A decorated tree, three
poinsettias, a beautiful
candle and flower arrange-
ment and an evergreen
wreath adorned with Cones
and poinsettia petals added
an atmosphere of Christmas,
to the White Gift. Service
which was observed in Knox I
United Church on Sunday.
George Procter, Sunday
School Superintendent gave
the call to worship.
The junior choir composed
of Sunday School members
led in the singing of
Christmas. hymns.
The scripture related the
story of "The VVisemen". As
Rev. Roberts read, he.
questioned the choir ,
members concerning the
value or use of gold,
frankincense (an oil for
anointing a king or queen)
and myrrh (an embalming
substance).
Mr. George Procter gave a ,
brief report on Sinta of Bali, ,
Indonesia, who is the
adopted child supported by
our monetary contributions
on White Gift Sunday., The
sum of two hundred ark
twenty-eight dollars is •
required to assist in
sustaining Sinta, his family
and community projects,
which will ensure healthier
lives, home improvements,
pure water conditions and
better vocational education
for the community near
Sinta's home. The speaker
stated that balanced diet
programs need attention.
There is a protein deficiency
as rice is one of the chief
foods. Our donations to this
cause were collected in two-
white baskets by Robert
Gordon and Andrew Walsh.
Rev. Roberts spoke to the
juniors concerning the rea,
sons for giving gifts. The
main ones were: To buy a
favour, acknowledge
someone of something as
Jesus, symbolically as the
gold, frankincense and
myrrh or to share in a
celebration or joyous
occasion.
He then questioned "Why
White Gifts"? The
conclusion reached was "We
share from our abundance
because we care about
others." Everything in the
world depends on Sharing
and Caring by spreading the
"Good News" of the gospel
to . all.
