Stinson Yesterday, I (heard a 'love choir of children's voices sing "`For why the 'bells at •Ohristm ring." It was one of those 'd'e rightful Carols that set yo thinking. For as the song un folds, your mind begins to bur from one memory picture to an other, pictures of home an school :and Church. 4 suppose i is 'because 'I was 'brought tura the farm that I feel that it i there 'that the fullest enjoymen of-iOhristmas can be realized. Fo there the whole tapestry of th greatest Season of all is unroll ing before your eyes, that is, 1 you have the understanding t see it, What fun it is, to revel i the snow 'between the house an the barn, the feathery sno piled over fence and Ibuildin like the icing on a cake. Th .drifts formed in 'cathedral shag just inviting one to 'burro through and form a tunnel. Th barn never looked so clean and white' before. The rush of the chores, for everything wants to be fed at once, brings a deep a holy oly satisfaction' in being vitally useful. Then when quietness begins to settle 'throughout the whole horn, a 'Carol from the radio stirs the mind: "In the bleak mid -winter Frosty 'wind made moan, stood hard as iron, e ly as u n d t o s e f 0 n d w g e es w e PROCLAMATION Boxing Day BY RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL I HEREBY PROCLAIM Tuesday, Dec. 27 (BOXING DAY) a Holiday for the Town of Seaforth, and respect- fully request the citizens and business men to observe same Stores to remain open all day Wednesday, December 28 E. A. McMASTER MAYOR God Save the Queen Town of Seaforth NOTICE P7-RISlN6 By order of police, to facilitate snow removal, no parking on the Streets of this Municipality will be allowed between the hours of 2 A.M. and 8 A.M. This order will be strictly enforced in accord- ance with the Highway Traffic Act - Section 43, Subsection 9. Notice is hereby given that the said Municipality will not be responsible for any damages caused to parked vehicles as the result of snow removal operations Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow en snow,, Snow on snow, in the bleak mrd -winter Long ago. Our God, heaven cannot hold Him Nor earth sustain; Heaven and earth shall flee away When He comes to reign; in the bleak mid -winter A stable -place sufficed The Lard God Almighty , Jesus r 49't .Gh ri , "A stable place . , " here it was, a 'barn, :somewhat like this, with the cattle gaietly feeding, where Jesus was 'born. This passage way in which I stand is holy ground. The Man- ger there, how it seems to glow with .holy light. Wit9i glowing wonder in the heart we make our way back to the arouse again, for at 'Christ- mas it (holds great attraction. My, but a farm kitchen has a fragrance about it, a sprig of spruce or evergreen here :and there,' a few garlands, but albove all, those exotic perfumes of spiced foods, the gingers, ibhe cloves, 'the :cinnamon. Over there the pile of cookies, ,here pies and tarts; then mother opens •bile oven door and there 'comes that sizzling sound of roast chicken arriving at that golden brown of perfection. One turns to the living -room and there the tree stands in 'ail its glory, it fairly makes ore's heart stand still. Sister rushes in and adds a !belated gift to the pile beneath the :tree and then tarns to 'count aloud again ,the expected rela- tives, "There'll be Austin and Grace, 'Ruth and Bert, 'Clara and Elsie . and where will we set the 'twins ." Mother dashes down 'cellar to see about the !pickles and the preserves. Oh 'but it's fun around the house at Christmas . . its all so mys- terious and tlrriiling, . . . .who wouldn't move heaven and earth if need be, just to be home for 'Christmas. I will never forget the 'coun- try School at :Christmas for pic- tures £load across the memory. "Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh .. and the bells really jingled. The concert of 'course was the high- light. We had prepared dor it for weeks. (Drills, dialogues, skits and recitations. How we memorized and toiled at them how 'we grumbled and groomed, !but .oh how we loved it all. And when little 'Jimmy forgot his part, we could 'prompt him from the front seat for we knew it as well as he did. It was fun to see the neighbors all together, crowded into the school seats. There was (handsome John sitting behind .the angelic Ruth and when he gave me a scribbled note to hand forward, I read it. The note said: "I love you now, I'll love you ever. Let IChristnuas joys go on forever." 'That was a concert to remember, for a few years later !I played their wed- ding march. But the gifts around that school tree were al'w'ays simply 'baffling. They were there in such a variety of sizes, shapes and weights. We curious 'boys were always getting caught by teacher, but somehow we didn't seem to mind it. Our inquisitive natures were always :getting 'the best of us. Some of the parcels would be lumpy and hard., oth- ers soft and smooth. "I wonder, no, it couldn't be that, that's strange, it's marked `John' but Ashen, there are three `Johns' in OUT school, oh dear." Then in would come Santa !Claus, the best actor in the community. We usually fell asleep in ,the sleigh while going !home. The !Carol which the children sang the other day brouglht to mind the picture of our old Church in all its lovely 'Christ- 'mas splendour. 'Christmas Sun- day was a day that needed 'de- finite planning in our family, but it always moved along with ease as though there was no plan. We always took our lunch with us so that after the morn- ing service we could stay in the afternoon for 'Sunday !School. Then after 4 pan. we hurried home to do 'the chores so that we could return for the evening service. It wasn't unusual for our family to spend five or six hours in. our 'Ohurch on !Christ- mas Sunday. Five of the family sang in the choir, and .there seemed to be always final re- hearsals going on for something or other and another was busy drilling cher mind on the 'lesson ehe was planning to teach the Bible !Glass. The evening 'Carol service was ever a ,delight, for ,the minister had planned and ar- ranged with his leaders the!beau- tiful' and inspiring !Nativity Scene. I liked to sit in the gal- lery and watch and listen. He always chose 'one of the loveliest girls as Mary and how glad any of us (boys were when we were chosen -as Joseph or one of the Kings. Once I was chosen as the little 'Shepherd and thoroughly disgraced myself when I tripped on my trailing gown and meas- ured my length in the aisle, much :to the .deliglvt of .all my school mates, I shall not forget one of the stories, our Minister, Mr. Gifford told on one of these memorable 'Christmas nights, it ran like this: "One !dark night, a young soldier,. (posted at a sen- try box before the barracks, heard the hoof 'beats of his Cap- tain's horse. He went quickly out and offered his salute, and then stood there like a marble statue until the .Captain .called out: "What good is a salute on a dark night? 'Open the gate, so that I can ride in!" Then said my Minister: "There is a searoh- ing thought here for all of us." Lifting his eyes to us wlio sat silently watching in the gallery, Mr. Gifford continued: "Of [what use are all the honors we pay Jesus at this 'Christmas Season if we do not give Him entrance into our hearts? Will you not come then even as the Kings and Shepherds have come, + bring ing your gifts and adoration. Let Him eo.me into your heart and present to IIim your obed- ience, your will, your very life?" As our family wound their way !homeward that nightalong bile snowy sideroad and ILD the lath concession, the final Choir Carol sang in our hearts and from Our "What can I give IHiin, Poor' as I am? If I were a 'Shepherd, .I would bring a lamb, If S were a [vise man, I would do, e y •part; What 4 oan� I give Him Give any heart."
