No. ASA A Christuas Message Christmas is upon ua, Do what we will, we cannot keep it from affecting us. A day's holiday —a Christmas dinner—a few bright colored lights—an unaccountable radiance—a Christmas Carol—a Savior born, In one way or another the season gets below the calouses left by the rest of the year. Hven a Serooge cant resist it. And again this pecul- Weare cheeriness—a jar season is upon us, going about wishing wishes that we never think of wishing at other times. So bas Christ- mas grown uponus. Deny its basis we may—resist its ra- diane we cannot. So we come to our sixth war- time Christmas, the brighteat of them all. The lights that had gone out all over the world are coming on again, The dawn of what we want to regard as a new day has broken through the darkness in some lands already. That makes our Christmas a That is the pe- culiar thing about this season. little warmer. It is not so much that we are happy, but that others are hap- py too. OF course a plaintive note enters when we think of our own kith and kin who are not in @ position to enjoy the luxuries of our Christmus-tide If wishes would provide for it, theics would be better than ours —another characteristic of this season, Many things will be planned to brighten our Christmas Day. We muy spend the whole season in our own exclusive company, if we wish. There will be abun- dant opportunity for all to meet together in one or other of the churches in town to worship ‘The King. Many of you will a- vail yourselves of the opportun- ity. Others will have no desire SYLVAN LAKE, ALBERTA, WED, NANG SANE NANA SANNA to worship. Others will recoil at the thought of it as. silly. Hach then to his own devices, But the churches will weleome jyouall, of every turn of mind to share with them joy of the season. If you cannot share in f, we are willing to share our music and eomerad- our belie erie with you 1 want to take this opportun- ity of extending seasonal felici- tations to you all. A Merry Christmas to those who call it |Christmas; a happy holiday to |to those te whom it is no more than thal; ands cheerful time to those to whom it is just nother day. It is my hope and prayer that the radiance of the season will enter into your | thoughts and in its own peculiar way give youa new hope and cheer to carry with you through the rest of this year and into the new year. To those who praise God that a Christ has been given; a Savior born; I ex- teud my Christmas Greeting in the hope that the Fellowship that we know in the Commun- ion of the Faith will grow greater and wider and more vital in every coming day and finally establish that Peace and Goodwill toward men for which weallunite to pray. Without this hope that is made real in Christmas, our world is desolate indeed A very merry Christmas to you all. Rev. Ian P. MacSween PROVINCE HAS GOOD FALL, THIS DISTRICT HAS BEST IN YEARS On the whole, the province of Alberta has experienced a very fine sutumn.

Keith Family Leave for the Coast Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Keith and family left today en route to the B.C. coast, where they will spend the next few months. Coming to Sylvan Lake in the summer of 1934, Ward Keith took over the hard ware business formerly operated by Jamieson Bros, Inthe ten years he was here, hesinad®™many friends, He was very active in commun- ity life. For some years he was a member of the village council and school board, and was ac- tive in Chamber of Commerce work and the newly formed Service Club. He isa fine type of eitizen and his going away is regretted. He recently sold his business and lovely home to M. J. Greenaway, who now op- erates the business. Mr. Keith has no definite plans for the immediate future, and will spend a few months at the coast, During the last two weeks many private farewell parties were arranged and on Thursday of last week a dance was held in honor of the Keiths, in the Alexander pavilion, Here his friends from the country joined those in the village to give the family » fitting send off, Dur- the evening they were present- ed with a pair of silver candle- sticka and a desk pen, While on their holidays and wherever they may finally set- tle, the good wishes of this community go with them. storms. There ix no syow in the south as this is written on Dec- ember 14th, and very little cold weather has been experienced in this part of the province More northernly areas have re- ceived some snow and the wea- ther has been somewhat colder on occasions. The Peace River has experienced a fine autumn sean. Moisture conditions are not very good in southern Alberta, particularly in the dry south- eastern area, there being no great sub-soil reserves of mois- ture, Central Alberta, extend- ing north beyond Edmonton, is in much better shupe in that re- spect. EMBER 20, 1044 (A NANA NENA NE NA NN i \A Christmas | Message The return of the Christmas Festival brings joy to the hearts of both young and old alike, in spite of the fact that this is the fifth Christinas Festival that our boys and girls have been a- way from home It is a time when we castaside all our worldly cares and sor- rows and in place thereof, we try to concentrate our thoughts on the wonderful events that took place that first Christmas night over 1900 yearsago, We do well to go back in spir- it to Bethlehem and there to ponder over the mystery of the that night, and try to realize the significance of this impor ant event in the history of man- kind. For‘ a Savior, who is Christ the | Lord.” The Savior of mankind was his day is born to you not born in the palace of a king as we would naturally think, but rather, he bad chosen the lowly stable of Bethlehem in of all virtues that of humility. Christ in later years expressed this thought when He said *Un- less ye become as little children ye shall not enter into the king- dom of Heaven.” Again, dear friends, wa would do well to imitate the shepherds who were minding their flocks Incarnation which took place) order to teach us the greatest} PWELVE PAGES ® SUAS SAS and on hearing the voices of the angelic choirs of heaven |singing, “Glory to God in the Highest, Peace on Barth to Men of Good Will,” they left their flocks and made baste to the city of Bethlehem and having found the Child they knelt down in humble adoration and offered their gifts of love and confidence, Too often, nowadays, the Christmas Festival has lost much of its religious signifi- cance due to the fact that this great Church Festival has be- come so commercialized. People no longer think of Christ the new born babe but instead they wonder what presents they are going to receive and from | whom. Itis not to be wondered at that we have so much strife in the world, and until the time somes when we shall wake up and realize the true significance of Christ coming we cannot hope to have peace. In conclusion let us once more bow down our heads and ask of the Infant Child that Peace for which we all desire and which He alone can give. This is my Christmas wish for you all, : Reverend 8. G.
