The Wingham Advance, 1921-12-15, Page 10TUXIS SQUARES
Our meeting on Tuesday evening Dec.
12th., was undoubtedly the best we have
had since we organized. The pram
was good and the attendance, which was
hearty 100 per cent was in keeping with
the program.
Dr. R. C. Redmond gave a task and
si*monstration on First Aid. This is the
second of a series of addresses which Dr.
Redmond has very kindly consented to
give, and the vote of thanks which was
tendered to him by the group was a
genuine expression of their appreciation.
The Second part of the program was in
the nature of a ccmpetition between the
two squares. This competition was in two
parts; first, an entertair meat consistir g of
two numbers by each square; and second-
ly, a debate. Kenneth Carter and Austin
Reid, who represented Mr. French's
square as the entertainers did splendidly,
and although they won for their square by
the default of their opponents it was a
worthy victory.
The subject of the debate was,-"Resolv-
ed
as,-"Resolveed that reading has more educational value
than travel." Charlie Pattison and Percy
Johnston represented Mr. French's square
for the affirmative and they were opposed
by Lawrence Campbell and Fred Ieard
frcm Mr. Copeland's square. Rev. C. E.
Cragg and Mr. Victor Haines, who were
the judges, awarded the decision in favor
of the negative.
This meeting concluded witha half hour
Fpcnt in vigorous group games.
A special meeting was called on Sunday
the 18th. following the Sunday Schcol
sereiCe, to decide on a name for each
square. As a result of this meeting Mr,
Copeland's square now glories in the title
of the "Chausseur d'Alpine" Tuxis Square,
while Mr. French's square was content to
remain on level ground, and will in future
be known as the "Wingham Searchlight"
Tuxis Square,
It was also decided to cancel the mid-
week meeting for the ensuing week, as the
church would not be available on any suit-
able evening before Christmas.
Plans are being formulated for the hold -
of a public service in the church to ex-
plain the Tuxis movement. The suggest-
ed date for this service is January 8th.

P. POWELL, Clerk,
No Sight of Reduction
On and after January 1, 1922, the post-
age on the papers issued from the Advance
Office will be one and a -half cents per Ib.
At present it is three-quarters of a cent per
lb and in 1918 was one-quarter of a cent
per lb. The postage after the new year
will he six times what it was in 1918 when
The Auv:tN('t,• was 51.50 a year, and now
people wonder why we charge $2.00 per
year. And, remember that postage is only
one item we have to contend with and
onl.- a minor one at that. There is no re-
duction as yet in anything used in a news-
paper office and from prerent indications
there will not be for some time yet.
A Letter from Home
Would that married daughter who
is now living in her own home,
miles from the old folks, not like to
have the news of We old home each
week? Surely! she would. You
people at home like to read THIi
ADVAI4C1 and you know that
when you art away on a visit you
like to get a cony too. How about
sending it to the absent member of
your family tor a Christmas Pres-
ent? It costs but
Four Cents per Week

"He will teach you to play the great Christmas game "Love thy Neighbor as
thyself,' " said Peace.
Instantly they all drew back, Each one looked at his neighbor. Ther. they
all shook their heads; no one wanted to play that game. So Goodwill took Peace
gently by the hand and led her far away from the revellers in the wonderful man-
sion.
A long, long way they walked, knocking at many doors, seeking a place in
which to abide. There was always a welcome for Peace, but no one was found whoNt
wanted to entertain "Goodwill." So as they could not be separated they wandered
on together.
'EACH and Goodwill, the Christmas guests, came over the hill front the
I.and of Dreams into the city of Once -a -year at dusk on Christmas
Eve, as was their wont.
Peace was a maiden beautiful beyond words, with honey -gold hair
curling away from a calm white brow above clear eyes wherein lay
the ight of a great restfulness, and her breath was sweet with the scent of heartsease,
Goo twill was a happy -faced boy, with a light step, a merry song, and a laugh like
the peal of silver bells. The streets of Once -a -year were full of hurrying people bent
on strange errands. No one passed Peace without a wistful look into her lovely
face, and many hands were outstretched to detain her. Peace would gladly have
stopped and made friends with the passers-by, for she and Goodwill felt very strange
and lonely in this city of Once -a -year, but often the hands put forth were so full of
self interest that they could do no more than brush her elusive gossamer gown and
she did not feel their touch,
Some took time to return Goodwill's hearty greeting, but others passed hint
with a frown and would have none of him.
Peace and Goodwill stopped at a wonderful mansion, every window of which
was agleam with light, and from which stole the strains of sweet music.
"What a beautiful home," said Peace, "surely there will be a welcome for us
here."
They knocked on the door and a servant opened it. They looked into a great
salon, hung with priceless tapestries and marvelous pictures, in which a throng
of richly dressed men and women were dancing, laughing, and feasting.
*
At last they found themselves on a dark and narrow street where the houses,.
were small and old and shabby. A light shone in only one window, and the night
wind creeping through a broken pane lifted a corner of the ragged curtain so that
they could see into a room. They saw a thin, bent old woman, in a faded gown,
sitting by a rickety table counting over and over again five small coins.
They knocked on the door and the old woman opened it.
"We are Peace and Goodwill, the Christmas Guests," they said: "Shall we
abide in this house?"
The old woman bade them enter.
"My house is poor and bare•and I have but little food," she said, "but if your
will tarry in so humble a place you are•welcome. "
'Goodwill will teach you to play a Beautiful Christmas game, and you will
forget that your house is poor and bare," said Peace.
LITTLE SUNSHINE
"We are Peace and Goodwill, the Christmas Guests," they said. "Shall we
abide in this house?"
A woman, seeing them, left the throng of revellers and came forward with
white, bejewelled hands outstretched to Peace.
"Peace! Peace!" she cried, "You have come at last! I have waited such
long, weary years for you. Every time I added a jewel to my casket I expected
you; every time 1 bought a great painting I thought you would come. f bought
magnificent gowns in which to receive you; and had the most exquisite music played
to woo you. I have travelled around the world looking for you, and once I thought
I saw you coating over the threshold with Love, but it was only a shadow. But
now you have come and 1 will never let you go. See, I have a beautiful home here;
I have everything -everything ---except Peace. 1 need only you to make life com-
plete."
"I will stay gladly if you will receive Goodwill also," said Peace, gently.
"Goodwill, who is he? I know nothing about Goodwill," said the woman.
"Goodwill 10 my twin brother; we are inseparable," answered .Peace,
"There is no room for Goodwill here," said the woman.
"Could he not take the place of your servant Selfishness?" suggested Peace.
"Alas, Selfishness is no longer my servant, he is my master," whispered the
woman sadly.
"Goodwill would teach you to play a beautiful game," urged Peace.
The other revellers, hearing this, crowded around.
"A game, a game, we dearly love a gamic!" they cried. "What game will
Goodwill teach us to play?"

"Why, that will be playing the Christmas Game," cried Goodwill in delight.
"We shall abide in this house," said Peace, softly.
ABOUT CHRISTMAS.
There are lots of interesting things connected with Christmas Day --its meaning
and significance, its observance in other countries, its symbols and superstitions
and the date itself is of interest in an historical way. Many facts have been gath-�`
ered about this great world celebration. I)o you know what the word "Christmas"
really means? The word is derived from the word "Christ," and the Saxon word
"Moesse" which means mass, or feast; and so Christmas means the feast of Christ
and in honor of Ilia birth -'--in the hope of perpetuating His great spirit of love and
charity and friendship is it celebrated today. The celebration of the day as a greatio
holiday dates back to pagan times, when the Winter Solstice was observed. Scan
dinavian mythology tells us that during the Yuletide, which falls at this sante time
of the year, there was a peace among the gods and that ail strife and work ceased.
This Scandinavian idea combined with tate old pagan celebration is perhaps the
underlying thought in our observance of a holiday when work is stopped and peace ri�y r w�; w� wyf�vayj
is supposed to reign over all. �i.`,`.i /�.i/� �/�.`/�
