All gwed intently and admiringly upon the lovely object for a few moments, vhai music, with its melodious swell, broke the spell that boujnd us. Prof. E.

Tie presentation having been com- pieted, we were again favored with *°®echoice music; after which tbe pastor made a short address, return- rag thanks to his people for their hnd remembrance, and also some appropriate remarks, directed more Particularly to the children, in regard to the day f the propriety of its reli- observance, aui| the great facts and truths associated with it, Hmi w hich should never be forgotten, ^interesting services of the day *cre closed with prayer, dosology, ai1 ^ ^nediction.

Among these i« reckoned Christinas as a day of yatiodnl km tivity to the church and the world, because on this day the universal Christian church, with fitting cvr* mouiea, celebrate* the birth «»f “a Saviour, which it Christ the Lord,* au occurrence of “gotnl tidings and of gnnt joy to all people* What more proper than that all, with suit ! able demonstrations of gratitude ami thanksgiving, should |m»> him reli gious homage and honor on the day of his amazing caadMonuioo ami deep humiliation, when be, “being iu the form of God, yet made him self no reputation, aod took ii|a>n him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men ; and being found in fashion as a mao, be humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even tbe death of the cross r It certainly wouli seem to lie m keeping with the religious fratmtiea of the day that the bouse of God should ha tastefully decorated with symbols of life—of life immortal In connection with consideration drawn from aeetbelieal fitness, I way name others of practical import. U ia good policy to have some object be^ire tht* church which im|MMies its exactions upou the resource* aud energies of a congregation. Under this treatment, its apirit, bone and muwcle are developed; amt of the two, it is far preferable that a eon gregatiou should wear out by exer vise (if such a thing were possible,; rather than rust out through sheer indole ace, or for lack of something to do. A congregation uniting from time to time in the prosecution of a laudable church enterprise, are great ly benefited by social contact and conversation, aud that myatemms principle of sympathy to which w» are all susceptible, and by which we are so powerfully affected.

Geo Ellers, N t These Christtuas exercises, wben eoodueted u|H»n the prmcipU * of a sound morality, (which they ever should b»?, or not at all.) exert a happy influence npon the church, the world, and especially the youth of a congregation and community. The world can not remain uuuu pressed w hen they liehold ihe Irieuifca of Christ abandon tbe areolar par suits of life and wend their way to tbe bouse of God, there to worship, in humble adoration, the Redeemer of the world, and listen to the thrilling story of his incarmttioii a* (he helpless babe iu tbe manger at Bethlehem. Christians realize that it is good to wait upon the laird iu his courts, and to contemplate the love of the Father in the gift of his only liegotten Hon as a ransom for sin. Here they find that the grace* of humility and love are purified, whilst meditating upou the life of him who was full of grace sud truth. And here, too, their hope is strength ened, that when he,who was once a feeble infant shall come again to judge the qnick and dead, they may be numbered with those on lu» right •* •- aVmiMftt, t W I).
