guished. Led by the choir, the procession began to move down the main aisle. The "Three Wise Men." the "Twelve Apostles," the clergy and Bishop Stires came in order These were followed by the congregation which stepped out of the pews in turn. After making a complete circuit of the church the congregation passed through the doors out into the street where they endeavored to keep the candles burning. Some were extinguished at the tint breath of wind, but others, carefully shielded, lasted to the end of the block.

The service was Interspersed with readings from the Bible by the Rev. Mr. Dorrance, and hymns sung by the congregation. St Ann's aroused much interest a year ago by presenting this service, which is given rarely. A slow procession of persons carrying lighted candles moved carefully down the steps of St.

Ann's P. E. Church at Clinton and Livingston sts. late yesterday afternoon, marking the close of the annual "Service of Lights." The service opened with an inspirational sermon by the Rt. Rev.

Ernest M. Stires, Bishop of the Long Island Diocese, in which he compared the light of Christ with the light of the world, stressing the need of carrying It to the ends of the earth. Lights Exchanged. Following the sermon the bishop lighted the large candle on the altar. During the singing of a hymn a huge electric star, suspended directly above the chancel, was Illuminated.

Three men in costume representing the Three Wise Men then passed down the aisle of the church to the altar where they deposited gifts. After this ceremony 13 young men In cassocks, representing the 12 apostles, made their way to the altar and lighted the candles which they carried from the one standing there. One of the young men then touched his candle to that held by the Bishop. The Bishop lighted the candles held by the Rev. Samuel M.

Dorrance, rector of the church, and the Rev. Howard F. Dunn, curate, who in turn distributed the light among the congregation. By this time more than 400 points of light illuminated the church, all other lights hating been extin Half a century of happy marriage realized on the anniversary of their marriage by the Rev. Dr.

FantinBntal Motora New Calendar 13-Month Year Would Oust True Sabbath, He Says, ami Ruin' Many Objections to the 13-month calendar have been voiced by Isaac Rosengarten, editor of "The Jewish and secretary of the League tor Safeguarding the' Fixity of the Sabbath Against Possible Encroachment by Calendar Reform, which has Its offices at 40 W.

3Sd Manhattan. The basis of the opposition is the fact that when changing from one year to the succeeding one there would be two Sabbaths on succeeding days, or If the odd day was not observed as a Sabbath there would be eight days between Sabbaths in that week. The results of this condition are summarized by Mr. Rosengarten in a statement In which he writes, In part: "Briefly stated, the new calendar Is supposed to begin In 1933. when the first of the year falls on Sunday.

Thereafter every month Is to begin on Sunday anj end on Saturday, since there will be 13 months )f S8 days each, a total of 364 days. The 364th day will be Saturday but the 365th day, instead of being Sunday, will be a blank day and will be called either Year Day or Sabbath. Consequently, the following day. New Year's Day. instead at being Monday will be called Sunday, and Tuesday will be -called Monday, and the Jewish Sat bath will therefore fall on Fridays In 1934 and the Lord's Day will fall on every Sat.

urday. In 1935 the Jewish Sabbath will be every Thursday; the first six months of 1936 Wednesdays; the next seven months Tuesdays, and so on the Sabbath will keep wandering from day to day as the years go by. Hnrd on Parents, lie Says. "Under the five day labor week which is spreading In all the Industries, unions will compel resting on Saturday and Sunday, and Jtws who may wish to observe Sabbath when it falls on Wednesday or Tuesday will have only and a half to four days a week in which to earn their living Moreover parents will be fined or imprisoned for not sending their children to school when the Sabbath falls In the middle of the week, or legislate .1 will have to be begun in all tht 48 States separately to protect them from punishment; and nevertheless children will lose one day's instruction every week. "In all the years in which the Sabbath falls ou Tuesday in the month of November.

Jews, will practically oe disfranchised, since they would not be able, in' conformity with their religion, to go to the polls to vote." Mr, Rosengarten points oui that a 13-inonth calendar can be devised which would eliminate the objections made on religious grounds. "According to tht rjlan," states Mr Rosengarten, "every month may 4e 28 days in Ic.igJi, except the 13th, which would have 29 days to complete the annual cycle of 365 days, and 30 days in the leap jear of 366 days, AtLs fur Co-operulloii. "No blank day need be inserted in this arrangement of the calend.u'. The only convenience not provided for by this plan Is the regular recur- a llPn)S tf were 17 or 18 or 21 before mating some amazing pronouncement relative to the degeneracy of the younger generation." Abhor Drinkers, Tolerate Smokers Quotations from, the letters Indicated a marked preference on the part of the young women for sincerity, honesty, cleanliness of mind, thoughtfulncss, character and manliness in their young men friends. Only two girls expressed admiration for good looks, while the others stressed the necessity for neat personal appearance.

A pleasing personality is a popular attribute, according to the census, while drinking is abhorred, laziness and con-celt condemned. Most of the girls do not care one way or the other if young men smoke, but one young miss declared her preference for a non-smoker "provided that in abstaining he does not act like a martyr." Other outstanding qualities demanded by the young women were "the ability to adjust himself to his environment, a trained mind and the art of pleasing." moralization vhlch will result from the adoption of the blank day device for all Christian denominations as well as the Jewish. I would also point out that million of Jews, particularly in Europe, who would insist, in obedience to their conscientious scruples, on observing the Sabbath on the correct seventh day, will be economically ruined if this blank day feature forced on the world. Christians will also be troubled in their conscience when they realize that their Lord's Day has become a wanderng Sabbath."

The modern girl's taste in boy friends differs not at all from that of her grandmother, according to the answers to a questionnaire taken recently among young people in the Central Presbyterian Church at Jefferson and Marcy upon which the Rev, J. Lowrey Fendrich. pastor of the church, based his sermon last night.

In spite of the pastor's assertion that "the young people are quite possibly and Irrevocably headed for the dogs and their actions point out that within another generation our young people will have wrecked civilization," quotations read from letters from young women in the parish showed that the girls still lean toward swains possessing the finer qualities demanded in the tintype age. Willing to Defend Youth. "I am willing to defend the younger generation," the Rev. Mr. Fendrich stated, "but I admit that they are not all wool and a yard wide." He cautioned the older people to "hark back to the time when you rence of the first of the month on Sunday; but the advantage is retained of the regular recurrence of the first of the month on the same day throughout the year.
