There is no United Churcn and no missionaries in this cou ntry where th e popula- tion is 75 percent Roman Cath- olic. Our main concerns in Mexico today are: (1) to improve stand- ard of liv4ng in rural areas. A mis6±onary agriculture centre has been started where boys are trained in the use of mod- It doesn't take much imagination to suggest that these two children are staring wide-eyed at the Christmas tree which has just been erected in the living-room. On the left is one-year-old Randy Hayes whose birthday was Dec. 6th. This will be his f irst big Christmas. His brother IGary xvas five years old on Dec. l5th. They are sons of 'Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Hayes, 156 Base Line. No doubt their adoring grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Allun, 80 Duke St. and Mr. and Mrs. Lew Haves, Carlisle Ave, are busy right now wrapping up beautiful gifts for the great 1 day next Thursday. These two are really going to be lucky because they also have a great grandmother, Mrs. Nathan Hayes, also of Carlisle Avenue.

'Most ail the time, the whoie year round, there ain't no flies on me, But jest 'fore Christmas I'm as good as I kin be. Got a yeller dog named Sport, sick hlm on t.he cat; First thing she knows she doesn't know where she is at! Got a cipper sled, an' when us kids goes out to siide, 'Long comes the groceny cart, an' we ail hook a ride!

(2) Health- the mortality rate is still high. Lack of doctons and nurses and jItao few haspitals hamper their efforts. The eradication of tro- pical diseases is given prianity. (3) Education and iiteracy - educalion holds high place !in iMexico but nat enough schools makes it impassible for ail to be educated. The school systen- is either under state or federal contrai and is weli admninister- ed. A ban has kept religious corporations from operating 1schools, but it is hoped this ban will soon be dropped. The chiEf concemn of W.M.S is evangeiism. Less than 2 per- 1cent of population is Protestant. Protestant churches are harn- pered by lack af trained work- ers and a comprehensive pro- gram ta carry gospel toa al graups. Christian literature is nat pientiful. With religiaus training now being given ta boys attending the Agriculture Centre it is hoped that they in turn xiii spread the gospel in thein own areas. A loveiY Christmas Worship' service xvas prepared by Mr-s. j E. Snowden. Mns. R. Muir nead the Christmas Story from St. Luke's gospel. Mrs. M. Osborne, Mrs. A. Metcalf and Mrs. H. Down favoured with a beauti - cammentary Mrs. Snowden said the eyes of the world are once mare turned ta the littie town of Bethlehem where the world's greatest love story was born. Out of Christ's love has grown a new revenence for waman- hood, a new care for childhoaýi and a niew cancern fan the home. As church members let us plan with aur familles ta make like one in spite of ail the worldliness around us. As ail , of us tejoice once again in tim jay and gladness of Bethlehemn May the spirit of Christ be barn in us anew teaching aur love ta remember, aur anger ta forgive 'and our unkindness ta farget. May it spread good-will abroadl so that hard heants mav ho softened, fears max' be lessencd and hopes l:tted. Mav the jo-v o!
