Revival Centre
Rev. Roger Mason conducted the
Sunday morning service. James'
Henry plgyed his guitar as he sang
Christmas isn't Just a Day.
Rev. Mason spoke from Galatians
4:4. This verse tells of the timing of
Christ's coming -- in the fullness of
time. God chose the right time. There
was peace with the Roman Empire in
control.
The whole world spoke a common
language, Greek, as well as their
native language. Because the
Romans were famous for road
building, there was an excellent,
system of roads, making travel easy.
All Jews were waiting for the promis-
ed Messiah throughout the Roman
Empire. Old religions were dying.
God sent forth His Son according to
John 3:16. Jesus' existence did not
start in Bethlehem. God introduced
His Son as a baby, born of a woman,
not a man. Although Jesus was God,
this speaks of His humanity. Jesus
was truly human, one of us, yet
without sin.
Jesus was born under the law,
Jewish, circumcised the eighth day,
under the law of God. Jesus perfect-
ly fulfilled the law. We are not
capable of doing that, because of sin.
Because Jesus was born of a virgin,
not of a man. He never had the sin
nature. This made Jesus the only one
who qualified to pay the price for our
salvation.
Rev. Roger Mason led in singing
Christmas carols Sunday evening.
Miss Vicki Sumner sang No Room, at
the start of a slide presentation. Mrs.
Judith Ross showed of the Christmas
story. The slides were filined live with
a dockey carrying Mary to
Bethlehem, with Joseph. In the inn,
the barn, baby Jesus was born. The
Magi rode camels to find Him. They
worshipped baby Jesus, then return-
ed home. The scenes were filmed at
the Bruce Henry farm and barn.
Rev. Mason ministered from Mat:
thew 2:1-8. The Magi came to
workship the baby born Ring of the
Jews. King Herod was troubled when
he heard of this birth, as this baby
was a threat to his throne. Many have
been troubled when presented with
the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus
desires to be King of our lives, which
troubles many. Believers will respond
to let Jesus rule their lives. But
unbelievers will not let Jesus rule
their lives.
Herod pretended to be interested to
find out where the Christ should be
born so he could worship Him.
A MINOR REFEREE -- Five year-old Kent Hardy dropped the puck

Friend Santa
By Brigid O'Connor
Grade 2 St. Patrick's Lutan.
Me and Santa went to deliver the
presents to the kids and we had such
enormous fun that we were done in
four minutes.
We came home and we put some
presents under Santa's tree and under
my little tree too. And we went to bed.
The next day me and Santa woke up
and we opened our presents. We lov-
ed the things that Santa made. Then
we ate breakfast. We had a nice time
on Christmas Day.
The end of my story.
SEALS CRY
By Andren Van Geel
(rade 7 Biddulph-Loran
At the break of dawn
In the deep blue sea
A baby seal and it's mother swam
along
watching and listening carefully
For the baby didn't understand the
humans on the huge ship near by
But the mother did and wanted to cry
for just as she was leading her baby
to hide
The sound of the harpoon echoed the
sky and the mother swarn away and
wondered why.
