An atmosphere of the festive season was created in the sanctu­ ary and vestible by decorated candelabra with lighted tapers, a glowing tree, several poinsettias, containers of bright blooms and Christmas sprays bedecked with scarlet ribbon. Rev. Peter D. Tucker conducted the service using scripture read­ ings from Zechariah’s prophesy and Matthew 2: 1-11. The children’s story was intro­ duced with the question “Have you peeked at any of your Christmas presents?’’ Some had and told of them. Presents are nicely wrapped. “What would you lose if you kept the wrapping and threw away the gift?’’ Adults occasionally keep the wrapping and throw God’s gift away. Christmas is God’s gift of his son. The children retired to the schoolroom led by Mrs. John Campbell, Grace Carmichael, Jayne Vincent and Margie Gor­ don. The large choir of mixed voices sang two anthems “Christmas Message’’ with Mrs. Joel Arkell singing the soprano portion and “Praise to Jesus’’ with piano accompaniment by Mrs. Goerge Procter. Miss Jennifer Procter lent aboe support for this number. The offering was received by Kenneth Procter, Donald G. Proc­ ter, Ross Higgins and John R. Taylor. The minister stated that memory becomes spent. At Christmas Santa Claus, Kris Kringle and Jesus all become one. Carols are blotted out by modern songs. Many ask “Where is the baby born to be King?” Past history becomes bor­ ing. Jesus never emerges here now. He is always in the manger, always a baby in arms. For others he lived as a martyr. Christians may recognize him as a great wise man - now dead, looming in the past as a charming appealing person. We need someone alive. Peace on earth is an attainable goal in the present as is witnessed in Europe. We are dealing with a Christ who can bring peace to our hearts and lives. God gave his son Emmanuel, which means “God With Us”. He is here present and loving forever. MUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE [UNIT II].....................................,.............$43.
