 IN CHRIST CHURCH.
Holy Communion to Be Celebrated To.
 morrow Morning.

There will be a special celebration ot the holy communion in Christ church Tuesday morning at ' o'clock in recog- hilton of Registration day and it's cal to the service and devotion of the people.
 On Sunday Rev. R. R. Graham, the rector. read the following notice in connection with the day:
 This will be, perhaps the most sig niflcant day in the history of our coufl- try than any of us can remember. Our young men, the pride and hope of our land, are to be called upon to enroll themselves for it's defense. and for the maintenance of the great principles for which we believe we stand. I therefore ask you to conSecrate the early hours of the day to prayer to Almighty God for His blessing on those who may be drafted for active service; for those who though not drafted are called upon to serve in other ways; for those in authority. and for citizens so that all may realize their responsibilities and share the burden that should be borne by all.
 I am aware that for some the hour may not be convenient. but have chosen 1t because it is the hour when the registration begins. so that our prayers may ascend to God as the young manhood of the country is ded- icating itself to her service
 I urge you to make some sacrifice of your ease and ordinary habits so as to join in this service of prayer and consecra ton.
