CHRISTMAS GREETING!
May this and all your Chrlstmases
be bright with friends and love
and kindness and cheer. May they
be as many as God wills and may
their fragrance last the year round
and forever!

The Christmas Morning Service
at the Village Church will be at 11,

Interim pastor, conducting the serv-
ice. The Choir will render the

and "Holy Night" (Brahms). There
will be no session of the Church
School.
WHITE GIFT SUNDAY
White Gift Sunday was observed
last Sunday, as children of the
Church School and adult church at
tendants brought toys and gifts
wrapped In white. A fine collection
of these resulted and was taken to
the Cape Cod Hospital.
PERSONALS
Mrs. Elsie Taylor and Miss Ger-
aldlne Whltford have gone to Hart-
ford, Connecticut to visit their sis-
ter, Mrs. Charles W. Sinclair, and
family.
LADIES' CIRCLE
The Ladles' Circle Wednesday
afternoon ln the Ayllng Room at
the Church, Miss Annls Sturgls,
president. The monthly meeting of
the Circle was devoted to discus-
sion ot plans for the future and Its
present employment. There was
the usual attendance and the en-
couragement of two new members.
Mrs. Grace Bearse was hostess.
LAST SUNDAY'S SERMON
Last Sunday, Mr. Meth's text
was taken from Isaiah 30:15: "In
returning and rest ye shall be
saved" and his subject , "What
would Isaiah's message of prophesy
be to the Christian Church of New
England, If he were to speak to-
day?" Mr. Meth said that If there
seemed to be a decline In religion,
the- reason might be sought from
three sources—modern invention ,
as the radio, television, motoring,
etc., in which we become absorbed;
a lack ot devotion to our churches
and their Interests; and a cultural
shift In the times, In which we de-
vote more attention to the social
side of life and its activities. He
said. "The basic needs of the peo-
ple cannot be met outside the
church itself. "
CHRISTMAS PARTY
Last Saturday evening a Christ-
mas party for the village children
was held In the Church vestry un-
der the auspices of the Village
Church School and the Centerville
Athletic Association. It was enjoyed
by about 160 parents and children.
All took part In carol singing, then
received a visit from Santa Claus,
watched the movies, which were
shown, and partook together of the
refreshments that were served.
The Christmas lighting continues
to Increase and grow more beauti-
ful. The Thomases have their porch
hung with lights and have a Christ-
mas Star. The Mundas, on Pine
St., have elaborate and beautiful
house decorations, with a Star and
Christmas Tree. The Maddalena
Apartments are lovely and the Dot-
tridge lights are often mentioned.
Also the Goddards are here this
year and have their house flood-
lighted, with candles ln all the
windows. And the Star shines
again from the Church facade, that
we may remember the Star that
shone ln the Eastern skies almost
2000 years ago. We wish that all
who show a public and devotional
spirit In this way could be men-
tioned , as some sort of recognition
and that you might take the oppor-
tunity to see them.
Among the many legends and cus-
toms that have grown up around
Christmas during the years, what
Is more appealing than the Euro-
pean way of always putting at least
one little candle ln the window
the door, that perchance the littl e
Christ Child may find His way in
to warmth and shelter from the
cold.
CUBS COLLECT

Eighteen Cubs Sssembled at Mr.
Frank Horgan's last Thursday eve-

cards for the boys and let them
