I wish I could go, on Christmas eve
To the hills of Bethlehem;
I wish I could hear, as the shepherds did
Of peace and good will to men.
I wish 1 could see the angel throng
In the midnight sky above;
I wish 1 could rest in the healing rays
Of the wondrous Star of love.
I wish I could kneel in worship there
Where the cattle and sheep are fed,
And lovingly smooth the fragrant hay
Of that lowly manger bed.
I wish I could do some service small
And there in that stable dim
By a gentle word or a loving deed
Perhaps win a smile from Him!
But, down the mists of the centuries
I hear his voice -- "Inasmuch as ye
Have done it unto one of the least of
these
Ye have done it unto Me" --
And so at this blessed Christmastide
May I serve the children of men
And in doing so, I will also serve
The Christ Child of Bethlehem!
(from a poem by Mrs. Roy L, Peifer)
(Clirfztrnai Aho5a,gE
By Rev. W. 0, Mather, B.A., BID., Minister United Church of Canada
Blyth, Ontario
A preacher stopped to look at a Christmas creche, which
was fascinating a little girl as she studied it, Here was a miniature
of the Bethlehem stable, There were angels and shepherds and
wise men and sheep and goats and even a few chickens, On the
hay in the manger was the Holy 'Chid and the mother kneeling
beside 'him. Above the .thatched roof there was a light to rep-
resent the star. The enthusiasm of the little girl was infectious!
The preacher asked her something about the scene. That
was all that was necessary, she was off! "Those are (wise men you
know, they came from the East, that is one of their camels there
by the door, those other men are shepherds, that is the baby Jesus,
—isn't he cute!
The preacher, not wishing to appear entirely ignorant about
the whole thing added—"and there is a star, do you suppose the
light from that star shines into the stable? "Oh yes of course it
does," Then realizing that the man did not look at the scene from
the same level as she, the little girl added --"If you are going to
see how the light comes in you will 'have to kneel down and look up."
Without realizing it, that little girl had caught hold of a
basic truth about Christmas—if you would see how the light comes
in you must kneel down and look up.
',Christmas is no time to be profound and analytical, Christ-
mas will evade us unless we have the ability to be humble and to
wonder. There is mystery here and we had better admit it If we
expect Christmas to have any meaning for us. The acquisition of a
Ph,D, twill not mean that Christmas will necessarily be more mean-
ingful to you, The whole event of Christmas is surrounded with
simplicity and commonplace delight. There is just no logical ex-
planation of why one born to 'be king should be born In a manger!
How utterly wrong ve often are in our understanding of what is
important, We are 'prosaic and scientific and lack the good sense
to kneel down and look up to see the source of the light of Christmas.
The genuine joys of life do not come by way of scientific
examination and dissecton, so much as by taking time to recognize
the wonder of the commonplace, There are such facts as the bonds
of faintly love, the laughter of children, the genuine concern of a
friend, the trust of a child, Yes and there . is the fact that the.
lowly mangermay serve as the cradle for the Saviour!
We shall miss the truth of Christmas unless we bow rever-
ently in the presence of mystery and let the truth of the gospel
shine into our lives.

AT ROME FOR CHRISTMAS
As some brilliant clod once pointed out, Christmas comes
but once a year, And it's a jolly good thing it does,
Think of what we'd be like if we didn't have the glory of
Christmas to pull us out of the bleak, little lives of selfishness,
misery and loneliness,
Especially in those bracing northern climes is Christmas a HURON COUNTY JUNIOR
necessity, It is cold, the nights are long, and the festival provides rAIt11tERS MEETING
a splash of color, warmth and love that enables us to face the
deeded long winter ahead,
Oh, I'll admit it is a bit of a drag, in some ways, The gentle
day of joy has become the focus for a multitude of irrelevances.
REAPERS AND CEN'T'ENNIAL 0
UNITS MEETING
The Reapers and Centennial C
Units of Blyth U,C,W, held their
Christmas meeting on Tuesday,
December 5, in the church par-
lour, Carols were sung and a
Christmas worship service -led by
Airs, F, Howson, Mrs, H. Voddcn
and Airs, R. Madill, Mrs, Ray Grif-
fith told the story "The Day Be-
fore Christmas." Mrs; Harold
Campbell sang "0 Little Town Of
Bethlehem" accompanied by Mrs.
D, Philp,
The groups divided for their
business periods when plans were
made for the Lions' Christmas
Party on the Nth of December
and the U,C.W. Christmas meet-
ing on the 111th, at 2 p.m.
A delicious lunch was served
by members of both Units. The

uary 9th, with the Gleaners in
charge of the program and wor-
ship service and the Centennial C
the lunch.
The Huron County Junior Far -
Board Rooms at Clinton on No-
vember 29. The public speaker
competition was held at the regu-
lar meeting wilt Bob Fothering-
There's the dam' tree to be put up, theridicules cards to be ham acting as chairman,
sent to neighbours you saw yesterday, the horrors of gift shopping, llt
and the stupid bird to be stuffed, trussed, cooked and eaten, of
In addition to these trappings, which make perfect ladies m
swear and strong men weep, there is the incredible commercializion to
of the event, in every possible aspect. But don't blame that on i►
others, You .don't have to take part unless you want .to. f
Admitting all this, there is a magic in 'Christmas, in the D
very word, that still holds up. There's' a vast, 'satisfaction, for
example, when you finally get the tree to stand up with no more to
than a 45 -degree list, and it's all decorated,` and you realize that, is
despite what your wife said, it's the best tree in town.
When you sit down to write those cards, you discover that u
you still have a great affection for old friends you haven't seen for b
so long, and ysau wax quite lyrical, and ask them to visit you. Some- o
times, 'alas, they do. n
And you must admit you feel as though you'd climbed
Everest when you get that last package wrapped and sitback admit- ta
ing your good taste in gifts, paper and ribbons. f
Then there's the turk. For a number of years, this has f
been my baby, at our house. And when I've made the dressing, a
trussed the brute, and stuck it in the oven, I feel something akin
to the pure pride and joy of a woman who 'has produced a real baby.
There's the fun Of spoiling your kids rotten and putting
yourself in 'hock for six months, Christmas wouldn't :be the same
if it didn't make you a little reckless.
But perhaps the best things about Christmas are the simplest
ones. There's the wonderful moment of peace and quiet on Christ-
mas Eve, when everything is done, and the stockings are hung and
the fire murmurs and the tree glows, and you talk warmly and
lazily of Christmas Past and Christmas Present.
Then there's the church service, with its ancient, simple
story, so familiar, so real because you've known it all your life.
And the gastric juices churning in your stomach. And the post-
church salutations of "Merry Christmas," really meaning it.
And the opening of the presents, after church. There's
love in them, You realize this daughter of yours tried to get some-
thing really special for her Dad. And this son of yours spent his
last five bucks on a gift. Even though he'll beat you for ten before
the day' is over. And nothing fits your wife, as usual.
And, of course, dinner, But the time you enjoy this is
when you are 14, and have .an elastic stomach, not when you are
44, and have a dyspeptic one.
There were three speakers from
e County Juniors, Donna Reyn-
ds, Alice Allan and Jamison Ili-
ers met in the Agricultural
ey. Alice Allen won with the
pie about young people mistak-
tg education for jobs with no
uture, The judge was Mr, Dale
rcy, teacher from the Clinton
istrict High School.
Murray Hoover took charge af-
r the public speaking then Jam -
on Ribey read the minutes of the
ast meeting and took the roll
all, Don Pullen gave the treas-
rer's report. Donald Young ah-
ounced that the Huronco Review

FROM THE MINISTER'S STUDY
Many a modern Christian Ls cndebted to J, B. Phillips and
his "New Testament in Modern English" for a abetter understanding
of Bible truth,
In the first verse of the first chapter of the Gospel Accord-
ing to St. John as we read In the King James version, many of us
have been a bit confused by what is meant by reference to the "Word"
that was with God, In the translation to which I have made,refcrence
Phillips speaks about the "personal expression" of God. Probably
this is the way we should think of Christmas, as the personal ex-
pression of God,
This whole matter of self expression is frequently a prob-
lem to many of us, It` is not merely a matter of being able to
express yourself, there is also the matter of the person being able
to understand you, 'Self expression is ineffective unless it conveys
your meaning to the other person, There Is the problem of trying
to express yourself to a person who does not understand the language
you speak, Your enunciation may be perfect but if the person to
whom you are talking does not understand your language he gets
nothing from what you say. You talk to a new comer in the country
who does not know your language, You may shout, you may lose
your temper, you may give up in dispair but it is all to no avail.
Through the centuries .God tried to express 'himself to
people, IIe used people like Moses, Elijah, Antos and Isaiah, Theso
people spoke eloquently about God but by and large people did not
understand, They still clung to their preconceived, inadequate ideas
of God.
Finally in order to speak to people in a language about
which there could be no misunderstanding, God came to this world
in 'the person of the Child of Bethlehem, This Child grow to man-
hood among people, but he also said "he that hath seen me hath
seen the Father," Christmas is the self expression of God in an
idiom which no human should have any difficulty understanding.
After the dishes, which are a real pain in the posterior,
because all you want to do is sleep, some carol singing restores the
spirit. And the old carols sound like new.
This year, we're having a quiet family Christmas, after
many years of having a large, fairly noisy one. Ilugh said he was
coming home for Christmas, even if he was in Australia.
It may be a mess, because we fight a lot In our family.
But not at Christmas time. May you all have the Christmas I hope
we'll have,
