John's Church This evening at 8 o’clock at St. John's Episcopal church, Third and Red Cross streets, a most beautiful and impressive service known as the ‘‘Feast of Lights,” will be given. 1, The age-old meaning of Epiphany will be told through the Old Tes tament prophecy of the birth of Christ, Mary’s song of triumph at the message of the angel Gabriel, the gifts of the Magi and finally the aged Simeon’s prayer of Thanksgiving in these words, | “Lord now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace.” As the Epiphany | story further unfolds the real mis sionary meaning is brought out by the spreading of Christianity from person to person as the darkened church breaks into light from hun dreds of candles. Music forms a beautiful background for this serv ice, although no attempt has been made for anything of an elaborate nature, only the old and familiar hymns, chants and carols, in which the choir and congregation join together with the strains of “We Three Kings of Orient Are,” sung I by the Wise Men, who enter the church, appropriately costumed and bearing gifts for the Infant King. The service ends with the recessional hymn, “Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning.” As previously announced Bishop Thomas H. Wright will have a part in the service. A cordial invitation is extended to all interested persons, especially to strangers to attend the “Feast of Lights” service tonight. RESEARCH TAX ON CROPS AUGUSTA, Me.
