people hate It but few of us reach down underneath to find what else is there The following day Sunday I attended a sermon at St James Anglican Church In at which the celebrated Globe staff writer Richard presented his depiction of the seven deadly sins He was witty and fun cryptic and sad all wrapped Into one brief sermon He was eloquent and humorous but very general and broad in some of the things he said Now as Richard is considered to be one of the most Imaginative writers of our time who can question why many In his audience commended his every word few of us would dare to question the judgment of someone whose weekly salary must absorb at least seven digits in our monetary system Hope a sin But among other things he talked about hope and said it was a sin because too much hope makes one envious and that envy is wrong and hope too often cannot be fulfilled so that reality then would be better From where I sit hope is to dream and to dream is human Too often the final are not as rewarding as the working to their end One only has to visit some of our elderly citizen sanctuaries throughout the country to know what life is without hope Hope is life and without It we be dead

felt that any highly populated AA city with too much money could I not possibly expect to be anything else but wicked He forgets or perhaps does not realize that many of the people in Toronto do not have too much money that In that big and vastly populated conglomeration of citizens there are hearts and souls whose only ambition is to love and to give of themselves Greed will always exist and envy is a way of life which can only be erased by understanding The Holy Rosary Church in Guelph was packed last Wed The authority previously had no real policy regarding the snow vehicles said Kao operations director They were permitted in some areas but they had to follow conservation area regulations which say all vehicles must stay on the roads The machines were really more tolerated than anything else Mr But we must face the facts of life that there are more and more of these vehicles around that they are a valid form of recreation and that we have the land where they could be used Season permits The recommended policy suggests season permits should be Issued for snowmobiles and only vehicles with these Rosy cheeked carolers carry our glad message of Yule greetings to everyone ROOT HARDWARE OUT Share goodness If we in generalizing condemn everyone as being consumed by such vices that then would be the greatest sin of all No one Is all good but neither Is everyone all bad and whatever goodnesses wc do possess must be shared to wipe out whatever badnesses exist Behind the hustle and bustle of Toronto shopping lies a tremendous need for communication Many of those lunching alone wished that they had someone with whom to converse Accepting the street corner Evangelical Bible Society literature were those who already knew that Christmas means that Christ is here

to the thank you s and the Merry Christmas make ft Its aUChristmasandlt sail fun Like everything else we make it what It Is whether Us Christmas or life itself Christ came into the world to give us hope as a way of life I say to Mr Needham that his sermon stimulated me to the point of refuting that the world has too great a degree of evil and suggest that he needs to climb from his tower of intellectual abilities to find the hearts of the people He in denying the need of hope is denouncing the need of Christ and what Christmas is all about Christmas is appreciation of about us its the
