A. W. WATSON, 13.A., B.D.) As Christmas coanes again preparations are abroad to hear the story of the coming of our Saviour, As Christina Rossetti so aptly put it; Love came down at Christmas, Love all lovely, love divine; Love was born at Christmas, Star and angels gave the sign. If one might put it in modern theatrical terms it is a time of stage dres- sing. We are setting the stage for what Christmas means to us. There are two types of stages set up. The first Ls the connnercinl stage, To some this is the be all and end all of Christmas, It is a time when all is prepared for exchanging gifts, visiting and feasting, In cities and towns the i•rops have been brought out to prepare this stage. Stores are decorated and gift centers appear with all the beauty and ingenuity of decorations. Gifts el.borate and commonplace adorn the shelves. Signs ap- pear announcing Christmas specials. People are flooding the stores so extra help must be hired; turkey and plum pudding have the spotlight; Christmas trees suddenly spring to light in homes and shops; Christmas cards flood the post offices carrying greetings far and wide; Ssnta Claus is enthroned amid the eye appealing displays. It is a large well lit stage with expensive props to help, Yet it is a stage of utter coniuslon. The other stage is the true Christmas stage which realizes its religious 'significance, It is a stage of sober thought, penitence and self-sacrifice. It is tole 'which has as Its center the birth of a Saviour which is Christ the Lerd. It is a stage which has many players — the poor and the lowly; the learned and the rich; the young and the old. Everyone has a tart to play. It knows no barriers of race, creed or colour, but is as large as the world and its need. It is a stage of slued song — the carols ring out their message of hope. Here redemption is the scene for we remember that God so loved that He gave IIis Son, Peace and quietness are the keynotes sounded by the play. CTS. Well, which stage is yours? Are you so wrs, " ed up in material prepara- tions that there is no room in the inn of your life for the spiritual. significance of Christmas? h is so ease to forget that the first Christmas was a deeply religious ev- ent with an unseemly stage where Christianity wets born. As fou stand on the threshold of Christmas, 1957, and hear the conflicting cries of race and clan, God grant that you shall keep Christ In Christmas. And join in the everlasting song of'peace on earth, goodwill to men." vglaigtgangteemeigtstcteleteiClCISIKICItitatOttatetaidetallestsalelgenVISStellattillgtallICStalaS Blyth Municipal Council A meeting of Blyth Council was held in Memorial Hall Monday evening at 8 p,m. with• Reeve Morritt; Councl1ors Cook.

Jn carrying out this program, which reflects the fundamental place occupied by electricity in relation to the progress of the province and the welfare of its citizens, Ontario Hydro will have the close co-operation of the various local utilities in supporting this advertising campaign, The first of these advertisements car- ries a timely message for Christmac shoppers in that it Illustrates a few of the many fine gifts, in the form of elec. trical appliances and equipment, which will bring lasting service and pleasure to the recipients, both adults and child- ren. These suggested gifts include hewer tools, trains, frying pans, coffee - makers, blankets, mixers, heat, lamps, toasters, television sets and many others. Hydro's educational program assumes an important significance at this time when far-reaching developments herald many and still greater benefits and conveniences that will enable the citi- zens of Ontario to "live better electric- ally,'!
