It was Sarah Flowers Adams who wrote Nearer h{}v God To Thee, an outâ€" standing Unitarian and another great Unitarian, Sir John Bowering, who bestowed ugm us that most exquisife hymn, In the Cross of Christ l‘};lory.

The one who entered our human life as a babe in Bethlehem, and, the life that was actually lived by Jesus. We must guard against leaving the personal Christ ~out of Christmas, and out of our lives. Is it not possible that some of the confuâ€" sion that we find in our present conâ€" fused world is due to the confusion in our own personal life. We must first reconstruct our own inner life before we can join up with all others of §ood will in building a Christian world. Let‘s all of us be caught by Men everywhere, whether it be Henry Ford, Ghandi or Lenin are driven to ask one question, "What are our final values?

The whole world is a paradox the speaker lead those presâ€" ent to think, when he quoted the words of a number of outstanding ‘writers. "Bernard Shaw wrote that he was of the opinion that this world is the lunatic agylum of the universe." ‘Basil Mathews, another great writer is reported to have said under the heading of ‘World Fellowship‘, Chrisâ€" tian society faces toâ€"day an historic hour. Clash of nationalism, bolshevâ€" ism, and mechanistic materalism, has created a world crisis into that arena all of us no matter what race, nation or class we belong, or in what continâ€" ent or island we live, are irresistâ€" ably drawn. From the consequences of this clash, whether disastrous or glorious, none of our children will to expect to receive of the best we must reciprocate in like manner, and that is what is troubling the world toâ€" day. We‘ are not giving of our best. ‘Wr- strive to do so, and no doubt do during the Christmas season, but that is not enough, If we can be so happy at this period of the year in giving of our best there can be no logical reaâ€" son why we do not do the obvious and be happy every day in the year and all our lives. The chaplain, Rev. R. J. McLeod, read the story of the birth of Jesus from the Moffatt version of the Bible, and, without comment took his seat There was a brief silence after the reading, and one wondered what was passing through the minds of those present during that silence. The chairâ€" man then introduced the speaker for the afternoon by saying that though it was necessary as the common duty of the chairman to introduce the %)eaker, he felt that the Rev. Mr. H. E. Wellwood needed no introduction. In opening his address, the speaker referred to the Moffatt version of the birth of Christ, and went on to say that his message for the day would be closely connected to the Christmas time, and the spirit of Christmas. He felt that the Christmas spirit which was without doubt, worldâ€" wide, was the finest of advertisement he could think of for Christianity, It is too bad said he, that the Christmas 'sPirit was not an everyâ€"day spirit. The meeting of the Four Square men‘s class opened in the usual manâ€" ner with prayer, which was then folâ€" lowed by a somewhat slight deviation in the form of a singâ€"song. The chairâ€" man asked that those present make their choice of hymns to be sung, and 15 minutes was so taken up, in the singing of some of the best known hymns, and it was such a success that the class as a whole voted on a moâ€" tion‘ of Mr. Geo.

Other congregations _ sent visitors to be warmly welcomed in that hearty spirit of brotherhood that features‘ the town life of Weston. From the first tones of the choir proâ€" cessional to the last words of the evening benediction, the Christmas spirit was the central joyâ€"tone of the day, and the hearty singing of the ancient Carols everâ€"new by all presâ€" ent was no doubt partly due to the effective lead given by the choir whose members were all present, and who contributed also three selections at each service, "Christians awake, salute the happy morn‘", "God rest Weston Presbyterians Enjoy lr Christmas Sunday Services [ you merry gentlemen", being especialâ€" ly well rendered in fine time and exâ€" pression. The sermons of the day by Rev. £â€" C. Harper were appropriate subjects : ‘"The Difference His Coming makes", and â€" "Christ crowded out", with definite evidences in both that the speaker . never forgets the Gospel background in any address. In the morning, attention was drawn to the fact that heathen "isms" were largeâ€" ly limited to the immediate ground on which they sprang, but of Christ and His Christianity it might well be truly said that their lines had gone out to the ends of the earth, and all nations had seen the saivation of our God in the results. ei transforming grace. Homes, hearts>and lives, even civilizations, were different because Christ came long ago, and comes still in the experience and convictions of human hearts and souls. Newspapers, sometimes the scandalâ€"sheets of yelâ€" low journalism, became the influenâ€" tial dispensers of Xmas cheer because a wholesome public opinion had creâ€" ated demand for such news agencies through the influence of a Christianâ€" ized civilization. When the Lord Christ came to reign over a worldâ€" brotherhood kingdom, the Hallelujahs of the infinite spheres would herald only that the final "Differences His ('vo!nihg made" were complete.

To worship really the Guest of the Inner Shrine is to find spiritual inâ€" dependence in the very midst of jostling, crowding things, impulses, whims and fads, that today would make us to be "all turned round" in confusion worse confounded.
