DONALD SINCLAIR, Wingham, Ontario, THE FACTS OF CHRISTMAS It is a privilege to pause in the stress of modern Life and go back in spirit to stand by that Manger bed, and gaze upon the lovely Babe, who is God manifest in the flesh. The story of the Birth of Christ is ever new. In all the annals of earth there is nothing else to be compared with it. His Incarnation was the first step in the fulfillment of the programme of redemption. Bethlehem was the prelude to Calvary: The Christmas story is not a Hebrew myth or Chris- tian folklore. It is a blessed and glorious fact. God has actually come down to earth and become Incarnate in the person of the Man Christ Jesus. In Bethlehem's Babe, we see Deity and humanity united, never more to be separated. But Incarnation alone would not save one poor sinner. He became man in order that He might give His life a ransom for many. Apart from Calvary, Bethlehem would have no last- ing significance. The Saviou; born in David's city, had to die in order to redeem us to God. It is an interesting fact that although Micah foretold the birth of Christ as taking place in Bethlehem, there seemed almost to the last, no likeli- To Leave Community FORDWICH-Friends, rela- tives and neighbours gathered in the community hall on Saturday evening to honor Mr, and Mrs. Jack Boyd, who are leaving their farm which they recently sold to Mr. and Mrs. Harold Gipson and will make their home in Gorrie. Progressive euchre was play- ed during the evening. Winners were; i ligh gent, John Gamble; consolation, Mrs. Spence Bre- a rs. Mrs. Bruce Agla read the address and Bruce Agla and Carl Ettinger presented Mr, and Mrs. Boyd with a record player and records, Jack and Bessie thanked everyone for the gifts and lunch was served. hood that this would be. God used a Roman emperor's com- mand to bring Mary to.Bethle- hem at the very last moment in order that His word might not fail. To keep Christmas, and yet not to have received Christ as personal Saviour, is to trifle with the mercy God has mani- fested in the gift of His Son. Have we received Him for our very own, and are we seeking to glorify Him in our ways? "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to be- come the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS All the world would walk in darkness Had our Saviour not been born; Had the Shepherds found no Christ -child, There would be no Christ- mas morn; And no hearts would be rejoi- cing, But be filled with hate and scorn. No compassion for the sinner For no sins could be forgiv- en, For without the Cross of Cal- vary There could be no hope of Heaven; And no light would shine in darkness For no light would then be given, If no star shone o'er the man- ger Where the Son of God did lay, Were the Wise Men's journey futile There would be no Christ- mas Day. Only through God's tender mer- cy Was there ever made a way. All of life so bleak and dreary Without hope, for now or then, But God sent His Son to love us With a love beyond our ken; And Ile died in pain and sor- row To redeem earth's sinful men! eration of Musicians Union held in Stratford on Sunday, Joe holds the office of Sergeant - at -arms.
