THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 24. 1940 PAGE ELEVEN YULE MESSAGES BY MINISTERS OF (TY CHURCHES § ! (Continued from Page 3) no joutward and visible sign of his heavenly origin. : The coming of this heavenly child was withheld from the wealthy and infliential, but was announced to Jewish simple-minded shepherds keeping watch over their flocks in the fields of Judea. ' No, it was not strange when we remember that this was intended to promote peace and good-will among men, and this good-will programme must naturally begin with the grieved and common people of the earth into whose hearts and lives the Saviour of men was first to promote his kingdom. No wonder that the birth of Jesus was first announced to the shep- herds abiding on the hills, that Jesus went among the poor and dis- tressed people of the earth while He lived in the flesh, and that it was commonly reported that the com- mon people heard Him gladly. --Rev. S. A. Kemp. NORTHMINSTER Music was supplied for both ser- vices by the choir. In the morning the choir sang "There Came Three Wise Kings," "Christians Awake" with Mrs. Stevens taking the solo parts, and "Behold I Come." The congregation joined in sing- ing Christmas carols. The morning subject was "The Advent of Jesus." The intimate story of Christmas was told. It is not a mystic story nor a legendary theory but a fact of his- tory which we all need to hear once in a while. There are more people chinking about Jesus today and henoring God and .worshipping Christ than ever before. I hope that on Christmas Day you will have one other guest in your midst, the Son of God, that He may be your Guest and that you will worship Him. At the evening service the choir sang "Who is He in Yender Stall?" and Misses Jessie Osborne and Pauline McGovern sang "O Little Town of Bethlejgpm." The evening message was "REsults of the coming of Christ into the world." --Rev. W. E. Millson. CALVARY BAPTIST Our message Christmas Sun- day was about Simeon a Saint Singer, and a Seer. In his short biography we are told he was first a Man. Second he was just in his dealings with those outside. Third he lived a devoted life in his rela- tion to His God. Fourth he was looking for tha consolation of Israel Fifth he was one filled with the Hol# Ghost. And finally he had a special revelation of the coming of the Lord Jesus. When Simeon took the Young Babe in his arms and looked into His face, he cried out, "Lord lettest thou thy servant depart in peace according to thy word: For mine Brightest Star Tonigh . we want our wish to stand out in your memories as one carrying a special hope that this Christmas will find you happier and gayer than you have ever been before.

The word love does not mean charity, nor sex attraction, but the active desire for the welfare of others which will lead one to sac- | rificial -effort that what is best for them may be attained. Love is the supreme gift because without it other gifts such as eloquence, | scholarship, wealth and power, are | barren, and because love is the most enduring element in human life. The speaker closed with an ap- peal to his audience to express the spirit of love at this Christmas season, and to respond to God's gift of love on the first Christmas day by dedicating their lives to the ser- vice of His Kingdom. LORD HALIFAX APPOINTMENT PLEASES KING ~~ Prime Minister Stresses Close Knowledge of International Affairs of New Ambassador goodwill express wi Ottawa, Dec, 24--Prime Minister Mackenzie King says he was "greatly pleased" to learn that Lord Halifax, British Foreign Sec- retary, had been appointed British Ambassador to Washington.

The fish found in the Pacific Ocean are usually larger, their flesh is coarser and of a darker - color, than the Atlantic salmon,-and they ascend the rivers to spawn. but once; and to die be- fore leaving. i The "usual size of "an Atlantic salmon is about 15 pounds, although fish weighing 25, 30 and even 40 pounds a.: frequently caught and there is an occasional monster of 60 pounds, T quinnat, called also the spring salmon, of the Pacific, Is sometimes five feet in length and the usual average is about 22 pounds. One of these latter was taken not long ago by a fisherman in the Bay of Fundy, near the mouth of the St. John River, where the very finest flavored of all the Atlantis | salmon are netted, but it is not to be supposed that it came by itself around the Horn or through the Panama €anal. Some years ago U.S. authorities tried planting these spring salmon in eastern water, and this may have been of them, or one of their descendants. Fish culturists made similar ex- periments in the St. John River and its tributaries, but the oczcur- rence of these strangers in local waters has not been reported for years. While New Brunswick abounds in good salmon streams--ihe Resti- gouche is only one of them, albenr the most famous--and while sal- mon ascend the St. John River and spawn there, the main river is not a fly-fishing. resort, and the To- bique is the only one of its tribu- taries where the fish rise freely. 12 the appointment of Lord Halifax as British Ambassador at Washing- ton.
