"Peace an earth goodWill towards men."
What joyous song the angels sang nearly 200 years ago when
OW Christ was born! We are about to celebrate that event on Dec,
25, What does it mean to up today? Is there going to be peace and
,toy in ow hearts as the chimes ring out and the event is chronicled in
story and song? Will we, too, come to the manger to worship and
bring our gifts as did the wisemen?
Or, once Christmas is over will we forget about it for another
year?
As Lucy sits here thinking about all the trouble and strife in the
world-our own fair land is no exception--she cannot help but feel a
sense of sadness and depression. Perhaps it is due to an East wind.
rain. But just consider so-called Christians slaughtering Christians in
Northern Ireland where the IRA is making the most of fomenting a
religious war between the Roman Catholics and Protestants-not to
unite Ireland as they claim, but to overthrow all established
government, both in the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland where
Great Britain is trying to protect the citizens (the Roman Catholic
minority and the Protestant majority). And under the guise of
union, the IRA would make this beautiful land a veritable police
state under their jurisdiction,
Lucy is of Irish extraction. The Irishman makes up a "cause" and
he becomes carried away with it, beyond all rhyme of reason in
many instances. Well she knows how innocent persons suffer, as in
the Easter Rebellion in 1916.
When she visited in the County Wicklow in 1934 there were.
political uprisings in Dublin and she saw a large butcher shop where,
the plate glass windows had been smashed to atoms, the wooden
blocks chopped up with cleavers and all the furnishings and stock
destroyed. She couldn't help wondering to what avail.
Sometime after he came to Bayfield in 1922, Dr. A.
Newton-Brady only brother was killed by the IRA by means of a
wire stretched across the road which caught him under the chin as he
rode home one evening.
And back in the 18th century one of Lucy's forebears, an elderly
clergyman of the Church of Ireland who did not meddle in politics,
beloved by all in his parish, jumped out of an upstairs window of the
Vicarage onto swords. His trusted servant of 30 years had told him
to jump when he whistled and he'd have a mattress below and get
him safely away during a systematic murder of Protestants. Today
we have the bombs and rifles instead of spears.
Today, as they celebrate Christmas, let us hope and pray that the
e hearts of those who use such violent and useless means to try and
achieve their ends, are touched with love for their fellow men
instead of the hatred for law and justice.
Then think of the 300 children killed in one spot alone when
India sent bombers over East Pakistan. They may not be Christians
but primarily this is a religious war and is a needless slaughter of
innocents.
On the North American continent Lucy wonders if the huge
advertising gimmicks and Santa Claus parades have taken the Babe of
Bethlehem out of Christmas. Now great emphasis is placed on costly
gifts both for young and old. When Lucy was young, gifts were so
simple, very often home made as an expression of love. Invariably
there was only a gift for each on the Christmas tree or in the
stocking.
At Sunday School and school concerts of those days, the children
got candy and oranges. And from their Sunday School teachers,
books, many of which are treasured today.
Years ago Lucy heard a prominent London Physician scoff at the
need for orange juice as a dietary supplement. "Why," he said, "We
were lucky if we got one orange in our stockings at Christmas."
Lucy remembers going with her father to Edward's store and
picking two cake plates out of the display on the long central table
for mother from Lucy and Jean for Christmas. The cast 20 cents
each and she was overjoyed when her father bought them.
Also, Lucy's mother used to give pitchers and plates filled with
homemade candy to relatives. These inexpensive gifts meant so
much. Shortly before she died, Mrs. Woods' brother accidentally
broke a small cake plate which cousin , Lena had given her for
Christmas. Mother saideDirtauder, I've fratt that` plate for 50' years."
"Time you got a new one, " he replied.
She was deeply hurt.
Christmas was a "home" celebration in those days, surrounded by
the family or loved ones. Lucy can still hear her father's beautiful
tenor voice in "Though poor be the chamber" which he had sung as
a boy soloist at school.
Lucy and Jean were taught carols by their parents. But these were
not sung until Christmas, for in those days the penitential season of
Advent, when we prepared for the coming of Christ, and made
resolutions for the New Year, was adhered to strictly. And Lucy
enjoyed the minor tunes of advent hymns. Then we sang joyous
Christmas carols until Epiphany. Advertising, the power of the dollar
has interrupted the church catender.
Bayfield United Church
Wpmen, have adopted five year
old Bea Ardila of Colombia, By
eontributing $17 a month
through Foster Parents Plan of
Canada, The Church Women give
the child and the family material
And financiel aid aimed at
strengthening the family unit by
helping each member. The child
is symbolic of aid given to the
entire family.
Before The Church Women
became flea's Foster Parents, the
family struggled to survive on an
income of $45.25 monthly, This
income is earned by her father as
a watchman. Meals for the
family consisted of rice,
vegetables, fish and cheap beef,
Home for Ilea and her family of
seven was a shack made of wood
with composition roof that
measures 10 feet x 51 feet,
divided into three rooms, with
no sanitary facilities.
The Church Women's
contribution of $17 a month
brings the family a monthly cash
grant, distribution of goods such
as vitamins, blankets, towels,
soap and other useful items,
medical and dental care, the
sustained guidance and
counseling of social workers and
the benefit of special programs.
A strong emphasis is placed on
education. All Foster Children
(and their brothers and sisters if
possible) must attend school.
Vocational training courses given
or supported by PLAN in some
countries are available to Foster
Children, their brothers and
sisters and in some cases, their
parents. The aim is to give each
member of the family the tools
to help themselves become
independent and self-supporting.
Special programs adapted to the
needs of each country also meet
these aims.
In Colombia, for example, a
mejadora (homemaker) service is
available. Women in PLAN
families are taught basic
principles of hygiene, first aid,
nutrition, baby care and human
development so they may take
over and improve the
management of a home in which
the mother in incapacitated.
Foster Parents and Foster
Children correspond monthly
(letters are translated by PLAN)
and often develop warm and
affectionate relationships which
mean as much to the child as the
material and financial aid.
Foster Parents Plan is
currently working in ten
countries in South America and
Asia. Over 53,000 children are
currently being aided by
individuals, groups and families
in the U.S,, Canada and
Australia. For more information
on this non-profit, non-sectarian,
non-political independent
organization, write Foster
Parents Plan of Canada, 153 St.
Clair Avenue West, Toronto 7,
Ontario.
Ilea is a sweet child of the
slums of Buenaventura. Her
ill-educated father is a
watchman, earns $45.25 a
month. The child's mother is
needed at home. She was
married before and had five
children, four or whom live with
relatives.
The mother and father are
both deeply concerned that their
children should have good
education for the sake of their
future. Orfelina lives and works
in Cali, cannot help her mother.
Arturo and Isaac, 18, are twins.
Both are in third year of high
school, but live elsewhere.
Belgica, 16, lives with her
mother and tends the home and
family for the mother. Jesus
Enrique, 14, also does not live at
home but with relatives. Rafaei,
eight, Matte, seven, are in first
grade and Luis Javier, one, is the
baby. Out of their income they
spend $3.55 a month for water
and soap.
They live in a shack of wood
with composition roof, that
measures 10 ' x 51', divided into
3 rooms. In the first is a set of
chairs, in the second five beds.
The kitchen holds petroleum
burner, dishrack, kitchen
utensils. They light an oil lamp
at night. They buy some water
but depend mostly on collected
rain. They have no bathroom.
The shack is orderly and clear".
Still, all is eloquent of their
poverty. Meals are poor, made'
up from rice, vegetables, fish and
cheap beef.
lice is friendly when one
knows her, not very used to
cameras. She is dressed poorly,
but neat and clean. She likes to
talk and remains cheerful in
spite of privations and hardships.
PLAN aid provides help for her
and her family and assures her
chance for education. It provides
a monthly cash grant, clothes
and supplies, special family
medical care at our clinic,
counseling from social workers
and director. Not your own least
gift is a heart that really cares
and wants to help.
