CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR'S GREETINGS On the eve of the world's celebra- tion of the Christmas Festival, which marks the manifestation of God's wondrous Gift to mankind, it gives me great pleasure as your pastor, to ex- tend to the members and adherents of our church, and all by whom this greeting is read, my sincerest and best wishes for a Cheerful Christmas which, I trust, may be followed by a new year of happiness and prosperity. The coming year of 1940 oflPers you larger things than was ever offered in the past. It will offer you an op- portunity to make your church mean more to the community than ever before. To do this we need your pre- sence, your sympathy and your co- operation. The new year will offer you an opportunity to be more gener- ous in your gifts to God â€" ^I do not particularly mean material gifts, al- though these are essential and neces- sary, but the gifts of Life and Heart and Will. Yours sincerely, â€" G. L. MERCER. NOTES At all services on Christmas Sun- day, the minister will be the preacher. The subject of the morning sermon will be "Bethlehem's Legacy to the World." At the afternoon and even- ing services the theme will be "Has Christ a place in the world today?" The choirs will lead the singing of Christmas hymns and carols and a hearty invitation is extended to the public to share these Christmas ser- vices of worship. SUNDAY SCHOOLS The Church Schools will hold their session on Christmas Simday at the usual time. A good attendance of our boys and girls is especially requested. A GOOD EDITOR A good editor is one who has never made a mistake; who can ride two horses at the same time he is strad- dling a fence with both ears to the ground; who always says the right things at the right time; who always picks the right horse as well as the right politician to win; who never has to apologize, who has no enemies, and who has words of prestige with all classes, creeds, and races. That is all an editor has to do to be rated a good editor. There has never been a good editor. â€" North Hastings Re- 41% Hog Concentrate Concentrate, and make yourself a handsome profit.

THE FARMER AND THE WAR "The last war will verify the con- tention that no part of our population gives more freely of its sons to man the many parts of the active service at the front in times of war than does the fanning population. Most farm homes in Canada still call to mind the service given by one or more of its sons or daughters during the last Great World War. The ranks of the different services are already manned by a considerable percentage of rural enlistments for this war. In impha- sizing the service which the farmer can give through production, I am mindful of the fact that he in com- mon with other Canadians is maning the front line trenches." â€" ^Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Dominion Minister of Agriculture to the United Grain Growers at Winnipeg. < ' H i n * * ****«<i«< M| <i*.>. | i nn «i K i* * »« t * «tn 1 1 1 I II i im i The trouble with stopping the German sea raiders is that the ocean is a large place.
