“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.
