They all have their wishes and goodwill to share But how different and varied those wishes elsewhere. In countries afar, torn with bloodshed and strife Those who survive mourn another lost life. Where famine threatens, disease, drought and heat Their wishes, just something to drink and to eat. Wandering, homeless, hungry and weak, They watch and are helpless, the future so bleak. Mothers with children, despair in their eyes Watch their babies succumb as another one dies. The suffering and injured, orphaned and poor Innocent victims of partisan war. So join in their wishes and prayers to increase The meaning of Christmas — the message of Peace.

What happened to Rudolf By Helen Owen The sleigh was ready and piled no high The reindeer were harnessed and standing by; But- where was Rudolf, the one at the head? Sadly he stood in the Reindeer shed. Elves and fai 'es stood around And restless, the reindeer pawed the ground. Then Santa came o t: "No need to fret, The problem is solved. I've called the vet." "The strangest symptom," is what he said, For Rudolf's nose was pink, not red! That famous nose, so shiny and bright Was dark and dim, not a glimmer of light. "Hold on to his head, and keep him still. I'm going to give him a Duracel pill." They waited expectant, and after a while The elves and Santa began to smile For Rudolf's proboscis began to glow And they led him out across the snow. Then Santa leapt up and reins in hand Away they went across sea and land. The elves all cheered now merry and bright As Santa flew through the Christmas night. The Christmas Star By Helen Owen "What's in this box, Mr. Gardner?" asked Jamie as he helped the owner close up the store on Christmas Eve. "Just some old trimmings I found. You can put them out with the garbage," replied Mr. Gardner. "If there's anything I'd like, may I have it? I mean maybe I can mend it for our tree at home." Mr. Gardner smiled. "Take what you like," he replied, "but I doubt there is anything worth having." Jamie rummaged through the box and his eye caught a sparkle among the faded red and green garlands. Carefully he pulled out his find. It was a crystal star and he gazed at it with delight. True there was a crack on one side and a hole in the middle, but he was sure he could do something about that. As soon as the store closed he hurried home. The family were waiting to have sup- per but insisted that he should first inspect the tree. It looked very pretty with popcorn, berries and the well loved familiar ornaments. "Pity we haven't anything to go at the top," said father. "We used to have a star but it seems to have disappeared." i Fellowship Bible Chapel 162 Maple Street Clinton SUNDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1987 9.45 o.m.

Jamie went up to his room after supper, polished up the star and glued the crack together. Then he looked around to find something with which he could fill the hole in the centre. Suddenly he had an idea. The young children were in bed and his parents busy in the kitchen. He found his mother's button box, and there was the very thing — a small silvery button set with rhinestones. Back upstairs, he had to work carefully to get it fitted into the hole, but at_ last it was done and he set it on the table beside his bed. Now he had to wait until the house was quiet and everyone upstairs, but at last his struggles to keep awake were rewarded. Very, very quietly he tiptoed downstairs. The street light shone through the window of the living room, and Jamie climbed on a chair and fixed the star at the top of the tree. In the morning Jamie was very sleepy, but he followed the others downstairs. They all gazed at the shining star in amazement. "Santa did bring a star for us after all," cried little Jane. But Jamie just smiled to himself and never said a word. • a , As we celebrate the gladness and the glory of this holy season, we'd like to express our deepest feelings of friendship and goodwill to all of you.
