The Wingham Advance-Times, 1962-12-28, Page 2A Time In this final week of the old year we .might all do worse than look back over the past twelve months and ponder upon the blessings that have been ours,. It is possible that 1962 did not bring you a million dollars . . . certainly it didn't make you any younger. It added a few more gray hairs and stiffened your joints just a fraction, But there are quite a few items on the other side of the ledger too, For instance, that little squabble over missile bases in Cuba. Let's not forget that we could very easily have been so much atomic dust by this time. THE WINGHAM ADVANCE -TIMES Published at Wingham, Ontario Wenger Bros. Limited W.

C. M. Jardine. Assisting in the morning service and reading the lesson was John Crawford, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Crawford of Wingham. John is a third year student in Theology at Emmanuel College in Toronto, and when graduated, will be ordained into the ministry of the United Church of Canada. Mr. Jardine, spoke from the text, "Unto You is Born a to Reflect In a more pleasant mood we should also recall that we had a long and en- joyable summer. It started early in the year and the nice weather lasted weeks longer than usual. Most of us were pretty prosperous this year. Business remained brisk and we had no unemploy- ment problems to worry about in our area. Our town progressed steadily. New homes were built, a new school wasap- proved, our parks were expanded, streets were paved, a new front was started for the arena. We do have a lot to be thankful for, and in our thankfulness we are not for- getting the homes were tragedies have separated loved ones. The past year has indeed brought its losses and misfortunes to some, Let us face the new year with courage, yes even with optimism, in the determin- ation that we will right a few more wrongs and be a bit more concerned for those who are not as fortunate as our- selves. This world can be a wonderful place for those who are really seeking the best it has to offer. Every Place," A duet, "A Burst of Heavenly Music," from Misses Judy Callan and Bonnie Jardin; a solo, "The Virgin Slumber Song" by Mrs. J.W.

Mr. Jardine extended seas- on's greetings and words of wel- come to the congregation and friends. Baskets of white chrysanthe- mums and red carnations, pot- ted poinsettias and lighted can- dles provided a suitable setting for these special services. Saviour." He followed the journey of Joseph and Mary from Nazareth to Bethlehem, and to the birth of Jesus in the manager. This commonplace birth showed the relationship between God and man, when a Saviour was offered to the world. And so Christmas is a time of remembrance, that Jesus was born for us. It is not Wholly a time of doing and giving, but a time when we must bring forth our greatest gift, that of our- selves, and present our lives to Him. Special music was provided by the three choirs, under the direction of H. C. Treneer, organist and choir master, In the morning Ken Wood took the solo in the anthem, "Behold i Bring You Good Tidings, " and the men of the senior choir sang, "Infant So Gentle," The beau- tiful solo "Gesu Bambino," was given by Mrs. George Guest.
