The Christmas sermon of Rev. c. w.
Mock in the Congregational church
Sunday morning was very appropriate
and quite original. The text was:
"Thcrc was no room for them. There
is no longer an effort TO force Chris
tianity out of the world, but there is
no room. Art and science cannot find
room in the present day life for Chris
tianity. Christ is crowded out; there
is no room. Character is lost sight of
in man S effort to lift himself to attain
success. Men and women need to be
awakened. need to allow the voice Of
God to speak, the power of God to in
| hucncc them. Come to Christ; His is the
power to influence and bless and save
us. Is there room for the teaching Of
Christ in your heart Two male quartctS
were rendered delightfully."- by Messrs.
Hescock, Wiswall, Wright and Bruce,
Shine On Bright and Beautiful Star,
and JOY to the World, the Lord Is
Come.
