O Facts ad Fantasy You Can Say It With Flowers There is nothing in all of life that speaks the universal language more _ clearly 'than flowers. Flowers can run the camut of emotions. They say "I love you. I'm sorry. Congratulations! Welgqme home, or aurevoir." TTR Ch ....... Whether we grow. them, give, or-receive them, it'sa-- 1 Soul-satisfying experience. And the memory will "linger, long after the beauty and fragrance have disappeared. They can speak freely for a tongue-tied youth, or for a bashful child. As with a heartful of love the lowly -dandelion finds its way from the meadow to the kitchen- windowsill, or even to the living-room table when company comes to tea. Yet, with so many varieties to choose from, if asked _ to name a favorite the answer is most often, '"The rose." Or, perhaps some more exotic plant. But for me there's others that hold a deeper meaning. Memory takes me back to a hospital when I, a. young teenager received my first flowers. And never have I opened a green box and - turned back folds of green tissue without recalling that first thrill. It was a bunch of golden daffodils and the card read simply, "The McMillans." This was a large family and each bloom seemed to represent the face of a member as together they were saying, "Get well, we miss you." } : : Like other things there's been changes here too. And often the flowers arrive professionally arranged, but their message is always clear. Sitting before me now are the last offerings of my garden for this year -- shaggy asters in all their colors from white to deepest rose and purple. And the aster never fails to recall a little story from my very early childhood. ; Our mother had been seriously ill but was now recovering. The whispering and the tiptoeing had lessened and tensions eased. I wanted to do or give something that would say "I love you and I'm glad you're going to stay." But love, was never discussed in our home, just felt. Perhaps it was thought to be "sissy" -- my world was mostly male. However, I was worrying about this when I took my place in class that morning, then, when I'd cleared my mind and turned around, there they were. : "A huge bouquet of perfect aster blooms graced the teachers desk. This could be the answer to all my prayers, if they were mine. But they weren't. And I knew that only one girl in that small school could have brought them. As only one girl came from.a home where such beauty was commonplace. ; My eyes surely dwelt more on those flowers that day than on my long neglected books. But the teacher --refrained from scolding. When the class was to be dismissed she asked me to stay, and then I was certain - that all my sins of commission and omission would be placed before me. But it was to be a beautiful surprise. After kindly asking for our mother she turned to her desk and, removing the flowers from their container brought them to me saying, 'Maybe your mother would like to have these." My, words wouldn't come. I'm sure too, that my feet never touched the ground going home that day, for the joy in my heart gave me wings. : i i Christmas Choral Service i | 'has become a tradition ~The annual Christmas Choral Service of the United Church, Port Perry has. become a tradition. Not only our interested church members, but friends from other congregations and outside communities, look - forward to this Service each Christmas season. We are grateful to the pioneers in this form of presenting Christmas music, the Organists, Choir Directors and the faithful dedicated --Choir- Members who from this' appropriate musical' _ form of Christmas worship. Mr. Glenn Taylor, the present United Church Organist and Choir Director has given us this year another inspirational per- formance. With a Senior Choir of 35 voices and 43 Youth Choir Members, there was an opportunity for variety and wide choice in music. The clear voices of the Youth Choir rang out' so year to year have-kept up: beautifully as they san a cappella. They looked so nice, the girls in bright blue ponchos and the boys in gay colored sweaters a recent gift from the United Church Women. ; The Senior Choir chose Handel, Mendelssohn and Bach, from the classics as well as some modern works which 'provided a pleasing contrast. 3 Special mention should be made of Eleanor Bailey, Sharon Linton, Jim Burnett -- and Gordon Reesor, soloists and Quartette members. - The decorating convenors, Dorothy Bourgeois and 'Donna Rahm deserve much credit for adding to. the beauty. of the scene with such tasteful decorations. Our sincere thanks goes to Mr. Taylor and his -en- - thusiastic choir for.giving us . a musically, fulfilling and spiritually uplifting festival of song.
