CHRISTMAS AT THE CHURCHES.
LUTHERAN CHURCH.
At seven o'clock on Christmas morn
ing the choir will render the cantata,
"The Prince of Peace," by Mrs. E. L.
Ashford. This cantata opens with a
prelude by the organ and orchestra.
The voices then sing of the goodness of
God and His mercy toward His chosen
people. Then the bass sings the proph
ecy of the coming o tho king, who
shall Bave his. people from their sins.
The tenor sings praises to the Virgin
Mother and the alto to the town of
Bethelhem.
In the second part, the male voices
take up tho subject of the birth of
Christ, of the star, and the journey of
the magi. The annunciation to the
hepherds and message of the angels is
sung by the Boprano, followed by the
song of glory by the voices of the ladies
and men alternately, ending with the
final hallcluia by all of the voices and
instruments.
This cantata contains more than the
usual number of solos, duets and quar
tettes, with enough numbers by the
chorus to give depth and richness to
the whole. It is very beautiful, and
with the steady and consistent practic
nc done by the choir, will bo maue a
fit beginning for this glorious day.
The regular order of morning wor
ship will be used at this service and
familiar Christmas hymns will be sung
In the evening at 6:30, the Sunday
