THE STAR WE FOLLOW
News these days, whether reaching us through the daily
paper or via the airwaves, seems to consist of one calamity
after another -- more deaths in Ireland, more repression in
South Africa; more examples of injustice and man's inhumanity
to man. When we reflect on all, this woe, it is easy to despair of
both individuals and society. But not at Christmas.

unselfish and tender too, and the heartening message of this
season is that we can trust these qualities. We are as capable
of love as of hate, of idealism as of cynicism, and on them the
world makes its slow but not always insubstantial gains. Deepair
always fetters; it is love that inspires.

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
From The
Lucknow
BY REV. IL G. NICHOLLS, SECRETARY
Christmas finds its fullest expression in the celebration of
the cornitfr-of-Jesus:-Sometimes we-become-so_concerned_almt
sending greeting cards, buying, gifts• planning family re-unions
and the Christmas feast that we forget that Christ stands at ~ the
heart of Christmas. Of cota-se, the renewal of relationships;• the
spirit of giving and the goodwill of the season are a natural res-
' • ponse to the love given at Christmas, but unless we ,find its,
'basis in the love made real in Jesus, we miss the true meaning
..of Christmas.
Our cause for rejoicing in the Christmas /season comes
because we discOver the fulness of God's' love made real in the
flesh of a Man. N„ow 'we know that God is not distant or aloof
• from us. Now we know that be is with us in our huma,n history,
. bound up in our jOys and sorrows, our hopes and fears, our
gtrengths and weaknesses. I3ut his presence, makes a difference
to our lives. Ile is with us in love in love wiu accepts its
' as we are in the midst of our sin and weakness; 'in love which
lifts us out of, ourselves into a new life which 'is able to meet
and conquer Whatever comes to us; — in love which gives 'us
• the spirit and the power to, overcome evil and to bring love .and
peace and joy to all life. Because be loved, we loVe, and, in lov-
ing, we bring life to others and find new life •in ourselves: This
• is what Christmas is all about And Allis is why we take this
• opportunity to wish for all of you the peace and, joy and love
Which finds its source in Jesus Christ our Lord.
