For years he worked hard struggling until the day came, that he built a successful National Sales Organization. He was made president. He was at the top. At last he found excitement and happiness. Then one day his world began to crumble. The New York Office closed; then the Chicago office. It wasn't long until the terri- ble day came and his last office was closed. Slowly he walked to the parking lot, got in- to his car and headed home. He entered the house hoping to hear his wife say, "Is that you dear?" However she was not there. She had left a note saying she had gone shopping and would be late. He sat down in the living room chair. He was crushed. He couldn't be more depressed. Suddenly the door opened. It was his little girl coming home from school. "Daddy what are you doing home so ear- y"Well honey, daddy is changing jobs, but let's not talk about it now." Then the girl jumped on his lap, gave him a big hug and kiss - "Oh daddy, I love you so much." That did it. He broke. His lips began to quiver." His little girl asked, "Daddy, whats wrong?" "Nothing," he said, Nothing, absolutely nothing is wrong." He meant it. At that moment, he discovered what he always wanted and it was right before his eyes. He strove to be successful so he could be accepted and lov- ed. What he had been looking for was there all the time in the love of his wife and little girl. During the Christmas season, we need to evaluate our priorities, our possessions. What is really important to you? These things are not wrong in themselves, belt if MINISTER'S 4° t they are our gods, our aims, our aspirations, we are destined to unhappiness. In Matthew 6: 0-21, Jesus reminds us not to 'lay up our treasures upon earth, where rust and moth- doth corrupt, but in heaven where rust and moth doth not corrupt.' Jesus goes on to say, 'Where your treasure is, there will yourheart be a o.' Someone has said, 'You don't see a U- ul trailer behind the hearse. You can't take it with you! ! Jesus was talking about thing$ that are far greater and nobler, than the material things of this world. Our riches and happiness are found in our relationship with Jesus Christ, our wife, husband, children, friends and the hope and promise of eternal life. Jesus states, "What does it prosper a man if he gains the whole' world, but looses His soul?" At the same time we, need-to.'evaluate what we will give this Christmas. God gave His only begotten Son (John 3: 16). For many, it seems ridiculous, that Christ would come to a Iolyly and dirty manger in Bethlehem, that instead of sitting on a throne, holding an authoritative office, he'd be only a carpetner's son, that he'd sit with sinners and publicans and before He left this earth, He'd be rebuked, mocked and hung on the cross. Scripture reminds us that God's ways are not our ways. We thank the Lord for doing it, His way, so that our sins could be forgiven, that we might have everlasting life. This Christmas we may feel the best way to show our love is by buying things, that V.C.R., expensive clothes, a trip abroad, an envelope full of cash. Instead plan on spending valuable time with your spouse, your children; visiting your grandparents, your loved ones. The greatest gift you can give, is the priceless gift, only you can give - yourself. Slomans talk about railway school The November variety concert at Mackay Centre was arranged by Barbara McWhin- ney. With Joan Henwood at the piano, Bar- bara read a poem entitled "Another Season". Ed Stiles in his usual musical role played several old familiar tunes on the piano. Herb Bridle introduced guests, Mrs. Sloman and her daughter Margaret Sloman from Clinton. From 1926 to 1964 Mr. and Mrs. Sloman taught school in a railway car. They travelled through isolated areas of Northern Ontario teaching parents as well as children. The car would stay on a siding for about a week and then be moved to another location. One end of the car was living quarters and the other used as a school. The railway car No. 15089 is now in Sloman park in Clinton and is in the process of being restored to its original design. Miss Sloman showed slides of the school car and some of the areas it travelled through. Also had many interesting slides of it in its present location. After the slide presentation, Mrs. Sloman answered many questions asked by the audience. Just recently she has received the order of Canada Award in recognition of the ac- complishments she and her husband made in the educational field. This was a most in- teresting evening for those attending. The Slomans, who are very interested in horticulture, brought five pots of planted paper white narcissus bulbs which were presented to the people that had helped with the program. Joan Henwood played for a lively sing song and we were surprised to have a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus who gave everyone a candy cane. A short film on the "River Thames" as it flows through London, England was very colorful and interesting. Russel Alton, president of MacKay Centre announced the dates of coming events in- cluding pot luck luncheon and movie at 12:30 on Dec. 6, a card party on Tuesday, Dec. 10 and the variety concert on Dec. 13. Tickets are available for the New Year's Eve party. Winners at the card party in November were for 500, Irene Harnack and Esther Gib- son, euchre, Margaret Thorndike and B. Gow and door prizes Bill Caescer, Bill McTaggart, Kitchener Finnigan and Olive McArthur. Maitland residents entertained Lois McGill and her group were in charge when the Evening Unit of North Street United Church Women met for their November meeting at Maitland Manor. The excellent program was well received by the residents. Jean Bettaer opened the meeting with ap- propriate verses selected from Corinthians. Irla Stewart led the junior choir while they sang "Consider The Lillies," "Love His Name" a musical play taken from the Ten Commandments and finally "First Christmas Morn" accompanyied by Janet Thompson. Doris Hamilton followed wit)) a reading called "Happiness". Denise, Joy and Cathy Johnston from Goderich Township step -danced into the hearts of everyone present. Everyone joined in to sing "Blest Be The Tie That Binds." We all enjoyed a poem and a reading given by Doris Patterson and Vera Hagle. Everyone joined in for a sing -song with Irla Stewart at the piano, while Lou Bundy and Jean Hanly led us through all the old favourite songs.
