First Congregational Church.
At the First Congregational church
divine services were held yesterday
morning at 7:30 o'clock. This was th
first earb' morning service held on
Christmas day In the Congregational
church of this city, and the nttondanc2
of yesterday, which was very large,
gives assurance of future services ot
this character. The pastor, Hew Mr.
Elliott, delivered a carefully prepared
sermon on "The Incarnation of God
in Christ." The sermon was a purely
theological presentation, proving the
fact of the word being made flesh and
that Christ was either divine or like
other men He was not good. The ser
mon showed deep study, and like the
one of Sunday night, lias received
wide commendation.
As a concluding thought, Mr. El
liott said: "We are sitting here on
the anniversary of our Lotd's birth,
and only a few days before the close
of the century. In the nineteen cen
turies that have elapsed since Christ
was born Chrlstlnnlty has left Its im
print upon the face of tho earth to
,an extent that even defies supersti
tion. The closing century has grasped
its oportunity, and the sweep of the
ChiHtian religion has been far in
excess of all other religions combined.
The world Is better, and men are com
ing into closer union, Only a few
more steps and denominatlonallsm,
sectionalism, dogmatism, ,'eccleslastl
cism will be swept nsldo and In their
stead will be erected a broad, liberal
creed, based upon love to Christ and
love to man."

Tonight the Sunday school ichlldivn
of the Congiegatlor.al church will have

THE NEW CHURCH.
The First Masses Said In the New'
Church of Our Lady of Mount Car
met. Tho first service In tho new churcfl
of Our I-aady of Mt. Carmel, erected
by the Italian Catholics of this city,
wns tho midnight mass, -which began
ut 12 o'clock Monday night. The ser
vices were held in tho basement of the
building, the church proper not being
ready for occupancy. The Interior had
been lavishly trimmed with evergreen
and other decorations nnd under tho
Illumination of tho incandescent lights
and altar caudles presented a very
pleasing appearance. By tho time set
for the opening of the services tho
room had been comfortably filled, there
being In the congregation many mem
bers of St. Iloso church and others.
The mass was said by Itev. Anthony
Cerrull, tho pastor of tho church. Ho
was assisted by a young man named
Caterlno, of Archbald, who Is a theo
logical student nt Allegany college.
Tho choral parts of the mass were ren
dered by members of St. Rose's choir,
who had kindly volunteered to assist
In the Christmas and opening services
of tho new church. The singers were
Misses Nellie and 'Maine Klllcen, Mary
McCawley, Josephine Bradley, Gertrude
WIseley, Emma Swartz and Katie
Flannelly. Prof. John Firth, presided
at tho organ. The various selections
wero very nicely rendered and reflect
ed .creditably on tho ability of the
singers. Father CeYrutl spoke a. few
words of thanks to tho singers and
to the congregation and tnen delivered
a sermon on "The Nativity," In the
Italian language. The midnight mass
lasted until about 1.30 a. in.
Yesterday morning at 10.30 o'clock
high mass was celebrated. Father
Cerrutl, assisted by Mr. Caterlno, offi
ciated. Tho same members of St.
Rose's choir who sang at the early
service wero also present at the high
mass, and in the Instrumental accom
paniment Prof. Firth was assisted by
Flore Brothers' orchestra of Scranton.
Tho service was one of oven greater
interest than tho one preceding It and
tho congregation was limited only by
the capacity of tho room.
The erection of the pretty new
church building reflects great credit
upon the congregation and in their ef
forts toward the religious upbuilding of
the Carbondale Italians, 'Father Cer
rull and his supporters should receive
the hearty encouragement of the pub
lic. When the new church is complet
ed and ready for dedication, which
will be some time about Easter, a
more elaborate service will be ar
ranged. Tho main room, or auditor
ium, of the building will be given es
pecial attention and every effort will
be made to make tho edifice a credit
not only to tho Italian residents of
Carbondale, but to the city.
