PHONE 41 Authorized as Second Class Mail Post Office Department, Ottawa SEAFORTH, Friday, December 23 And It Came To Pass Luke 2:1-10 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Gali- lee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem (because he was of the house and lineage of David), -to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that while they were there, the days were accom- plished that she could be delivered. And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the ilul. And there were in the same coun- try shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, "Fear not: for, behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all peo- ple. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men." And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, "Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us." And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a man- ger. And when they had seen it, they made known unto us." And there was told them concerning this child. And all who had heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds return- ed, glorifying and praising God for all the things. that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. —The End. _.%'.T.•�T'';T.iitrn .,.A ,r,.% ?':' !f;: tr:' ,f..r.' ,r.a. ,f ::' t ,.r tr:' , .,+ tr:' , a� ,' (g With this, the greatest of holidays before use, we join in the good wishes of the world to promote good fellowship in the real spirit of Christmas.

Wins Buttermaking Prizes A good record was hung up by the Wingham U.C.O. Creamery in the Ontario Creamerymen's com- petitions this past summer. Prizes were awarded at the association's annual convention in Toronto this month. Buttermaker G. MacKay was presented with fourth prize in the workmanship competition, and buttermaker G. Perrott was credited with 7th place in the com- bined competitions. In addition to these prizes, the U.C.O. creamery also won honorable mention in the butter quality and the yeast and mould competitions. The latter is a check on plant efficiency and sanitation, and indicates extreme care m controlling bacteria in the luscious foodstuff. In hanging up this good record, the Wingham U. C.O. plant had to compete with' the best in the province and to have all churnings produced between May 1 and October 31. graded by government graders. — Wingham Advance -Times. Publishes Book Of Poetry A new book of humorous verse, called "This Is My Worst" has just been published by Michael Foran, formerly of Wingham, now living in Toronto. Friends will re- calI his book, "Night Flight," which appeared ten years ago. The new book is a collection of the best humorous verse written by Mr. Foran since "Night Flight" was published. None of his serious poems are in it, and for that rea- son he has given it the somewhat misleading title. "This Is My 'Worst." Natives of Huron County will be particularly interested in a poem dealing with the disappear- ance of the old Fordyce post office on the 10th concession of Wawan- osh. and, with a ghost story con- cerning Donnybrook, which was lo- cated two corners south of Fordyce. Mr. Foran has had more than 140 poems published in re- cent years, and friends will wel- come this selection of those in humorous vein. — Clinton News - Record. Pen Pals Meet After 27 Years Mr. and Mrs. Carman Hodgins have an interesting guest at their home in the person of Miss Sus- anne Roux. of Cape Tow,n, South Africa. Miss Roux and Mrs. Hod- gins became pen -pals 27 years ago, through an organization known as the Junior League of Avonbank. Although they had never met un- til now, they continued to corres- pond through the years. Miss Roux' family are descendants of the Huegnots of France, who were the pioneer white settlers in South Africa and after writing to her friend telling her of the recent cen- tenary celebration of the Hueg- nots of South Africa, was surpris- ed and pleased to learn that Mrs. Hodgins could trace her family history back to the Huegnots as well. Miss Roux is an extensive traveller. Some of the countries she mentioned visiting were Ger- many. Belgium and the British Isles, but she commented: "I made up my mind I would visit Canada in the winter because the nearest I had been to snow was to see it occasionally on the tops of the mountains of South Africa." Her host remarked to her Sunday morn- ing that the Canadian winter was putting on quite a show for her benefit.—Blyth Standard. Canada's southernmost Eskimo settlement is on Cape Hope Island in James Bay. • Christmas is essentially a home day. Children troop home from school wildly excited about the day of all days. Young people from college or business have been looking forward to this for weeks, Those from a distance strive to make home at all costs. If they fail, they phone, and if they can- not get through on the phone they wire. The one thoi ght which more (than any other gripped the boys and girls in the forces was home. Home at Christmas—giving and receiving gifts. enjoying a Christ- ! mas dinner, just sitting around re- ' faxed chatting about this and that playing with the children, trying I to make their mechanical toys work. It is a wonderful day, for most people spent in the home. It may be a little cottage. perhaps a larg- er house, or even a more pertem- tious building. but it is not the building that makes the home. It is the spirit of those who live in- side its walls, The parents, broth- ers, sisters who are bound together in a corhmon concern for each other. It is hard for us who live in the twentieth century to think of a time when the home did not hold the affections and the interest of the family that it does today. But the family as we know it is a Christian institution. Before the Christian era children were all but ignored. They had to be fed and clothed, of course, but that was about all. Women too were • but the slaves of men. They had a very inferior place in the fam- ily. Christianity changed all that. Jesus set a child in. the midst of a crowd and gave him the posi- tion of prominence. Women too were given new status in the so- ciety He established. The home is a Christian institution. Whatever good there is in it stemmed from the teaching of the founder of our faith. It is a good thing once in a while to remind ourselves of that, es- pecially at Christmas when all the family will be together. We quite often forget the debt we owe to our religion. Christmas is a Chris- tian festival. More people are thinking about this aspect of it than for many years. Make Christ- mas Christian is a good motto for this year and every year. A world in turmoil needs a Christmas when in quiet relaxation, innoncent joys. the intimate association of the home. happiness may be found. There will be'some who will try and stimulate a sort of false en- joyment by other than the simple associations of the family. There are always some of that kind. For them we have a bit of advice— keep sober, keep alive! A home, a Christmas can easily be wrecked if even one member gets into trou- ble with liquor. If you drink, do not drive, and if you drive, do not drink. Be sure and stay alive and make this a Christian Christ- mas!
