The, 1 church is always beautifully decorat- j 1 ed on this day and at one of the side' ' altars a crib is erected wherein rests ; 1 an image of the Infant Jesus. Stand- 1 ing by the crib are three small statues representing the Three Kings from the East, while at the top of the manger a star signifies the location of the birthplace of the Infant Jesus. The altars j look like a burning mass of candles. I ] so beautifully are they decorated with , the burning lights. ] As has been the custom for a number ; of years the members of the congre- ( gation will receive Holy Communion in a body, either at the five o’clock ( or at the seven-thirty mass. On j j Christmas day the privilege is grant-! ed to the priests to say three masses I j and beginning at five o’clock a solemn I ( high mass will be said, a low’ mass at seven-thirty and another solemn high mass at nine-forty-five. Masses will also be said in between the regular scheduled masses, nine masses in all being said on this day. As Christmas day is the day of all days for charity, the annual collection for the Orphans will be taken up at the three regular ihasses. The children and young folks of the Baptist Sunday school will give the cantata “Here Comes Christmas,” Monday evening at 7:30 o’clock. As the Christmas gates are opened by the two heralds, all the different things that help make Christmas are represented by the children and pass through the tiny snow-flakes Christmas bplls candles, wood-choppers, yule-log and last the “Spirit of Giving.” The character of “Willie Wood” idds much humor to the cantata.
