We • wish . that all our readers
may .enjoy•' all• the !b`l`essings of
Christmas. Because:God gave His
only Son wee •give 'gifts to our
friends, and.' because.' the 'scrip,'
ture says that it is more blessed
to give • than to . receive. Because
it is ;a • great 'Christian .festival,
many will mark it by visiting the
home: , of the . Christ Child' and
take gifts just as . if they were
visiting .`their neighbor who has
received ..the gift of: a, new-born
•child.:.'The 'Christ• child was.' no,
ordinary .;child.- He was born . the
Prince: of Peace, the Saviour of
the World. .Just as the .inn. was:
hallowed: by the• presence of the
Saviour, so may our Gomes' be.
blessed at this time by'. the. pres-
ence of the Lord. How/I will you.
.celebrate Christmas. , Will you'
join your . friends and neighbors
at' God's 'House. to thank Him for
a Saviour?
Ivor. Brown, in .a. guide book' of
all places,' entitled "Winter • In
London," -tells us that in • 'thy •
,Christmas season .Of 1949, he re
,cei'ved from his local parish`
.church an ,invitation. that ,struck'
him 'as really lamentable in its
tone.' "Christmas. Day is the -birth-
day, of our. Lord Jesus Christ.
Will, you let flim share it . with
you at one or other.; of these ser
vices?". Ivor Brown •goes on with
his comments. "Will I' let' Rim?
Should I not be .told firmly, and
evenly, fiercely, that if 'I believe
i'rn
,the facts of 'the •Christanas•
story; then it is a supremie, priv-
ilege to bo allowed to share • in
this grandeur ofspiritual' pop
portunity, and that I am com-•
mitting unpardonable folly., if I
miss the' chance of sharing such
cormnunion? ' Will : He 'of • His,

CHRISTMAS DAY
('by A. 'V1t' . B.) ,
A group of chilc,en, in a re-

known, games. had, been tried ---
leap frog, skipping competitions,
fellow, your leader; games with
bats and balls and hockey stick..
What 'would they play at' next?
They would play at having a cir-
cus 'stocked 'with all, kinds of ani-
mals, wild beasts and beasts' that
weren't wild, such' as a stupid
'donkey, which part' was given to
a boy who knew how • to ' eat
stupid if he couldn't get the right
pitch for the 'song the donkey
sings. Some 'shouting girls were
named 'geese —,• wild •geese? , yes
and domestic. 'The •heaviest boy
among them must act'- the part ,of
an elephant, seeing he had some
weight to throw : around, "though
he didn't know. where that .‘sec-
ond forward tail was coming
from, yet he ,had, a name for
poking his nose into other peo-
ple's business, Volunteers were
accepted to: 'be. lions, tigers, wild

main • line . as. he brought .his. Lon-
don -Toronto 'train iii:.. Hewas
very seriously hurt.
Mr. Reid 'says, he has enjoyed
his railroad job and if he had to
do 'it over again would pick the

ever, 'to. be .free •, 'of 'watching.
highway crossings for speeding or
daring' motorists.' •

everybody. The boy: who' played

THE VOICE' OF TEMPERANCE
Christmasm
is coining!' For, the : -
Children' that means the happiesttime of 'the year. For the •officers
of the law it Means. the busiest
time of the year. It's the excess-
ive
. drinking done at Christmas,'
that gives 'the police their annual
ristinas problem. It's the .office
parties during . the IGhristrnas
season and the more or lessin-
toxicated drivers that° are the
result Of these parties, that create
the ugly situation.
It's a !blasphemous mockery, in
a so=calledChristian 'land that. •
the celebrating 'of the coming of
Christ should •be the occasion of
theyear's biggest spree: So now •
the warning is out "If you drink,' •
don't drive" —"If. you drive don't'

drink. At 'a much nigher . lenrel- •
