BURY Missionaries serving in Japan riests of pagan their diminishing flocks by copy- ing Christian customs and tech- niques. They have introduced for instance, and ve taken Christian hymns and tunes, and substituted the name of this astute tactic is that they are trying to copy the Christian device which has been so instrumental in attracting young and old to the hymn singin The missionaries tell us that the Buddhists are disappointed in the results they are obtaining. Even though they emplor lively and moving tunes, something seems to be missing. The Japanese Chris- tians know the answer: it is con- tained in the one word Joy. The one all-important factor which paganism cannot capture is the exalting experience of Joy which sweeps over the soul of the be- lieving Christian. Joy, which Paul calls a 'fruit of the spirit', has been an 1sepa- rable feature of Christianity from its inception, and a dominant char- acteristic of the practising Chris- tian. When weary, toil-worn peo- ple, discouraged and depressed in spirit, looked at the happy coun- g. 11), Marks Of The religion of Jesus had no room for long-faced gloom which too frequently was only a super- ficial expression of a shallow faith. The good news, the Gospel He came to procliam, was such a wonderful boon to mankind, that Jesus let the joyous fact of this truth overflow from His own heart into the longing hearts of His lis- teners. Said He: "These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. (John 15: The note of was inter- jected into many is parables, naturally and sincerely. 0 shall ever Jorge: His picture of the good shepherd searching for the lost sheep? "And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing", (Luke 15:5). What joy there is in the heart of the Fa- ther as he welcomes back home the prodigal son! Joy is an integral part of our i Christian endowment. It i®-freely bestowed upon all who accept Christ, and springs spontaneously | in their hearts through the out- pouring of the Holy Spirit.

He was ordain- ed to the ministry in 1743 and served for several years as assist- ant pastor of the Silver Street Presbyterian Church in London. When he married an English- woman of wealth in 1747 he soon gave up aching and settled down at St. Albans to a life of writing. In the years that followed he turned out nearly 50 hymns, His hymn about the waiting Sa- viour made its first appearance in a booklet of religious songs which he brought out, in 1765.

He Manages Show For Santa Claus By ROD CURRIE Canadian Press Staff Writer WINDSOR, Ont. (CP)--For thou- sands who line the streets of more than a dozen Ontario cities to view the annual Santa Claus parade, Ben Matlock is the nearest thing to Santa this side of the North Pole. Ben is the paint-smeared genius behind the glittering, $30,000 two- mile long display which kindles ihe Christmas spirit in young and old. He and his helpers, worl in a large building which resembles an airport hangar, handle tons of papier mache, paint, silver rope, wire mesh, wooden frames, arti- ficial snow and multi-colored cloth to fashion several new floats and remodel some of last year's for this year's parade. Sketches are transformed into 18 giant floats to equal in splendor even the most vivid dreams youngsters who have followed the adventures of Cinderella, Humpty Dumpty and dozens of other fairy- land folks. With eight motorized floats haul- ing the other trailer floats they will head for cities as far away | as Ottawa. The first engagement | will be at Dearborn, Mich. During | the last six years Ben has han- dled 100 parades in 20 cities. PLAYS SANTA ROLE i Santa, usually Ben himself, rides | a 50-foot, snow-covered combina-| tion - truck-trailer on which is mounted the traditional sleigh and | eight reindeer. | ther floats include a three car | candy train, Jack the Giant Killer, | the Old Woman in the Shoe and | her children, and Cinderella in a posh carriage. Ben draws many | ideas from his library which in-| cludes probably the largest private | collection of children's books in| Canada. I He and his wife and three chil dren live in a cottage adjoining the lant, situated on three acres of and in suburban Windsor. i Born in a small community near | Kingsville, Ont., some 50 years ago | | Ben first showed his artistic. abil- | {ity on one of the walls of a house his family occupied. Later he be-| came a decorator in a Detroit de- | artment store. f TARTED OWN FIRM | Six years ae he started the {firm of B. G. Matlock, Ltd., here and created animated characters and displays for Canadian stores. | He got the idea for the Santa par- ades after Windsor merchants paid | $2,000 to import a parade from the United tes. En route the of parade ran into a hurricane and presented a tattered sight by the time it arrived here. The following year Ben made some models and won the finan- cial support of a merchants' asso- ciation. The parade has been going ahead ever since. Besides his usual Santa parade, | Ben now is working on various | | schemes for decorating Windsor | during its centennial celebrations | next year. Another pet project is the si- bility of creating a 'Parade of Pro- | gress" which would tour about 30 | of the major fall fairs in the prov- ince. If he can get enough support | from various industries and firms, he said, the parade could be ex- tended later to take in more of the | 200 fairs held in Ontario amnyilly | Ike Gives Medal | To UK.

Garden Opera Too Busy to Come Across the Atlantic By GLENNE CURRIE LONDON (Reuters) -- The pres- ence of the Sadler's Wells Ballet in North America for a third time has raised the question: "When will the Wells' sister company, the Covent Garden Opera, cross the Atlantie?"' The answer is: 'Not for some time," though such a trip definitely is included in the long-range plans of the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, home of the two com- panies. The reasons for the delay are both financial and artistic. Taking the opera overseas would involve an operation three or four times as big and costly as moving the ballet around. Even so, im- presario Sol Hurok, who is backing the ballet, is interested in the idea. Even more important is the fact that the opera company is still young. It started its eighth season this week and has not reached a standard where it can compete directly with New York's Metro- politan Opera. The first Covent Garden Theatre was built in 1732. ; Di the Second World War the theatre was used as a public dance hall. The enforced layoff gave the management a chance to draw up an ambitious program which it put into operation in 1946.
