Stenger of Ennisiillen and the Mission Band leaders, Mrs. E. Trewin and Mrs. A. Boyd. For seven ýears Mm.

Over the nativity scene, comprising dozens cf figures varying trom rafia ereations te plaster, and incredibly transpar- ent wood carvings, hoveredaa lange gold angel of cleverly shap- ed and embossed gold paper, carigtiny red candies in out- strtcedhands. A amall gold angel in quaintly sulptured foul rested on the roof &ot the creche, whiie dangling (or flying) underneath its mifters was a tiny china angel, fat and cher- ubie. Several teatherweight stars daintily patterned tram straw, had flown trom Europe in Christ- mas card envelopes, in order te add te the wonders ofthte Holy Night scene. Tha nativity sceite, laid eut in a' forest ef ýedar twigs, was a blend of many Christmas traditions and folklore. One could reinemben European legends cf animais com- ing to worship the Christ-chiid as one gazed on the tiny iambs, rabbits, deer and even frogs and birds, peeping delightfully trom the ccLr torest. A pair of ex- qmisite wooden angels, fingering amazingly intricate musical In- struments, obvieusiy were kin te the shy wooden <feer and tny fawa near themn. They had aIl been brought from tamous Ober- ammergau, te site ot the modern Passion Plays in Genmany. .Other cerubs, close to the manger, held a tiny evengreen tree, and an Advent ring cf candles. The group nemembered a similar, but much largen Advent ring, suspended from the Sten- ger's kitchen ceiling lest year. Eaeh succeeding Sunday in the Advent season saw another Ad& vent candie lit, until aIl four glowed at Christmas, their gold- en giow showing that they wene real beeswaic candles.

The Christ-child, realistic in china or pottery, iay ini a lovely rough- hewn manger, and behind the kneellng carved wood Mary and Joseph, a ceramic goat iooked in- quisitivély at the Babe. About the room were many in- triguing symbols and figures, many of which will be piaced on the Christmas tree, along withý real candies, on Christmas Eve. The Advent calendar delighted many, as Mrs. Stenger showed the day-by-day progress of December, from St. Nicholas' Day on the 6th through the weeks of suddenly- appearirig angels with lanterns and stars, to the appearance in the now--crowded forent (which is the calendar background) of the little Christ-child on Christ- mas. Amidst ail these wonders, the Mission Band chiidren sat for a time, listening te a story pro- gram of "cradies and kings", comparing their modern barns to the stable at Bethlehem, and the manger - bed of Jesus to the magnificent goid - and » jeweIied cradie cf the infant son et Nap.- oleon, who has faded t rom bis- tory. Another story took themn on a trip through "'Worid Friends" countnies around the worid, on a star which showed them Christ- mas in many lands, and the effect of Christ's coming on the chiidren liging there. The arrivai of refreshments meant good food to the eager chul- dren, but to the adults it aiso meant a giimpse of the Christmas foods of Germany. Many deiicious varieties of "honey-cakes" miade from ancient recipes by Mrs. Stenger, represented several Eur- opean communities, and their own particular customs and habits, which the hostess reiated to en- qurers as she passed round the epigplates. Mrs. E. Trewin and Mrs. R. Ashton provided sandwiches and fruit drinks. The afternoon ended with cheery greetings and thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Stenger on the part of children, leaders, and inothers, for this valuable opportunity of seeing different customs enrich- ing Canadian culture, and feeling the strong influence of J)ast cen- turies of foik-lore and worship in our modem lives.
