Summary "On Christmas Day In The Evening" by Grace S. Richmond is a novel written during the early 20th century. Set during a Christmas gathering where family members return to their ancestral home, the story explores themes of reconciliation, community, and the spirit of the holiday. The narrative focuses on the Fernald family as they deal with lingering conflicts in their small town of North Estabrook, particularly the closure of their local church due to a quarrel among its parishioners. The plot unfolds as the Fernald family decides to take action and organize a Christmas service at the long-closed church, hoping this gesture will mend rifts within the community. They invite the Reverend William Sewall, who is well-respected, and collaborate on setting up the church with decorations and music. The pivotal moment comes when the elderly former minister, Elder Blake, unexpectedly finds his voice again and delivers a sermon that resonates deeply with the congregation, catalyzing a transformation in the relationships among the townspeople. The story culminates in a powerful message of love and forgiveness, highlighting the potential for change and renewal during the Christmas season. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
