Fournier SERVICE in _TWO KINDS OF FROST Frost can be cured by electricity but the frozen soul needs the warmth of the Love of God. The good news of Christmas came to those who sat in darkness and the shadow of death. The sublime artistry of the Angels‘ song lies in the fact that it was heard by a world snowed under by despair. Man‘s little schemes are ushered in with drums and bells but God knows nothing of these inch high scaffoldings of human greatness. The reserved seats for the first Christmas service were for humble men. The shepherd‘s.â€"were common folk. ‘They lived a hard monotonous life. They had their night shifts too like thousands of our Northern miners. These men while at their . jJob heard the most wonderful news that ever fell on mortal ears â€" God cares for you and me. THE MANGER IS GOD‘S SIGNATURE Caesar Augustus was a great man who ruled the known world. His earthly title was unchallenged.: But he saw nothâ€" ing and heard nothing. He would have laughed if anyone told him that he would be chiefly remembered because a Child was born in one of his most obscure provinces. There are some _people who will never hear the angel‘s they. are tone deaf. The icruel, the selfish. the materialistic may have their compensaâ€" t‘ons but they are not in tune with the Infinite. .The manger _ _sigh is God‘s Signature â€" There no cradle enriched with iwry or gems no palace with indirect lighting. Now perhaps a log _ house were some pibneer watches his young wife or a wigwam on Hudson‘s Bay where a dusky Mary wraps her firstborn in a Tabbitskin blanket, The vision of God‘s love will not leave man forsaken. It will be glorified by the drugery of every dawn. ¢ ~â€" _THE ROMANCE OF GOLD The Christmas picture is completed by coming of the three kings whose stately progress was led by a star, fascinates They came a little late, but they came. Anyone who watches the stars today will see that the wise men of the West after much ‘disillusionment abaut a man made paradise are beginning to do the same.. The kings of our modern world have new names but their powers and responsibilities are the same. Like the Magi they must come with gifts to the manger cradle, gold, frankinsence and myrrh.. I can only speak of one. Christ is God in a miners‘ jacket, prospecting the tough ‘bushland for the precious ore of the human soul, missionaries _are not traders or farmers, They are prospectors risking everything for the most precious gem of all. ‘What is the desâ€" â€"\tiny of man? I don‘t know but I have a suspicion that God is the greatest gambler of all, Overseas Broadcast Of Bishop Renison Northern Canada is the land of the Pre Cambrian Shield. The people who live here know well that if it were not for gold this area would still be left to the cariboo and the beaver. To us it means rising towns and cities, mills, electric power and mines. Homes and dreams. t is more than wealth. It is the mystic mirror of the spiritual and material quest of humâ€" anity.> It seems that history is a long treasure Hunt with a pot of gold at the end of the trail and then we bury it in the earth from which it came.. The scent was cunningly scattered long before man appeared on the earth. § ong DeIore man appeared on the earth. The ch‘ef characteristic of gold is that it must be sought for. (Gold is where you find it), ‘"‘The labors, deaths and sacrifices of man‘s strivings have been worth more to our naâ€" tional character than all the dividends of the mines.. "They shall be mine saith the Lord of Hosts in that when I make up my jewels". Let us go to Bethichem you wil find it wherever you are . . . . ‘The December Christ has come.. This is the towit of Timâ€" mins, a Northern Befthlechem, unkown when the Saviour was born. We prefer to regard the coming of Christmas during the shortest days of the year when darkness reigns as no myth, or accident but a mystery with a divine purpose. It is no ilâ€" lusion to picture the Holy Child in a snow storm. (Cold is rare but more terrible in Palestine than in Moosonee. Christ is not merely a Summer sun for the prosperous but a Winter fire for ‘the poor. , Northern Ontario is a land of "Rock of Ages" and Christâ€" mas trees. . A mile beneath our feet as I speak there is a subâ€" teranean city lighted and powered by electricity where the ore is carried to the shafts. But outside a pure white carpet has been spread for a thousand miles. Last night the Northern lights came out fo serenade the stars. t > THE CYÂ¥CLE OF HISTORY If we shut our eyes.and use our minds, we can follow the Empire of men on this planet from the Equator to the Pole. Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, Constantinople, Spain, Paris London and New York have left.their mark on the dial of history, Now the rays have reached Moscow the cycle of the earth is almost complete. Let Us Go Now Even Unto Bethichem â€" «â€" a place. It is a state of mind. It may Bethichem is more th be‘that when theâ€"epic of the universe is finished, the third class planet which we call the earth will find its glory and its excuse for existence in the tale of a maid, a cradle and a star.
