thornhaven school to post your christmas mail for local delivery to ensure early delivery of christmas hail to outoftown points consult the post office leaflet which has been delivered to your mothino is so disappointing as christmas mail that arrives too late canada ro57c post office from agincourt to wood- bridge on the south and from stouffville to king on the north the canvassers for thornhaven school for retarded children are on the march they need 30000 to keep the school oper ating for the next two years thornhaven covers south york county and willowdale and must get additional funds by public canvassing to keep their doors open every two years the school comes to the public for help realizing the heavy demands made on the community pocket- bosk they try to do this on the premise that people are hav ing heavy demands made on them annually by other commit ments over and above the municipal and provincial grants another 15000 is needed annually to keep the school in operation it costs nearly 150 per day to operate thornhaven of which s90 is supplied by grants and donations and a further sg0 is needed to cover the balance the school buses two of them travel 1g1 miles per day the teaching staff for forty pupils books lighting heating and mainten ance soon eat into the budget all this takes money the beautiful school is paid for but owing to the pressing need to help retarded children and the increasing enrolment the overhead is going up until such time as the provincial and federal and municipal govern ments move in to subsidize the school will need public support to keep its door open your help is urgently needed sunday school lesson welfare services to which the ontario government contributed the greatest sum cost 20141- 317 in york county during the 195s59 fiscal year a detailed analysis just completed by the welfare department at queens park shows on the basis of an assessed population of 1509792 the per capita cost works out to 1334 the province provided 9281- 1 great messianic prophecyand a 507 or 4g1 percent of the total g fulfillment perhaps it the federal government con- wou be more accurate to state tributed 306 percent the

417 golden text for unto us a child is born unto us a son is given and the govern ment shall be upon his shoul der and his name shall be called wonderful counsellor the mighty god the everiatstin father the prince of peace isa 96 the lesson as a whole because the people of israel had concluded a military alli ance with heathen syria and had aggravated this by coming under the influence of evil spir its god was about to visit his wrath upon them darkness would be their portion and the desperate conditions described in the concluding verses of chap ter eight of isaiah would be the consequences of this condem nation this darkness however would not be unrelieved nor would it be permanent into this very area gentile galilee light would burst and with this light would come abounding joy the enemy would be vanquished and the people delivered the storm would be followed by calm and light just as galilee in the north ern part of palestine was the corridor down which the invad er usually marched toward jerusalem so now galilee would be the first to introduce deliver ance and the deliverer this deliverer is the super natural and unique christ the son of god and the son of da vid he is the true king whose kingdom will ultimately bring righteousness and peace to the troubled earth appearing on the horizon of human affairs in the fulness of the time he would be perfect ly human as well as perfectly divine by his death he would redeem the condemned ones of the outraged law and actually make them sons of god in addition to this new rela tionship they would be dower ed by his very spirit and thus become gods distinguished heirs the heart of the lesson our study today concerns a ments await the future for their complete realization the old testament has israel chiefly in view and its prophets consistently envisage the glor ious future of the people under the scepter of the messiah some of these predictions have to do with messiahs first advent and some with his second those concerning the former were ful filled to the exact detail we may have every confidence that those affecting the latter will be just as exactly consummated christ was sent not only to redeem israel as a nation but also us as individuals this ne cessitated his redeeming sacri fice on the cross and the set tling of the sin question thus forgiveness could be righteously proffered another need remained how ever and that was the matter of relationship not as cringing criminals who have been just pardoned god undertook to make us actual sons in the fam ily sons who are also his heirs and worshipers but this re quired another gift that of the spirit of his son the holy spirit thus bethlehem was in view of calvary and calvary was in view of pentecost this involves the most inti mate of relationships and should produce the fullest of praise half past tiin visiting vl ristiyiasnb imewyearr mahomg buy t free tuberculin tests free chest xrays lives stmas seals cedar grove names with soft strange sounds representing far away places were entered in cedar grove school visitors book last friday afternoon mrs smith and the children were intro duced to sarjini menon from malaya lucia moh from free china mahmuda ahmed from pakistan herbert bulley of the ministry of education in ghana luther hines of the education department of jamaica west indies and isaac lanay also from ghana the thrill of meet ing these world travellers was enhanced by the fact that miss menon and mr ahmed wore their colourful native costume there was a certain amount of contriving on the childrens parts to feel the exotic materials which were apparently soooo soft miss moh left her signa ture and her address on the blackboard in chinese the columbia plan is respon sible for enabling young people from all parts of the world to study our methods of education and mr hallman is responsible for their being at ss 20 they had never before seen an un graded school and were keenly interested in seeing one in oper ation none of the questions mrs smith had anticipated were asked but she was faced with dozens she had never been called upon to answer for any prev ious group perhaps because of the orien tal save face philosophy they were surprised that small child ren who knew so little could be comfortable and unembarrassed in a room with older ones who knew so much it impressed them to learn that the older ones were encouraged to help the little ones and the system avoided any difficulty along those lines all the visitors and mr flow er of the ontario college of ed ucation spent time talking to the children individually so by the time the visit ended there had been a good exchange of conversation and ideas some of the ladies groups in the village have been asked to contribute small christmas pres ents to the canadian mental health assoc in order to pro vide a more pleasant christmas for patients both in hospitals and homes anyone wishing to contribute small
