He said also that he felt council should go slowly in anything that might increase its debenture debt.

On the one hand it means “to be doubtful,” and on the other “to be filled with awe.” Perhaps a little bit of both meanings lingers in the heart of the Christmas celebrant today. What took place in Bethlehem seems quite beyond all human capacity to believe; at the same time it lifts the soul in trusiful awesomeness before God. “for re-typing only“ â€"- brought about some strong objections by Councillor Charles Hoover at a meeting of Markham Township Coun- cil last week. To those who have their doubts about Christ- mas, the very beauty of the day can deny its reality. The strangely transforming spirit, when human im- pulses are at their best, strains the faith. People can't be true," says the doubter, “for it is much too beautiful and idealistic. Man simply is not like that, and tomorrow he will be back again at his very un-Christmas-like ways. How can God permit such a contradiction?” Yet for others, Christmas â€"â€" the Christ-event â€" strikes a chord deep at the levels of faith. Here God‘s truth is confronted. When the earth seems dark and forlorn, the overwhelming brightness of God himself confronts man with the greatest event in history: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” God has spoken! Christ has come! A great and mighty wonder Our Christmas festal brings; On earth, a lowly Infant, Behold the King of kings! The Word is made incarnate, Descending from on high; And Cherubim sing anthems To shepherds, from the sky. And we, with them triumphant, Repeat the hymn again: “To God on high be glory, And peace on earth, to men!" May all of us know the true joy of Christmas as the love and power of God â€" incarnate in Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world â€" enters our hearts i‘adiant in the spirit of love, generosity and forgive- ness, offer such a contrast to the usual._ “It simply Some propnsed changes in a draft of the North Thorn- hill subdivision agreementâ€"â€" LISTEN HERE: and lives A Day Of Wonder! x i ( Axmmmwxxxxx ~<s \\\\V \7\.’ v W fighter Funeral Home The Wright & Taylor Chapel S Serving the community since 1876 V? i i i 126 Yonge St. N.
