How the Churches Observed Christmas Sunday-Death of Henry Skinner Fox Hunters on the Trail.

At the First Methodist church Sun day everywhere were reminders of Christm Evergreen pine and laurel wers used in the decorations ;wreaths were hung about the church, 8 star back of the pulpit, a cross of green near, and evergreens twined about the altar rail.
 At the morning service the pastor, Rev. NJ. R. French, spoke from the text fC.snd in Luke 2: 10 and H. taking for the subject Heavenly Tidings. In his sermon he told of the effect upon the world of the true great and glad ti5- ings, and in closing made a personal appeal to those present to accept Him as Gods gift, even as did the shepherds of old. who went to see the Christ and then tcld others the wonderful story.
 The anthems in the morning were The Shepherds Vision, in which the soprano solo was given in especially good voice by Miss Martha l.. Brown. and Thee We Adore, rendered most harnoniously by the full choir, with alto and tenor solos. The organ post Jude, March of the Magi was a fitting close to the helpful service.
 In the evening there was cantata, A Night in the Orient, which was giv- en splendid musical interpretation by the chorus choir, the reading being by Mrs. George E. Manning. The working out of the theme in choruses, quar- tettes and solos was most successful, and was thoroughly appreciated by those present.

First conareaationaI Church.

At the First Congregational church Sunday the sermon by the pastor, Rev. G. H. Ewing, the singing, and about the church evergreens frightened with the red of the Christmas bells-aH were in the spirit. of the day commemorated. On either side of the pulpit were fir trees, from the shining star high above the organ the ground pine extended gracefully to the pillars, round which it was twined, the whole effect about the pulpit being like a scene from nature
 The harmony and melody of the an them, To Bethlehem Hasten, by Lam sing was deepened by the beauty Of the soprono voice. In the soprano solo by Miss Ruth L. Potter.., The Hush of Night Hath Fallen, the passing from the sweet and low notes to the higher ones of praise to God f=~ His great gift impressed those who listened. Tn the anthem, For Unto You a Child is Born, the rendering by the quartet brought out the gla1ness and trium7 of the song. The organ prelude postlude were fitting commenceme and close to a programme of mus heard.
 There was special preparation for and successful carrying out of the evenings well selected musical programme.
 The pastor took for his text "F'or unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour which is Christ the Lord.' The message of the angels brought to this group of shepherds Christ is bringing today to groups of people like minded to Himself. to the weary, to the poor, to the sufferer. We here are of these various groups, and we can go on our way saying Gods best gifts are ours the unspeakab1e gift is ours. The truth was brought out that though Christ was born In Betlle hem, unless He is born in you He is not your King.
 The mastership of Christ includes His care over us, our keeping in touch with Him, His sympathy, a guiding control, a moulding power, till we are meet for the Masters use. Christ came from heaven to earth to live a life of sacrifice, to be the Saviour of the lost, the perishing, to call back from death tn in liar

OBITUARY.
Henry Skinner.

The death of Henry Skinner occurred at his home, on the Scotland road, at midnight Dec. 20, after extreme suffer ing from heart trouble. He was Born in New York city. the son of MT. and Mrs. Samuel Skinner. His early years and young manhood were passed there, and a few years spent in the west be- fore coming to Brooklyn, Conn. He followed the trade of carpenter and was thorough and skillful in his work. While living in Brooklyn, 54 years ago he married Miss Jane Grant.
 Over forty years ago they removed to Norwich Town, where they have since resided. In the home MT. Skinner was devotion itself, a staunch and true friend, one of the kindest of neighbors, living quietly and unobtrusively. His character and life allied themselves up- on the side of those forces which work for the betterment of communities, and to lose such a one from our midst is to lose a power for good.
 Some few years since he was a con- stant attendant at the First Congrega- tiona1 church. The oldest son, Charless died about four years ago. Besides his wife, MT. Skinner leaves three daGgh- ters, Mrs. E. G. Northrop of Stonfng- ton, Mrs Frank Clifford of New London and Mrs. John Kilroy of Yantic, and a son, Frank A Skinner of Norwich Town. There are six grandchildren.
