Stiffer Penalties Wanted
•Stiffer penalties for violation of
the Canada Temperance Act are to
be requested by Huron Presbytery
of the United Church of Canada.
At a presbytery meeting at Auburn
Thursday of last week, members
of the presbytery expressed strong
disapproval of an alleged lacy of
enforcement of liquor laws in
Huron County. .The presbytery re
solved that the Government be re
quested to increase the penalties
for all violations of the liquor
laws in force .in Huron.
Attention was directed at the
presbytery meeting to a resolution
of th‘e General Council of the Un
ited Church of Canada, which asks
every church member to set a
Christian 'example of total abstin
ence, to refrain from offering al
cohol drinks to .their guests, and
to refrain from investing money
in the liquor business. .

last week reported that Mr. and
Mrs. G. W. Pavis had left for New
York to sail Friday morning on
the Queen Elizabeth for England
where they expect to make their
home at Tiverton-on-A von, Bath,

lived at Exeter and Hensall for
thirty years, where he was con
nected with manufacturing plants
for the making of boy’s clothing.
The Mount Forest Confederate

Christmas is the one time of the
yt-ar when, most people are trying
to he happy and cheerful. It really
is quite inspiring to think that on
Christmas Day, all ovei* Canada,
‘most people are trying to be happy
and to make others happy and icheer-
full, too. This 'cheerful spirit helps
to make people generous.
Christmas is so vitally connected
with angels' songs, "Peace and Good
Will,” and the coming of Christ,
the world’s redeemer, that It will
always be looked upon as the most
joyous season of the year, the glori
ous festival of the nativity.
'In addition to festivities, Christ
mas renews friendships and evokes-
a generous spirit of charity and for
giveness toward old grievances. The
Sereph’s message, “On earth, peace
and goodwill toward men,” as <a con-
sumation devotedly to Ibe wished for
never more earnestly than at the
present time. The angelic chorus
over the hills of ' Bethlehem, the
arresting reports of the shepherds,
the sweet babe in the cattle’s stall,
the star in the East, and the visit
of the Magi, all form part of the
Advent, Festival, make men feel the
nearness of Go.d who sent .His great
gift of love to all on earth.
In this hurrying and feverish age
we have outgrown many customs
and ceremonies off Christmas. We
have forgotten ancient hopes and
fears Gone is the Lord of Misrule,
gone is the Court Jester, the Mur-
mers, the .Yule Log, the wassel bowl.
Christmas carols remain but for
many of us their words have become
: hackneyed—only the melodies-
awake within us the memories of
childhood. But Christmas itself sur
vives. Still human nature claims- for
this one season Of the year a tithe
of the old simplicity—something of
the fine carelessness off the long ago.
Still children’s faces light up be
fore the wonder that is never old.
There is'still magic in the air. Still
the reindeer speeds ' through the
starry night, laden with phantom
riches. Still smiles of human kind
ness pass over tightened lips, and
tired eyes glance wonderingly
through strange new vision.
The ghosts of memory arise to
remind us of the past, and yet, the
eager Voices of the children. chal

burdens and menace. Christmasi is
