She stated that to many, the most important thing in life is buying gifts at this time. Magazines are full of sugges- tions, stores display everything, even internationally -made arti- cles but not one word is said of gifts that are a token of love and require sacrifice to give. She con- cluded with the heart-warming story of a missionary in a far-off land who had her prayer an- swered to have guests share her Christmas dinner. This was not only her happiest, but also her most memorable Christmas, even though members of the group were total strangers. Roll call was answered with a favorite quotation for Christmas. Several letters of thanks were read and the birthday..4(1x was passed. Mrs. J. King is in barge of sending cards and gifts to shut- ins and sick members. Several gifts of money were sent; one to the group's prayer partner, Rev. Canon J. Long in Nakina, On- tario. Mrs. Hawthorn reported some information regarding the World Day of Prayer to be held at St. Paul's in March and Mr. Haw= thorn closed the meeting • with prayer, The January meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. E.

As an introduction to the Christmas program, an inter- esting account of the carol "0 Little Town of Bethlehem" was given. The poem was composed by Phillips Brooks, and later set to music whicrh is enjoyed by so many today. The roll call indicated that a total of 76 visits had been made by members., to the sick, and others confined to their homes. Interesting reports of the work of the various committees serving for the year 1972 were submitted, as well as the report of the nomi- nating committee for the ensuing year. The offertory prayer was given by Mrs. G. Francis. The worship service was under the convehership of Miss Agnes Williamson and Mrs. TomaCurrie. The scripture reading from St. Luke, telling of Jesus' birth was given by Mrs. Jack McKague. Miss Lilla Taylor conducted the meditation basing the message on the age -long query, "Who is he?" Throughout the years this is the question being asked. For some it began in Bethlehem on the night of Jesus' birth. In an- swer ' to inquiries Joseph an- swered that the name of the tiny baby was Jesus, so named "for • He shall save his people from their sins." When Jesus was brought ,to the temple at Jerusa- lem by his parents, He was re- cognized by an old man named Simeon as the One whom the Lord had rpromised as a light for revelation to the Gentiles. At Bethany, John the Baptist, a big, rugged man,. was urging men to repent of their sins and to pre- pare the way for the coming of the Lord. One very special day, while the priests and Levites stood around watching, a stran ger approached. As they looked at him their idle. curiosity was sparked and they wondered "Who is he?" John answered them. "Behold," he said, "the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world! This is He... • LOVH:e lY Wedding • ...a radiant • i• 45rido. ;' rneeting And so it went. Everywhere people were asking the same question. Then one day 01 a hill- side near Jerusalem an angry, sullen crowd watched as He was nailed to the cross with the in- scription `Jesus, 10%4.70. • the Jews." And still we ask andse tt-ch the scriptures for the answer. We find that He wasted, that He was Life and alight. That beautiful Life and that won derf'4 Light shone in the darkness of the world nearly 2,000 years ago. Aid it still shines today. But the rally im- portant answer to this qitestion is the one which can be given in our hearts alone. - Two contrasting solos were sung. by Mrs. E. Beard, "Carol- ling, Carob ling; Carolling," and "The Star Carol." The topic, "dark the Glad Sound," was conducted by Mrs. H. Aitchison, Miss- Leah Currie and Miss Agnes Williamson. In Luke's gospel we. find one of the great, well loved hymns of the church. It is part of the nativity story and is known as the Mag- nificat. It is a 'beautiful poem and has been used as a song of praise from earliest times in the Chris- tian church. Shortly after the angel brought - to Mary the, won- derful tidings, she went to visit her cousin, Elisabeth. It is on her arrival that she sings this song of praise to God. The jubilant song pours from her heart, and ,con- tains a rich heritage of spiritual meaning. The Magnificat is full of Old Testament quotations and lan- guage. Mary's song is full of her happiness and deep humility. The . whole • hymn was inspired by God's great act in the promised sending of 'His son. When our hearts are filled to over -flowing with praise and thanksgiving, we 'cannot help. but show our joy. We find joy in thankfulness and co n- rnitment to God our Father, His Son. The joy He gives no one can take away. ° The meeting was concluded with the singing of a carol, and the closing prayer offered by Mrs. Bert Holmes, following which lunch was served and a social .hour enjoyed. nd -r r• . • so dear to a Iridis heart...
