12 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, January 3, 1979 Intended for last week) A service of lessons and carols was the order at St. Paul's Anglican on Sunday when Layreader, Philip Winslow officiated and he said it was a time of praise, thankfulness, fellowship and joy. The choir, in a most pleasing manner rendered a number of carols, such as People Look East, Song of the Crib, Up, Good Christian Folks and Listen, Eastern Monarchs, Rocking Hymn and The Infant King. Chris Wood rend Isaiah 9:2-7 on Christ's birth and His kingdom foretold. Marion Wood read St. Luke 1:26-38 of The Angel Gabriel visits Mary, Philip Winslow - St. Matt 1:18-21, St. Luke 2:1-7, Loraine Smith - St. Luke 2:8-30 - The Shepherds go to the manger, Helen Fry - Matt 2: 1-lion The Wise Men are led by the star to Jerusalem, Belle Smith - ýSt. Luke 2:22-33 on Jesus is taken to the temple and Simeon. Euchre wînners at the Cavan card party were: high lady - Geneva Newell, high man - Charlie Wilson, low lady - Isabelle Wilson, low man - Frank White. Prize for birthday nearest Christmas Day was Cora Sbarpe. The Cavan and Monaghan Senior Citizens were treated to a delicious beef dinner by the j Millbrook Chamber of Commerce. A most enjoyable program was presented with plenty of humour in their talented way. St. John's Church, Ida, held a, successful pot luck dinner on Friday evening andon Sunday evening they had a Christmas Carol service. Christmas Carol Service The United Churcb was beautifuiiy decorated with a tree, two red poinsettias and one white iighted candie. Carrying lighted candies the choir from St. Paul's, Anglican and the United Churcb sang astbey ascendet to their places in the choir loft, as Terry Staples accompanied tbem at the organ. Mr. Graham weicomed the choir and congregation and expressed regrets that Rev. Wainwright had other com- mitments and could ;not attend. Mr. Graham spoke on The Wise Men. 0f ail the various incidents in the accounts of Jesus Christ's birth this strange matter of the coming of the Wise Men is most incidentai. We see them coming on this strange quest and bringing gifts and yet it also bas a human interest. Why do we cail them Wise Men? I wonder if we face it practîcally and consider tbis happened many years ago, stili we caîl them Wise Men, but why? First they were diligent when they saw the star and foiiowed it. They set off for the Temple in Jerusalem, where Herod bad bis palace and there they sought the King. Sureiy they'd find Hlm in this royal city. They asked, "Where is the King?" and they must have been disap- pointed, but they went on seeking and when they found Him they knew Him. They were not deceived by the swaddling clothes. How easily we are discouraged and disap- pointed, but wise are they who BETHiýiANY iEWS' seeketh and findeth their Saviour, their King. We should not be content and turned, aside until we find Him as a personal, loving Saviour. Again the Wisemen bad an object for their worship - wisdomn makes room for worship. These. men worshipped and if we 're wise we wiil too. What is worthip? Is it just a form? Worship means acknowledging the worth of. Do we really worýhip, especially at Christmas time9 God asks us to worship. Santa Claus is being seen all over the world even in pagan lands. Using Santa Claus is not worsbipping God. These Wise Men feil down and worsbipped the baby Jesus. The Wisernen showed wisdomn by giving. Churches need money but the giving of money is often a salve for our conscience. Tbe theme of all God's work is giving. He gave His life as a ransom -wbat do we give? There is only one gif t that is acceptable and that is ourselves for His glory. What can I give Him? Think! Give Him your heart. Present your body as a living sacrifice acceptable unto, God which is our reasonable service. The Wisemen worsbipped, the Wisemen gave! We are sorry to hear Mrs. Weston Hutchinson is confined to the hospital. May she have a speedy recovery. Mrs. Audrey Ambrose met witb a painful accident as the resuit of a f aIl on the ice and is taking treatments at the Civic Hospital. We wish her quick bealthy resuits.
