CHRISTMAS
A Sense of Worth
What are you worth? That question nearly always brings
an answer in terms of dollars and cent. We balance our
assets against our debt. What's left over (if anything) is
our worth.
It is unfortunate we think In uch terms.
We are horribly discontinuing our real value. Our worth
is to be found In those things on which a price can not be
placed. Our sense of beauty, our Instinct of right and wrong,
our ability to reason and respond to life around us. our abil
ity to love and to be loved, these things which make us man,
what price do we place on them?
If we continue in the dollars and cents vein, then to be
sure life has merely a dollar value and this season becomes
an opportunity to increase ray assets. Therefore, it will be a
Merry Xmas only if 1 have a good time with the bulk of the
packages under the tree. It cannot be otherwise because I
am looking at life purely on a money scheme. In the pro
cess life, people, (even I) become things to be bought and
sold for the enjoyment of the moment. I become value-less,
bankrupt.
Life is more than this!
The value of life is to be measured In terms of relation
ships to others. This means that our worth can only be teen
in relationship to the ultimate authority. This ultimate au
thority is the creator and sustainer of the universe. God. So
then, what is our worth? We are worth His life! Not silver,
nor gold, but God's life. We are of ultimate value, priceless.
That's what this season is all about.
God entered upon the stage of history in human clothfrs
In order that we might receive the gift of life! If the maneer
is thrown aside, God's entrance ignored, this season will be
an exercise in futility. We will strive for a Merry Xmas that
will be as fleeting as steam on a dry summer day. The tree,
the gifts, the friends may cheer us, but to lasting measure,
for our measure will be of things gained, rather than a life
given.
Man's worth, man's life is not the total of things alone,
but a living relationship to God in Christ Jesus! Thus, re
place the living God in the center of the season's activities
and you will have a satisfying fruitful life along with a Mer
ry Christmas. The gifts around the tree will warm the heart
as they remind us of God's love for us in the gift of life
throuRh His son.
That's what the display In the window down town is try
ing to say. Set the scene right Put the living Lord in your
heart. You will not have a Merry Xmas, but a Merry Christ
mas. The festivities of the season and the years ahead will
be blessed with the benediction of the living God, because
your values are right!

members of the Cashmere Ministerial association. Its mean

fers a great deal to think about)

A CONVENIENT WORD
Occasionally, a word comes
into our vocabulary that Is giv
en unusual emplogment "ecol
ogy" is such a word. It is the
rol'atinn nf thinps to People. If
an individual stagnates, is frus
trated, or has an inferior com
plex, blame it on his ecology.
If a writer or speaker is hazy
on the subiects of social or eco
nomic import he can always
bunch them under a generality,
'Wnintrv"' If mountains annoy
you, floods terrify and riots dis
turb you. your "ecology is to
blame. If you are a social mis
fit it s not vnur fault It is
your "ecology". We used to call
It environment
Believe it or not Mr. and Mrs.
Albert Wright have a Hereford
mw that had twin calves, one
of them Charolais and the oth
er an Angus. Mother and twins
are doing very well.
Thev started calving the first
of December and have about 75
hahv ralves already. Their two-
year olds will start calving late
in December.

Sister Mary Salvator from Fari

To one and all:
Here I thought I would spend
an ordinary Christmas but
friends! Aren't they wonderful?
Here on a Friday eve came
Anabel Allison and Mary White
laden with cold, frankincense t
myrrh. Well not really, but
they did have a beautiful hand
made candle arrangement and
some keen pink slippers for
cold nights. We had a nice
evening and a good time was
had by all.
Then the next day came a
package addressed to Josephine
Mahoney and I got it o k. It is
from those lovely nieces, the
Bell Sisters (Laurel Harriet,
Eileen, Beth and Nancy). Isn't
that sweet? Naturally I'm dy
ing to know what's inside but
they would kill me no doubt if
I should look in ahead of sched
ule. So I wait.
Me? I haven't got off a card.
I keep thinking Til do it tomor
row but I have to exercise and
take two walks a day; cook
(I'm living high on the hog
these days) and not much else
but the day Is done.

To the Editors,
Heppner Gazette-Times:
Mv the surmises and joys of
the Holiday Season. Fancy' Ea
ting a card and note irom
Claudien and Dick Wlghtman
which says in part "Hope this
isn't too much or a snoot iot
you but we have kept tab of
vou through the Gazette-Times.
Dick and I have returned from
he Ulands where we have liv
ed in Honolulu for 5 years. Dick
to the Gazette. Sounded just like
the old E.O. column. We have
6 grandchildren and our young
est, Janet, was married Aug. 1.
Marvin is an architect and is a
partner in a very good compa
ny in San Francisco and trav
els all over for his company.
Jim and wife and daughter
live in Greeley, Colo., and Peg
gy lives in Concord and has 4
beautiful children. The years
have really flown by. Do want
you to know that all these years
we have always thought and
talked of you. The Wightmans
are living in Annapolis, Calif.
The Wightmans, the Alfalfa
Lawn Dairy' in the good old
days. I remember when I was
a young thing Lula Campbell
and I rode on the milk cans
while John delivered milk from
the horse drawn wagon and
measured it all in a tin cup and
no one got germs or nuttin'.
And the milk can tops were
mashed down until Uncle Bob
would have to take a stick of
stove wood to pry them out and
jaw John for putting them in
so tightly. John never told on
us. The Wightman ranch was
like a second home to me.
And when the kids came
home from college and how we
all danced and for years Dick
and I danced out the old yearj
and in the new. ITm. j
