Fred Taylor, used as his theme "Our Treatment of Jesus" taken from Judges 13:8 " and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born". He pointed out that what counts is what "we" can do for Jesus, and not what "Jesus" can do for us, because He is always loving and sympathetic.

Or paper streamers linked so precariously that frequent breaks need to be surreptitiously re- paired, with mother's apolo- gies for careless handling, so that eager little workers don't become discouraged when their frail contributions fall apart. If you live within reach of the country, there are hedge- row treasures which provide ma- terial for decorations. The dri- ed stems and seed heads of wild flowers have lovely shapes and may be dusted with gold or sil- ver powder. I remember, as a child, dyeing teasels from the fields with green, red, and blue inks. But if you have no contributions from your young people and no opportunity to make your own decorations, there is no lack of choice in the shops. We have a special interest in studying the colorful, glittering displays, for we reckon we can always pick out from the rest those designed and manufactur- ed by our good friend in Paris. Some special quality of imagin- ation must give that extra touch to his fir -cone Father Christ- mases, which makes them dif- ferent from any others. He told me once that the cones are gathered for him in the forests of Germany.

When I was a child we were encouraged to make our own contributions to Christmas fun and gift giving. Mothers and fathers were expected to be amazingly unobservant of the mysterious doings in the nursery. Heavy breathing over painting a calendar for Granny, hastily pushed under a book when she came into the room, some- times became tearful, for the hiding may have smudged the work of art. Then a tactfulcol- laborator would suggest turning the smudge into a cloud or a tree, and all was well. There is something very spe- cial about a gift which has been made individually, however small it is. Perhaps it may be a little Christmas pudding just for two, or a box of home- made candies, or some small stitched or knitted gift. There Ls the same pleasure in contri- butions our friends make to our Christmas parties, offering their musical talents, or introducing a new game, or arranging a WINGHAM NATIVE Mrs. R.
