A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
(By Bev. J. K. Stokes, BA., S,TJL -- Trinity Anglican Church) g
"AND TIIOU SHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS."
ib
Why, Why go against all the traditions of the day and
call Him Jesus? The reason Is given in the last half of the verse:
for He shall save His people from their sins." The name
JESUS means 'God is salvation' and expresses the work of Jesus
Who cane to be our Saviour. _
God wants you to be whole. So He came into this world,
and still He comes, bringing salvation and healing, for saving the
person IS healing him. He Is the source of health, healing and
Wholeness, We understand this more clearly when we understand
that there is ,the same common root meaning for each of these
words: - 'health, - whole, • .holiness, When we are in proper
(health, we are whole in' the richest sense of body, mind, and spirit,
and this richness Is holiness or to be holy,
The Hebrews knew this profound truth. Isaiah, 800 years
before the Birth of our Lord, was inspired to prophesy, -"He is
wounded for our transgressions, and bruised for, our iniquities; the
chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with Ills stripes we
are healed."
Nor did the New Testament writers forget it as they record-
ed such words as our Lord spoke 10 'Blind Bartimaeus: "Go your
way, your faith has made you whole."
And the 'Christmas truth still is the Message that a Way
has been opened into God's presence — a Way for forgiven sinners;
that Truth has been revealed In our world in a way that all men may
'know and understand; that Light shines in. every darkness, The
Babe in the 'Manger is NOT God Who came to earth once long ago.
Ile is I1t1MANUEL — "God WITH us,"
Christmas means that the Love of 'God in Christ can shine
In our lives and reflect in our attitude toward others; that we belong
in the Kingdom of God, no longer aliens and outcasts, but children
of the King who has redeemed us and accepted us for Himself, "And
thou shalt call His name JESUS", for He does save His people from
their sins.
"A anery !Christmas" is a greeting full of meaning for all
those who have received the Christ of Christmas in to fill their
hearts and overflow their lives, A truly merry Christmas to all,
Keith Stokes.

SP10E
By Bill Smile,
CHRISTMAS IS HAIRY!
As the getting -ready -far -Christmas tempo around our house
increases from mild panic to wild hysteria, ,I can't help thinking a
Fang way back: to the times when Christmas was an experience
to be anticipated with thrilling delight, to be savoured when it ar-
rived, rather than the inane, exhausting scramble it has become in
these affluent times.
First real indication of Christmas was the buying of the
turkey. In my home town, there was an annual Turkey Fair, late
in November. Exciting for youngsters. Farmers brought their
turkeys to town, fresh•kCled and plucked, but with heads, feet and
guts still there,. Housewives wandered among the turkeys, looking
for the perfect bird, pinching, poking, sniffing.. Then it was hung
in the woodshed, by the feet.
At the right time, it was brought in, the pin -feathers
plucked with care, head and feet chopped off and guts removed.
Then the scent of home-made dressing filled the air. It was a real
turkey.
Today, we elbow and shove our way along the meat count-
er, gazing at a row of pallid, yellow -white lumps wrapped in plastic,
legs neatly tucked in. They all look the same, and they all taste
the same (wet paper), but we are secure in the knowledge that we
don't have to disembowel them, that they are "eviscerated" and that
the giblets are in a nice little bag tucked inside the frozen carcass.
I can't quite believe that they 'have ever been real turkeys that
have w 1ked and eaten and fought and mated.
Getting the tree was the next step. You went out into the
country with your !cid brother, walked half a mile into the bush and
selected a be: utiful spruce, one cutting, the other watching for the
farmer. You dragged and carried it, some
There was a great sense of satisfaction,
Today we go down to a Christmas tree lot, fumble through
a pile of half -frozen, eruniby Scotch pines, select the least 'mis-
shapen, take it home, and when It thaws, discover that the frozen
side has a gap the length of your arm in it. This is after forking
over a small ransom. There is a great sense of dissatisfaction,
Decorations in those days were simple, Inexpensive, but
just right. Strings of red paper bells, venerable but cheery. Strings
of red and green curled crepe paper all 'over the house. The tree
itself had "icicles" and some colored balls. A few wealthy people
had colored lights. On top was a home-made angel.
Today, an decorations alone, sonic people spend what would
have fed a family in those days for two months. Fancy candles;
store• -bought wreaths of ersatz holly; colored lights everywhere,
inside and out; trees that are almost hidden from the naked eye by
festoons of fribbery.
Buying gifts in those days was simple, compared to the
frenetic business it is today. There was scarcely any money then,
and everybody needed something. So it was long underwear, or a
hand-knit sweater, socks or gloves, maybe a few real luxuries, like
a 59 -cent game of snakes and ladders, or a book. Ten dollars didn't
go far, even then.
Today people almost go around the bend trying to find
something for other people who have everything, or can buy it.
Nobody makes a gift. They buy them. They haven't 'time, because
of the "Christmas rush." Clothes that don't fit. Eight -dollar toys
that last five minutes. A hundred dollars worth of ski equipment
that isn't the right kind,
Christmas Eve then was carols around the piano, mother
stuffing the turkey, kids to bed early quivering with excitement.
Stocking•stuffing time for the adults. A quiet drat, with a little
despair that there wasn't money for skates and new winter coats,
and things like that,
Today it's frantic last-minute shopping and wrapping of gifts,
entertaining people who have managed to finish their rat -race (we
gct to bed at 4 a.m, last year after receiving carollers and others,
and, ,believe it or not, we had frozen chicken pies for Christmas
dinner.)
Hope I'm not getting maudlin, but iChristmas used to be
merry. Now, it's just hairy.

QUEEN'S PARK
By
Murray Gaunt, MPP,
Huron Bruce
The second session of Ontario's
281h Legislature prorogued this
week, one year and twenty-eight
days and eight hours after it be-
gan on November 19, 1988. The
new session will begin on Febr-
u a ry 24, 1970.
Among the marc controversial
pieces of Legislation passed were
the Assessment Act, Child Wel-
fare Act, Landlord and Tenant
Act, and the Care and Provision
of -Animals for Research Act.
The amendments to the Child
Welfare Act will prevent children
who have been placed for adop-
tion from being reclaimed by
their natural parents. This leg-
islation was the result of a Sup-
reme 'Court of Canada ruling that
an eighteen month old boy be
returned to his natural mother
although be had been in an adop-
tive (lime three weeks before she
appealed.
The Minister of Social and
Family Services said the decision
by the court threatened the pro-
vince's entire system of Crown
wardship and adoption.
An Ontario Select Committee
on Company Law tabled its in-
terim report in the Legislature
and said that the development of
the Credit Union movement de-
pends on its ability to offer its
members services comparable to
those offered by other financial
institutions,
The Committee recommends an
enactment of a new Credit Union
Act to permit Credit Unions to
expand, amalgamate, open bran-
ches and to go public by offering
savings and loan services to the
general public.
The Committee proposed new
measures and requirements to
insure the financial stability of
Credit Unions and to protect their
shareholders and depositors.
Implementation of the Recom-
mendations would certainly in-
volve a radical reconstruction of
the Credit Union movement in
Ontario.
AUTOMATION HELPING
BLIND PERSONS
Blind people are lucky! Accord-
ing to B. D. Beamish, 'President
of B, D. (Bearish Automation,
Cooksville, Ontario, they're lucky
because the automation revolution
is very much in their favor, Elec-
tronic devices, until now only
dreams, are slowly taking shape.
Instruments such as the visual
prosthesis which will bypass the
eyes introduce light into the
brain, or the machine to translate
the printed page into sound are
now in the experimental stage.
Mr. Beamish further pointed
out that in this era of mechaniz-
ation, the transistor has really
come into its own. He believes
intelligent blind persons, follow-
ing tactile symbols and memoriz-
ing the patterns, could work in
the assembly of transistor cir-
cuits.
Mr, Beamish spoke at the re-
cent conference of CNIB Employ-
ment Officers 'held in Toronto,
Representatives from every part
of Canada gathered at ,CNI'B's Na.
tional Office to discuss all aspects
of employment in relation to
blind people,
Also addressing the group was
Donald Keeping, Director of the
Blind Programming Course at the
Universitty of Manitoba. Mr.
Keeping (blind (himself) reported
that at present graduates of this
course are rated extremely high.
But he said competition is becom-
ing keener in this field so that
employment officers must be more
selective in choosing candidates
for the course.
The conference was designed to
assist the, blind employment Of -
fleets in their job of contacting
industrial plants, selling blind
pereens to the company and pro•
vidi! ; «.i the job training,
Thi -igh their combined efforts,
some 2,000 blind people are em-
ployed coast to coast.

FROM THE MINISTER'S STUDY
PEACE ON EARTH?
On ,the night when Christ was born the host of angels declared to
the small group of shepherds, "Glory to God in the highest heaven!
And peace on earth to men with whom he is pleased!"
If this Is what they said, then %%here is the peace?
*111 over the world, not least In the vicinity of Bethlehem, there is
re1ic,tted evidence of the absence of peace an earth.
However, we need to be careful to observe the angelic order. If all
men were concerned with glorifying God, then there would indeed.
be peace. Moreover, the hymn of angels said "peace among men
(who are) well pleasing (to God)." Those who are well pleasing to
God are the ones who ,believe the good news that on that night long
ago in the city of David was born the Saviour, who is Christ the
Lord,
Obviouslythere is no peace on earth. Christ himself later asked
his disciples if they thought he came to brim peace on earth and to
their surprise answered, "No, 'I tell you, but rather division; for
henceforth in one house there will be five divided, three against
two .. ." Luke 12: 51, 52; Matthew 10: 34-36.
Christians are supposed to be fighters! They do I
But not any old peace, Only the kind of peace that comes as a re-
sult of war. The world is not getting better and better. More
complex maybe, and maybe men are smarter. 'But they are not more
truthful, or unselfish, or merciful, or forgiving! Christians have
accepted God's love for then in Christ and committed themselves
to IIim, By that very act, they vow their enmity to injustice,
cruelty, oppression, deceit, greed — everything that makes men less
than they can be, and the world less than what God created it to
be. This means that wherever they find evil they must combat it.
From the teachings of Christ — and from the whole Bible — Christ-
ians get a pretty clean idea of what evil is. As for fighting, combat
for Christians is net a matter of killing people, They are taught to
fight with love that wants the greatest good for another person.
Jesus himself came into our world to fight evil as a Man, far the
sake of all men. More details of Iris battle against Evil are in the
first books of the (New Testament. And so, his followers, the
Christians are fighting. Not to destroy people. But to destroy evil,
There is not any other way to bring about peace on earth!
However, those of us who have received Christ as Saviour can fes-
ify that we have indeed found peace -- peace with God. And as we
allow Christ to have dominion in our lives there is also a peace with
ourselves and a peace In the midst of the troubling circumstances
of life,
On earth there will be wars and rumors of wars until Christ re-
turns. But also an earth, men who believe in Christ can find the
angelic announcement of peace a glorious experience in the present.

THE 1BLYTH STANDARD — TUESDAY, DECEMBER 23rd, 1969
THE CALORIE COUNTING CLUB
We joined this caloric counting club
To lose some weight they say,
And when I look around my land)
Some are fading right away.
It's once a week on Wednesday night
We meet at eight thirty sharp;
They conte from every direction
To take part and learn their plight.
We paid our fee and joined the group,
And said the pledge so brave;
But when the exercises came
It threw some for a loop.
Some moan and groan as if in pain,
Some just lay down and stayed;
But In a few short weeks of work
You would really be amazed.
Some blcuses gaped some slacks were tight
When first the club began,
But when some eight odd weeks had past
There is a different sight.
They purchased scales for weighing in
And finally settled down
To real and worthwhile business
With great hopes of getting thin.
Our measurements with tape line take
And keep on record too,
And in three months will learn the score
If any losses make.
Our pictures taken when we start
Was a sorry sight to see;
But all hope that in a few short months
There will be a Netter me.
For ten pounds loss you wear a fern,
And for every five a rose;
But when a pound or two are gained,
It's to the pig pen turn.
They pay the club for pounds they gain
And to the Queen the same,
So no one wants to gain a pound
And hear her name in shame.
The Queen is picked on once a month
For having lost the most,
And wears her crown with royalty
And a silver dollar boast,
Our leaders give us good advice
And boost our low moral,
With talks from some from other clubs
Of which was very nice.
For exercises we are lead
With leaders quite efficient
With push ups and downs
And jogging to
To meet our every need,
The Health Nurse gives us worthwhile talks
And hope all will heed her warning,
To eat right foods and gain good health
And that's what we all are yearning.
Once in awhile a ,banquet comes
To, be invited to,
But not the kind we used to have
With those fattening tarts with goo.
It's Diet foods in Corning Ware
With Which to fill our plates,
But served only with a teaspoon
Unless more you would really dare,
With diet fruits and all the like
Just made for our own sake,
Then came a world wide awful scare
With thumbs down on cyclamate,
There are some in the future yearn
For diet fruits and such,
But just make up their mind again
And back to saccarine turn.
Now in the future weeks ahead,
May we all work together
To keep each others spirits up
And our weight well down,
And all grow a little slimmer,
Now to anyone who reads this rhyme
That would like to join our club
To lose some weight and play some games
And just have a social time,
Just hurry to your telephone before this day Is done
And place a call without delay to Blyth 523.4381,

Grandmother
Rebelled
There has been a lot of talk about our children not
realizing the true meaning of Christmas, so we are giving
you this story of a young grandmother who decided to do
something about it,
"I'm fed up,” she said, "with everybody clamour-
ing over what he's going to get for Christmas. It's 'gim-
me thus' and 'gimme that'. Always what can people get,
not what can they give. There must be a way to make
Christmas Christian and not pagan," So one day, unknown
to the two sets of parents, she got the little folks together
and proposed they put on a Christmas pageant. This vas
a new word to them, but when she explained it would mean
acting out a little scene built around the infant Jesus, they
were all for it. Everyone was sworn to secrecy, and so for
three weeks before Christmas grandmother and the four
older children, ranging from six clown to four, worked on
costumes and stage settings, learned simple lines, and prac-
ticed singing carols,
Christmas Eve found the families in the home of
the grandparents, True, the little folks hadn't been able
to maintain complete secrecy about the great event, but
there was still quite an element of surprise. The sun room
had been screened off with discarded portieres for a cur-
tain tci form a stage. The cast included Mary, a wise man,
a shepherd, an angel (who from her pedestal suddenly an-
nounced, "I'm not really an angel, I'ni Betsy"), and the
Infant Jesus, played by the eight months old baby, Not
having rehearsed, the latter viewed the proceedings some-
what dimly and after a minute or two showed his prefer-
ence far being a spectator by wailing lustily,
"Was the experiment a success?" we asked some
days later,
"It certainly was," grandmother replied, "Not
once after we started our plans did I hear a single child de-
mand something for Christmas for himself, They were all
in a giving snood, They were all eager to please their
parents and honor thebaby Jesus, There'll never be any
children around our house after this who think Christmas
Is Santa Claus' birthday."
"Hots did the parents take it?" we asked further.
"The parents? Oh," she said, as her eyes filled
with the memory, "they ,all - - we all - - cried."
A one -woman revolt over the commercialization of
Christmas paid off,
*
It is with genuine pleasure that we wish you and yours a
VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a PROSPEROUS NEW
YEAR

IN MEMORIAM
HUSSEY -- In loving memory of
our dear sister, Florence Mae
Hussey, who passed away two
years ago, December 25, 1967.
Our hearts still ache with sadness,
And tears still flow,
What it meant to loose her
No one will ever know.
When we are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear her whisper,
Cheer up and carry on,
Each time we look at her picture
She seems to smile and say
Don't cry I am only sleeping
We'll meet again some day.
- Sadly missed by her sisters,
Betty Bowes, Marg, Taman, Sadie
Flamm and their families.

The leader, Mrs, A. McCall, op.
ened the program stating that one
of the great words we hear at
Christmas is Emmanuel • "God
with us."When people question
many of the articles which come
to us this remains clear that the
central meaning of Christmas is
that God is with us, One of our
great theologians has asked the
question for our day `Who is
Christ for us." The answer has
come simply on the words "Christ
comes to us in our brother." To
Illustrate this we bring you today
some stories of Christmas in Can-
ada.

leader commented that for a
Czeoh family the Christmas decor -
orations in the Union Station

three centuries before. The etern-
