CHRISTMAS IN THE CHURCHES

Imposing Services and Ap- propriate Sermons,

Special Music Befltting the S3ason —Handsoms Decorations.

The services in the churches of Char- lottetown this Christmas were of an especi ally bright and pleasing character, and were edifyingto the large congregations assembled. The decorations were in keep- ing with the joyous season, and the ser- mens dealt with the important epoch in the world’s history that was being cele= brated.

BAPTIST CHURCH,

At the Baptist charch yesterday, Christma was obser v- ed, There was an appropriate |

sermon in the morning by Pastor Corey in which the Rev. gentleman referred to the contrast between tho hmble birth of

the Lord of Christmas and the great work He came upon earth to perform. He also showed the wide

spead observance of the fact the angels sang about on the first Xmas morn, when over the whole christian world Bethlehem’a Saviour ie acknowledged a Lord of all when is written Anno Domini. The Xmas anthem by the choir was rendered in their usual good style.

ST. PETER'S.

The Christmas decorations, this year, are tasteful and beaatiful, though not so elaborate as in some former years. Holy OCommunion was celebrated on Christmas morning at 7.15, 8, and 11 o’clock. The music at the latter service was beautiful, reflecting credit upon the organist and choir, and the sermon by the Rev. James Simpson. M.A., was appropriate to the season. The collections amounted to about $130, a good!y proportion of which goes to the poor fund.

Yesterday the services referred to the martyrdom of St. Stephen as well as the virth of the Saviour. At the forenoon service the Rev. W.J. Cox preached his first sermon,—a suggestive and excellent discourse appropriate to the season.

FIRST METHODIST CHURCH.

The Christmas services in the First Methodist Church this year were ofa high order of excellence. At the Saturday morning service the pastor, Rev. G. M. Campbell, aelivered an able and eloquent discourse befitting the occasion, and the choir, under Mr. Earle’s direction, ren- dered aehoice programme ina splendid manner. The service on Sunday morning was taken by Rev. R. Opie, of Little York,

who preached asplendid sermon. At the Sunday évening service the Christmas music was rendered, and it was greatly appreciated. Tae various

vocal numbers were given with much ability, and the instramental music was in keeping. The soloists were Miss Collings, Miss Earle, Mies Webster, Mr. Davison and Mr. Moore. The organ voluntaries were especialy well rendered. Al! the services were well attended.

GRACE CHURCH.

Two splendid congregations assembled in Grace Church yesterday to participate m the Xmas services. There being no Service on Xmas day the theme of this harpy auniversary was the subject ef the services. The pastor preached aa appro priate sermonip the morning from Luke 1i—13-14—dealing with the song of the angel choir—The three notes of the Anthem being—I, Glory to God —TI, Peace on Eartb- I{I, Good will towards men. The church choir was assisted at both services by twenty of the sweet eiagers from the Sabbath School. The singing of these little ores, and the beautiful blend- ing of their voices with those of the choir was very much appreciated. The anthems by the senior choir were ex-~ ceptionally good

At the evening service, the Pastor preached on “Retrospection,” taking for his text the words from Luke xvi. 25, “Son Remember” reviewing the Divine dealings during the year. The children again assisted the choir, and the singing was even better than that of the morning. Tbe arthem by the senior choir was quite new, imported especially by the choir for this service, and was very excellent. The day’s services closed with a very enjovable prayer meeting. A collection for the poor of over $10 was taken over and above the usual church offerings.

ZION CHURCH,

No Christunas service was held in Zion Church, but both the sermons of yesterday

the seekers—the star, which like all the

points to God—the search of the seekers, character'zd by earnestness and reverence, two qualities iuseparable from all search after truth and God —and the worship of

will bow in homage before Him who once was the Babe of Bethlehem, and indicative of all true worship inasmuch as it did aot CGusist in mere eentiment but expressed its-lf in gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. The true worship of the Cbristmas season lave at the feet of Christ the gifts of a loving beartand a consecrated Jife. In the evening the pastor preached from 1 Samuel, vii, 12., calling uoon the con- gregation to devote the closing service of the coming Sabbath of the year to erecting

an Ebenezer for the blessings of the year swiftly ebbing to its close. He dwelt

upon the national blessings for which we ought to be thankful to the Ruler of Nations, and for the personal blessings which sweeten and strengthen life. The choir rendered beautiful and impressiye Christ- mas music at both services.

ST. JAMES’ @HURCH.

The eervice at St. James’ Church oa Christmas morning was bright with Christmas music under the direction ef Mr. Beli, and an eloquent sermon from

Rev. Mr. Fullerton in which after picturing the celebration which takes place at this season pot

only at Bethlehem but throughout the Christmas world, he pointed out the meaning of God becoming incarnate in humanity, closing with an Christ appeal for the manifestation of the church spirit in the partcf his bearers by efforts to brighten the homes of those who were lese favoured thao themselves. A liberal collection for the poor was taken up.

On Snnday evening Mr. Fallerton re- viewed the past year with special reference to his own congregation, referring touch- ingly to the «sickness and bereavment which had visited so many homes—the congregation having lost a larger nu'nber by death and removal from the city than in any vear of its history during Mr. Faller- ton’s pastorate.

Appropriate music was rendered by the choir, and a Chri-tmas solo sung by Mr. George Dixon.

ST. PAUL’s.

The Christmas services in St. Paul’s were as usual most impressive and devo- tional, and were earnestly entered into by a large congregation. The music, under the direction of Miss Ella Palmer, showed her ever excellent taste. The Te,Deum and anthem were especially beautiful, and were most impressively sung. A golo in the anthem was mosi touchingly rendered by Master Fred. Worth. Afl the .people seemed to heartily welcome once more the dear old Christmas hymns of the Church of England. Mies Hill presided at the organ with her usual force and ability, her musical expression of the many parts being much admired. The sermon was preached by the Rector from St. Luke, ii, 14, with special reference to the “Peace” which the incarnation of God brings to reankind. A large number remainec to obey Christ’s command in partaking of the communion of His Body and Blood,

On Sunday morning the Christmas music was repeated, and the sermon preached by the Rector from S. Luke 2, 12, dwelling ina striking manner upon the “sign” of the babe, ‘as a sign thai (a) would be univer-aily understood, (b) 1s intended for all without respeet of persons, (c) briogs ai] men back to the equality of childhood and forms a basis for the brotherhood of man, (1) shows the nature of the christian religion aad the christian life. (e) isa sign that ia ‘ap ken against’ — by those who denv to infancy visible membership in the Kingdom of God,—by those who try to save maa by culture and worldly wisdom alone, -b- those who depreciate the “‘sigas” Christ gave as pledges of His inward and spiritual grace, and substitute more popular signs of their own invention, allowing the sacraments of Christ to be His commend and yet holding them uunecessary to salvation, and teach - ing by practice that the aposties were wrong in “breaking bread” so often as the first day of every week,

&T. DUNSTAN’S CATHEDRAL.

he celebration of the Feast of the Nativity in the new St. Danatan’s Cathe- dral began at midnight on Friday, and the other services were at the same hours as on Sunday. At the midnigh’. mass the congregation was exceptionally large, taxing the seating capacity of the splendid new edifice. Pontifical High Mas: was celebrated by the Lord Bishop of Char- lottetown. Rev. Peter Curran was High Priest, Rev. Dr. Monaghan Deacon cf Honor, Rev. J. K. Jobnoston Snb-deacon of Honor. Rev Dr Curran Deacon of Office and Rey. Fb. C. Gauthier Sub-deacon of Office. The ceremonies were directed by Rev. Ignatius Macdonald. After the first Gospel Very Rev. Dr. McMillan, of Cardi- gan Bridge, ascended the pulpit and delivered an able and eicqvent sermon appropriate to the occasion, during the course of which fitting reference was made to the fine new Catoedra! just opened for the worship of Almighty God. — The musical portion of the service was ' under the direction of Mr. 8. Blanchard, the efficient leader of the Cathedral choir. Mr. Vinvicombe’s eplendid orchestra a: sisted the choir on the occasion, and Prof. Gallant, of St. Dunstan’s College, presided at the organ. The programme will be found below : — Processional March.....+.....+0++++ Orchestra Introit—Puer Natus Est..........Pustet.

Every number on the programme waa rendered in that excellent manner char acteristic of the Cathedral choir; and the instrumental accompaniments were io keeping. The solos by Mrs. Byrne, Mrs. Blake and Miss Benoit were splendidly taken, as was also the trio by Miss Smith and Messra. Caven and Hermans,

‘The decorations were in excellent tas‘e, and greatly aimired. The main altar never looked brighter or better than it did onthe occasion, and the transparency acroes the front of the sanctuary attracted much attention. The transparency was emblematic of the Sacred Heart. In the arch surmounting the Sacred Heart were the words “Gloria in Exelsis Deo,” to the right ““Venite Adoremus” and to the left “Adeste Fidelis.” The whole was surmounted by the Star of Bethlehem. At the opening words of the Gioria the electric light was turned oo and the effect ov the transparency wae grand. The front of the ga)lerics were ornamented with crosees and wreaths of spruce, and the y;illare were also decorated with the same material.

Rev. Dr. Morrison’ preached at the half-past ten serviee. His sermon was able, eloquent and inetructive.
