PACJ: EIGHT T H E H E R M IS T O N H E R A L D . H E R M IS T O N . O R E G O N . “Peace on E arth, And Good W ill among men, in whom God is well pleased.” Thus sang the angel host to the shepherds on that holy night long ago. Let us note that in order to have good will among men and peace on earth, men must live so as to be well pleasing to God. In order to be well pleasing to God men must first of all recognize the Sonship, the authority and the Kingship of Him whom God sent to live among us. If men would truly accept this Christ as Lord and live as He taught men to live, then the world would have peace, not war, and men would spread good will and not hate. We would have more of love and service and cooperation, and less of greed and the effort to exploit one’s fellows and the spirit of competition. This to me is the heart of the Christmas message.

Mrs. Vera Doyle Miss Ruth Walker, our guest speaker, gave a very interesting talk and from this and her many leaflets she had we gained many ideas. Mrs. Roy Hale won the prize for her Christmas table centerpiece. A table mirror, chenille poinsettas, red and green candle holders with red candles were the accessories used. There were many entries, some being for mal, others tor the children. One was very clever as we all discovered before the afternoon was over. Mrs. J. Hamman made a Santa Claus out of fruits and vegetables. The head was an onion with cotton as his whiskers and trimming for his hat. A raisin for the nose. A red apple for his body and a green belt of cele ry. His pack sack was a potato. The setting for Santa was an outdoor snow scene with an evergreen border and tree. Tucked in the corner was a snow covered garden bench. ❖ ♦ ❖ 21* i? * PICKLES - Sweet jar M. J. B.
