ST M ARYS


 The Southside Neighborhood house children will find a beautiful Christ mas tree awaiting them next Friday afternoon at o'clock in the Sunday school rooms at St. Marys-on- the Highlands.
 They will find the true spirit of Christmas, too, when their little hosts of St. Marys Sunday school present them with the love gifts they have furnished for neighborhood house Christmas.
 The Christmas service of St. Marys on Christmas day will be featured with an exceptionally beautiful musical pro sramme, that under direction of Mrs, William Gussen will be rendered as follows: "Venite" (Chant). Ire Deum" (Calkins) "Jubilate" (Lyons). Offer tory, anthem, We Have Seen His Star" (Simper.
 Choir; Mrs. Wilburn Shackleford so- prano; Mrs. Herman Rich, alto MT, Carl Smith, tenor; MT. Cunning. bass; Mir. Lloyd St. John Smith, Mrs. Lloyd St. John Smith Miss Emily Williams, Mrs. J. w. McCants, MT Harry Burn Mrs. Harry Burn, Mir. Crockett, Mrs. Crock cit, Mrs. Nuns, MT. Kelly, Mrs. Schoemherr. Miss Helen Averett, Miss Elizabeth Turner, Miss Eloise Angel, Miss Iatltla McNeil, Mrs. Beall, MT. Edward Evans Mrs. Welton.
 A beautiful service of the Christmas season at St. Andrews Episcopal church, Eleventh avenue and Twelfth street, south, is the midnight festival communion. It begins at 11:30 D. m. on Christmas eve. In contrast with the downtown hustle and the confu- sion of household holiday preparation is the quiet of the church with it's ev- ergreen decorations and white hang 1ngs. Supplementing the usual light ing are many candles in the chancel. The music. Gounod's communion serv- Ice and traditional anthems and car ols such as Everywhere, Everywhere Christmas Tonight" Simper's We Have Seen His Star in the East" "Si- lent Night, Holy Night" Gounods "Cradled All Lowly," produce feeling of the hush and expectancy of a world awaiting the coming of God born in human flesh. There is only a very brief address. The solemn communion which follows is not merely a dedica- ton of self to God nor a mere com nemoration of the birth of the infant Jesus, but an opening of the hearts of the worshippers to receive the Incar- nate Lord, for whom there was no room in the Bethlehem inn.
 On Christmas Day there will be d communion service, without music and without sermon, at II o'clock, and on the next day, Sunday, at the same hour festival service for children
 On Thursday evening preceding Christmas there is the annual church school entertainment, at which each class contributes a programme about 10 minutes in length.
