Christmas at St. Edwards.

Christmas, the beautiful festival Of
our Redeemer's nativity, is here again
to scatter the universal blessings of
joy and happiness. It is essentially a
religious feast as it's name implies,
leading US in spirit to the divine babe
at Bethlehem and bidding us remember
the higher blessings that His coming
bestowed on all mankind.
At St. Edwards church it will be
celebrated with all possible solemnity.
The sacred edifce is decorated with
flowers and evergreens as on no other
occasion and special Christmas music
will be rendered by the choir under the
leadership Of Mrs. c. A. Galley. A
miniature form of the cave Of Bethle-
hem with it's shepherds and sacred per-
sons will be in evidence to rejoice the
hearts Of young and old.
Three masses will be celebrated on
that day. The first mass, from which
the word Christmas has come down to
us by tradition, will take place at 6
o'clock in the morning, followed i'm
mediately by a low,mass. The third
mass will be solemnized at St. Francis
church, Greenbush. Sermon on deeper
meaning of Christmas. Everybody is
invited to attend these services.
