: people compete
"_, int the oil business

Did you know there are-more than
10,000 people engaged in the search
for oil in Canada? We know it, :
because we run into plenty of them
each time we try to lease promising
oil lands.

Did you know there are hundreds of
skilled chemists and engineers in
Canada's 42 refineries? We know it,
because our own technical people
have to work hard to stay ahead

of the others in producing better
products at lower cost.

‘Did you know Canada’s oil companies |

semploy thousands of salesmen to
market their products? We know it,
because every. day our own sales itp
people are competing with salesmen
from other companies.

wage vigorous competition. The
result is increased efficiency, and

WEEKLY MESSAGE FROM

“THE CASTLEGAR MINISTERIAL

ASSOCIATION
By W. T. McFerran

cs

Kinnaird Presbyterian Church

Christmas is the’most loved
of all festivals of the Church.
Somehow we all feel that a
fresh spirit ofwunderstanding and
sympathy:.and brotherhood ani
love is abroad in the world,

Another fact is sadly true
also of Christmas. At no other
time of the year is commercial-
ism so rampant and insistent
and Santa Claus is substituted
for Christ.

Some years ago the dust en-
crusted walls of the mosque of
St. Sophia were being cleancd,
after removing the accumulation
of centuries, the workmen were
startled and amazed to see, slow-
ly emerging, the face of Christ.
That Mohammedan Temple was
once a Christian Cathedral, The
face and figure of the, Saviour
had been so encrusted with dust
that they did not know it was
there. Something like this is in

‘|danger of happening to, our ob-

servance of Christmas. Other
things, alien: to its meaning and
spirit, have come into itsobser-
vance until the Divine Image
has been lost sight of.

With this thought in mind
we are to ask “What

God's‘love .In every pagan faith
of which we know, even in the
Old Testament, man was seeking
God, “trying so often vainly to
find Him. When Christ was born
God was revealed, not as one
whom'men were seeking but one
who was seeking man; all life
took on a new meaning with the
birth: of Jesus, His birth marked

‘the‘dawning of a better day for

man,

to me:{hat we are immortal. This}

Minto Chapter

After the regular meeting of

Tuesday, a turkey banquet was

But let us not forget there could

Jesus Christ into our world of
need is.the most powerful evid-
ence of our immortality.

WHAT DOES CHRISTMAS
MEAN TO ME? It means, not on-
ly that He came to a world in
need, but, also, He came to me
personally, There was no room
for.-him in the Inn then. The
tragedy, is that he finds no room
in so many hearts and homes to
which He comes now. Could there
be any “more reasonable and ap-
