
high aspirations for the New Year.
His subject, Ring out the false, ring
in the true: ring in the Christ that is
to be, was presented in clear, beau
tiful and impressive language. At the
Congregational church in the evening
Rev. Schmink preached from the text
There was no room in the inn." His
sermon was classical and logical,
demonstrating that from the highest
government officials down to the
churches, and the church members,
there is no room, for Christ today.
That graft, greed Of gain, pride,
worldly pleasure, and seltiShneSs is
crOwding Him out.

stone of which should be, The Christ
