FOR The following message was written for The Huron -Expositor by Dr. J.S'empie, of the Seaforth and District Ministerial Assoeia: tion on behalf of the Association: "There was.no--room for them in the inn" • (Luke 2:7) "Where is the guest -chamber? (Luke 22:11) • An inn and a guest -chamber stand at the opposite. poles of hospitality. - - 'The inn represents professional hospitality offered to those who can pay for it The guest -chamber re-. presents hospitality of the heart, where we are received for what we are, and not for what we profess. There would':be no "inn" at -Bethlehem. Each house would have a guest -chamber. • The story is quite simple. When Joseph and Mary arrived at Bethlehem the guest -chamber was already full. -Discovering that, they withdrew, and Jesus was born where the cattle were stalled. St. Luke throws in the sentence without passion. He is merely explaining the circumstances and not condemning any one. • But that first reception of Christ was highly signifi- cant. It was a specimen of the treatment to which He was continually subjected, and which is still offered to r His cause. i. It Was Largely True Of His Earthly Life There was no. room for Him in the guest -chamber. A certain hospitality was afforded Him, buk'not the deep hospitality of the heart. He was popular so long as He fed' the hungry and healed the sick. But' when He pressed the spiritual claims the audience pelted. (St. 'John VIS. Pharisaism and Scribism had no room for Him in their guest -chambers. : ' No hospitality 'fo1°°"His teaching and claims. At the end they had no room for Him in the world. /./.—It Is True Of Him Still - - Modern society- has its. mangers and its guest - chambers, its contempt and 'its honours. Its Kniest -chambers are open .to wealth—smartness =fame, the entertainer, the explorer, the litterateur. Even the . Church has its guest -chambers, for the great --the princes of the Church. The' individual hag his guest -chamber --the furn- ished place for his -loves, schemes, ambitions: But it is rarely offered to Christ. He is not .entirely repudiated. He is often applauded. Socialist and Communist claim ' Him. Men are ,willing to admit His usefulness to the submerged and degraded. • • Literature pays Him aesthetic complfinents, but does He receive man's warm hospitality? He is tolerated so..•long as He does not interfere with trade, pleasure and private ventures. �,As a meek patron of , the Church, He is an interesting figure, but He must keep His place. The tragedy of Christendom is that it has sought protection under >±tis naive, but never opened to Him its I guest -chamber. We have had our chance. We must make room, plenty of :rooiiii for love, goodwill and peace. L.—Christ and Christinas come reminding us to make .room nit our .lives and in our civilization for humid- ) ity. The teach use` to stand before the facts of life and' ' never to become conceited about our own wisdom. It . _. Christ and Christmas come telling us to make room for the obscure, the unknown, the insignificant, the lowly, the commdiplace, The people of that first century were so busy, so preoccupied-'li tening •`to the, noisy things of the vorld; that the OlenV.Night ,came and:: went unnoticed.

Mr. and Mrs. Nott were married at McLennan, Algoma, at the home of the bride's parents. The min- ister was Rev. W. F. Warren, while the groomsman was a broth- er of Mr. Nott, Mr. Victor Nott, now of Sault Ste. Marie. The bridesmaid was the preSent Mrs. May Gibson, who is now also a resident of Sault Ste. Marie.

Bernice, Mrs. Gordon Richardson, and Winnifred, Mrs. Ward Knox, Hullett. There are 17 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Following a short honeymoon trip to Sault Ste. Marie, they re- turned to the McLennan District, where they farmed successfully for ten years.
