Two hundred and seventy-six dollars are • re- quired for his support. The money is widely spent instal- ling a family privy, repair- ing walls, aiding the grand- mother in health and welfare and his• Scout training. The boy resides in the Philippine Islands, where typhoons os - cur frequently. The choir and toddlers of 'the congregation occupied the central front pews while Rev. John G. Roberts deliv- ered the message. A question and answer period with the minister and choir members revealed that colored elec- tric lights and candles are the prime Christmas decor- ations. Mr. Roberts asked "Will the sun rise tomorrow? Is there any place where it doesn't rise?" The children learned that beyond the Arc- tic circle the light of the sun is reflected for two hours daily from late November until the third week of Janu- ary. Residents in some Nor- wegian cities live in a period ' of darkness which creates some problems. Light is important in northern Norway. Waiting, hoping and lights are signifi- -cant-with--Christmas. -Jesus-- keeps coming once and for all. The light of understand- ing. is not necessarily brought by Christmas. Appropriate hymns were sung during the service which was concluded by the choir singing the benedic- tion.
