CHRISTMAS SERVICES
AT NORTHSIDE
The Jr. and Sr. Choirs led the
Carols at the Christmas Ser-
vices at Northside. Isa the morn-
ing, Rev. J. W. Stinson preached
on the theme: "The Silvery
Trumpets of Christmas". The
trumpets of Faith, Love and
Courage call us to live as active,
dynamic followers of the Christ.
Salvation by faith means noth-
ing to us unless we exercise that
faith. Freedom of speech means
nothing unless we have some-
thing to say. The phrase, the
priesthood of all believers, is
empty, if we never act as priests,
nor lift up a prayer. "Christmas
is the time of allowing God's
Love to be born anew in our
hearts." The Choirs' sang the
Carols: "Jesu Bambino"; "Come
Marie, Elizabette" and Solo:
"Winds through the Olive Trees"
by Gene Nixon. At 7 p.m. the
Carol Service was rich in color
and harmony. With Scripture
portions and 'Carols the Story of
the Coming of the Christ was
told. Among the Carols were:
Tonne's "ung, 0 Heavens",
"The Little Road to Bethlehem",
"Whence come this rush of
Wings","The Virgin's Lullaby"
and baert's "Joyous Christ-
mas Story". The Combined
Choirs sang the beautifully ar-
ranged Carol: "And there were
Shepherds." The choirs were led
by Miss Mabel Turnbull a'id Mr,
and Mrs. Jas. A. Stewart.
BUSH MUTILATED
BY TREE VANDALS
A farmer living on the out-
skirts of Seaforth was looking
for "No Trespassing" signs to
put up on his property early
this week. His bush lot is being
mutilated by people taking
Christmas tree.
"I would not mind so much if
they came and took a -tree", he
said, "but some hack up half a
dozen trees, cut the tops of oth-
ers and leave them on the
ground".
Wanton destruction of private
trees each year takes away some
of the joy of the Christmas sea-
son for anyone possessing ever-
greens.
A valuable decorative tree or
a whole bush lot, it makes no
difference when thoughtless peo-
ple go looking for Christmas
trees.
CLEARING LAND
A bulldozer has been at Work
clearing seventeen acres of land
belonging to Harold Jacicson;
which was the former Leopold
VanE mond property. The land
was orrnerly pasture And, mi-
med for many years, had grown
Up with thorn apple trees, Mr.
Jackson intends to put in a crop
next season.
