The answer is. ai course, the Cburch. Last week, after the hovely services ai Sunday viere ovor, we sorted and packed the white gifts, and sent them off ta other parts ai the churcb.

And there the families viho are out ai luck, or just can't manage, go, ta get same help. The Gospel is preacbed in an old-fasbioned way, and social workers hold up their hands sometimes at the inefficient way charity seems ta be dis- pensed. I like the neyer way myscîf, where trained workers witb filing cards and index minds, bandle cbarity and hu- man needs scientificalhy and see that nothing is wasted bhut an overbead. But there's a place or two still leit for the ald- fasbioned way, in persanally dispensing Christmas cheer and year-raund belp. Sa someofa aur gifts go there. Some more go on up the way ta another kînd ai mission, vihere girls from homes wbich are goad. and bornes whicb are flot so good, have stumhled io- ta an age-old errar, and in their tragedy and fcars, find a friend- Iy biding-place for a few mantbs, until they are able ta face the world again, o.lder, xviser; and aiten botter girls than they viere before. Here it is ail beautiful, madern, scien- tific, and the strictest social service worker appraves. At the first mission the of- fender goos back over and aver again, every time they get out ai jail or drift back ino the city, the doors are stilopen.

In my Christmas mail there came a letter from a callege classmate, ordaioed 14 years aga. "In the past year 1 bavse receîved more members, on pro- fession ai their iaitb and hap- tized mare babies than in al the previous years." He hadn't been called ta a great city churcb. But ho had leit a nice village congregatian ta start new work in a city's sprawling suhurb. and an a vacant f ieýd this year they put up a churcb which b v Christmas wvas i.nade- quate even for the multiple services hehd eacb Sunday. I'twas fortunate hast year ta cross the continent from east ta west by mator car, and ta visit severai countries and some ai their ministers and churches in Cuba, Jamaica and Puerto Rica. You cannat lbave the Cburch behind. 1 Wherever you go, the church is thore. And vihether At vas the little white churches which jump off the Christmas cards ta meet you arnang the maples and hirches ai the St. John's Valley, or the Lutheran Churches o!

If vie look back at 1954, -we yull have ta acknowledge tlîat. If vie look at 1955 as it ap- proaches, vie vilhl have ta do something about it.

Deceptive Demands By Joseph Lister Rutledge Wben a burden becomes toa great something must give way. It is true ai human beiîîgs. It is true of industry. It may ho possible ta sec a semiblance ai 'justification forte worker's contintuing demand for a larger slîare ai increased values that result from the work ai bis bands. It is not possible, or 50 it appears ta us, ta sec a similar justification for paying anyooe for work lie does not do. Yet that, in essence. is what the guaranteed annuai wage sug- gests, for a guarantee becomos1 oporative only when samething g.ves way. Payment thon is ask- ed for doing notbing. In essence it is an impossibility. No values are produced or increased with- out the expenditure ai effort. Thereforo ta pay for unemploy- ed time simply means that pay- ment musit be stolen from the production ai the employed tinie. Ultimately the man who works Must provide for the man who doesn't work and contrib- utes nothing. Of course that isn't ta say that iA could not be tried or migbt not, for a time, appear ta be successful.

Therefore the only time wben industry wiIl nat find om- ploynîent for its owvn workors is \vhen that becomes econom- ically impossible.
