THE CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL
All Saints’ Church was beautifully decorated for the Christmas Festival, and the early services well attended. More communicants attended the altar than on any previous Christmas Festival there being the record number. As the celebrations are the chief services for this festival the result shows that there is a deeper understanding in the keeping of Christmas, and that it is something more than a public holiday. The evening service was not so well attended, but the service was particularly bright. The choir rendered very efficiently the beautiful anthem, I 'O Zion that Bringeth Good Tidings.” The vicar preached on the purpose of the Incarnation and the birth into this world of the Eternal Word. The Festival will be continued tomorrow and the anthem repeated in the evening.
