The Wingham Advance-Times, 1965-12-23, Page 4Page 4-Y Wingham Advance, -Times, Thursday, Den. 23, 196 features from The World of Women Home and The Housewife Secrets from the Blue Barn Kitchen By Kay Grose Listowel Christmas is no longer just around the corner it's almost here. Our Christtnas will be a little different this year with me hospitalized here in St. Jo- seph's, Guelph. It will be our first separation on this special occasion. However, some time during the day Whitney and Debbie will be down and we are very well blessed to be here together as a family. The Blue Barn will be open for business as usual, since we had received so many reserva- tions we couldn't turn them away. Our restaurant was once a stable where cattle lowed. Our Lord was born in so humble a place and we hope all who en - alb /if e..At this Christmastide, we gratefully wish for all our dear friends the season's many blessings. BLUE BARN LISTOWEL The GROSES and STAFF ter and feast with us will feel and rake the true meaning of Christmas away with them. May you all have health, happiness and last but not least, love, for without it we are nothing. Thank you for your many cards, letters and thoughts and a very Merry Christmas from all of us to all of you.

No Obligation to Abstain from Meat On December 14 The Bishop of the Diocese of London, Gerald Emmett Carter, has dispensed everyone in the Diocese from the obligation to abstain from meat this coming Friday, December 24. The rea- son given is that this day is Christmas Eve. There had been some confusion on the subject due to reports in the press. The Bishop at the same time dis- pensed everyone in the Diocese from the obligation to fast on Christmas Eve. There will be celebrated on Christmas Eve the traditional mid -night mass in Sacred Heart Church, Wingham. The change- over from the all -Latin to the new English rite has been ac- complished, and this will be the first mid -night mass at which each person will have the new missals with the English mass and music. The second mass of Christmas Day will be at 9,00 a.m. An outdoor Christmas crib has been erected by the men of the Holy Name Society again this year. The crib itself is made of rails from an old fence. The figures are life-size. rat , +': •t '+. • 4. fir, McDOUGALL'S GROCERY WJNGHAM ONTARIO MR. AND MRS. GRANT MALCOLM MILLER have taken up residence in Sudbury. They were married in Wroxeter United Church December 4. The bride is the former Elaine Marie Miller. One Moment, Please BY REV. J. G. MOONEY, Wingham, Ontario. At this time of the year there are so many reminders of a great spiritual truth. They tell us that Christmas is very close at hand. It is true that many of these reminders are set before us by businessmen who want our patronage. Some of these come from men who do not believe in the truth that we celebrate at Christmas. Even so, let us be thankful that for some weeks before Christmas we do have these re- minders that the feast of Christ- mas is close at hand. As devout Christians we can make use of this free publicity to remind ourselves of all that Christmas should mean to us as the birth- day of our Saviour. We could get more out of Christmas if we would let every bit of advertis- ing, every Christmas tree, every coloured light, every store window, every mention of Christmas on the radio (even though it may have some con- nection with a sales pitch), suggest to us how much we need Christ in our souls and in our lives. It is not enough to be re- minded by Christmas advertis- ing that we need Christ in our lives. We must take the next step and say; "Now I must do something. I must unite myself to Christ through the means He set up for this purpose in His Church." Perhaps a man has been liv- ing at odds with Christ, in the state of sin. For such a person, each reminder of Christmas should become a rebuke. The sound of a carol should prod him to think thoughts like these; "I will return to Christ, I will repent and He will take me back into His friendship." Perhaps another man has al- lowed his life to become un- balanced by undue attention to food and clothes and making money and seeking after mater- ial satisfactions. His life has become encrusted with imper- fections. The Christmas ad- vertising can bring a spiritual awakening. "I have drifted away from Christ. Now I will seek a closer union with him. I will return to my religious duties with more attention and devotion. I will read and learn more about Christ and His re- lationship to me. 1 will seek His will in all my daily activi- ties." The advertising of the Christ; Inas season may be overdone, and commercialized and even oversentimental. It need not be any of these things to the per- son who turns it all into a re- minder to say often; "I need Christ in my life. 1 will find Him in His Church and I will unite myself to Him." This is the meaning of Christmas and it is Christian living for every day of the year. Children Are Entertained There was an excellent at- tendance at the Christmas par- ty sponsored by the branch for the children of Legion and Aux- iliary members held at the Le- gion Home Sunday afternoon. John Strong was master of ceremonies. Herb Fuller led a sing -song with Marilyn Higgins at the. piano, Crawford Doug- las showed cartoons, which met with the usual enthusiasm. The Bell Ringers of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church put on an excellent performance and Bill Fuller played the piano accord- ion. Marilyn and Carol Higgins played piano solos. Santa arrived to distribute candy to the youngsters. The ladies served coffee and dough- nuts to the parents and choco- late milk and doughnuts to the children.
