YuIetide Exercises Given at CAS-
tellar Presbyterian Church.
The services at the CASTELAR, Street
Presbyterian church yesterday were pc
culiarly appropriate to Advent Sunday.
The congregations were large both morn
ing and evening. At the morning service
the church and Sunday school Joined in
a fine Christmas tide missionary exer-
else. Under the present pastorate this
has become an annual service of much
effectiveness, The religious emphasis of
Christmas Of Christ, the gift of God for
all the world is stressed by song, recita-
ton and decorations. At yesterdays
service the children rendered their mis-
slonary exercises with fine effect, while
the large chorus choir rendered its music
with exceptonals success. In the evening
the choir with equal success sang. nativ-
ity music. At this service the pastor
preached the third and last sermon of a
series entitled THE World in Preparation
For Its Messiah" The special theme OF
the occasion was 1.-THE Preparation OF a
Purpose" Referring to verses six and
seven OF the second chapter of Haggai,
the minister, Rev. Ralph H. Houseman,
said. This is a remarkable passage. At
tempts have been made to pervert II when
Il was found by the Jewish people that
It had been fulfilled, but without avail.
God used the writer OF the book of the
Hebrews to remind the nation what God
meant by the words. The text refers
undoubtedly TO the Messiah although
exegetical Interpretation may not entirely
bear out the idea"
Against the dark background of ma
tional apostacy," the minister went on to
say, "Haggal was making an eloquent
appeal to his people, who were the d.
vinely appointed custodians Of the Mes
sianic hope, that their loss OF one temple
need not discourage them. They should
have yet another that would be marked
by a greatness surprising the first one.
Into il, because OF Christ, worshippers OF
all nations should come The prophet
particularizes to them that the whole de-
partment of nature is concerned Sin the
coming OF this desired one He gives
a vivid picture of universal commotion
and the transformation OF the world
peoples"

HAVE EACH DAY CHRISTMAS
Dean Hancock Says Christmas is
Message of the Church Today.
THOUGHTS TURN TO THE POOR
Christmas ia Festival of GIadness
and joy In the Emphatic Word
of the Service of the
Church.

TIT was midnight In the hhistory of
the world. as well as midnight of the
twenty-four hours, when the angel APP
peared to the shepherds on the plains
of Judea and sang, II bring you good
tidings of great joy, whichh shall be
unto all people," said Dean James A.
Hancock in his sermon at Trinity
cathedral yesterday morning. THE
world was filled with unbelief and
crime and there was no hope OF things
BETTER" he said.
For 400 years the poets and prophets
had been silent. For 400 years there
had been no message Of the Christ. Sud-
denly. on the announcement of the angel.
the young men began to write poems and
the young maidens to sing the sweetest
strains
christmas is a festival Of gladness"
said Dean Hancock. '"rhe emphatic
word Of the church's service, the en-
phatic word of all the scriptures, is
JOY There is no man or woman who
realizes that the grave is not a dark
hole which swallows up everything, but
the gateway OF eternal life, who has not
reason to rejoice today.
"It ought always to be Christmas day.
All our thoughtfuness for the poor to-
day, all our interest in the distressed
ought to be characteristic of the whole
year.
1.-THE message of Christmas is the mes
sage of the church today. Just think
what the world would be without
Christmas II you take belief in
Christ out Of the world, IL you take
away the hope OF eternal life, there is
no peace on earth. You look up at
the sky then and all is midnight. The
only thing to do then is to stop think
ing"

A commission Of eminent politicians,
men OF letters, librarians and others,
under the presidency of Blenvenu Mar
tin, has been appointed by the govern
ment to inquire into the present position
OF the Bibliotheque Rationale, Frances
great national library, which is reduced
to serious straits owing TO lack OF
funds. The French Parliament votes
annually only $1,000 for the acquisition
of new works. For a similar purpose the
library at Washington disposes Of $4,000,
the Berlin Royal library $4,000 and the
British Museum $4,000.
A critic says: Lord Rosebery's def
milton OF a library as "a cemetery OF
dead books is most applicable to the
Bibliotheque Rationale, for numerically
speaking, Il is the richest library in the
world, possessing no less than 100000
volumes, but in quality It is sadly lack
ing. 1t is relatively poor in scientific
works; quite a fifth Of the most recent
works on sciences and industry are
wanting, and lack Of funds makes It inn
possible to supply the deficiency"
At last the Impressionist School OF Art
