"The time of prepuration"
"Behold the days are coming
says the Lord, when I will make
a new Covenant with the house
of Israel and the house of Judah,
not like the covenant I made
with their forefathers, when I
took them by the hand to bring
them out of the land of Egypt,
my covenant which they broke
for I will forgive their
iniquity, and I will remember
their sin no more". Jeremiah
31:31.
Many centuries ago the words
of the prophet were spoken
advising the people that some
day a new Covenant would be
made. As we approach the
festive season once- again it is
very easy to see that people are
preparing for to celebrate.
Surely we should ask ourselves,
"What preparation are we
making?".
Advent is a time of
preparation ---a time of getting
ready for Christmas, a time to
prepare to commemorate the
`Birth of the Christ Child. As we
look about ourselves we can be
very certain, of a change, of a
preparedness taking place; for
what? Sometimes we wonder if
the world truly knows the true
meaning of "Advent" of how it •
began and of what it stands for.
There . appears to be a never
ending realization that there is
such a thing as Christmas
coming, and if we want to make
the most of it now is the time to
get ready....but how?
Yes,' we install that jolly"
fellow in all the places he should
be we bring out the glitter,
we get busy with all the tools we
have and endeavour' to light up
our homes and any place where
color will add to the beauty we
use it, and so a great many folk
make use of Advent in this way.
It all must be done today for.
tomorrow will be too late, so
hopefully we begin to make the
most of our time. Perhaps many
of ,us feel that the more use. we
make of these weeks before
Christmas, the more festive and
joyful the time will be. But, how
can we in all our rush and hurry
come to something as important
as the celebration of" Christmas
and all its sacredness and not
give the time of Advent it's
inspired men years before the
Christ Child's Birth ,wrote pages
that might help people make
preparation for the greatest of
God's gifts. They didn't use the
same words the world is using
today but they were saying the
same thing that we should be.
hearing in the voice of , the
Advent season. Yet on all sides
we appear to just hear
"Christmas is coming get ready
for it".
This may be the time when
we should be allowing -the words
and the teachings of th
prophets of old to break through
those barriers that surround o
present day preparations. Todayco
our world is so concerned

The people of ages past
wanted and hoped, they

God's new • promise of
reconcilliation fulfilled and

Son. This is what we are going to
be celebrating. Perhaps we need
to remind ourselves of this as we
make the best use of the days of
preparation...the Advent Season.
All of our planning and working
may be beautiful to see, but the
real greatness lies in the wonder
and message of God's Drama in
History. Therefore as we look
forward to the joy and gladness
of Christmas let us not miss
God's part, may we allow Him
to share with and guide us

A Christmas message
. from Army leader
In a special message,
Commissioner Clarence D.
Wiseman, leader , of The
Salvation Army, expressed the
hope that Canadians will take
time this year to think of the
real meaning of Christmas.
Behind the gift -giving, the
parties and the gay lights, he
reminds Canadians, are certain
facts of history. The primary
fact is that "the Word became
fleshand dwelt among us",
which is the New Testament way
of ' stating that at Christmas,
God,, in the person of the
Christ -Child, broke into time
and space to show men how to
live! It happened in a place that
can be located on a map, and at
a moment that can be dated on a
calendar.
The second fact is the
resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Some try to explain this event
away, but for the Christian it is
part of history. Christmas, which
is concerned with Christ's birth,
cannot be fully understood
without the Resurrection.
Commissioner Wiseman states
that the third ungainsayable fact
is the existence of the Christian
Church, and its continuity over
1900 years. It is composed of
fallible humans, and so at times
has 'been a dismal failure.

Parish Council receives
approval for draperies
The regular monthly meeting
of St. Peter's Parish Council was
held on ' Monday evening,
November. 30th, in the Parish
Hall with the Chairman, John
Buchanan presiding. The
meeting opened, with prayer by'
Father Moynahan, followed by
the reading of the minutes of the
last meeting by' Mrs. Stimson.
Mrs. Mary 'Donnelly 'for the
Temporal Committee reported
regarding draperies for the altars
in the sanctuary: that they had
received approval for the
purchase and that part of the
order was here now and it was
hoped the balance would arrive
in a short time. If there is going
to be any great delayit was
suggested the drapery for main
altar might 'be put up and the
two side altars covered later
when the draperies are received.
The ceiling on the right hand
side altar is to be repainted to
match the wall. This matter was
left in the hands of the
Temporal Committee chairman
to have completed before the
draperies are installed.
It was reported by Father
Moynahan that a donation had
been offered anonymously
towards the cost of draperies for
one of the altars.
Father Moynahan submitted
a sample of the new stations of
the Cross which,were of hand
carved wood ba German
craftsman of New Hamburg. The
members of the Board were
unanimous in their decision to
proceed with ordering this
design, • which will take
approximately four months to
complete. In the meantime small
temporary Stations of the Cross
were placed in the church until
the' new ones arrive. Father
Moynahan . also . submitted
pictures of two new carved
wood statues for the sanctuary,
made by the same craftsman-. He
is to investigate size' which -
would be most suitable and
report back on the cost.
Mrs. Muriel Murphy reported
on the success of the Twilight
Retreat for women which was
held in October, which was very
well attended. Mrs. Robinson is
preparing both the Children's
and the Adult Choir for
Christmas. The Senior Choir will
sing a Latin Midnight Mass on
Christmas Eve.
Pete McCauley for the
Temporal Committee was asked
to arrange to change the
floodlighting on the sign in front
Notwithstanding this, the
Church has maintained a quality
of life, and a witness of God's
redemptive action through
Christ, that have withstood
detractors without and 'critics
within. It remains the major
humanising force in our society
today,.
"Jesus Christ gives real
understanding of what it means
to- be human", the
Commissioner says. "He bridges
the gulf between the world of
the Spirit and the secular world
of things. He rejects neither, but
puts the Spirit firmly in the
saddle.
"Jesus respected people. He
didn't view them as objects to be
managed and manoeuvred in the
interests of others. A person is
of infinite value. And a person
can find true fulfilment, become
really human, through faith in
Jesus Christ! Actually, this is
what Christmas is all about."

' ' The President of the Assem-
blies of i3od in the U.S.A., Dr.
Thomas F. Zimmerman, re-
ports: "When two Assemblies
of God missionaries recently
visited Cabana, Peru, for the
first time, they discovered
that God's Word had preceded
them there — thanks to the
National Bible Society. Sever-
al years before, a colporteur,
or distributor, had soid a bible
to one of Cabana's citizens,
Florencio Reyes, who was
joined by his brother in read-
ing and studying the book. The
two became convinced that the
Bible is God's Word. They ac-
cepted Christ as. their Sav-
iour. Reading that believers
are to be baptized they per-
formed the rite for one an-
other. The missionaries' arrival
was in answer to the Reyes
brothers' prayer that mod
would send someone to teach
them more about His Word.
The visitors could not- stay,
but they helped the brothaers'
start services. As a result, to-
day Cabana has 4, thriving
Church which hef ids the
Gospel to the lost in that
community.
