Grandfather asked the blessing and ,then the plates–were heaped with goose, vegetables, stuffing And lovely brown gravy over all. My what a dinner. Then it was topped off with pudding, mince pie and Christmas cake. You could hardly move when you left the table. Throughout Wall there was a constant flow of conyersation in which small fry had no part but to listen. Parlor games and a few tunes on the fiddle offered a little variety to this big family day. 'Christmas Sunday meant that we all went to the little country church 'as usual. There was nothing un- usual about the service save that they sang the Christ- mas carols and perhaps the choir had a Christmas an- them that they had practised for a month before. I don't remember any Christmas sermons nor do I remember anything about the preacher. Not much change here. I wonder if we would want to go back fifty years and hold an old fashioned Christmas No, I don't think so:We crab about commercialism at Christmas biit dis- tance has dimmed and glamorized old ways. I like Christ- mas as it is. We put more music and joy into Christ- mas today. There is plenty of light, there is beautiful music, there is therush, and preparation for Christ- mas today that leaves you almost breathless but when you think that we have so much for which we can be truly thankful. If people spend their money unwisely; if they indulge themselves selfishly; ,jf they miss the atmosphere of joy and gladness; the, gan't lift up their hearts •and voices in praise of God's good land, God's good gift of his Son, and God's great privelege of spreading abroad the stoiy of love, of human kind- np,4s, of brotherhood, then we halve missed the real mean- ing of 'Christmas.

It's -just the perfume she's wearing." 114 _essages , Ontarib if3 past and gone, Ilt' is a membry, We live in a world today that is more deeply conscious of its obliga, tion to a needy world than ever befere. True the Ohurcli may not dominate our thinking as it once did but let us remember that "God sent his Son into the world", that means our world. We are the shepherds and the wise men of Our day and it is to that Incarnation of God in a Babe, that we turn in adoration and before whom we bow, humely acknowledging our need for a Saviour. It is.we who have found the Christ Child, who go .forth, 'glorifying and praising God', we go into a pagan world to proclaim "Goa is ,with us" and all the glamor, and the tinsel, and the ribaldry that has gather- ed around the festivity of Christmas will never alter the wonder and the joy that Christmas always brings to a weary and disenchanted world. Let us join in singing a little more fervently this Christmas Sunday, — '!Joy to the world the Lord is eome, Let earth receive her King. Let every heart prepare Him room and heaven and nature sing." This is the Christmas that is so mean- ingful to each and every one who bears the name of Christ.
