Carols sung
at Knox Church
Familiar Christmas carols re
sounded on the morning air from
Knox United Church on Sunday
morning as the many members
congregated to celebrate Jesus’
birth.
The sanctuary was tastefully
decorated with poinsettias, red
roses in brass vases, candelabra,
and a tree aglow. A white bud vase
containing red and white flowers
with holly greenery adorned each
window sill.
A piano-organ prelude of Christ
mas numbers with Mrs. George
Johnston pianist, and Mrs. George
Procter, organist was presented.
Following the singing of the
doxology, Rev. JohnG. Roberts set
alight the third Advent candle,
which signifies Purity. The mini
ster chose scripture reading from
Matthew: 2 relating to Herod, the
King, andfocusingon his reactions
of Jesus birth.
The large choir of mixed voices
sang “The Prince of Peace”, with
organ accompaniment. The offer
ing was received by Patrick Cull,
Heather McIntosh, Steven Nixon
and Donald G. Procter.
The sermon was introduced by
the question, “How do you decide
whatis a world event?” Focus may
be centred on world events as
Hitleror the explosion atom bomb.
Scientificthinkingchanges. World
events change things for all.
Christmas impinges on life. The
birth of Jesus provides a Bible
claim for allegiance. Our type of
allegiance dictates how we live our
lives. Our first allegiance must be
to Jesus; not the government.
The type of allegiance chosen
provides an alternative to the law of
retribution. Any group formulates
law. People live by law. If persons
arefriends with an enemy, they
destroy the enemy. The type of
allegiance provides a new standard
of judgement.
An inexpensive watch may be
accurate, each of two may be
accurate but set at different times.
Atafuturedate all time pieces may
be set automatically correct.
If Jesus is our standard, nothing
canhappenthatisnotsetbythe
will of God in the coming of Jesus.
This event we celebrate today.
Hymns relative to Christmas
were sung during the inspiring
service.
