1Vlemary Verse: And the Angel
said unto them, Fear not: for. be-

great joy, which shall be to all
people. For unto you is born this
day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord. Luke
2:10,11.

No, bt;r 1,y too many it has never
been tried. Where Jesus Christ
reigns in the heart there is peace

crowded out by the love of money,

The world has suffered long;

"CLIMBING" TO SLEEP
Every now and again someone
thinks up a mew ';cure" for sleep-
lessness. Here is the latest told
by a doctor.
As you lie awake 00 your bed,
you imagine au endless ladder ex-
tending to the stars. (if you can
visualize a golden ladder—all the
better') \on imagine yourself
slowly climbing the ladder, rung
by rung.
Put there's a snag, says the doc-
tor. Before you can scale half a
dozen rungs, something goes wrong
and you find yourself having to
start all over again, just as you do
when you try to count sheep. Not
until you have "reached" the
twentieth rung do you find yom'-
.self drifting into sleep. Next time
you can't sleep, try this inetltcttf is
the specialist's advice.

without any war worries? Seems
to me that with almost every Christ -
Inas that Coates arouutt We are
either in the middle of a war; or
grieving about a war just past, or
worrying about a war that may
Materialize in the not too distaut
future. If we so desired we could
think of little else but war—worry
over it be day and dream about it
by night—mrd after all where would
that get us? \Vorrying al,olt things
absolutely beyond our control never
has got anyoue anywhere yet. And
by that I don't mean that we should
not concern ourselves Leith the
present grave crisis But thinking
.and worrying are too different
things. Thinking is, or should be,
constructive.' Worrying produces a
muddle-headed, defeatist attitude.
The chronic worrier stakes life
miserable for himself and those
with whole he is in daily contact.
And there is no limit to the:things
a person eats find to worry about
—the high cost of living, what the
government does or doesn't do, the
free and easy way the •young folic
live, the weather, if we get too
much rain, the dust if we get too
little; present day education° ---and
of course, the threatening war
clouds—and the atom bomb, yes,
there is _so much in life we cannot
prevent but if we are called upon
to face major problems we can at
least rail on our reserve supply of

energy and intelligence and not let
it get us down. There are times
when tlie worst enemy we have to
face is our own fear. If we cannot

Perhaps I sound a bit "preachy"
—but maybe I ant just talking to
myself because oftentimes 1 find
myself worrying when it isn't neces-
sary at all. As, for instance, this
last Saturday. Niece Babs was to
arrive on the noon bus—end prob-
ably daughter as well. Satueday
forenoon the weather was terrible
—rain, sleet, ice and fog. I had
visions of them having an awful
bus ride from Toronto—but I also
knew that in the city they would
not realize what the road and wea-
ther conditions would be like in the
country. So 1 phoned Babe and
explained my worry and suggested
it might be wise to postpone her
visit. She was quite surprised, ob-
viously disappointed and not in the
least alarmed about the trip, Of
course I told her to please herself
and that I would meet the bus any-
way. Well, she arrived, despite fog
and road conditions. And the bus
was on tithe—it ]vas I that was
late! Had to stop and wipe off the
spark plugs before the car would
start. Daughter did not conte at all.
She phoned later to say she was
busy papering the hall, We have
strong competition in that house of
hers.

Sunday, afternoon Labs :Led I
started out for a little drive—just
up the road to see how our new
paved highway was getting on. It
should have heel] finished by now
but last week's winter storm made
that impossible so down near our
way we still have a gravel road.
And did we know it1 It was very
slushy but I rlicl' not realize what
we had let ourselves in for until a
truck carte along. As he pasted its
the flying shish coverer: my poor
little car from roof to rubber. The
windshield was completely coated
and was tuo much for the wipers
to clean off. So 1 must perforce get
out and cleats it with a clout. Alt
was well until we stet another car
--a big ear, By this time I realized
a little English car has its disad-
vantages, It was like a little boy
having his face plastered by a big
bully—although I must admit that
in this case neither the truck nor
the ears could help what they did
--it was the size and weight of
them that was responsible.My poor
little infant didn't so much as spins!'
the fenders of the other cars. Bobs
and I finally ducked every time we
saw a ear coming—we both felt
es if the flying mud must surely
coma right through the Windshield.
After half -all hour's drive we were

The joyous family reunion is a tradition
in out Canadian celebration of Christmas. The gaily
decorated Christmas tree, loaded with gifts
.. , the holly wreaths ... the laughter and
excitement . . , the tantalizing aroma
that heralds the Chtistnnas dinner .. , alt
affirm that Christmas time is family time.
During the past year Calvert has paid tribute to
the various racial groups which comprise
the great Canadian Family, At this Christmas
season of happy family gatherings we wish
to salute all Canadian families with the words
written by Calvert himself over three hundred yeas
ago; ":Gay all happiness attend you".
