CASTLEGAR NEWS, Ti saay, December 21, ag

Christmas Eve Song

It's Christmas Eve. The earth is still,
Shepherds rest on quiet hill.
Sheep press close against the chill.
And all creation waits,

Instable dim a Virgin waits,
Her unborn life, anticipates,
Cows lie still within the gates,
And all creation hopes.

The Child is born, The angels sing.
Shepherds rush to Bethlehem
To sve the promised new-born King,

Born in pain to die in pain,
That I might die to live again,
Abundant life now mine to gain.
Let all creation praise!
— Linda C. Hall

With Rev. TED BRISTOW

And all creation lauds!
aay
: al

. lwonder how many chil-
gren have been Mary or Joseph
in some Christmas pageant this
year. I wonder how many angel
...gastumes moms have had to
make, or how many youngsters
are struggling to learn the
lines, “Unto you is born this day
in the city of David..."

I never get tired of seeing
children act out the Christmas
story.

Yet you and I'are acting
out the Christmas story every
day of our lives, We, too, are
actors in a Christmas pageant.

Take the inn-keeper. He

was a common-sense business:
man. When Mary and Joseph
+ came late asking for a room, he
5 was not unkind to them. He
{ offered them his barn.
: Of course, he could have
: asked some of his guests to
: double up, or he could have
+ Offered them his own room. But
, Pou've got to be careful not to
+ get carried away by charity,
{ you know. When someone
needs your help, by all means
} doa little something for them,
but let's not over-do it.

And bevause the inn-keep-
{ ef was so sensible, so reason-
: able, he turned away Christ
i from his door, and didn’t even
+ know it. Are you ever the inn.
+ keeper in the’ Christmas pag-
2 eant of life? Am I?

Then there were the shep-
‘ herds, They were hard-work-
} ing, honest men. They were
{ probably too busy to go to
} church every Sabbath — after
{ all, ranching is a seven-day-a-
{week occupation. And yet, they
< were, in their own way, deeply
i religious men who sensed that
teed was not satisfied with the
: way the world was going, and
lieved that some day God
: Himself would come and change
he world for the better.
They were ready to hear
ingels si Because their
inds and hearts were not
closed to spiritual realiti
; they listened to the angels’

} message. And because they
* believed not only with their
¢ heads but with their hearts,
: they did something about it.

‘hey went to Bethlehem, wor-

hipped the child, told their

riends and neighbors about it,
¢and gave thanks to God.
+ The shepherds represent
+ those whose religion is sincere.
i++ Then there were the Wise
{ Men. They were seekers after
ithe truth, and were willing to
: {travel to the ends of the earth
ito find the truth.

If you're a secker, may y you

: the led to the One Who said, “
eam the Truth.”
{We can't forget Herod.
We'd like to, but we can't. He
qhad many babies killed in an
faltempt to protect his own
epride and power. There are still
.
speople like that, who destroy
Swhatev er or whoever stands in
tthe way of their personal ambi-
stions,
+ The townspeople of Bethle-
them were told about what had

?

happened. Some of them prob-
ably shrugged it off. Some of
them found it an interesting
topic of conversation for a few
days. And some of them quietly
found their way to the stable to
see for themselves, and to see if
they could do something for the
new, young mother and child.
Any town has a similar cross-
section ‘of people.

The angels? .They were
those whose very life sings,
whose very personality shines,
whose very purpose is to bring
glory to God. Occasionally, I
have met those who, in this life,
are the angels of God. So, I'm
sure, have you.

Finally, there were Mary

and Joseph. A Child was born
inte their care, and they loved
that Child, protected Him,
eared for Him in every way
they could.

A Child is born to us, every
time life brings us a new re-
sponsibility. Will we welcome
and love our God-given respon-
sibility? If so, we can be Mary
and Joseph in the Christmas
pageant of life.

The whole story centres
around the Child Himself. Will
we make room for Jesus, wor-
ship Him, sve Him a place in
our lives? Or will we turn Him
away?

Which actor will we be in
the Christmas pageant of life?

Don’t Bring Disaster to Your
Dinner Table This Christmas

Health Unit Release
The festive Christmas sea-

son will soon be here. With it,

come the parties, the banquets
and the family Christmas din-
ners of turkey and all the
trimmings.

We will soon be sitting
down with our families, friends,
and .guests to. enjoy many
delicious meals that are cooked
to perfection and contain all our
favorite foods. However, you
could invite disaster to your
dinner table by improperly
handling and cooking foods.

Every year, a number of
people suffer from food poison-
ing and have their Christmas
holidays spoiled. The discom-
fort and misery associated with
food poisoning can easily be
avoided by following proper
food-handling techniques. The
rules are simple and are as
follows:

lL Keep your uncooked tur-
key in the refrigerator or
freezer until ready to prepare.

2. Thaw your frozen turkey
either in the refrigerator, allow-
ing about four-to-five hours per
pound, or thaw your turkey
under cold running water allow-
ing one hour per pound. Foods
that are thawed on the counter
at room Lemperature spoil very
quickly,

3. Prepare and stuff your
turkey the day it is to be
roasted. Dressing prepared a-
head of time could cause prob-
lems.

4. Ensure that your turkey is
properly cooked by using a
meat thermometer to check
that the center of the bird has
reached 165° F. before remov-
ing it from the oven. Place the
thermometer in the heavy part
of the thigh muscle away from
the bone. If no thermometer is

available, the turkey should be
tested by moving the drumstick
up and down. It should move
easily in the hip socket and the
drumstick should feel soft when
pressed.

5. After roasting, store your
turkey in the oven at 150° F.
until served. This prevents the

growth of food poisoning: or- ::

ganisms.

6. Immediately after serving
the turkey, remove the re-
maining stuffing and cut the
rest of the carcass up into
several smaller pieces, wrap
them up, and place in the re-
frigerator as quickly as pos-
sible.

Turkey is a good source of
protein and iron and is easily
digested, so prepare it safely
and enjoy it.
