�,il: `1 Monday night.
How merry can Christmas be in the
face of current inflation, unem-
ployment, strikes, sagging
investments, rising crime and similar
woes?
That will depend largely, on our
r=eWnse to the joyful aspects of the
Yule season which are too often taken
for granted. Maybe we should look at
its traditional observances with fresh
appreciation.
Consider, fa instance, all the
heart-warming personal encounters
that go with the season, Joyful family
homecomings and gatherings,
parties, get-togethers with old
friends, fellow -workers and variouts
other groups give our spirits a needed
lift. So. do Christmas cards.
True, in this year of strained
budgets gifts may be more modest.
But they'll still be offered "with
love" and that gives one an inner
glow.
Everywhere, too,colorful lights and
decorations spread cheer and beauty.
And anyone can enjoy the various
plays, pageants. ballets and movies
c#esigned for holiday moods. Even TV
mixes in some Christmas specials for
relief from the surfeit of crime shows.
And ah, the glorious Christmas
music! How it can inspire us with
great works"performed in church and
concert halls. " While carols and
popular Christmas songs take a
merciless beating from repetition on
the -radio and shopping plaza sound
systems, at least they add to our
festive feeling.
Above all, the ideal antidote to
today's tensions and anxieties is to
open mind and heart to the original
Christmas message of hope and joy.

Pansies in December
Amen
by Karl Schuessler
How would you like to matin for
eternity'
And you thought a lifetime was long
enough. Probably tfiat's too lone enough for
most pebple. Just take a look at the way the
divorce rate soared over the last ,-ear. It
increased over 21'(,. And a Statistics Canada
specialist predicted a 50% jump in the nest
five years.
To cushion this jump. there's help on the
w ay. A whole new field of pioneer work is
developing. There are courses in creative
divorce, group sessions for single ,parents,
parents without partners. There's a directory
for the divorced -- a list of all the places you
can go for help and services. Toronto has rwo
monthly magazines for divorcees only. How -
to - films. audio tapes. And soon a 24 hours
divorce hot line.
A man who teachers a 'creative divorce
course looks an the Thee ier side of things. He
says div once can be an oppottumv. for
personal growth and education. He has his
own theory of multi -divorce. He's now
separated from wife number two. He says it
takes about three marriages before you really
settle in. The first one is romantic, the second
is on the rebound- And the thir,4, well maybe
by then 'you finally come to yoitr senses.
Good luck. fellow! Happy Ming
But on second thought, I think this fellow
needs more than luck. Maybe he needs
Emmanuel Swedenborg- He's the 'man who
thought marriages should stick, aaat just for a
lifetime either. He said marriages last for
eternity. So no one in his church --now- called
the Swedenborgian Church- o't the«Church -of
the New Jerusalem --ever walks down the
aisle that lightly. When the couple says "I
do", it's more than a life-long sentence. It
punctuates and shakes the very gates of
heaven.
With this sort of everlasting comrn'3ment_
yotu in; harder. With those sort ofd
rales. you keep on trying. You dan'i wake tip
each morning and think -Why an earth -and
heaves. did i ever marry you?
You kncr w the ansa-er. The love of the Lord
and your spouse comes fust, R tth this sort of
conviction. vou,don't just ask whais in it for
me?
A recm survey showed religions women
To the -Editor
were more sexually satisfied in their
marriages- And the survey ers concluded it
wasn't because they experienced more
satisfaction, but because they settled for less.
Now. I'm not ready to untangle that one. But
when religion emphasizes others and not self -
those researchers may have concluded in the,
fight direction.
Now don't het the Sw*edenborgians wrong.
They won't consign you to an unhappy
marriage forever. If you didn't make the right
choice, there's rest in sight. You can have a
respite --like the man did who buried his wife
in upper New York state. (2n her gravestone
he put
"I Laid my w; ife .beneath this stone
For her repose and for my ow -n."
But don't think- You're going to Fest forever.
Because you can't get into heaven unless
you're mated -- if not with t rat eternal parte
you starred out with on this earth. then a neyy
one -- a better, the perfect one.
You have to wait around in a foyer -like place
for your perfect match. Then together you'll
enter heaven. For no one is complete alone. A
person is not wholly himself until he's joined
with his other half.
Swedenborg spent the last forty years of his
Iife with his feet on the ground, but his head
was in the clouds --m the spiritival woridHe
wrote that he saw in the heavens a person in
ibg distadce_ And as they neared, he' realized
they were two people; For the two do become
as one. just as the marriage service says
And a good Swedenborgian will tell you to
take a look at couples married a long time.
Over the mass they do begin to think alike, act
alike and even look alike. The two are one.
The Swedenborgian of course admit that
not all theii marriages are heavenly here on
earth. But they straggle. They urs- hard.
Harder. To become 'one. They go into
marriage with the idea 'it's going to
w'ori.Thevll work hard to make it work.
And to my mind that's a refreshing and
chaste attitude- h balances this divorce prune
