HOW DO
MAN HAS achieved so much that he thinks
he ought to be able to explain everything, and
manipulate ai>ything, We would not, discount
the importance and value of these human
achievements, but as we sit in .our homes tonight;
and reflect on just some of the mighty things
that have recently transpired, surely then we
can understand the poet's prayer addressed. to
Marconi khen it,was, reported that the great
' inventor was contenplatbx g communicating with
lVfars:
;Leave. us the stars! The world hath noise .
enough
Without the roar of Mars!
Rab not 'the holy places of , their calm;
Bring us no' idle gossip of the spheres.
Leave us the stars, O wizard
let them.,be!"
Our world leaders are engaged in a mad
race, .at this very hour, ;to be the first to, place
a man on the moan. Fantastic! But true. Al- .
ready the Russians have hat the moon. and sentt
a missle around ate moon to send back pictures. ,
All at terrible cost.
Maybe we are satisfied' that 1959 lids been
a very good year despite the mild. recession of
the early months, the continued depressed state
Of ,agriculture; the troubles of the miners. in, the
Maritimes, and the early snow that left so many
crops on the fields of the Western Prairies.
Christ came to set men and their, world
eight with God—not only their hearts and their
souls, but even their business, their secular af- .
fates, their governments, to improve home life.
As we watch the glistening eyes of the children,
VSE ' REEAH?
sMbe we recall that He said: "Suffer the little
children to come unto me."
Then maybe a few of us will recall that"
only a few short days ago, a Canadian mother
said: " I'm glad my child died.' Gladys would
"have grown up deformed or with nd brain at all,"
A/little three -months -old daughter of thist
woman had died in hospital of rat bites as she
'slept in •her crib. The whole -side of her head
had been chewed away. , The 'shack where the
ciiild''s nioter and father and six more of thein
children lived had four rooMs. - Living with.
them were the father's -brother and six of. his
children. The husband, and. wife shared their
bed with five children. The child ;that later
died was discovered in a. pool of .blood in a crib,
one leg of which. had been .shoved into a hole"
to' keep out ,the rats.
This Canada! Christinas,1959. `.
Christ solved the Social and political and
economic problems of the world not by enun-
ciating. a new economic system; not by ipstruc�
ting man in ways of supply and demand, tariffs.
or subsidies; not by . -a great piece of research.
Ile saved it from its ills by being born as a Babe
in the signifiewit village of Bethlehem,
On this Christmas' Eve,. Christ comes again.
To some He Comes when their hearts are empty,
of the world; to others He comes when their
abject poverty has forced •some, such as this
Canadian mother, to say shie is .glad her baby
had. died. He • comes when tears stream down
their cheeks, that He might wipe them away. -
But to each and everyone He comes in His own
sweet way,

While we of the N.A.'T.O. nations must, in

created in the future, at .great cost,
