[" | ti NINETY - NINTH YEAR By Aubrey Wice Once upon a time, away over où the other side of the world, in the village of Nazareth, in the hills of Galilee, there lived a beautiful girl named Mary.She was more beautiful than usual at this time because of lier love for Joseph.who was to be her husband, Mary was Just like the other girls in the village.She worked at the spinning wheel in her home, made bread, and after supper would go to the well for a pitcher of water.There she met her friends and, eyes shiny bright, would tell them of the plans she and Joseph had for their marriage.And, in the darkness, before going to sleep each night, she knelt and praved to God to bless their future life.+ Then, one day.in a blazing, blinding flash of white Light, an angle stood before Marv.This was Gabriel, a messenger of God, Mary trembled at the sight of this heavenly visitor.But Gabriel, speaking as softly as the fur of a pussy willow, told her not to be afraid.He said that of everyone in the whole world she bad been chosen to be the mother of Jesus, the Saviour of the world.This meant that from then on, people would call her blessed.So excited was Mary by the news from the angel, she had to talk to someone.Out the door she ran, and across the hills to Elizabeth her cousin.When Mary told her the news, Elizabeth was so happy, she put her arms around Mary and Kissed her.Then the two of them sat down and talked and laughed, and laughed and talked, until they were almost out of breath.There was so much for them to talk about, because Elizabeth, too was going to become à mother.Her baby was to become known as John the Baptist, and when grown up, he would baptize Jesus in the river.IT WAS HARD Joseph, who became Mary's husband, was a carpenter.He worked with a hammer, saw and chisel, making chairs, tables, and plows for the farmers.To pull the plows farmers used oxen, and Joseph made their wooden vokes, Working with his hands, instead of his head like a school teacher, Joseph found it hard to understand the .Virgin Birth, God kuew this, Ile knows everything that has ever happened.And he knows what will take place tomorrow, and ten thousand tomorrows, if there are that many.: So, while Joseph was sleeping, God sent an angel to him in a dream.The angel talked to Joseph, explaining to him that \u2018the Virgin Birth was the action of the Holy Ghost.And Joseph who loved God.just \u2018as Mary did felt from then on a great peace, and much greater love for Mary, if that were possible.Then, one day, working at his bench in the carpenter shop, Joseph heard a lot of excited talking going on ontside, : He was making a table he wanted to get finished, x0 tried to hear what the people were saying while hammering away.This didn\u2019t work out very well, so there was only one thing to do.Go ont and see what it was all about.And that\u2019s what he did.A man had come through the village.Nazareth was so small, evervone knew everyone else, but no one knew this man.He was from far away.THE FIRST TIME There was the notice, though, that he had put on the trunk of the tree.It said that the government of Caesar Augustus was going to count everybody, They do that in Canada, every 10 years or so: but this was probably the first time it had ever been done anywhere in the world.Caesar didn\u2019t really care to know how many people there were, just for the sake of knowing, He wanted to find out so he could get money from them.The mau who put the card on the tree could easily have counted these people living in Nazareth.But Caesar figured it would be better if they all went back to where they were born.It is easy to say these things, but what of the people that have to do them?Some were very old, others were siek, and in some families there were little children, even babies.It was going to be hard for them to travel.Just the same, they had to: because Caesar was à very cruel man, and when he said to do something vou had to do it, or he would punish you.So, when it was time, Joseph started out with Mary.They really didn't have far to go, the way we figure things today.It wasn't even as far as most people go on summer holidays.However, there were no ears, trains or buses in those days.Mary would have to ride on a donkey.Joseph would walk.To travel the nearly 100 miles to Bethlehem would take almost four days.They stopped and rested from time to time and once, with only six miles to travel, it seemed as though Mary could go no further.She was so tired.Loving her so much, Joseph almost gave in, and stopped.TEV EY EE ET ET EYER AT EY EYEE AT ETAT AE ET ET EY EE AT But he told Mary they could be in Bethlem that night, if they hurried.And thére \u2018would be a warm room in the inn.This made Mary feel better, and she smiled a beautiful, radiant smile, and said they had better go on.All along the way.they met other travelers, strag- wling along the valley road; while off in the distance.like a shadow against the sky, were the purple moun tains of Moab, The people spoke to each other, telling their troubles, where they had come from, and where they would be staying.Just talking to each other made them feel better.NO ROOM Once Joseph and Mary reached Bethlehem, they found it very noisy, and bright with campfires all over the place.It was almost like a day at the market, with people standing around in groups, all talking at once.Camels and donkeys were tied to trees, and dogs were jumping and barking in play, or searching for food.Joseph and Mary were surprised to see so many people, but all had to be there to be registered.And to pay a tax.Otherwise, Roman soldiers would have come after them.After looking around, Joseph soon found out that ail of the sleeping places were filled.There wasn't even room at the inn.\" He had been sure they would got in there.: The innkeeper felt very sorry about it.But there was nothing he could do.Then, looking at Mary's tired face, he knew some place had to be found for her to lie down.That's when he thought of the stable.Some clean straw could be put in, the innkeeper said, and at least they would be inside, and out of the cold Joseph and Mary smiled their thanks.| They were almost too tired to say anything.- Eventually, the town grew quiet, with everyone going sound asleep after the excitement of the dav.And, Just as it was noisy before, now all was hushed.In fact.it was so quiet, you could hear vourself breathe.- Then, all of a sudden, tbe whole town seemed to come awake.All dt the same time.Right in the middle of the night.' 7\u201d LEANER THE LEADING ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE DISTRICT OF BEAUHARNOIS @ HUNTINGDON.QUE., WEDNESDAY, DEC.20th, 1961 \u201cFOR THIS WAS TH mu SHEPHERDS' MESSAGE People were running here and there, and it was hard to understand just what was going où As nearly as anyone could make out, there seemed to he something happening at the stable, back of the in.So that's where everyone rushed.And there, they met some shepherds who had come in from the halls These shepherds, in their Tong, voueh clothing and long beards, had a magnificent story to tell, While looking after their sheep on the hillside, an angel suddenly appeared in the sky.At the same time, a great light shone ont, The angel told the shepherds that in the royal city of David which was Bethlehem, a Saviour wis born.This was Christ the King, the angel said.Wondering about this tremendous message, the shepherds heard beautiful singing in the heavens: All the saints were singing at onvez Glory to God tn the highest, and on earth, peace good will toward men, And «th this heavenly choir above them.they hurried into Jethlehem to find the Christ Cloid.Inside the old stable at the hack of the inn animals were shuffling avound in their stalls, but it was there that the shepherds fonnd the baby Jesus, sleeping on some straw in a manger, Alongside him sat Mary, the Virgin Mother, eyes bright with joy because of this Holy Child.And Joseph, full of tender care, looking with love and awe at his Saviour.The heavenly voices that had hurst forth with joy till echoed over the little town, and all of the countryside.The reflection of the dazzling light the shepherds had seen was on the faces of all who were there.For this was the greatest night the world has ever known.The Messiah evervone had been looking for.and who had been promised by God, was finally here.Yes, Daniel's prediction had come true.\u201cOne, like the Son of man came with the elonds of heaven.and there was given Him dominion, and ulory, and a kingdom, that all people.nations and languages should serve Him.His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away.; GREATEST NIGHT\u201d Christmas Section The Christmas Bells (By VIOLET M.WILLIAMS) There once was a tiny chore wliel hid a big hell tower, It had 16 be a bir tower because there were three big hells inside it The people me one of the nearby villages suid thar an old witeh had given the bells Yor some kindness paid her, but the folle tu another village sand ir was a wizard who bid wiven the tiny church the œift Whether witeh or wizard, the facet remained that the belle had some magie in them somewhere us this story will show Now the tiny church fell into disuse when the two villages built new churches Yor themselves, One by one, the stones fell down until there was only the hell tower standing, with the theee hells hanging side by side at the top of it.THROUGH THE WOODS Nobody ever rang the three hells except three old men Every Christmas Day the made their wav from the village through the woods to the old bell tower; suring and Joking us they went.The hells would hear them coming and they would midge sind push cach other until they almost rang themselves, Then the ald wen would go inside, grasp the ropes and pull so hard the bells would sing out a happy Christmas song.One day near Christmas, the three bell looked ant of their tower and the biggest one spoke, \u201cSnow is falling!\" he ehnekled.That means Cheïistmas, * chortied the middle one.tinkled the smallest SNAP!

It was the old one that lay below in tiny broken pieces! The moonlight shone through the slits in the bell tower and silvered the two bigger bells, and even after the moonlight had gone, the silver staved so that all three bells were wonderful new ones, When the old man came to pull the ropes, they found handsome silver cords waiting for them, When they grasped them, the bells\u2019 song was so beautiful that it filled the whole world and evervone who heard it had the happiest Christmas of their lives.& à 9 & & & TFT & 9 & % PES or + pr AS ot er 4 er or + 2 - The Gleaner Wednesday, Dec.20th, 1961 ay 1 0 a ofthe (Uréshmas Season be with you T £4 9 À prea We greet you with a friendly note of thanks for your good will and kind patronage.JEAN-GUY BARRETTE BARBER ORMSTOWN 3 4 C4 946 à D à V à Ÿ À _ Te 4 fs x Ha happy, hearty holiday wishes to all our friends and patrons.We hope you enjoy many festive hours, and many quiet ones, too, in the gompany of your dear ae « ones.It\u2019s a pleasure to serve people like you, and we most sincerelythank you for your loyalty and good will, ZEPHYR TEXTILES LIMITED ORMSTOWN WHITE ROSE SERVICE STATION TOBIN 15 Roy St, Ormstown TF & VEE RI Merry Christmas to al} SHEFFRENS | CLOTHING STORE ORMSTOWN 4 T à 9 & 9 O.REMILLARD BARBER ORMSTOWN Moy ell the joys bad pleos- ures of the Yuletide be yours this Chriimos, MONTCALM SHOE STORE ORMSTOWN | C.H.BOLDUC FRUITS and GROCERIES ORMSTOWN & à Ÿ à à @ à D à Ÿ à Ÿ 20e Te \" \" ; Le ' ir ' _* Here is sentiment genuinely felt.May joy, health and happiness.be yours this Christmas GARAGE L.DANDURAND ENRG.Ormst@8f 35 Bridge St.reotings and good wishes for the Holiday Season VARIETIES 5c to $1.00 STORE ORMSTOWN i 4 ¥ 4 Vi y To our many friends our wishes for a Christmas that 1 will be rich in joy 7 a -l MISS I BEAUCHAMP | May you share abundan:ly in the many joys of Christmas!

\u2018inventions.Its | origin is disputed but many [in it back to Martin Luther in Germany.Luther, the father of Protestantism, is said to have walked in a forest one wintry night when be became entranced by a small fir tree glistening with snow under the stars.To put a gleam in his childrens\u2019 eyes, he decided to chon down the little fir, decorate it with burning candles, and place it in their nursery.Others trace it back to St Winfrid.While preaching Christianity to the Druids, he hewed down a giant oak, which they worshipped, before their eyes.The oak tumbled to earth.crushing everything in its path \u2014everything but a small fir tree.St.Winfrid told the shocked Druids the fir was the Tree of Christ.Burning The Yule Log The Scandinavians kindled large bonfires in honor of Thor during the winter feast of Juul The ancient Goths and Saxons also celebrated winter with a festival called Jul.The tree used was likely the Rowan, belived to be owned by the \u201clight\u201d elves.The people thought crosses made from its wood or sprays of its leaves hung in the rafters would prevent evil spirits from invading their homes during Christmas.During feudal times.in Europe, men hauled huge logs into the lord's hall and as they hewed the log.or \u201cclog\u201d.the men chanted cheery yule songs We still refer to Christmas as the Yuletide Season, and although the pagan ritual of burning the yule log has been lost, many English families still gather around the embers of the crackling yule log in the fireplace.Christmas Cards Long ago in England it was the custom for people to poke their heads out their windows cn Christmas morning and shout \u201cMerry Christmas\u201d to all the'r friends below.Those who disliked stickine their heads out into the cold winter air satisfied themselves with a substitute, Instead of shouting to their friends.they wrote Christmas greetings on letters.as they wrote notes of congratulations on other reli- glous days.The first Christmas card was engraved by a 18-vear-old printer's apprentice about 115 years ago.William Maw Egley engraved a card showing scenes of a party dance, skaters and a banquet.In 1848.an artist found unexpected notoriety because of a Christmas card.It showed a family toasting Christmas with glasses of wine, and a storm of protest swept the nation from temperance crusaders.Sir Henry Cole, who requested artist J.C.Horsly to draw un the card for him, sent 1,000 of the greetings to his friends\u2014 but never sent another.Mince Pie The Christmas pie played a delicious part in the Yuletide festivities of early England People believed anyone who refused to eat mince pie would be unlucky for the coming year.English legend tells us there really was a Little Jack Horner of nursery rhyme fame, who really did sit \u201cin his corner eating his Christmas pie.\u201d He was a servant of the Abbot of Glastonbury.The Abbot sent Jack to London with a Christmas pie to please Henry VIII.The pie was filled with more than plums\u2014it contained title deeds to 12 large English manors, It proved all too tempting to messenger Jack.Before de delivered the pie he stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum \u2014the deed to the Manor of Mells\u2014and kept it for himself.A family named Horner does occupy Mells today, but it dis- rlaims descendency from Jack.Santa\u2019s Hectic History Some people believe Santa Claus Is a corruption of the Latin \u201cSantus Nicolaus.\u201d who was a charitable Bishop of Myra in Asia Minor 16 centuries ago.In legend he became Saint Nicholas during the fourth century, patron saint of children.Tales of his kindness on Christmas spread through Russia.Bcandinavia, Holland, Belgium and Germany.In Scotiand during the Middle Ages he took human form as The \u2018Abbot of Unreason-man elected to direct the Christmas festivities from Christmas to January 6.The English stole the tradition but re-named him King of the Bean.The French knew nim as Boy Bishop.Saint Nicholas was again renamed in the 15th century by Martin Luther.Luther changed Saint Nicholas to Christkind- -lein, which means Christ Child.Colonialists headed by William Penn in Pennsylvania changed this name to the simplified Kris Kringle.Not to be undone in name changing, the Dutch decided to call him Santa Claus.Then in 1822 Santa underwent a personality change as well.Previously pictured as a benevolent bishop, a poem written by Dr.Clement C.Moore, an American minister, in 1822 gave him the image of the big-bel- lied, rosy cheeked and white bearded gift-giver that we know today.Christmas Carols Are Handed Down Through Years I wonder (writes Walter G.| Hartland) if you will sing \u201cAdest tempus floridum\u201d this Christmas.Most of us know this very familiar tune better as \u2018Good King Wenceslas\u201d, All the same, \u201cAdest tempus flori- dum\u201d, which means \u201cNow the time of flowers is here\u201d.is the name of the original melody, which composed more than 350 years ago, was given its present words by a clergyman in the nineteenth century.You may remark that \u201cNow the time of flowers is here\u201d Toes not sound very Christmasy.True, for this carol was not a Christmas carol at all, but a hymn to the Spring.Most of our carols, in fact, had a nonreligious origin.Even the words we now sing to \u2018Good King Wenceslas\u201d really refer to St.Stephen's day, Dec.26th.Who, anyway.was King Wenceslas?He is the patron saint of Bohemia.Bohemia, which became part of the independent Czechoslovak state after the Great War.was under the sway of the Holy Roman Empire in the tenth century.Wenceslas, who became the reigning duke of Prague in 925, was brought up as à Christian by his grandmother, and he founded many churches in his dukedom.But his attempt to convert his subjects to Christianity led to his assassination four years later by his younger brother.Boleslav.Printed in 1521 We might never have discovered many of the dder carols, but for the broadsheets on which they were crudely printed, and hawked round the country by wandering singers and minstrels.And the words of a great number of carols were Unknown until the year 1850, when a valuable old book, ! now in the library of Balliol! College, Oxford.was found be- | hind a bookcase.This book was the private memorandum of Richard Hill, a London grocer, who, between the years 1500 and 1538, noted down tables of weights, dates of fairs, musical prescriptions, cookery recipes.dates of his children's births, riddles, puzzles, and poems in English, French and Latin.items on how to break in horses, and a number of carols.\u201cThe Boar's Head Carol,\u201d the oldest printed Christmas carol we have (Wynkyn de Worde, an! apprentice of Caxton, printed | it in 1521), is still sung annually at Queen's College Oxford, as the boar\u2019s head is, carrie into the Hall on Christmas Day.Written for Daughter | It was a drunken poet laure- ate in the time of Dryden, who wrote \u201cWhile Watched Their Flocks by Night.\u201d \u201cChristians Awake, Salute the Happy Morn,\u201d is the work of John Wainwright, who was organist of the Manchester Collegiate Church until his death in 1768, He wote it for his little daughter, Dolly.who found it on her breakfast plate on pe Christmas morning of 1745.Charles Wesley, younger brother of John Wesley, the famous eighteenth century evangelist, was a great com- noser of hymns and carols.He wrote over a thousands of them, and the one which is most popular during the Christmas season is \u201cHark, the Herald Angels Sing.\u201d This was an early work of the man who, by encouraging his fellow students of Oxford to \u201cobserve the method of study prescribed by the statutes of the university,\u201d introduced the Methodist creed which his elder brother carried far and wide.; Did you known that a very popular hymn was written by Dean Farrar, the author of \u201cErie, or Little by Little.\u201d During the period that Dean Farrar was headmaster at Harrow he wrote \u201cIn the Fields With Their Flocks Abiding\u201d for the boys.\u201cO Come, All Ye Faithful\u201d emanates from the Oxford religious movement of the middle of the last century.but its Latin original.\u201cAdeste Fideles.\u201d is of much older date.And \u201cO Little Town of Bethlehem\u201d was actually written by Phillips Brooks in Bethlehem on Christmas Day, 1866.That picturesque figure in the world of Victorian poetry.Christina Rossetti wrote one of the loveliest of Christmas hvmns \u201cLove Came Down at Christmas.\u201d Christmas Will Live Cecil F,1rcis Alexander, wife of William Alexander, the Irish divine, produced a great number of hymns.She wrote \u201cOnce in Royal David's City\u201d for her children over eighty years ago.This carol appeared in a book of hymns and carols for children which ran into a hundred editions.The American contribution to this type of music is comparatively recent because the Pilgrim Fathers, holding the Puritan view of the observance of Christmas, natur@lly took no carols to the New World.But carols are now sung in Ameri~= as much as they are in Ene- land.\u201cIt Came Upon the Midnight Clear\u201d is an American carol: so is \u201cWe Three Kings of Orient Are,\u201d which was com- pdsed by the Rev.Dr.J.H.Christmas In Sweden In modern Sweden many ancient customs and traditions are cherished, but no festival is more lovingly celebrated than Christmas.Old and young look forward to it with equal eagerness, for Christmas is above all a family holiday, an occasion for gathering around the home hearth and for sharing hospitality.The high point of the holidays comes not on Christmas Day, but on Christmas Eve, Julafton, the 24th of December.Although not a holiday on the calendar, it is almost regarded as one.By lunch time the streets seem to become emptier, as everybody hastens to his home and the family midday meal.When this meal is over, dusk is beginning to fall and frequently the soft, longed-for Christmas snow is falling in gentle flakes outside.The dinner is an intimate and close family gathering and the menu, which has been the same for generations, is served in almost every home in Sweden, from north to south.It is usually prefaced by a smorgasbord, with which the ice cold snaps, Akvavit, is drunk in small glasses.Then comes the fish course consisting of lutfisk, which is suncured cod, cunningly prepared and served with a cream sauce.This may be followed by a rosy Christmas ham and the meal is to off with a white, steaming rice pudding or porridge.Somewhere in its midst is hidden an almond and tradition wants you to believe that the person who finds it will marry efore the next year is up.Nothing is said about those who are already married.The after dinner coffee is served followed by almonds, other nuts, candy and raisins in the living room, close to the Christmas tree, At last the important moment arrives, when the flickering white candles on the green branches are lighted and all electric illumination in the room is turned off.A rare and wonderful peace descends, as everyone quietly contemplates the haloed flames: the Christmas spinit has silently stolen into homes and hearts.But the children will not stay still for long: they have cast excited glances at the stack of presents at the foot of the tree and they want to know what they contain.The distribution of the gifts begins and, if there are small children in the family, an older male member usually puts on the familiar red blouse and trousers and the flowing white beard of Jultomten, as Santa Claus is knqwn in Sweden.He knocks on the door and, after having been admitted with a sackful of gifts on his back, he distributes the presents to the little ones\u2014\u201cif they have been good children throughout the year,\u201d which, miraculously, always seems to be the case.In the cltles as well as in the country Christmas Eve, Jul- afton, is the high point of the holidays.Christmas Day, for centuries has been mostly a day of rest and religious observance.The main church event is the pre-dawn service, observed all over Sweden, in cities as well as in the rural districts.In the country, faithful to age-old tra- ditlon, the Swedes delight to drive to church in sleighs whenever possible and, since the night is still black, the churchgoers in some ts light their way through the snowy, silent forests with flaring torches.Puritans Outlawed Yule As Frivolous The Puritan government of England outlawed Christmas in 1643.With the restoration of the Stuarts Christmas customs and traditions were revived, but Christmas never regained its former prestige in England.It is observed religiously in the churches and as a day for family reunions and social gatherings, in contrast to the 1avish feasting and boisterous merry-making of olden time.Shepherds, 185 Merry-making and gift-giving Hopkins, of Williamsport, in 7.Neither war nor the secular religions of the dictator states
