Christmas has been most joyful
with not a shadow to mar it's bless
edness. The day was ideal with it's
snow and rain and wind and cold
Eighteen attended the services at
1880 a, m. And there were sixty
odd at the eleven O'Clock service
The sermon text was: Glory to God
IN the Highest and on Earth peace,
good will among men Cor peace a.
mong men of good Will There was
the service; there was gladness in
everything. And the perfection of
the whole was ministered to by the
grace and tasteful beauty of the dec
orations of chancel and nave. Ger
tainly the workers who gave them
selves to that service exeelled their
past endeavors in what they achiev-
ed.
The music had been especially pre-
pared. The offertory, sung by Miss
Crosby, had not even been heard bv
the choir until it was rendered at
the Christmas service. The opening
anthem sung by the choir was bril-
liant. The music was repeated on
Sunday, and there was splendid
congregation. The text for the morn
ing was: THE Glory of the Lord
shall be Revealed and All Flesh Shall
see it Together" and at night. it
being st, Stephens day, the text
was; Stephen being full of the Holy
Ghost saw the Glory of God &c"
from Acts VII So.
The offering on Christmas day was
for the benefit of Infirm and Disabled
Clergy of the Diocese.
The service on Monday in memory
of st. John, and on Tuesday in mem
