UNIQUE SERVICE AT
 TRINITY CHURCH


 A unique ceremony at the service at Trinity Church Sunday evening was the blessing Of the two new Tall Altar Lights, for use during the Celebration of the Holy Eucharist; symbolzing Christ as the Light of the World in His two.fold nature. human and di- vine.
 The two candlesticks are beautiful specimens Of the craftsman's art, and are about 20 inches high, smoothly wrought In brass, with large bases and bosshes. They are given as to a memorial to Mrs. Sarah Frauc.s Joy. by her daughter Mrs. Cobb.
 The whole service. including the us- ual order and special vesper hymn, and Ofiertory solo (Gouncd's Nazar- eth) by Mir. Engberg, which was most touch'ngly rendered, was most inspir- ing and greatly enjoyed by congrega- ton that filled every seat in the build 'Ig.
 The sermon was one that should have appealed to an mon of high standards, the absolute fallacy that wrong or evil can be truly successful or prostqble. and the inevitable vic. tory of right and truth, the universal law Of the one kingdom O. God in heaven and on earth.
