Mr. Rylarsdam, who is employed on the Boake farm, The old-fashioned Christmas spirit was captured last week- end when the Pioneer Village was the scene of many winter- time activities. And even the weather co-operated with its snowy and wintry atmosphere. There was skating on the old farm pond and horse-drawn sleigh rides for the delight of the general public. The lower parking lot is flooded for skat- ing and the facilities of the park are free of charge on weekends between 10 am. and 5 pm. The only charge is the nominal 50 cent parking fee for cars in the Pioneer Village grounds Last winter many people crowded the hills on their to- boggans and children learned to ski on the low hills in the vil- lage.

It is also true that a number among us have been able to continue residence in this part of Ontario for several generations. surviving the chance and change that have become part of life in the middle of the 20th cen- tury.

On New Year's day, Mr. and Mrs. Jagger Oldham of Mount Albert will visit with Mr. and Mrs. Hunter and family. It seems to me that the first duty of a seasoned trav- eller is to CHECK HIS BAG- GAGE. What are the things we must take with us into the new year? Now one thing we will be taking is memory. And let this be a happy mem~ ory. It is vitally important that we store the right things residence is a constant threat of change; the others who re- main however are compelled to deal with changing times. In any case both are travell- ers â€"- constant travellers. At the moment We are interest- ed in what can be in store for us in the year 1963. since our mental health may be affected for good or for ill in future days. The war- ping of our outlook upon life is self-perversion; or there can be imperceptibly a build- ing up of prejudice and an irrational way of thinking. It is personal disaster if we are not responsive to kind and thoughtful suggestions. Installation At Vaughan Lodge The Masons of Vaughan Lodge No. 54, G.R.C.. installed their 1963 officers in a most impress- ive ceremony recently in the Masonic Hall, Maple.

We cannot get rid of the past. Inevitany it is up- on the past that our tomor- rows will be built. It is a good thing that history is part of the school curriculum. We learn how great men he- came familiar with the avail- able things of their day and proved themselves in some small way masters over evâ€" ents instead of bewailing how they were already victims of mph and events contributed by its readers in Maple.

He makes his arrangements with people at the other end of his trip. In the same way, it is just as reasonable for the Christian to check with his Maker and early arrive at an understanding before starting out. It may be that when you have glanced over the Wisdom Literature of the Old Testament, you have said to yourself, “This is just plain common sense arrived at out of the trial and error of experience; this is just hard headed thinking." But you cannot read the book of Ecclesiastes without realizing that despite all the many dis- agreeable elements in life and its disappointments, he knows that God Is there â€" He is the Rock of Ages. And the shelter of that Rock was meant for him too. The story of the Hebrews of the Old Testament tells us that he may have picked up ideas from the many nations in which he lived, moved and had contact. But these had no value for him personally until he checked it out with the Almighty and the Divine purpose. the Covenant rela- tionship, which God meant them to carry out. Unfor- tunately, it seems to be all too human to try to twist God's purposes to our own convenience. The Reformers tell us that any want of con- formity to the law and love of God is sin as well as de- liberately breaking that law and love. circumstances. Qudt you like men, says St. Paul. for we have to do with firincipalit- ies, powers, things present and thin-gs to come. It is a good tradition to take with you that those who are ‘in Christ' do overcome even- tually. In the third place, to live a New Year, one needs NEW POWER. No one wants to make the same mistakes as last year. Some travellers I know are salesmen for fur- niture firms. At the begin- ning of December most of these firms have a new cat- alogue prepared. Some lines of furniture are dropped out, some are modified and chan- ged, new lines may be intro- duced. New price lists, new descriptive information, new methods of production must be understood and explana- tions given to customers. In the same way Christians are in constant need of renewal and new power. Some chur- ches are in need of members who are willing to try a new line in the coming year -â€" it may be teaching Sunday school. New worlds of inter- est can open up. It does not pay to listen to the super- clever who are too easily and “terrifically bored” with ev- erything. No salesman could earn his salt with this attiâ€" tude. Prince, M. Darker, S.

At the moment most of our Ontario furniture firms are preparing for the furn- ture show which takes place in the middle of January at the exhibition grounds. They must display their wares that the public can see and ex- amine. So it is with the Christian faith. Then again there will come a day when the last report will be made to HEADQUAR- TERS. One thing we can- not ignore â€"- “As in Adam all die." The final reports must be prepared. It is well to keep in mind when start- ing out. Now read Psalm 121 which concludes with the fol- lowing words â€"â€" “The Lord shall preserve Thy going out and Thy coming in from this time forth and even for ever- more." A YEAR FAMOUS FOR. BELIEVING Rev. Emil F. Lange Pastor Zion Lutheran Church The passing of the 01d Year and the ushering in of a New Year is something like the celebration of our birth- day. It stands constantly as a reminder of how quickly the precious moments of our lives pass by. They are here one moment and almost as quickly have passed on into eternity. We can never hope to bring them back again. While we live in the world we may use these moments God has given to us, but once they have passed we can nevâ€" er expect their return. ' Neverthelss, such a concept of time will have no reality for us unless we see our- selves in a living relationship with the Divine as the Auth- or of our lives and the Ful- filler of our hopes. Moments have real meaning as they are lived out by faith in God and as they then work them- selves out in conscious ser- vice to our fellowmen. For this we will have ample op- portunity during the New Year but if we waste those moments we shall never be able to recall lost opportuni- ties. We have a purpose for living when our hope for a blessed future lies with God. As we accept Him and believe the promises He has given to all men we will be able to confidently enter the un- known future of another year to make our lives count for eternity.

MAY BE A YEAR FAMOUS FOR BELIEVING! This is the wish and prayer for all of us as we enter 1963. May it too be a year famous for believ- ing and may our believing in God be transformed into ac- tions of brotherhood and love for all men. Anglican Church Right around the world greetings will be exchanged and we shall say to each other in friendly fashion: “Happy New Year”. Here we have a fresh be- ginning. We, shall head our letters, “The New Year 1963”. _ Heré we have a new chap- ter. As someone once wrote it in a singing verse: “Here‘s a clean year, A white year, Reach your hand and take it, You are the Builder And no one else can make it.” In one sense that is true. There is challenge in that line: “You are the Builder.” Jesus, our Lord, the greatest Teacher of all said: “Strive to enter in at the strait gate.” We have each one our part and our task and no one else can do it. “You are the Builder." The Bible which is the Book of Life tells us to re- deem the time and to buy up our opportunities. But it also rémlnds us that the arm of flesh will fail us if we trust in ourselves alone. GROWER â€" FLORIST So it is that as the New Year begins we carry over into it the message and the meaning and the power of Christmas when God himself came into our human life with all his power and bless- ing. You are the Builder, And no one else can makeit." So are we called in Christ to be “Builders together with “Here’s a clean year, A white year, Reach your hand and take it God."
