THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1931 PACE HRER Bowmanville Daily Times BOWMANVILLE EDITOR--REGINALD BRETT Office Telephone No. 744; Residence Telephone No. 730 MESSAGE GIVEN OF CHRISTMAS AT TRINITY CHURCH Rev. E. F. Armstrong Preached on "The Call of the Star" The star, since time immem- prial, the symbol of impending vents; as an angelic messenger ent to announce the birth of Christ, and as a means of guid- nce--al. these shome forth in gal'ant array, as Rev. E, F. Arm- trong, minister, preaching on "The Call of the Star," delivered an inspiring address at Trinity U'afted Church, Sunday evening. With the church plunged in darkness, dramatic was the ap- pearance of an. illuminated cross, shining from the centre of the crgan. He drew his text trom Matthew 2:10: "When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great joy"; "We have seen his star in the east and have come to wor- ehip him"; and "The star went in front of them untfl it stopped over the place where the child The birth of Christ was an- rounced to the Jews by an an- gelic message; to the Gentiles by a guiding star; the Jews believed that a conjunction of stars oc- curred before the birth of Moses, and similar conjunction would oc- cur before the birth of the Mes- slah, The Persian astrologers probably heard this from the Jews and searched the heavens for the expected sign, said the minister. They believed that stars exercised an influence on life and events. But the star was not only im- portant as a guide to.the birth- place of Christ; it was a messen- ger sent of God to the students of nature and seekers of truth. The purpose of every event in the Bible is to reveal God to men. However inspiring an event is the aiscovery by astronomers of heav- enly stars; much more inspiring is the revelation of starry truths. The starry truth of Fatherhood of God, illuminated man's spirit- ual vision; the starry truth of Brotherhood of man illuminated man's narrow vision of duty; the starry truth of the Immortality of tha Soul, illuminated man's vi- sion of eternity. "Our peril is that we get lost in the starry things; allow our narrow sphere of duty to exclude the vision which would inspire act'on; the man with life seeking only sensuous pleasures, will miss the vision. "The Call of the Star is a call to worship; 'We have come Bto worship him'. Likewise the call of Christmas is a call to worship in fellowship with God. 1t is a call to joy: 'They were in- tensely glad.' When a man finds what his heart longs for, he is glad, When the woman found the lost coin, she rejoiced. When the shepherd found the lost sheep he was glad . . . "What is our greatest discov- ery?" asked the minister. "The Saviour of Bethlehem; and Christmas joy is our greatest privilege. Christmas is our call to joy; the joy of giving, in mak- ing others happy. "The call of hope; 'The star went in front of them until it stopped over the place where the child lay,' It was a guiding eign A star never misdirects or discourages anyone; it never wearies of its task of shining and smiling. It shines brightest on the darkest night. The Star of Bethlehem was hope for the worid's darkest night." Christmas was a call of hope this age; this period of recrea- tion, of selfish pleasure and gross materialism; such period follows 2 great war. Close of the Am- erican Civil War saw Washington Feeling in the whirlwind of de- jection. Lincoln was the gulding srar in the .dark days of civil strife, he concluded. CHRISTIANITY NOT FOR SUNDAY ONLY Rev. C. R. Spencer Spoke 'on Godliness at Sunday i Moming Service Christianity is a twenty-four hour 'affair; not something that is . at the Church door and put on again the next Sun- day; you don't have to go round proclaiming Christianity; it is our life, every day for all to behold, sald Rev. C. R. Spencer, 1ector, g on Godliness as. in brotherhood, at St. John's (Anglican) Chureh, Br the text, John 10:10: "The thief cometh mot, but for to steal, and tp kill, and 'to destroy; I am come that they may have life, and that they might have it more abundantly'; with particular reference to the concluding sentence. The story 1s taken from the Parable of the (00d Shepherd. Just as no one could go in or out of the sheep fold, without the shepherd's consent, so none could enter the Kingdom without he passed the Heavenly Shepherd. He was come, not to destroy, but to give life, and to give it more aburdantly, said the minister. Religion was not a passive thing. I¢ demanded of no man that he must sit on the sidelines and cheer the other fellow, It was God's wish that we might have lite; and live abundantly, "1t we are going to be Christians, we must express, by His divine com- mand, the very best that is with- in us. What is it that holds us back? Fear; sometimes a false idea. a false contention, maybe." God expected us to be kind and lovable; not to think of our- sclves, but to help others. Christ did not say: "Don't do this, or don't do that." To ve at one with God, man must search for truth, he must be in harmony with every heart-string; in tune with the Infinite. It meant looking at Jdfe through His eyes. If they could not remove hatred from their hearts, they were nothing with God. To follow in the Master's way, they must have whole-hearted be- lef in God; live by love, and nave Christ's outlook on life. Christianity was a personal re- iationship between His children and the Father; personification of the love of God between man and mar. Their treatment of others was judged as thelr treatment of Him. In conclusion, the minister quoted Dean Inge, of St. Paul's athedral, London: "When thou roest thy brother, thou seest thy God" Copies of the Christmas Pastoral, 1931, from the Angli- can Bishop, of Toronto, pointing aut that joy and happiness were the twin spirits of the Christmas- tide, were distributed among the Pews. The Pastoral concluded with the words: "Brethren I pray for us all a blessed, joyful Christmas and a New Year full of good things from the opened hand of God: 'Who gives us richly all things to enjoy'." Sunday, January 3, 1932, St. John's Anglican Church, ' Bow- manville, will celebrate its cen- tenary, when special services will he rendered at morning and ev- ening worship. It being the fourth Sunday in Advent, com- munion was celebrated at morn- ing service, on Sunday. Heard Along Front Street many This being Christmas week, we gladly wish to one and all: A Merry Chtristmas and a Happy New Year. At Christmas play and make good cheer, For Christmas comes but once a year" Is the sage advice of one, Thomas Tupper, who died in 1580. How many know that the cus- tom of sending Christmas cards date back to only 1843, when they were used as a substitute, in England, for ornamented rolls of paper used to convey greetings at Yuletide? Or, that many of the customs, associated with this glad season mistletoe, for instance, have been handed down from Druidical cere- monies? Or, that the first Christmas card, printed in England, depict- ed a picture of six little girls on a golden background, had a sale of one thousand copise, and real- ized £50 at auction? Which reminds us that Alfred (lone fly in this office) resents our saying he fell into the ink well, last week. "It's the first inkling I've had of it," he re- torts, But, why continue? A sum of $60 will be donated to the Relief Fund and Welfare Committee as a result of the ¢plendid concert, given by the Public School pupils, under the di of Miss Helen Morris, A.T C.M., and her assistants, here Thariday and Friday. Good wor! | Fact that the 1931 Town Coun- cll was able to show a surplus in all but one department--the/Po- 'ice department going over its es- timate, and that only by $36.29-- should give the citizens food for thought as they go to the polls, Monday, January 4, 1932. Proof that the municipal elec- tions are not far away, was seen the other day, when ye editor was button-holed on the wireet for daring to publish the name of a Hikely candidate for the Mayor's chair, "Who told you to publish my name. If I don't run, they'll think I'm atraid; and if I do--," was the trend of 'this man's As this individual stands a likely chance of becom ing mayor for 1932, why worry?

Hay, com- mercial manager and announcer of Amos 'n' Andy, over WMAQ, Chicago Daily News ' Station, made the extraordinary pro- nouncement to a Canadian audi- ence that "the average mentality of the radio listener-in is twelve years of age." "We have found," he sald, ad- dressing the' closing session of an Advertising Affiliation cofven- tion last summer, "that the aver- age mentality of the radio listen- er-in is twelve years of age." Then he added briskly: "This au- dience, of course, excepted." As near consternation reigned at the press table (where the writer was) the speaker droned on a pace, recounting the inti- mate story of Amos 'n' Apdy, while 400 advertising men, repre- renting the collective genius of Cavada and the United States, hung on his words. Then the speaker invited ques- tions from the audience. After several, a voice from the press table asked: "Mr. Hay, do you think that the average mentality of the radio listener-in will ever rise above twelve years of age?' "Yes, I think so," replied Mr. Hay, adding that it was not his opinfon, but that of a psycho- analyst, who had made a close study of the subject, "I would not wish to be quoted as making such a statement." Later, the speaker, realizing he had "sald a mouthful," cautioned the press to he careful how they reported the incident. SAVATION ARMY OFFIGER MOVED Captain Leonard Bursey Has Been Called to Headquarters Called to divisional headquarters, Toronto, Capt. Leonard Bursey, who has been in charge of Salva- tion Army Citadel, Bowmanville, for the past fourteen months, will hold his farewell service next Sunday, December 27, when appropri.': ceremonies will be held. His suc- cessor will not be known until Thursday of this present week. Taking as his text, "God so loved the world . . .", Gardiner L. Wag- ar, teacher, of mathematics, Bow- manville High School, gave a brier address on this timely theme, Sun- day evening. The present, said the speaker, was a season of giving: a time to be happy and to make others happy. Christmas bells were symbolic, not only of chimes, but of gladness. He was not sure the reason the English were so musical was be- cause of close association with chimes, Then, turning to the sub- ject of his text, he showed how scriptural texts might be applied to student life; they were all students and Christ, the great teacher, « He himself, subscribed to only two articles of creed; to keep cheerful, and to keep the Golden Rule. With J. A. Tait at the piano, a number of vocal numbers were rendered effectively. Tuesday night the annual Salvation Army Christ- mas Tree and concert will be held at the Citadel. SHOW A DEFICIT In the report of Town Council, Wednesday morning, it was inad- vertently stated that cemetery de- partment showed a deficit of $148.- 30. This, of course, should have been a balance of $148.30; the ac- tual figures being: estiamted amount, $1500.00; expenditure, $1351.70; balance, $148.30. Actually, the police department was the only department which ex- ceeded its estimate, and then only by $36.29; the cemetery committee leading all other committees with a surplus of $148.30. Coincidence was seen in the printing committee which broke even, inestimates and expenditures, $671.76, STUDENTS START HOLIDAYS TUESDAY Tuesday afternoon will see a gen- eral exodus from both Public and High Schools, Bowmanville, as the pupils commence their much-antici- pated Christmas holidays, shortened this year to ten actual shoo! days, instead of the customary two weeks. And what a rush has been made on the penny bank, fo be sure! While this, 'of course, is exception- al, it is reported that as much as $400 was drawn by one pupil, and $100 by another. Public School pu- pils are eagerly looking forward to the results of the examination, available for publication toward the end of this week.

MACHINE DEMONSTRATED A demonstration of & power-ice planing machine, manufactured by the Westman Machine Company of Oshawa, was made at the Oshawa Arena this forenoon. The machine being tested was one built for the University of Toronto, for use on the open air rink at the Varsity Stadium. . A number of citizens watched with great interest the splendid manner in which the ma- e smoothed off the ice surface.
