ST. MARTIN'S PARISH Terrace Bay, Ontario Christmas comes to us again--this time to a town and an industry which has blossomed, in three short years, from the rugged vastness of the North Shore, This was accomplished because men worked according to a plan, and, in harmony pooled their resourcefulness, toward a definite end. The result was gainful emp'oyment, and prosperity, which is'always the fruit of peace. Peace means order, and contentment, it means happiness and security--peace is the message of Christmas, which is the birthday of Christianity. The building and the prospering of our town, in so short a time has been as the realizing of a mighty dream, brought into being by intelligence and work on the part of so many. The continuetion of these happy conditions is in large measure, our responsibility, and well within our power, by making the Christ-like spirit of Christmas our guide in our relations with our fellow-men. Rev. Father James Delaney, Parish Priest, a EY RR Se te neta eeepc: ed TERRACE BAY COMMUNITY CHURCH Terrace Bay, Ontario Dear Friends, Once again the atmosphere is vibrant with the Christmas spirit and we extend to you our hearties and sincerest wish that this Christmas may be the most blessed one you have ever spent.
