Presbyterian (hurcb Candle-Iight Service On Sunday evening, Dec- ember 16, the congregation assembied in the candle-lît Presbyterian Church for even- ing worship. The pulpit was draped with red velvet. An open Bible, flanked by lighted candles, was centred on the Commun- ion Table. In each window flickering candies spread a meilow glow throughout the church which added bo an atmosphere of solemnity and tranquillity. Mr. Rick Glass, the minister weicomed ail and extended a special welcomie 10 the Junior Choir, the Gospelites from Wick Presbyterian Church and their lepader Mrs. Appell. Bible passages were read by Sidney Visser and Lori John- stone, which unfolded the Christmas Story, after which, Mr. Stanley McNeillie lead the congregation in prayer. A number of Christmas carols were sung duiring the service. With Mrs. Appeli accom- panying on the. guitar the young people favored with three selections and the quar- tette sang one number. In their clear young voices the choir gave an enthusiastic rendition of each number and delighted all with their excel- lent ministry of song. The little Misses Scott sang a lovely duel "Away in a Manger" with their mother, Mrs. Scott accompanying on the >organ. Many in the congregation were greeted by a hand-shake and "Merry Christmas" by the Gospelites as they sang their last number. In bis address Mr. Glass told an intriguing story of Archie the Angel. l seems Archie was an angeî wnen tberp w-.q only God, rpuch, much --e and many, many'angeîs. kfter millions of years creation took place, Archie marvelled aI il all and kept asking "What is going on here". Man was created, wars started. Archie stili asked "What's going on here". A Saviour or King was 10 save mankind. Archie asked "What is going on here". He only saw the stable but, as hie studied the scene, he saw Joseph and Mary and the child in swaddlîng clothes. The story continues and Arch- ie continues to invr "What is going on here? ' Following the Benediction the ladies of the church served lunch 'and ail enjoyed the fellowship hour. Letters to the Ed itor Dec.. 17,1973. Dear Sir, On Monday, a mhimeogra- phed letter was sent, home with Vincent Massey Public Scbool chldren, asking that they be kept home Tuesday' mne 18tfl. in support ot tne teachers' strike. To me, Ibis. bas a touch of illegality. Is there not a law which states that ebjîdren under 16 years of age must attend regular school hours unless there is a public holiday, an order from the School Board, or a reasonable excuse?' If I am correct, Ibis im- p romptu vacation resulted f rom the actions of the teachers, rather than the proper source. At any rate, I consider il deplorable on their part 10 put the students in the middle of their dispute. I think the letter was regarded as a free holiday rather than a show of approval, and I know for certain that much of the "ýeveryone else is staying home" stigma is attached to il. To take advantage of the chiidren's natural diglike for school and turn it imb a pro-strike demonstration seems very low indeed. In1efre fetoth cntnt teachers 10 honor a one year contract. They list this as a "basic human right", but it is fact that many people, archi- tects to (at the risk of' sounding ironic) movie stars must livewithin the confines of such. In the case of school teachers, I feel there is a nieed for it. We are aware of the adjustment a child must make who changes schools mid- year. What would happen if a classroom suffered a suceces- sion of teachers in one year, each starting anew, bringing ber own form of discipline and demanding ber own idea of "1right". 1 doubt. if anyone would benefît. What happened to the ded- icated. altruistic teachers who WEDDING MVANN- TAYLOR The marriage of Beverly Pauline Taylor of Whitby to abounded in the literature of the past generation? Teaching was then stili a respected profession. 1 ar n ot suggest- ing the teachers revert to the poverty line wages their predecessors enjoyed, but merely that they realize the drawbacks, the tests to be marked, the supervision of extracuricular activities, the contract, before they take on the job.
