Two of the most important events in history, events which revealed not only God's love but His desire for Peace and Good -Will in the world and in the hearts of His creatures. Festive customs are celebrated by Pagan and Christian alike; all enjoy the holiday, but the real ;meaning of Christmas is inward and spiritual and only exper- ienced by those in whose hearts there is room for the spirit of God." Special music by the choir under the direction of Mr. Roy Mundy, organist and choir leader, sang, "The Christ- mas Chant," "The First Christmas Morn," "Come and Worship" and "Carol Sweetly Carol,'$ Mrs. E. Armi- tage and Mrs. M. Swanson took spec- ial parts in this music. There were two celebrations of the Holy Communion, One at nine o'clock in the morning and the other at eleven o'clock, when tneinbers received their Christmas Commuion. The evening service took the form of a Carol service bringing the Christ- mas message in music to its listeners. The Rector said Christmas is large- ly a "Family Day" how fitting it is to have the family remember our Heav- enly Father, whose children we are. If Christ's s Coining was for Peace and Good -Will surely our coining to r 1 more regularly Christ and His Church u g • will assist in God's redemptive plan." The text for the Christmas Message was "To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of Peace." S. T.uke 1: 7-9.
