Christmas as it is celebrated in other lands was depicted In eight colorful scenes by 50 students of the sixth grade. Sweden, South America. Poland, Holland, Italy. France. Bethlehem and the United States were the lands selected for dramatization. A chorus of 250 voices made up of children In grades one to five, inclusive, sang appropriate musical numbers with each scene. All members of the (horns were dressed in white choral robes, while those taking parts in the pageant, were costumed in appropriate, bright colored costumes typical of the various countries. Readers introduced each scene. Several dancers were used to typify that art in each country. The general theTue or Idea was that a mother was telling her children how Christmas is celebrated in the various countries, and the scenes were her explanation.

The experiences of the year that is passing have probably given us a better appreciation of the great love the Lord had for the world when He gave His Only Begotten Son that those who believed in Him might not perish but have everlasting life. Lite in its fullness here or hereafter, continuous life, the abundant life, is only possible in association with friends who have ideals such as come from a proper understanding of the restored Gospel of the Master. As we look ahead with a new year unfolding before us, let us trust sincerely that there is born in every Latter-daySaia greater determination to do the will of the Lord. Let us love Him with all our hearts, not forgetting to love God is to love our fellow men. Let there be more sympathy extended to the oppressed; more consideration given to the problems of the weak; more kindness to all. Let us show forth in ever increasing measure our devotions to the Most High by what we are willing to do for each other. Let us remember the Lord in our tithes and our offerings. Let us gather our families around us in prayer. Let us go into our secret chambers and seek His counsel and His support in righteousness. Let us "go to the house of prayer and offer up" our "devotions unto the Most High." Let us daily search our hearts that the sun may not set upon any bitterness therein toward any. of our fellowmen. To you, our friends and fellow workers, we express our appreciation for the past year's association and hope that the New Year may bring a renewal and continuous effort to carry on effectively the Lord's work, that we may obtain the joy which is promised to those who believe and do the will of the Father. Kindest wishes for a joyful holiday season. Sincerely your brethren, nt BEAVER STAKE PRESIDENCY A. Carlos Murdock monua stood out majestically as Aird G.
