MERRY MATRONS
The Christ-child stood at Mary’s knee,
His hair was like a crown,
And all the flowers looked up at Him,
And all the stars looked down.

REV. J. D. CREGO
ATTENDS SEMINAR
Rev. J. D. Crego was the
recipient of a scholarship re
cently to attend a United Metho
dist Church Seminar at the
United Nations in New YorkCity
He reports that they spent four
strenuous and intensely inter
esting days there. The study
was concentrated on the nations
located in the southern part of
Africa; The Republic of South
Africa, Namibia (South West
Africa), Angola, Bissau, and
Rhodesia. One night while there
the group attended an off Broad
way play called “The Black
Terror”, a very realistic and
superbly acted production sho
wing the strengths, the dangers
and the appeal of both the ter
roristic and violent struggle
for human rights, and the give
and take of attempting the same
thing by legislative and peace
ful means.
Rev. Crego re
ports that such a study brings
both hope and despair. Hope
that the races of men shall yet
learn to live together in mutual
love and brotherhood. Despair
because there is so much of
hate, bloodshed and selfishness
and strife among the peoples of
the earth.
