Great Improvements to Building Since Jack Millers Timze times of job shortages, one cannot guarantee that every- one who becomes educated will get a good job. You can however almost guarantee that any young person who doesn't get an education will not get a good job. And when the job market expands in the future who's going to get the uod for those new jobs? - the grade 9 or the 10 dropout or the grad? Something which is bard for young people to realize is that life bas many routines. It's flot all excitement. There is not too much exciting about eating, sleeping and driving to work. This is true about everyone's life. In view of this fact it stands to reason that it is not desirable to have a boring job on top of aIl this if one can avoid it. Yet every year many young people in this country sentence them- selves to a lire of dullness by dropping out of school early. A goodly number of girls are amongst this drop out group and it seems such a shame. For the first time in the bistory of women, the doors of opportunity have been opened somewhat and they slam them shut on themselves by leaving scbool early. If one were to ask me the question, "do girls need an education?", my answer is quick and clear. Yes, tbey need an education and they need it like neyer before.

The Statesman photographer caught them in a quiet moment, waiting for more hungry customers, from left to right, Lloyd Down, Mar- jorie Couch, Dick Elston and John Pogue. the doors to excitîug careers for women are more open than ever before. Let's not, of course, kid ourselves that al bias and prejudice against women is gone and that the career opportunities are wide open, That would be a naive assumption, but uonetbeless opportunities are better tban ever and the fact that more womeu are holding important jobs lu a wider and wider range of careers is proof of that. In view of this fact that excitiug, interesting and well paid careers are potentially available to women, a girl of higb school age should set a career goal for berself whicb is lu keeping witb the age we live ln. If she wauts to follow a traditional career, okay, but she should do it because she wants to and flot because she tbougbt tbat was all that was available for ber. The second idea a higb schooi girl sbould be aware of is the need for a decent education. Those exciting careers are open to all young women but without a good education tbey might as well flot exist. One does not uecessarily ueed a uaiversity degree to enter an exciting career but it is the, young women wbo become reason- ably well educated who will get the iuteresting jobs at al levels. The good jobs go to the grads and that's true wbether one is maie or female. In tbese Imi n isterial By Rev. R.C. Hopkins Tbe proceediags after the birtb of the child Jesus were no differeut than for ail other Jewish boys. His parents followed the requirernents of the law in respect of circum- cision and bis preseutation at the Temple. When lie was for- ty days old Joseph and Mary brought hlm to the temple, and made the ritual offerings according to the law, showing their thauksgiviug to God for the birth of this boy and redeeming him as had been the custom ever since their people's deliverauce from Egypt. They offered simple gifts from poor folk, but given with tbankfuluess that God bad so blessed them in this fir- st-bora. We stili preserve something of this ceremouy lu our Christian form of infant baptism lu most of our chur- ches of today. Thougb a common form of ritual for all Jewish parents, this, particular occasion was made doubly sigaificant by the baby's recognition through Simeon and Auna. These two very old people were iudeed tsaints who had been living for tsome time with an INWARD HOPE. They lived for the time when they. would see the coming, long-expected Messiah, believing that lu some way they would know hlm whea tbey saw hlm. Simeoa at least baunted the temple daily lookiug for a revelation, aud it was bis faith that lbe would see the Lord's Christ wbich had kept hlm alive far beyoad bis allotted time. On this day Simeon in- deed recoguized the babe Jesus as hie was brougbt to the temple. Luke records that hie received Jesus into bis arms and blessed God - "for'mine eyes bave seen tby salvation. " This was followed by Simeon's propbecy regarding the future, who was "set for the falliug and risîng up of many ln Israel." Auna also added bier voice to Simeou's, ad-' dressing wboever would listen to bier as they passed by. The parents took notice of these things, while possibly others thought of these two old people as cranks who la their old-age were waudering in their miuds. Simeon and Anna had found their great hope fulfilled la Jesus. Mary and Joseph must have taken note and rememn- bered these words la the years far ahead, thought at the time they would not understand just what Jesus would be led to do and to be. The inward hope of the aged ones was boru of a close touch with God as they poudered upon His ways. Even tbe priest at the ceremouy faîled to recoguize anything unusual in this cbild, for bis life was so full of daily duties that may have become monotonous and habituai, tbus excluding the insights of the Spirit of God whom lie served. The Christmas celebration that has just been observed bas certainly affected each of us in some way or another. Some may be satiated by the feastiug and gift-giving; others may have pondered the eterual significance of the bir- th of the Saviour. Some have perhaps lost their inward hope because of the stifliug pressures of daily living. Look at the childreu of today and fiud your hope lu them.

One historian writing of that period before the birth of Christ states: "So utter was the nations need of Him that it was feit His advent could no longer be delayed."' Only sixty years before' Pompey had conquered Jesusalemn. In- surrection and persecution followed, blood flowed. Then Herod ruled as a puppet of Rome. His was a reign of terror; though he rebuilt the temple he was hated by the people. Yet here were these two living out their lives with a great inward hope in their hearts - and they lived to see that hope fulfilled. Let us carry forward from Christmas that same inward hope. In the darkest days God will justify the coming of His son, whom He sent. Someone bas written: "Be not afraid in the inward hope. It lives in beauty and the hand of God slowly awakens it year by year ... it is an Immortal and its name is Joy."
