Let Us Now Go To Bethlehem
Oh, let us go to Bethlehem
Where stars bent low above the
town,
And faint upon the midnight
air,
The sound of music drifting
down;
The age-old words that come
again,
'Peace, peace on earth, good-
will to men,"
I wonder if we'd find out there,
The quiet peace the shepherds
knew.
With little fires burning low,
The very heavens breaking
through,
And angels coming down to
sing,
The golden herald of a king?
And would we find a stable old,
With rough-hewn beams and
staunchions bare,
And in a manger, sound asleep,
A baby wrapped with tender
care,
Holding in His small hands the
key
Of life and immortality?,
God grant to all men every=
where,
The wonder of the holy night,
The faith of shepherds kneeling
low,
And wise men following a
light,
Oh, let us all return with them
Back to the folds of Bethlehem.

Family Gathers
On Anniversary
BELGRAVE—Mr. and Mrs.
Stewart Proctor marked their
40th wedding anniversary with
a family dinner at the home of
their daughter and son-in-law,
Mr. and Mrs. Ken Alton of
Lucknow. All of their family
were present. The anniver-
sary was December 14th.
On Friday evening a sur-
prise party was held for them
by immediate neighbours and
family.
Lord Astor from
Cakes to Riches
The great Lord Astor of
Hever is in grim earnest in his
plan to leave England and thus
elude the clutches of the tax
collector. If he leaves, the
family fortune of $30,000,000
will stay intact in New York
but his death in Britain could
spell a tax loss of $24, 000,000 !
It's'something his great-
grandfather would never have
allowed. John Jacob Astor the
First was a penniless immigrant
-- son of a German butcher --
who landed in New York and
sold cakes for a living, crying
his wares through the streets.
To attract attention he
played a flute -- and found
one day that an Indian wanted
to buy this whistle rather than
his cookies.
It gave him an idea. Astor
went out to Red Indian territory
where he traded penny whistles
for costly fur pelts. He sank
the profits from the furs into
New York land -- and sheer
panic did the rest.
In 1812 British guns menaced
New York. Astor bought land
from the stampeding settlers
until he soon owned nearly the
whole city.
When his descendant, Col-
onel John Astor, went down on
the Titanic, the family fortune
was estimated at $250,000,000.
The total has soared astron-
omically since then. Lord
Astor's family trust is just a
slice of the fantastic Astor pie!

comm., Mrs. Mason Robinson;

Mrs, George McGee conduc-
ted the Bible study period.
Mrs, Mason Robinson gave a
report of the stewardship meet-
ings. The Scripture lesson,
the Christmas story, was read
in unison and Rev. H. Ander,-
son led in prayer. The theme
of the meeting was, "Christmas
Around the World", and Mrs.
$. Dow, Mrs. Harry Cook,
Mrs. Mason and Mr's. G. I3ee-
croft told of the different ways
in which the people of the
Oriental countries, of South
Africa, South America and
Canada, celebrated this occa-
sion. Mrs. Mason Robinson in
the meditation period spoke
on, "What is Christmas?" The
meeting was closed with prayer
by the president, and all en-
joyed the social time of the
birthday tea that followed.
Christmas Story
And Early Hymns
From St. Luke
The original Christmas story
comes from the Bible. In an
age wading knee-deep in com-
mercialism this fact is some-
times obscured.
"The First Noel" carolled by
the angels to "shepherds abiding
in the fields, keeping watch
over their flocks by night, " the
journey of the wise men bring-
ing treasures to present to a
new-born King, the housing
problem of Mary and Joseph
who found "no room in the inn"
for the birth of the baby Jesus,
so familiar to the world today,
find their origin in the i-loly
Scriptures.
The earliest Christmas
hymns, the greatest of all time,
came out of the Christmas story
contained in the Bible. These
are used around the world to-
day, throughout the year, not
only at this festival of the
Church.
It is interesting to note that
they are all found in the Gos-
pel according to St. Luke: The
Ave Maria in Luke 1:28, 33;
The Magnificat, Luke 1:46-55;
The Benedictus, Luke 1:68-79;
Gloria in Excelsis, Luke 2:14;
and The Nunc Dimittis, Luke
2:29-32.
The origin of giving gifts at
Christmas goes back not only
to the presents offered beside *
the manger -bed, but to God's
own giving of "His only begot-
ten Son that whosoever believ-
eth on Him should not perish
but have everlasting life."
This life is the keynote of the
Christmas story and of the Bible
always and everywhere.
