brightened with the red of many blos- soms
 In the programme of music, The First Christmas Morn, by Newton, was beautifully rendered by the choir, the solo parts being especially enjoyed, the harmonious blending of tenor and bass being effective in bringing out the beauty of the anthem. The spirited singing of the hymns and the render ing of the anthems, both morning and evening. showed special preparation.
 The subject of the morning serman was Until Christ Be Formed in You. In introducing this topic Rev .Mr. Ew- ing gave a summary of all that makes children happy at Christmas, of the blessings that come to all through the love of Christ. and spoke of the trans formation that the spirit of Christmas makes in character, the good cheer and love shown at this season of the year banishes care and gloom and rouses our better nature.
 The central thought of the discourse which followed was God in Christ and Christ in you. St. Paul in writing these words gave utterance to his strong desire that Christ-filled disci- pies should show forth their Master to the world about them. To have for ourselves the indwelling Christ we must cultivate the fruits of the spirit, must get into companionship with Jesus.
 That the spirit of Christ may per wade society, the Christian should stand for the right, attacking all forms of wickedness that flourish about us The time is at hand when Christ shall see of the travail of His soul and be satisfied. The life that knows Christ shall keep eternal Christmas in the | heart

Miss Molleur. They at once notified Constable Reeves, who in turn sum- moned Medical Examiner Dr. Rush w. Kimball. After an examination Dr. Kimball gave his verdict as suicidal drowning. Undertaken Grant was giv- en permission to remove the body.
 Miss Molleur was the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Napoleon Molleur and was born in Grosvenordale on Feb. IS, 1877. When four years of age she came with her parents to Taftville and had resided there since. Miss Molleur was a member of the Sacred Heart church.

There are also two sisters, Miss Jo- sephine Molleur, who lives at home and Mrs. Mary Jane Bourbon of Hunt CTS avenue. She also leaves several nieces and nephews.
 Just what caused Miss Molleur to take her life Is not known, but 1t is
 thought that her mind may have been temporarily unbalanced, as she is known to have suffered from mental i derressions several times previous tc ] her death.

Y. N. c. A. SUNDAY SERVICE. George w. Guard Spoke on the Fath- erhood of God Before Good Aud fence.

The speaker at the Sunday afternoon meeting at the I. NJ. c. A. was George W. Guard, whose topic was the Fath- erhood of God. A pleasing programme was given by Swahn's orchestra. The Birth of Christ was effectively rem dered by Mrs William G. Haselden, accompanied by Frank Benson, vio- lin and Miss Ella Potter, piano. Mrs. Haselden also rendered Christmas.
 From the beginning of time. said Mir. Guard, man has reached out for things of joy and often has sought joy through sin. It makes all the dif- ference in the world how we get joy, whether it is the passing pleasure of sin, or the real joy which fadeth not away. When Christ taught us to pray he said for us to say Our Father. What real joy we feel in calling God, our fatherI the God who made the universe and set the worlds moving! Our human mind must form an idea of God out of our surround ings and thus perhaps we see Him as human form, kind and good, but deep in our hearts we feel Him as a spirit who. when we put off our tenn poral bodies as one casts off a cloak will show us that for which we have toiled and suffered through this world God is like the head of the human family, only His fatherhood is per feet God cares for us as the hu- man father cares for the child, but His love is perfect.
 Of all the animals, man is least fitted 10 his surroundings. We see a times his height and run away unin- jured. A man risks death by a fall twice his height. To me this is only

Late in the afternoon she dressed herself in street attire and about 5.30 o'clock left her home with out saying where she was going, it being thought by her family that she was bound for Norwich or for some of the stores in the village.

evidence that the world is not the final home of man.
 The coming of Christ made conn., munion with God a reality as 1t had never been before, so that whosoever will may call God, the father. Christ tells us that we are His brethren if he do His will and have right to call upon the Father in our trou- bles. Many, no matter how surround ed by family and friends, stands alone from the cradle to the grave in his re- lation to God and to himself. The most beautiful thought to me of all Christ's teachings Is Gods father hood to man.

To twice its former size;

His pumpkin took the prize!

Her tidy took the prize!
