morning. Mr.. Firmin said. and when the
post offices quit deliveries Saturday
night they were clear and free. There
has been no glut OF letters and packages
here, and Mr.. Firmin attributes much OF
the satisfactory condition OF things to
the manner In which the public re-
sponded to newspaper appeals to rlau
Christmas packages early.
There are beIated Christmas letters
and parcels every year and the carriers
will start out tomorrow morning with
heavy loads, It IS expected, but there rs
no reason, the postal officials feel. why
there should be the slightest delay either
to-day or tomorrow. The work accom-
plished Friday and Saturday has OBJ
Waited all danger Of trouble.
In addition to the $4,000 regular postal
employees In the city Postmaster Nor.
gan has had force OF $500 extra clerks
and carriers at work. From $50 to zoo

Domestic money orders have shown an
increase OF Is per cent. over last year.
More than 100000 were issued Satur-

Mr.. Firmin commended the public for
the additional care shown this year in

packages and in correctly addressing let
ters. Fifteen per cent. fewer letters will
find their way 10 the dead letter office

A sermon on the meaning OF Christ
mas Day and OF the good that would
come into the world II men would
carry throughout the year the spirit of
the Christ Child's birthday was de-
iivered by Bishop William Thomas
Manning at the morning service yes
terday In Grace Episcopal Church.
Tho Christmas spirit Is, after all.
tho true Christian spirit" Bishop
Manning said. '.rhe thing that makes
Christmas SO wonderful Is that for a
few hours we set ourselves to be real
Christians. Christmas comes and lifts
,is for brief time into an atmosphere
of fellowship and care and interest In
each other and into tho love and
brotherllness In which we ought
always to live.
christmas Day tells of the place
that belongs to Jesus Christ in the
home. Christmas is the day OF the
family. 1t reminds US that Jesus. the
Son Of God, came from heaven and
entered into the life OF human home
and sanctified forever all our family
ties and relationships. The holiest
and most sacred thing on earth, the
most beautiful. is the Christian home.
the home where Jesus Christ has a
recognized and rightful place.
1--WE do not want gloom and repression
and restraint in homes. That Is not the
effect Of Christ's presence anywhere, IL
faith In Him be living and real. We
want homes where there is love and Joy
and freedom and sympathy and strength
TO meet the trials and difficulties when
they come, because Jesus Christ Is there.
"If Christ had place In our homes
there would be fewer homes without chill
dren, and the tragedy Of divorce and OF
remarriage, which Is now reaching q.
point that threatens to- break down the
( whole fabric Of life, would not exist. For
the sake Of the home, for the sake OF
our country. we must bring Jesus Christ.
the Son OF God, back into the place that
belongs to him In American homes.
1.-THE whole situation In the world to-
day is showing that we must bring the
spirit OF Jesus Christ to bear on civiliza-
tion II It Is to be preserved and saved.
If we can bring the whole world to
grasp the meaning OF the words Of St
John and believe them we should not
need peace societies or limitation OF arm
