Her message showed how we all have a vision for the New Year, where love, peace and justice will prevail.

Born in Toronto, she was a faithful and tireless worker of the WMS for nearly 60 years, during the depression and war, years. Mrs. Nugent introduced the study book on the Caribbean. The land area of the islands totals only 87,291 square miles, roughly the size of Great Britain. The climate of the Caribbean is tropical, but prevailing north eastern winds make it comfortable and an ideal tourist area. o Democracy continues to struggle against dictatorship in some nations. With few natural resources, Carib- bean countries have comparatively little to export. Ecdhomic well- being varies greatly among the nations and is affected by tourism and the international debt.," Various forms of Christianity are predominant in the islands today. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the major Christian denominations of Canada and the United States sent missionaries to all parts of the Caribbean. The three most common official languages today are Spanish, English and French. Rollcall was answered by a New Year's thought and payment of fees..
