Stanway, Minister off Brucefield United Church, and Ch'a'lxxnasi Clinton Council of Churches. As one looks .out upon the world today, at'least two thoughts arise •—'that the world is in extreme need of the true Christmas Spirit; and that just how many people, caught in the midst off the hurry and flurry of Christmas, really know or ex- perience the true spirit of Christmas. So often at this time of the yea, we ,becoBle so (burdened down with the business of shopping .and celebration., of festivity, and of giving to one am - other, that we are to great danger of becoming lost in the midst of tJhings that axe in direct opposition to the Christtnas Spirit. How then shall we describe the 'Christmas Spirit? I am reminded of a story I read the other day. A little boy sitting upon his father's knee on Christmas Eve, gazed in wonder at their ,Christmas tree, al taglaw ht candle light. As the hour was late, 'he finally fell asleep and dreamed a dream, An angel came and snuffed out all the candles on the tree except the one oast the very tap. This one the angel took, sand lgivihig it to the little boy, said, "Here is the ,candle of Christmas light •awed love, Never let it Igo out". Arousing ]From his sleep the little boy said, "Don't let the angel go away, daddy; and don't let the candle go out." There s the point. On that Christmas ano'rn so long ago, Gad 'sent His IChr0*tl Ras .lilght and love into the •w'ox'id. Christ carried that Christmas light and love into the earth with an exceedingly great. brilliance, He .has passed iihart light on to us that we'sthaills nie 1'lao*1t iia 'go'ant, but rattier send.it forth to the uttermad parts ,of the nth, There is our task. To have the Christmas Spirit is to be filled with tate light and love of the Christ. Unless we do this, our celebrations and our festivi- ties, our giving ;and receiving, will be as soundingbrass a �'�g cymbal. Let that light shine out upon the earth ,and xnen will be bound .together in the fellowship of Christ, and 4±e conferences of men will echo to the sound of the Christen' in the unity of 'brotherhood, as bens n © Q CHRISTMAS, 1947 By Rev. S. J. McDonald, Reetor of St. Joseph's Roman Carbholic Church, Clinton, anti! 'St. Michael's, Blyth In a world Which 18 about to celebrate the Birth of Christ, there is admittedly much 4ihat contradicts all that Christmas stands for. Suspicion attt'i distrust among nations, the failure of international conferences, civil war and riots, the spectre of hunger 'hanging over• a !good part of the human race .-- all are a direct denial of that peace, order and good -will which the .Prince of Peace came to bring to mankind, The disillusioned say: Why celebrate Is not that a mockery of Christmas It would be indeed, if you consider only the human ele- ment. But itt is to forget Christ. For. jdnst as at His coming at Bethlehem He brought peaceto men of 'good -will, so to- He continues to point, for all. who care to see, to that way wvhihh 'alone leads' to ,peace. In return He asks the homage, f and love which are His due. That'service rendered, we shall be as apostles in a world which s'a'dly needs t o follow the Star that led the Wise Men to the feet of the world's. Creator .acrd Lord. To all 'reader of The NEWS -RECORD, may I extend MS Christmas Greeting: that as we twain recall the (blessed mid- night scene when. Stepped into time from ev May He, the Lord of Might, el lastiuUgiwell ,g4r , floe you His Jay, and may you dwell forever in the sweetness of His Peace.
