Chapter. Mrs. Lane spoke 9n
"Bethlehein,"after which Mrs. G.
Dustow ,epressed appreciation for
her fine address.
Following is the address, in part,
of Mrs. Lane on "Bethlehem":
Bethlehem, to a great many
people, is a beeutiful word, a word
lovely in its associations, a word
that has become glorified in many.
languages. Bethlehem, translated
into our language, means "The
House of Bread."
The word, therefore, is particu-
larly .fitted to carry the Christmas
message of loveliness,. romance
and grandeur, suggesting a cradle
and the eternity of Divine love and
life.
There have been many great ex-
periences associated with Bethle-
hem. Rachel, the wife of Jacob,
was buried there 4000 years ago.
It was frail Bethlehem that Naomi
went out from exile to Moab and
came back again with Ruth, who
has cast her spell over the wheat
fields for more than 2000 years.
David, Isreel's greatest king, was
born in that town and it was water
from the well in Bethlehem for
which he longed when he hid from
his enemies before coming to the
throne.
But when we sing, "0 Little
Town of ISethlehem,' we are not
speaking of a mythical place. We
are speaking of a town of today

with a long, long history. It is
only seven miles from Jerusalem.
There are still shepherds and their
flocks there. There is a church
there, built by Constantine the
Great. One must go down below
the ground level and there you
will find a cave. In the cave you
will see a star and in the floor
of the cave is a sign inscribed,
"Here, Jesus ,Christ was born" of
the Virgin Mary.
Human nature likes facts and it
is a comfort to us to rememberthat our Saviour was born in a
place which we know about. But
Bethlehem is not only a place, it
is a loyalty, a passion of faith and
love. It means the beginning of
Christian' faith. The word was
made flesh. A God who cute sharp.
ly through our smugness, complac-
ency and hypocrisy and tears down
our little wall of race or color or'
predjudice.
Today, false Gods are nailing.
Mars, the God of war is still active,
Mammon, the God of greed and
self, sits on a high throne, lording
it over the lives of a great multi-
tude. We can nevera be satisfied
until Jesus is born right within our-
selves and we become loyal to Him
and His way of life.
The Christian festival is just an
opportunity for everyone to build
his own Bethlehem in his heart and
life.

Own Imagination
••
"The SWMstiAl art ieaeher will
encourage the child to use '8 own
imagination," said Sherman MiZer,
of Stratford Teachers' C/lege, in
an address here.
He was epeaking to members of
the Goderich Unit of the Federa-
tion of Women Teachers' Aesocia-
tions of Ontario, along with other
teachers from the surrounding
district.
At the meeting in Goderich Pub-
lic School auditor/ems, Mr. Miller
Vas introduced by Q. G. Gardi er,
inspector of public, schools for
Huron. Speaking on "Art in the
Elementary Schools," Mr. Miller
said:
"Children are blessed with an
imagination and have the urge to
create. The teacher ilvho under-
stands art will teach the child to
develop an intereOt in it.
"Through a child's picture, he
tells us much more than he can
exp ess in conversation. One does
r
not have to be an artist to teach
art in our schools. Children are
natural picture -makers."
Mr. Miller had a splendid dis-
play of actual art -pieces represent-
ing the different age groups in the
elementary school.
The use of tempera paint, color-
ed chalk, box sculpture and many
other interesting art techniques
were shown by Mr. Miller.
Words of thanks to the speaker
were expressed by Miss E. Hume,
of the Goderich Public School
staff.
