CROWDED OUT AT CHRISTMAS

The old janitor sighed as he surveyed
the scene on the main floor of the big de-
‘partment store. All was silent now at lost,

; . for this was the day after Christmas, The

crowds had come and now had gone each to
his own way, dnd the littered floor bore the
evidence of their annual Christmas shopping
spree, It would take some time to get it back
to some resemblance of order after the Christ-
mas rush,

Presently the old man’s eyes focused on
something in a dim corner and felt strangely
atfracted to it. It was ‘a manger setting con-
structed of wood. and paper, artisically de-
signed to bring out the message of the first
Christmas when Christ descended from Hea-
ven to become the Babe of Bethlehem, But
it now lay Jed ina
corner. Strongly moved, the old man with
tear-dimmed eyes viewed ‘the remains. “Too
bad, too bad. No room for. you in this store.
You were only in the customers way,” he said.

Such was the attitude of the innkeeper.

when he replied to the weary couple, “Na

toom ih the inn.” This scene, is duplicated
over and over every Christmas. With the ap-
ptoach of Christmas, some note it only as a
day upon the calendar, how few come with
repentance and faith, (Acts 20:21) so that
the da and d ration

Smith's Plumbing Low Bid:

Of Conversion

‘Smith's Plumbing and Heat-
ing Ltd, was. successful bidder
to install a.gas heater in the
Public Worlss garage and to.con-
vert the ofl furnace heating sy-
stem In the Village Office to gas,
tying it in with the gas furnace
in the Fue Hall,

to change the life pti the “old to the new”
through the new creation in the Christ of
Christmas, (2 Cor, 5:17).

On the “religious side” it is hardly any

: better, The lips may move with the music of

the carols but the heart knows nothing of the
song of the redeemed’ (Rev. 1:5,6). There
may. be. the. going to church because it is
fashionable and respectable ‘to do. But
few and far between are those who go. be-

.yond the church to the great Head thereof

to give the -praise, worship the glory unto
Himself alone, tragic but true, all too often
Christ is crowded out of Christmas.

The truth must touch and transform so|
that like the wise men of the First Christmas,
the coming of Christ into the heart through
faith ina Personal Saviour, changes all-things
into “another way”: (Matt. 2:12)

“Oh, Come, All Ye Faithful

Shining in the east, beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light ,
And so it continued both day and night.
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Then entered in the wise men three,
Full reverently upon their eae
And offered there in His prese

Then let us all with.one accord

That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
And with His blood mankind hath bought.
