A New York paper of Friday said:
 The hearings to determine the compe tency of Chandler N. Wayiand. wealthy New Yorker, proceedings for which were requested last month by his son, John Elton Wayland. were continued yesterday before Referee Thomas Keogh in the of fees of Jerome, Rand & Kresl, attorneys for the elder Wayland, at 37 Wall, street.
 The hearing was private, but one of those present said that a real estate operator named Robertson of Stonington and two coiored maids in the house of the elder Waylsnd at that place testified in support of the sons contention that his father is of unsound mind and unable to manage his own affairs Robertson. 1t is said. told of Mir Wayland's giving away numerous parcels of land to various persons in the locality. and one of the maids declared that her employer had given money away freely to his servants, and that he had been seen wearing a veil while riding in his automobile.
 The hearing of witnesses for the younger Wayland will be continued next Thursday, and later on testimony for the father will be given. In the meantime Mir Wayand ;s patient at the Riverdale sanatorium in Riverdale, where William g. Coffey, his attorney. had him removed from Bellevue hospital two weeks ago. LIT. fiuNluS Packarut QIeCtOF OI tIlt SdHd- torium, refused to discuss MT. Wayland' s condition yesterday.
 A person close to the Wayland family. who would not let his name be pub lished. said yesterd.v that Dr. Menas s. Gregory, head of the psychopathic ward at Bellevue hospital, and his assistant, Dr. Thornton, were among the witnesses to be called by the Wayland son. Neither physician would comment upon this statement but it was learned that Dr. Gregory has made a report to the court officials who ordered the hearings that in h.s opinion Mir. Wayland is not compe- ! tent.
 Chandler N. Wayland. who Is s1 years of age was summoned before Magistrate | Ryttenberg the day after Thanksgiving l by his son, the latter alleging in his com plaint that his father had written abu- | sive letters to him. The father in reply said that a project of his to pave the streets of Stonington, where one of his | residences is situated. was opposed by the son, who sought to have him arrested 10 interfere with it. Friends of the elder man say that he intended to spend S250,- | 900 for the street paving, and that his | son did not want so large a sum to pass | out of the family's holdings. On Nov. 2s | Justice Guy ordered the father comn1itted | to the psychopathic ward at Bellevue.

WE HAVE ACCESS TO. GOD ] THROUGH THE HOLY CHILD

At St. Andrews Episcopal church. on Central avenue the vested choir led the Christmas music which included While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night The First Noel, Silent Night, o, Little Town of Bethlehem, and It Came Upon the Midnight Clear. The service of shortened morning prayer and holy communion with a brief address by the rector, Rev. F. c. Williams, was held at 10.30 o'clock. In his Christmas address the rector said in part:
 In the fitness of time, when all things were ready, the Son of God became man, coming to earth in the form of a tender infant. All things were prepared-ths civilized world was at peace under the dominion of Rome-and there was a widespread longing for the desire of all nations-when the wonderful message was announced by the angels.
 From the writings of the apostle St. John. we lesvn that the Word is One Who was from eternity, Who was with God, Who was God, and yet St. John and others have heard Him, have seen Him with their eyes. have looked upon Him. and have handled Him. The Gospel is no philosophical invention; but it is the mystery of godliness, passing mans un- derstandfng and meeting mans deepest needs, especially that of access to God and communion with Him. Through the Holy Child, We have access to God and communion with Him. This is fact which no philoposhical denals can ef- feet.
 Review the facts of the first Christmas morn, and note the humility and lowli- ness of the birth. and the poverty and devotion of the shepherds to whom the angel announced the glad tidings. and who were the first worshippers at the manager cradle. From these facts, we learn of the exaltation of the humble and meek, and from the example of the Shep- herds, we see that heaven is always near the dutiful.
 The true glory of God Is manifested in peace toward men. God is not angry with men; but men have feared God and thought that He was angry. His love is shown in the gift of His Son
 An evening prayer and carol service was held at 4 o'clock. The church was beautifully decorated with evergreens and other Christmas decorations. The new chancel lights were used at this service for the first time Christmas books were given to the members of the Sunday school and boxes of candy to the chil- | dren. For perfect attendance during the 1 year prizes were given to Miss Elizabeth | Ibbetson and Miss Mary Prodell At mid. night Saturday there .v-as a special ser. vice, after which the members of the
 choir went through the streets singing 1 Christmas carols

handsomely decorated Christmas tree which had been placed in front of the al- tar. The tree was brilliant with tinsel, electric lights of various colors, and the conventional Christmas tree decora- tions.
 Rsv. MT. Graham, in his address, told of his Christmas of a year ago, when he attended the services in the little Ameri- can church in Nice in the south of France. He spoke of the custom in many of the European churches, especially the Roman Catholic churches, of symbolizing the adoration of Christ with the manager and the images of the Infant and the Magi.
 The musical part of the. service was devoted entirely to the old carols, the old familiar Christmas lays being sung by the choir and the Sunday school. Presents to each member of the Sunday school were gvien out from the pile at the base of the tree, and each member of the Sunday school received box of Christmas candy as well. There were also presents for teachers of the various Sunday school classes and officers of the tributed by MT. Graham, Walter B. Crooks and WillianiS R. Clark, superin- tendent of the Sunday school. Christmas Day Sermon. At the Christmas morning service, the | rector, Rev. Richard R. Graham took as his text, Luke 2: 10-11. In his sermon i Fev. MT. Graham said:
 I The Christmas message of the church I is the message of the Incarnation; that the Child of Mary, who was as at this | time born in Bethlehem was also the
 Only-begotton Son of God. The church
 also asserts that all those ideas of kind-
 Illness, fellowship, brotherhood which we
 rightly associate with the Christmas | season are the outcome of, and depend ent on, that conception of and belief | in the Fatherhood of God, and the broth
 erhood of men which owe their origin tc
 those who hold and teach that He whose 1 birth we commemorate was indeed | Christ, the Lord.
 The majority of those who celebrate Christmas, and many of those who arc most truly influenced by it's spirit fai i to see the connection between the doc Urine of the church and the practica
 blessings of Christmas; they are willing
 to come to the manager bed, but they dc
 not present their offerings to the Chil( who lies therein; they join, it may bt
 in the Christmas carols, and we vel
 come them by our side, while we our
 selves give fullest meaning to that an
 cient hymn of the church, Come, all y, faithful, joyful and triumphant. Come let us aoore Him, Christ the Lord"
