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.
