Church News
On this fourth Sunday in Advent
the children were able to light all
four candles of the Advent Wreath,
and they filled the manger with all
missing figurines, Joseph, Mary
and the little child Jesus last.
In his children's story the Rev. K.
Teddy Smits spoke abo_ Ut a Roman
prince who had heard the story of
Jesus from a missionary but he did
not want to give his heart to Jesus.
On Christmas Eve he sat in his
fine dining room, at a well-filled
table. Just as he was starting to eat
he heard a tap at the window, and as
he looked up he saw the face of a
beautiful child and a sweet voice
said.. The Christ Child Is Hungry!
The prince was very angry and
told his sclldiers to chase the child
away. The soldiers carried out his
command, then as the prince looked
up the food turned to ashes. Again
he heard a rap and saw the child's
once mbre. This time the child said,
"The Christ Child is cold."
This time the prince was outraged
and ordered his soldiers to chase the
child away. Almost at once the
prince began to shiver and he or-
dered his servants to pile many logs
on the fireplace, but it did not do
any good. He became colder and
colder. Then the prince realized he
had made a mistake, and he went
out into the darkness to search for
the child.
He wandered about the streets and
found, in a small dark house a
mother with five,, children. They
were crying, they had no food, no
fuel, and very few clothes. The
prince took them to his palace and -
he fed them, clothed them and
warmed them. Then there was a tap-
ping at the window and the face of
the child was back again.
The Christ Child said In as much
as you have done it to the least of
my brothers, you have done it unto
me! The heart of the prince was
filled with joy and he gave it to Je-
sus. Christmas can only start in our.
hearts when we begin to help others
who are less fortunate than we are.
In his sermon Rev. K. Teddy
Smits spoke about the shepherds
who went to visit the young child
Jesus. As his text he had chosen St.
Luke 2:15b: Let us go over to Beth-
lehem and see the thing that has.
happened!
The shepherds were the first con-
gregation and the angel preached to
them and formed a choir. When the
service was over they responded and
went to Bethlehem to search for this
child and his parents. The mistake
which so many people make is that
they are glad to celebrate Christmas
The Christmas Eve Worship Ser-
vice will be held on December
8 p.m..Communion will be served
to Elimville and Thames Road peo-
ple. Everyone welcome.

Man made of snow
by Cathy Wagner
Stephen Central, Grade 5
Thcre was a man made of snow
And over the fields he would go
Ile would go in the night
Silent as a little light
In the morning he would be back
The children would make a stack
Of snowballs to throw at each other
And he did not mind
But when the time came to die
Ile would weep and he would sigh
It happened very quickly and he felt
no pain
Because it had to rain.

Reply on free trade
Dear Editor.
In response to Mark Bisset's arti-
cle titled "Free trade with U.S. is no
deal", Exeter T.A. Dec. 16. 1987, I
would like to point out a few things
that Mr. Bisset has chosen not to
include in his article.
First of all, the United Statcs has
nearly a five billion dollar trade defi-
cit with Canada; that means that
Canada exports more products to the
U.S. than the U.S. exports to Cana-
da by five billion dollars worth per
year. The U.S. also has an enor-
mous trade deficit with Japan.
Canada has a 3.4 billion dollar an-
nual trade deficit with Japan. Both
Canada and U.S. versus Japan trade
deficits have been caused mainly by
intense Japanese protectionism. In
an effort to cojTect this problem an
omnibus trade bill has been intro-
duced in the United States Con-
gress. This trade bill will caable the
U.S. to restrict imports from all
countries including Canada.
The idea of the Canada -US. free
trade agreement is to exempt Canada
from the effects of this legislation.
Approximately 80 percent of Ca-
nadian exports go to the United
States. There is no other major mar-
ket in the world to replace the Unit-
ed States.
The Canadian government tried to
expan)d'ollt4r_Lnarkets under the Tru-
ant] regime. TThhee.result- ,as dismal
failure.
So far as Canada finding more
trade abroad, there arc the so called
third world countries; these coun-
tries for the most part are willing to
buy products from Canada but are
unwilling and/or unable to pay for
them.
In regards to culture, the United
Kingdom has free trade with several
European countrics and I have not
seen any evidence that those people
have lost their cultural identity.
Until such time as those Canadi-
ans who oppose free trade come up
with a better alternative, their credi-
bility will remain in serious doubt.
Yours truly,
Hugh Connon.
