UNUSUAL STORY PROVES Babe of Bethlehem, Others Have Changed World History WROXETER—The Friend- ship Unit of the UCW held its Christmas meeting in the Sun- day School room amid seasonal decorations. Of particular note was a lovely Nativitiy scene set up by one of the members. Mrs. A. Millar, president of the Unit, presided throughout the meeting. Mrs. Fred Taylor, due to the absence of Mrs. J. Doig, acted as pianist and played for the Christmas carols, which were interspersed throughout the program. Mrs, Laura Munro read the Christmas story as told by Luke and given to us in the New Revised Version. Mrs. S. Higgins led in prayer. All mem- bers contributed some item in keeping with the Christmas season. A Christmas letter to Mrs. K. Edgar from Miss Laura Collar in Bethlehem, brought news and greetings to the church women. Another member displayed her first Christmas card, which was greetings and a picture of the Rev. Russell Self family, a Presbyterian Mis- sionary stationed at Jhansi, India. The highlight of the meeting was a beautiful and unusual Christmas story presented by Mrs, Howard Wylie, showing how the Babe of two thousand years ago, born in Bethlehem, changed the course of world history, and how other babes born throughout the ages grew up and changed the world of their day. The scene changed to a rough mining camp. A little babe was born, the mother died, and the rough and blasphem- ous miners adapted the baby. The lives and appearance of the whole camp changed and all because a babe was born. The minutes of the November meeting were read by the secretary, Mrs, H, Wylie. A financial report for the year, which was quite gratifying, was read by Mrs. S. Higgins. The roll call was answered by a verse containing the word "gift." The meeting closed by repeating the benediction. All those present sat down to a pot Iuck supper In a Christmasy atmosphere.
