Christmas Was
Movable Feast
Chriatrnas was once like Eas-
ter in that if was a movable
feast, celebrated on a different
date each year.
St, Cyril, bishop of Jerusa
lem, is responsible for the es-
tablishment of a universal date,
December 25, which we cele-
brate today, In 337 A.D.,
with the permission of Pope
Junius I, St, Cyril appointed a
commission to determine, if
possible, the precise date of
Christ's nativity. The theolo-'
gians of the Church finally
agreed upon December 25, and
since the year 354 this date has
been celebrated.
agreed card -giving is a good
way to keep in touch with fri-
ends and relatives, and that it
is good to hear from the far-
away ones of the family circle.
All agreed that the custom has
gotten out of hand, all thought
the lists should be revised and
more stress put on sending to a
needy or lonely person.
The panel thought Christmas
cards from business firms were
a waste of money, why burden
overworked postal office per-
sonnel. The ladies thought that
times are changing, younger
generations do not write as
many letters. Christmas stories,
music and advertising starts far
too soon. Children are be-
wildered with so many Christ-
mas parades, programs and
Santas. Some felt it is too
much expense in homes, and
so many gifts are disappointing,
and childrens' day is spoiled
when they don't get something
big, wonderful and expensive.
In fact, to many, it means
that a well -made toy was one
that would smash all the others
up. Some people have stopped
sending any cards, too big and
expensive a job, in a big fam-
ily.
Mrs. Victor Emerson gave a
very interesting talk on "Bells",
and showed her collection of
sleigh bells, cutter bells, school
bells, sheep, cow and turkey
bells, and spoke of the train
bells, church bells, carrillon
and tower bells, and what they
have meant to people of dif-
ferent lands, who have heard
them toll for death, ring for
trouble or war or peace or vic-
tory, of ships bells, of little
bells on toys, the New Year
bells ringing out the old and
ringing in the new.
Mrs. Emerson gave a read-
ing of Edgar Guest, telling of
the push-button age, far better
than the bells of winter, and
old time customs.
The president thanked the
panel for their discussion and
Mrs. Emerson for her fine talk
and noisy bells.
Plans were made to fill re-
membrance boxes for the older
folk of the community, and a
committee was appointed, Mrs.
Frank Ross, Mrs. Jas. Currie
and Mrs. George Walker, to
take charge. A remembrance
was planned for Mrs. Dowling,
who is making her home at
Mount Forest. The ladies
joined in community singing,
followed by the national an-
them. Lunch was served.
The Familiar
Christmas Story
Now it came to pass in those
days, that a decree went forth
from Caesar Augustus that a
census of the whole world
should be taken. The firstcen-
sus took place while Cyrinus
was governor of Syria. And all
were going, each to his own
town to register.
And Joseph also went from
Galilee out of the town ofNaz-
areth into Judea to the town of
David, which is called Bethle-
hem, being of the family and
house of David, to register to-
gether with Mary his espoused
wife who was with child.
And it came to pass, while
they were there, that the days
for her to be delivered were
fulfilled. And she brought
forth her first-born son, wrap-
ped him in swaddling clothes
and laid him in a manger be-
cause there was no room for
them in the inn.
And there were shepherds in
the same district living in the

Christmas, the most impor-
tant holiday of the year, is a
time for family reunions, fam-
ily fun — and a time, too, for
taking pictures.
There's no better opportun-
ity to capture appealing shots
of the youngsters than during
the holiday season. Arid for
relatives and friends who'll be
joining you for the festivities,
the mood is right, the back-
grounds exciting. Pictures ta-
Vesper Service
Held at Knox
BELGRAVE—The C.G,I.T.
Group of Knox United Church,
held their annual candlelight-
ing service on Sunday in the

in charge of the service. Organ

George Michie,
The processional hymn,
"Hark the Glad Sound", was
followed by the call to worship
and prayer by Marilyn. Choral
reading, Psalm 98, was read
with all the girls taking part.
Christmas Scripture was read by
Lynda Coultes followed by the
choir anthem, "Gentle Mary

stood by them and the glory of
God shone about them and they
feared exceedingly.
And the angel said to them,
"Do not be afraid, for behold,
I bring good news of great joy
which shall be to all the peo-
ple, for today, in the town of
David, a Saviour has been born
to you who is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign to you,
you will find the Infant wrap-

ken now will be treasured for
years to come.
Actually, Christmas is more
than a day. It's a season of
exciting days, starting with the
first visit to your local Santa
Claus, continuing with the
mailing of cards, and ending
with the youngsters, favored
new toys in hand, trudging to
bed Christmas night. Each
step of your family's unfolding
Christmas story should be cap-
tured, and remembered,
through pictures.
With a bit of planning,
you'll be certain to snap all
the pictures you want most.
Just keep your camera handy,
loaded with film, and a supply
of flashbulbs in easy reach.
That way, you won't find your-
self wishing, "If only I had a
picture of Mary in the school
Christmas pageant."
Take your camera with you
not only to your church and
school programs, but on all
your other Christmas trips.
Snap the store windows with
the children looking in, the
youngsters chatting with Santa
Claus, and your family's trek
to choose a Christmas tree.
These activities are all part of
your family's Christmas story.
Around home, you'll want to
include the addressing of cards,
junior's letter to Santa, the
wrapping of gifts, decorating of
the home, delivery of packages
by the postman, and the hang-
ing of stockings.
Christmas Day offers a host
of special photo opportunities,
beginning with the children un-
wrapping their gifts, and con-
tinuing with the trying out of
new toys and clothes. Later,
you can snap the arrival of
family and friends, and thedin-
ner itself.
For a happy picture record,
plan your shooting, improvise
as events proceed, and above
all, keep your camera, bulbs
and film within easy reach.
That way, you will be prepared
each time a picture opportunity
arises.
