Exeter Advocate, 1905-12-21, Page 4v , der Ctltt.', Sanders d: Creech, Propel. THURSDAY. DEC. 21,'05 ('URl "TJI.I.-'. Christmas is the Home Festival. It is the time when scattered families assemble under the pat ental roof. Political diffet•eneen and ecclesiastical divisions are set aside, and all are -children together again in the old home. The absent members of the family are remembered by the sending and receiving of kind messages and greetings. \Vith many the coming of Christmas means attending to many duties -so much shopping, so much hospitality, so litany Christmas cards and letters. Thece bower duties often so absorb our Owe and attention that we are apt to forget the real meaning of Ciaristinae. We ate celebrating the birthday of Jesus Christ. Birthdays are usually times of happiness, but no birthday has ever brought so much gladness to earth as that of Bethlehem nineteen hundred years ago. Each year Christmas greetings are being echoed by a larger circle. Christmas happiness is spreading throughout the world as year by year the message of Christmas is carried in- to new lands and takes possession of new hearts. The angels at Bethlehem sang out the Hest Christmas Carol - "Glory to God in the Highest; on Earth Peace, (food \Vitt toward !leu.', The world has been very slow to grasp the full meaning of this angelic song. Some are glad to glorify God in wor- ship but neglect their duty to roan in service. Some show their good will to men by visiting the wido.v and the fatherless and helping the •edy, but fail to give glory to Cod by cleans of .worship. The song of the angels re- minds us of the two duties of religion -a duty- to God•and a duty to man. The message of Christmas should cause ns to strive rnot•e and more to glorify Cod in all our worship and to have kindly feelings to others in all •011e• service. Saskatchewan Election. The exact result of the (lection in Saskatchewan which took place last week is still unknown, although the latest reports concede the return of Premier Scott. It is said that{ 12 Lib- erals and 10 Provincial !tights men have been elected, while three are in doubt. Sltil►ka Sunday School Xmas. Tree will he held to -morrow (Friday) evening. - 241 r.
