It seems that the whole Christian world at the Christmas season in thought and imagination is going Meditation _ment, and you have an influence upon the minds of Christian and hem and see this thing which is people so powerful that even Par- ;come to pass, which the Lord hath liaments have to adjourn for the | Ontario season. And more remarkable that 'the United. Nations composed of so many non-Christian members, is forced to adjourn. And we should Don't Chance Fire At Christmas Communities such as ours in suffer their. biggest fire |loss during the winter season, Fire Chief Les Stewart said today. The | reason? All heating systems are in constant use and Christmas to Bethlehem; or will be, with all;hope and pray that all the non-|prings a flock of new fire hazards the Christmas festivities that will take place. Christmas articles ap- pearing in all the papers of. the country, pictures of shepherds and sheep, with- the .manger. scene, Mary and Joseph and the little: babe, lying in a manger,-all in the picture. Focussing our thought and attention on Bethlehem where. He was born. ; O 'little. town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless - sleep The silent stars go by: Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting light; : The hopes and fears~of -all- the years Are met in Thee tonight: For Christ is born of Mary; And gathered all above. While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth." Add to all this the millions of Christmas cards already in the mails, bearing messages of Good Will and Peace, to others repeat- ing the angels' song to. shepherds at Bethlehem, '"'Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth Peace, Good Will to men." Add Sunday preaching, and carol singing to all this Christmas senti- and Mrs. William Sohm in \South River and while there attended the Sohm -- Tanner wedding. Mr. Glenn Church called on Mr. and Mrs. W. Church en route from Timmins to his home in Toronto this week. Mrs. Ivan Smith spent a few days the guest of her brother-in- law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Ro- bert Price. : Earl Burant left for Toronto on Tuesday morning. Christian members might be led to Bethlehem -and «hear the angel message, "Unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a. Sav- jour, which is Christ the Lord." The: problem is to get them to feel their need of Saviour? This is the problem of the Christian Church, to so present Christ that they will accept this gift of God's love to: the whole world. There is a story told of a minis- ter who made up a generous purse of money to, pay.a widow's rent. He came and knocked on her door, but 'there was no response. He went away sad. i "Why didn't you open for him?", a friend asked her later. "I thought it was the man who came to col- lect. the. rent,"'-she.replied. Many people have the mistaken idea that Christ comes only to col- our liberty, spoil our leisure, take our money, our personal ambi- tions and amusements. Religion to them is a charge, an irritation, and the collection of tribute. But Christ comes to give. He offers us: forgiveness of sin, peace and Christian fellowship. The unspeak- able riches of heaven are offered as a gift. He restores our souls to sanity and safety. He renews our minds with a true sense of values: He took our sins and gave us His righteousness. He took our fears and gave us His good cheer, He takes our weakness and gives us His strength. He ransomed us from the devil and brought us back to God. When we go to Beth- lehem we should go in humility and adoration. : Prayer: Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord, peace in heaven and glory in the highest. O Son of God who once camest in weakness to restore us; free us from all remaining bonds of sin that we may celebrate thy mighty Advent without fear, For His name's sake... . Amen lect from us. He will take away | into every home. | The symbol of Christmas festivi- ties, the Christmas tree, can turn from a glittering family delight to a dangerous inferno if we are careless of fire safety rules. This hazard grows with the size of the tree, the length of time it has been cut, where it is placed in the room and how long we keep it after Christmas. Chief Stewart urged householders to observe a few simple rules of Christmas tree fire safety. "Al- ways select a fresh, green tree that is not dropping needles,' he said, "and keep it in a cool place until you are ready to set it up. Then, 'cut off the trunk at an angle about' an inch and a half from the bottom and place it in water. Be sure to keep the water container full at all times. Inspect your strings of lights for breaks, frays or shorts and replace any defec- tive strings with new ones. When purchasing new strings, be sure to look for the CSA mark of certifi- cation -- your assurance that they are safe from fire and shock haz- ard. Choose, a location in the room away from all sources of heat such as radiators, fireplaces and TV sets. Make sure, too, that the tree will not obstruct any exit from the room should it fall. An important point. to rémember 'is never to leave the house or go to bed and leave the tree lights burn- ing." Christmas parties or New Year's parties increase the prob- lem of careless smoking which started nearly 10,000 fires in On- tario last year. The fire chief ad- vised all hosts and hostesses to keep cigarettes and matches away from the tree and to check for carelessly discarded butts after a party. Christmas decorations and wrappings are another Christmas fire hazard. Wrappings should be disposed of in a metal garbage can immediately after the gifts have been opened. Special care should be exercised where open flame candles. are used for mantle or table decoration but, the chief advises, it would be far safer not to use them at all. Observance of a few simple rules of fire safety will ensure a merry, firesafe Christmas. Fireproof Christmas tree decora- tions are the best. Use decorations made of either glass, metal, or a fire-resistant material.
