T. G. Hus- Wingliam—Goal, Glen Skinn; de- sea Music was provided by 'the choir tinder the leadership of T. C. Treneer, director of music. They were assisted by the junior choir who occupied seats in the gallery. Mr. Russo spoke on the subject ''The words, heGlor of Christmas" based ,en the "And we beheld His glory." He asked what is the glory of Christmas? To some it is glory in the might of man, the glory of wealth or position, to others the glory of home coming and giving and sharing. To the wise men and shepherds it was the glory of the Babe in the manger. At Christmas a mystic spell of glory falls upon the earth, people mellow, and there is a song in the heart rejoicing that Jesus came to dwell amongst us, We can only see His glory when we have experienced His sacrifice and known God revealed to man, Men are badly needed at this lime to proclaim peace and goodwill through-out the earth. The choir sang the appropriate anthem, "And the Glory of the Lord," by Handell. The sole, 'O, Holy Night," by Adolph Adam 1.‘415 sung by Mrs. J. W. Callan, and a male quartette IC.
