Religion in the Parlor.

Christianity does not lessen. but en-
larges the pleasures of the home and the
social life We have a beautiful illustra-
ton of this in the account given OF
Christs first miracle. He by His own
choice appeared at a social gathering. 1t
was a festal occasion. He heard the glad
strains of the nuptial music. He mingled
with the guests and His presence cast
no gloom over the festivities, but con-
tributed in a marked degree to the COM
fort and happiness of the assembled
friends ard neighbors.
When the wine. which was considered
essential to the occasion. failed He
promptly in the use of miraculous pow
err supplied the lack. He was not out of
place in that home or in that social gath
ering, for it is not possible for Him to
err. And it does not appear that any
who were present were sorry He came or
wished that He had stayed away. Had
He not come the wedding feast would
have been a sad failure and there would
have been humiliation and wretchedness
instead of the joy and gladness which
prevailed by reason of His gracious pres
ence.
This illustrates how it should be in
every home and in all the social life OF
the world: Christ an invited and welcome

rector of st. Matthew's parish Of Hyatts-
vile, and Rev. John NJ. E. Mckee. who
has charge of st. Johns Church.
The edifice was filled to the doors, the
afsles being crowded, and many were un-
able to secure admittance.
A mixed vested choir of seventeen voices
under the direction of Mr.. s. Finley Hayes,
with Mrs. Hayes at the organ, sang an
especially prepared program.
In his address the bishop congratulated
the congregation upon having erected the
church with funds raised by the fndi-
vidual efforts of the members. He said
this, in his Judgment, was preferable to
having one individual subscribe the en-
tire amount, which is frequently done
for churches.
The bishop before laying the corner
stone confirmed a class of seven, and a
window in the rear of the church. donat-
