Thinking
of dear friends, old
Melville Ladies enjoy Christmas party
Twenty-one members of
the Melville Presbyterian
Guild gathered at the beauti-
fully decorated home of the
president, Jeanne Ireland,
for their Christmas meeting
on December 15.
Jeanne opened the meet-
ing with a Christmas poem
after which familiar carols
were sung accompanied by
Helen Elliott at the piano. -
The scripture from Luke 2
told of Jesus' birth in -the
manger at Bethlehem. Mary
Huether led in prayer and
read a poem called "All
Roads Lead Home at Christ-
mas."
Christmas was described
by Eluned McNair as purely a
spiritual holiday in the early
days. Then pagans gave us
the holly with its red berries
representing drops of blood
on Christ's brow. Mistletoe
was wicked and not allowed in
churches. Midnight mass be-
came popular in the 18th'
century. '
"Why Do We Celebrate
Christmas?" by Jeanne Ire,
land told us that the Christ-
mas card originated in Eng-
land in 1844 and that Martin
• Luther is credited with cutt-
ing the first Christmas tree
for children.
Mince pie is Christian in
origin as the spices repre-
sent those brought to anoint
Christ's body in the tomb.
Gifts date to those presented
by the Wise Men to the Christ
child.
The little. Christmas ,Tree
who brought joy to a Child-
ren's Home brought smiles to
our lips.
Many memories of Christ-
mas concerts of our childhood
delighted,'-the members as
they answered the roll call.
Marguerite Krauter in-
vited us to her home for the
pot luck supp-er in January
and the purchase of artificial
flowers for the dinner tables
was discussed.
A report was given by
Leona Armstrong on her
purchase of poinsettias and it
was decided to give a gift of
money to the Callander Nur-
sing Home toward the pur-
chase of a record player.
A social time was enjoyed
by all when Santa distributed
gifts and Mart: Iftietber,
Eluned McNair, and Jeat)p
Ireland served refreshnieuts.
Something for
Everyone
and new, and wishing
them all a season of unending,
old fashioned delights!
