In Honolulu, ho had found soven races working together harmoniously, and there would be no reason for friction if they would learn that the answer to the kindness of their Saviour, was kindness to one another.

A forceful Christmas Day talk was given by the Lord Bishop of London, the Right Rev. Dr. Win- nington Ingram, to a crowded con- gregation at St. John's Cathedral on Saturday, when he made an earnest plea for more serious and better sustained Church-going...

THE SERMON.

The Lord Bishop took as his text Titus, Chapter III, v. 4 "And after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared.", He said if they wanted to express in a simple ser- tence thereal-

message of Christmas, they could not find any thing better than that text. He went on to refer to the dreadful clouds that existed before the first Christmas Day, and the fear of death that prevailed; also the extraordinary conception of God which people had. They thought somehow that He was a jealous God. There were other weird ideas of God, which tended to lower the whole standard of life, which always led to a low moral life. He cited Russia as an example and pointed to the stan- dard of living in that continent since the leaders had endeavoured to stamp out Christianity. It was wrong even to be properly married there, and the law of free love was saved by the instinct of the women of Russia in the last few months. Marriage was regarded as a mere convenience for a month or two arid moral purity was laughed at Such dark clouds would always be manifest if they tried to lower the idea of God.
