The approach of the Christmas season set the theme for the wor- ship service which was opened by Mrs. Nicholson with a Christmas reading. After a carol was sung, Mrs. Viola Campbell read scrip- ture from St. Luke's Gospel. Mrs. Carl Johnston then intro- duced three visitors, Mrs. Maria Andersen, a native of Denmark; Mrs. Marie deVos from Holland and Mrs. Maria Otvos from Hun- gary. During a panel discussion led by Mrs. Peecock, they told of Christmas in their homelands. In each instance, Christmas Day itself is a holy day to celebrate Christ's birthday. Secular cele- brations take place the night before or the day following. They reminisced on childhood days, the war years and their first im- pressions of Canada. Their dia- logue proved very interesting to their audience. In appreciation, thank -you gifts were presented to the visitors. Brussels UCW Mrs. Mathers closed the wor- ship service with prayer.
