,_5A.DNEISS MIXEID WITH JOY. .._ The strange mixture of sad - less and joy which character- ,jzes the Church’s liturgy during the Advent season is a healthy 'rexninder to Christians that hu- . ’man existence on earth is a par- “ 'adoxical thing, an incomplete

" ‘thing — something whose f 111 -

florid. The liturgy, accordingly, 7 full of the echoes of the = Imp-aw prophets telling of the Saviour Whom God has promis- " ,edlr The note of sadness and a longing is pronounced, but the note of joy, while fainter is iyumnistaka‘ble; ‘the Saviour is , coming; God has promised to send Him, and God is true to 1 His word. The Advent note of sadness is l» a reminder of the fact of sin.

flndced, to the Christian, sin is

wtlie only great evil in the world . and the source of all other evils. ' At the same time the undercur- rent of joy which runs through the Advent liturgy foretells the .pnltiniate defeat of that sin. Life isaad because of sin; but the

merely in this world but in the meaner aspects of material crea— tion.‘

TRUE VIEWPOINT

In opposition, then, to the rash optimism of the romantics and the despair of the material- ists—both of which err in pre- senting only a partial and dis- torted view of the world — the Christian philosophy provides a point of view from which one can take a truly comprehen- sive look- at life. In its light ap- parent contradictions are resol — ved. Inspired by truth, it need turn away from no particular truth, however unpleasant. It can look evil in the face without despair and even without fear. It can be optimistic —— far be? yond the Utopian dreams of the romantics — but never offers that optimism as easy or with- out struggle. ' Listen, then, to the message which the liturgy expresses so dramatically to us on the Third Sunday of Advent. Gaudete is the key word‘— Rejoice. It is still Advent, still the season of solemnity an sadness. But the fact of sin is being challeng- ed by the greater fact of Re- demption. The Saviour, long promised by God to His faithful people, is already approaching. “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I slay,«rejoice.”

MONCTON,—Canadian National Express, like Santa Claus, is well- pre-parred for deliveries at Christ- mlas. But though the company feels. proud of its record of de- liveries in past years, it readily concedes that old St. Nick is the original transportation genius when it comes to dropping pack- ages at your door or down your chimney.

"Only Santa can make all those deliveries in one night," says Neil McLellan, superintendent, CN Ex- press, Atlantic region. “We need Just a little more time."

. As far as the express company is concerned, the Christmas rus‘: started back in the second week of November when shipments of food and other perishables began streaming to traditional markets. “We handled up to 40,000 Christ- mas parcels daily when the rush was in full swing Last year.” said Mr. McLellan. “And, of course, turkey is our biggest Christmas food shipment, although fish holds its own. Shipments of fish-

NS Aims 100,000 Turkeys In 1959

KENTVILLE, N. S.. — (CP) — Nova Scotla producers are aiming to market 100,000 turk- eys next year, president George Wade of the Provincial Turkey Produch Association said here Friday. 0 Mr. Wade owns one of the province's biggest turkey farms here. He said 80,000 Nova Scotia-raised turkeys were mar- keted this year. About 100,000 more were imported, mostly from Ontario.

The boost in production means the province is meeting com~ petition “with considerable suc- cess," he said.

CNR's express superintenderr for the Atlantic region also had a few words for parcel wrappers.

"Although Santa‘s genius ex- tends to knowing by heart for whom each gift is intended, ex. press companies require legible, securely fixed labels so they won’t have to resort to guess- work.” 7 SIIOP EARLY

In making deliveries. Cana- dian National goes a step farther than Santa by remaining on the job Throughout Christmas Day. According to Mr. McLellan, de- livery ol' Chrismas parcels is maintained throughout the fes- tive season, Christmas Day in- cluded, to ensure delivery of gifts sent by last minute shippers.

Nor should shipper wait till the last minute to send off their gifts he said.
