BY THE REV.
JOHN D. M. WOOD
At the time of Jesus'
birth--m-any people had
been .forced to leave their
homes and travel to the
place where they had
been born in order that
they might be included in
the census and also pay
their taxes.,
A faithful\Jew might
well have cried out in the
words of the psalmist,
"Why. do You stand far
off, 0 Lord? How long, 0
Lord? How long will You
hide Your face from
me?" -
God answered ' that
prayer through the birth
of Jesus.
Mary and Joseph, like
many other displaced
persons, had found crude
lodging in Bethlehem. It
was a fully human child
to whom Mary had given
birth, yet this child was
not only an answer to 'a
mother'sprayer for a
child, but the answer to a
prayer of a whole people.
Long before that night
God had promised,
"Behold, a young woman
shall conceive and bear a
son, and his name shall
be called Emmanuel
(which means, God with
us)."
In Jesus then, God
entered human life. God,
born a man -child, entered
our world of sin and evil
and darkness to ex-
perience in history the
hard knoeks and jolts
which come on the road of
human life.
But with God here in
Jesus the darkness is not
over -powering for the
light of this very human
life shows the presence of
God in a world turified
rotten with evil;- cruelty
and suffering.
That light gives hope in
our world today with the
sufferings of the Cam-
bodians, of the boat
people, of the American
hostages in Iran, of the
families of the 15,000
people who have
disappeared in Argen-
tina, of the people of
Rhodesia, of the sufferers
in South Africa under the
iniquitous doctrine of
apartheid.
God is not absent; He is
here. In the most unex-
pectedplaces God's
goodness breaks forth,
love shines, and the
eternal meaning of
Christmas is made clear.
God is not apart from
human life but with it.
Mullen, Rick Rompf,
Jack ITuckworth and
Clare Bedard.

BIRTHRIGHT A GIFT OF LIFE FOR
CHRISTMAS
Every child who
comes into the world
is born in the
image of God.
Will you help some
to be born?
Birthright offers the symbolic shelter of the Stable
to girls and womeh who find pregnancy a great
burden, but who with our help, can go on, and give
birth.
Birthright offers the symbolic gifts of the shepher-
ds in the form of clothing and other essentials to
these girls and women. Kingly treasures are few
since we rely on donations and our. staff are volun-
teers.
But even more valuable than treasures, Birthright
offers the priceless' gift of friendship, the promise
that each baby's birth will be an honoured oc•
casion of joy and wonder.
This year the need to let our service be known is
greater, for the abortion mentality is growing and
encroaching on the value and safety of human life.
We must reach the Star, bring it closer, widen,the
circle of warmth and guidance.
We need you as a,yolunteer in 1980.
We need your gift of life now,
Blessed Christmas.
