Miss Olive O'Brien presented the topic, "A New Year's Mess- age She asked, "What was 1957 worth to you? We should exam- 'ine ourselves periodically. Exam- inations are good things in the `education field, also in the medi- .cal field. This also is true spirit- aually. Do you realize that Jesus Christ is in you unless you fail 'to meet the test? Did I make the most use of my time in 1957? Did we withdraw within our lit- tle selves? The important thing is that we can be counted upon to do our best. That is one of our greatest talents. • Am I too satisfied with my meagre accom- plishments? Have I been too •pessimistic this past year? Some people are . always looking on the dark side. Look out on our• modern world. We cannot do anything about it. If we refuse to care, we are de- ¶eated in our souls. God cannot 'use us in His work. Have I done those things which will make me most worthy of being Christian? Do not be satisfied with past ac- complishments. Have we allowed Jesus Christ to have full control of our lives? With God our ef- forts will count. This one thing we can do, follow Christ. Take Him with us into the New Year. The hymn, "Living for Jesus", was sung. Donna Kipper and Lin da Gascho, accompanied by Mrs. Milton Oesch, sang, "Jesus bids us shine." Mrs. Gideon Koehler reveiwed four chapters of the study book, "The cross and crisis in Japan."

The non Christians observe the Festi- val of the Lanterns, when they welcome the spirits of their an- cestors. Japan is composed of four main islands. Rice is their main food. Christianity was in- troduced by Portuguese traders, and missionaries. Japan was closed to Christianity for a time. The Protestant misisonaries have worked zealously in Japan." The hymn, "I would be like Jesus," was sung. Miss Olive O'Brien and Mrs. G. Koehler pre- sented an interesting film strip on Japan.
