Topic of Sermon by Rev. A. G. Warner at Baptist Church 
Sunday. 
Rev, A. G. Warner preached a 
special Xmas sermon at the Baptist 
church, Manchester, last Sunday 
morning on “The Sign of Christmas.” 
He said in part: “The miracles of 
God in nature pass before us so si- 
lently that few recognize them at all 
and very few realize, even in part, 
their grandeur. So it was at Bethle- 
hem when the Saviour was born. 
Jerusalem, a few miles away, knew 
nothing of so great an advent and the

1122 Broapway, New York 
songs of the angels were heard only 
by the lowly shepherds on a neighbor- 
ing hill, Herrod, in his great palace 
near the Joppa gate, inside huge walls 
and frowning castles to guard him 
from his people with sparkling foun- 
tains and flowing waters and shady 
groves, making a Paradise within 
and with grand halls filled with 
Oriental magnificence, wth crowds of. 
officials and hosts of armed men, 
fancied himself supreme in the land. 
“But the babe in the manger at 
Bethlehem was destined to find an 
everlasting kingdom which would 
one day be world wide, a kingdom 
the steps of whose throne were right- 
eousness, peace and joy. Let us 
thank God that we glory in the birth 
of the Prince of Peace and follow 
his pure flag of eternal love 
“The true keeping of Christmas is 
the realization of the great love that 
brought us salavation and left us the 
example of a divine life that we 
should repeat it with God’s help in all 
our relations to God and to our fel- 
low men. Where love reigns it knows 
no intermittent glow, but gilds the 
whole year. Christmas thoughts and 
affections make our spirits a land of 
the unsetting stn, its brghtness and 
its warmth spreading a_ softened 
glory over all the world. In every 
aspect it glories in the birth of the 
babe at Bethlehem as the supreme 
event in the history of our race. 
“To be like Christ we mist carrv 
our religion into all the relations of 
life. The life of our community, so 
far as it is affected by our influence, 
will move on a higher plane when we 
consecrate ourselves to this Christmas 
love, realizing the song of Bethlehem, 
‘Glory to God in the highest, peace 
on earth and good will to man; good 
will that means self-sacrifice to raise 
and help the whole community. 
Ought not this be our ambition, with 
Christmas hearts n our houses as 
husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, 
brothers and sisters, and that all the 
year round? 
“The message on the lips of the 
angels was peace. That was: the 
meaning of the coming of the child 
of Bethlehem. ‘loward that ideal a 
troubled world has been striving ever 
since. Its attainment has been sought 
by pressure from above in the relax- 
ation of all bonds of law and con- 
science. But the message of the an- 
gels and the message of Chrst alike 
found possibility of fulfillment only 
in the workng together of God’s good 
will and that of man, 
“Let men feel toward each other 
as God felt when he gave his son for 
redemption, and peace will sveedily 
come to society. The deeper thought 
of Christmas takes account with lov- 
ing gratitude of the good will and 
peace which Jesus brings. The ad- 
vent of Christ is the pledge of our 
deliverance from the power of sin in- 
to the freedom of the sons of God.”

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Melvin moved 
this week to Washington, D. C. for 
the winter. 
The Girls’ club held a very success- 
ful “Snipping Party” in the Chapel 
of the Baptist church Tuesday even- 
ing. Each member was supposed to 
bring some gift for another girl and 
these were suspended from a pole. 
The girls were blind-folded as they 
approached the mysterious collection 
of gfts, scissors in hand, and “snip- 
ped” off a prize. Some very anus- 
ing complications arose, but all had 
a joyous time. Games were played 
and refreshments were served during 
the evening. 
There are seven spruces in the 
United States. Four are confined to 
the west; two to the east; while one, 
white spruce, has a continent-wide 
distribution. 
Florida buttonwood, a tree con- 
fined largely to the keys along the 
south coast, is very highly prized for 
use in cooking on ship’s galleys. It - 
burns slowly with an even heat and 
makes but little smoke or ash.
