The first Christmas celebrated by white men in Canada was that of Ja ques Cartier and his men who eld a charming peace-mak- ing ceremony. The second Christ- mas was‘ in 1605 held in Nova Scotia. By 1606 white men had come to stay and Christmas was celebrated as a religious festi- val as well as by games and sport for the young. In 1635 in Quebec City, the French colony flag was at half-mast as Samuel Cham- plain had died that Christmas morning. It was a sad day but the colony had learned to live in peace with the Indians. We have' now had the happy experience of 144 years of peace with the United States. Rev. Ivan Kennedy was guest speaker and chose to speak on Christmas in Canada through the years and today. By 1783 the Old English Christ- mas customs which had been in- troduced by the U.E. Loyalists were prevalent. The men cut and hauled the Yule Log to the homes by hand â€" no beast was used â€"â€" after which the log was lit. and the Christmas story told, as the family sat Mounds-it. Venison was the main course with vege- tables and salmon or white fish. Dessert was pies made from dried fruit. Maple syrup was also part of the feast. It was a happy occasion for the pioneers. The first exchange of mail took place in 1792. This consisted of letters and some newspapers con- taining Yuletide messages. In 1866, sixteen Canadian men met and drew up the British North America Act. ,On that Christmas Eve they finished their task. It was from a verse read from the Bible by one 30! these men that evening that this new country of ours was given the word “Dominion” in its name. Bells of joy rang out that night. The W.A. and W.M.S. Christ- mas meeting was held at the home of Mrs. John Umehara on Decem- ber 18. The theme read by Mrs. Macklin was “Christmas Peace". The hymn 0 Little Town of Bethlehem was sung by all. Mrs. Macklin then read a very beauti- ful and thought-provoking ver- sion of the Story of Christmas. This was followed by Mrs. Albert Folliott leading in prayer. Hark the Herald Angels Sing was the second carol sung at the Christ- mas meeting. In 1814 peace was signed just. before _ Christmas. Christmas across Canada varâ€" ies greatly. British Columbia has a green Christmas. The Prairie farms experience severe cold and snow. The great cities have beau- tifiully lighted Christmas trees, toyland and Santa, great window displays and a festive air through- out. There is a great variety of cus- toms among Maritimes and Newfoundland fishermen. How- evmr. throughout our land of Canada it is truly a national cel- ebration with the spirit of joy, love and goodwill witnessing the birth of Christ the world over. It is good to be reminded bf the need of others and to learn that it is more blessed to give than to receive. The Christmas cele- bration strengthens family ties and stretches far beyond that home to the many lands of God’s creation. It was t6 'celebr'ate the birth” of Christ and the birth of a new country, “Canada”. Today it does extend from sea to sea and has deveolped from four provinces to ten. On the farms in Ontario. we cut down our own tree and de- corate it â€" large family re-unions are held. In Quebec the religious side is more important. There is mid- night mass and a creche on dis- play. Mrs. F. Boys expressed the ap- preciation of the members to Mr. Kennedy for this inspiring ad- dress. Mrs. Wm. Tumer favour- ed the group with a beautifully sung solo, “What Child is This?" Mrs. Umehara and the ladies were very happy indeed to have Mrs. Carr of Toronto present for this meeting. Sunday School Concert On the evening of Friday, De- cember 19. the children of Tem- peranceville Sunday School en- tertained their parents and friends at their annual Christ- mas concert. It was most grati- fying to those interested in the children of this community to see so many in attendance. Rev. Kennedy acted as Chair- man. The primary classes under the direction of Miss Joan Hare and with Miss‘ Donna Jennings at the piano sang two numbers. All members of the Intermed- iate Class and two of the Juniors took part in the play "The Sub- stitute Shepherd” directed by Mrs. Milton Wells. Elaine Pax- ton favoured with a piano selec- tion.

On Friday afternoon Mrs. Blackburn had a party for her junior grades to which the mothers were invit- ed.
