The Norwalk Congregational church
is prettily decorated with evergreens
, and potted plants. Yesterday morning
a large congregation was present to 1111-
ten to the Christmas music and a Christ-
massermon by the pastor, Rev.T. K. No
his. He toolt for his text Luke 11., 10.11.
His theme was "The Message of the
Angels to the Shepherds. "Picturing the
sharp contrast between life today and
life béfore the advent, he pointed out
what the message of the angel meant to
the inslalei, to the impoverished, to
womanhood, childhood, and to man as
man. In the evening the large audi-
torium was packed and fully three hun-
dred people were turned away unable’to
gain entrance to the church. The can- ‘9
111111 "The Coming of the King" was
irably rendered and greatly enjoyed.

South Namath congregational.
The Christmas services in the South
Norwalk Congregational church were of
an unuspally interesting character. Tire
music was finely rendered by the large
chorus choir,with Mrs. A. F. Wheelcrus
soloist. Organist Humiston's selections
were very artististic, and his direction
of the singers excellent. The church
was decorated with trees. holly and
ground pine, and beautiful cut flowers.
At the morning service the pastor rend
the following letter:

To the Congregational Church in South

The large success that has attended
your presorivng and self denying efforts

-‘ “to convey to you the grew
satisfaction it grves to us to know
that so soon you are to be free of debt.
Please accept ourcon tul‘11tions.You
have set an exam lot at ought to stim-
ulate and help 0t ers to work and win,
and abhieve as you have done. We re
joice in your prosperity and 1111. enrnost-
ly pray that the favor and rich blessings

South Norwallr Methodist.
This church. which has always had 11
reputation for its celebration services
and exercises, ontdid itself yesterday in
everything that pertained to the Occas-
ion. The decorations, which were
under the direction of B. M. An~
drews, wore of an appropriate character,
and made peculiarly so by their simplici‘
ty,oonsisting entirely of nature's season-
1' able production. A very strong and
pretty effect was given to the whole by
the wordfilnrmauuel" in incandesccut(
lights over the pulpit. The .111usic
throughout the day was as given in the
programme published last Friday, and
nothing could have better fitted the 111:—
casion or been rendered in a more crotl-
itable manner. It was a programme
that afl'orded the members of the choir
an opportunity for their best work, and
this was shown. Mr. Comatock‘ has 11
conception of church music that gives it
11 special charm by its appropriateness
and religious character, ovory selection
serving as just the right auxiliary to
.the whole sorvice. Yesterday's selec-
tions entitled each member of his quark”
tette to the highest commendation‘s.
The only addition to the choir was
Charles A. Frwman, leader of the Phil-,
harmonic orchestra, who accompanied
in the vocal numbers and played in the
"offertory organ and violin duets. The
term “sweet” may be a hackneyed 01111.
but it was the general one used by those
whoheard him to express their comment.
He will be heard again next Sunday
at both services. Tho ovening service
will be csmdally musical. .

men could not but be impressed by it.
Mr. Norris’ text was from Ezekiel ii.,l:
"And he said on me, son of man stand
upon thy eet. and I will speak unto
them." A nony other things he said:
Here is a message pluin‘and simple.
What shall we do with it? Perhaps. just
like the prophet of old, every man here
present has had visions. You have
thought of the future and have had great
ambitions. But just 1111 11111111 as you have
had those visions, just so sure you have
boon spurred on to grinder etYorts. You
have nocivod the command to riso,1nako
ready for duty, and I will speak unto
thee. We are not all laboring for self.
There is no organization that realizes
this more than the organization which
you roprewnt, For are you not banded
togethor toprotoot the property of your
brother men? Do you not risk your own
life, if licencsarn'y, for their 11111111? Thor-11-
lorr'1 you can realize the {1 11-1111 111 this that
we. are not laboring for self all the 1111111.

not 11111191111111! at \1'11111'11 for. What
is this little bundle of humanity we
call soli’, you 11111;. If you stand on 11111
sunny mountain top and gaze out 11111 111
the world and at. the stars above. you
say I 11111 greater than those. Why am
lgroator': 811111111511 111.111 say. 'I will.‘
There's :1 tronnndous power in 1111151-
two words, 'I will.‘ "
