There will be i special Christmas
service at 6 o'clock in the morning on
Christmas day, with Il special sermon
and d 50. emn celebration Of the Holy
Communion.
Two instructive sermons marked
the events Of last Sunday at ST. Mar.
garet's. AT II a. m. the vicar
preached from the Deutero-Isaiah.
aAll we like sheep have gone astray.
We have followed every one in his
own way But the Lord hath laid on
him the iniquity Of as all The sub
iect of the sermon was Vicarious
Punishment The innocent paying for
the guilty The justice Of the method
was based upon the law Of association
and heredity, spiritual ais well as
physical The unfo.dment presented
was unique III that it made every man
and woman responsible for the iniqu-
ity of those related to him and to her,
whether by blood relationship or by
social or community relationship.
The great fact pointed out was that
If Jesus Christ, IN the prototype Of
the great suffering servant did bear
the iniquity Of the world, and we to-
day as Christians are committed to-
follow Him IN all things, then we
naturally must fiji in our time like
position of bearing and injured
innocence. Bear Il all, we must and |
sheeffully and prayerfully. The wide
ramifeation Of the Sin-Power, touch
ing anu affecting all men was the
cause the temporary agreeable pas
sure, which drew all men from Christ
the Shepherd who nevertheless
bears the punishment Of our sins.
What can we do to show our graft
tude? But have we any to show?
2. The afternoon subject were the
mottos 81 three armies in Europe
Carry On Of the English army;
They shall not pass Of the French
army The third motto is that 81 the
Negro army IN France. The white
American soldiers IN France had no
one motto worth its salt. 1t was left
% the Negro American Army to in
vent a motto to insti! duty, and move
decision: Let's Co IS that motto
The mottos were translated to-
Christian use by tho Vicar and rec
commended as fit phrases to move the
Christian soldier to perform his
work for God and his fellowmen,
