In the hearts of many of us there is prejudice, hatred, resentment, fear. But as we look upon the face of the Christ Child, a sense of security settles down upon us, and animosities give place to peace and poise. We come away determined to cultivate those childlike qualities — simplicity, trust, humility, forgiveness, tolerance — so necessary Lo citizenship in the kindom of God. We are now residents of California, that state where the people exultingly appreciate its varied products, its health-giving climate, its never-ending beautiful scenery. We are located where the golden sunkist valley greets the snow-capped mountains of the Sierra Madre range, and, where the balmy breez- ■ es put the glow into life. 1 Perhaips you would like to know | about the places of interest you will wish to visit when you come to California. We would suggest that you write to Chambers of Commerce of the different cities for literature along this line. However, we shall mention a few outstanding places attractive to travelers; Shasta Dam, second largest in the world, 500 ft. high, 3500 ft. wide, making possible the waters of the Sacramento River for power, irrigation, and flood control; Yosemite National Park, with its domes and spires thousands of feet high, and its waterfalls the highest in the world; Sequoia National Park with Mt. Whitney 14,500 ft. high, General Sherman (Redwood) tree. ft. in diameter, the largest, living tree in the world; Death Valley, with the lowest altitude in America, but amazingly colorful; Griffith Park, north of Los Angeles, with its natural setting of mountains and God-made landscaping, where is found a famous planetarium, dramatizing stars, moon, and planets; Forest Lawn Cemetery, a veritable memorial park, the first of . many similar ones; Palomar Observatory on Palomar Mountain, altitude 6.000 ft., on which is erected the largest telescope In the world, the one on Mt. Wilson now being second largest; Indio, the heart of a most interesting and thriving date industry. Our home is in Pasadena, an outstanding city as to residences, climate. culture, art, education and religion. It is world-renowned for its annual Tournament of Roses and the Rose Bowl Football Game on New Years Day. We live in a fiveroom bungalow, a unit of a court, landscaped with shrubbery and flowers. For this we are profoundly grateful. In describing California, one is inclined to overlook its early and present religious life. The Catholics from Mexico did splendid work as missionaries among the Indians 250 years ago. They erected mission buildings, still standing and places of unusual historic interest. It is here that the idea of mass out- door Easter services originated. Mt. Ru-, ■ bidoux, near Riverside, is renowned ■ as the first meeting place for such j a service, the attendance of which is now greatly outnumbered by that i of a similar service in Hollywood ; Bowl. The missionary spirit is Im pressively emphasized by the un i usually large exhibit of 5,000 relics from all over the world, displayed in the Mission inn at Riverside. In San Gabriel, the Mission Play portrays annually for a week the early i [religious culture and evangelistic | fervor of the self-sacrificing fathers. I No less evident today is that same evangelistic and missionary spirit that surcharges the churches 'which support liberally the cause of missions in funds and personnel. While writing this letter out-of- ' loors. we look up to witness the bluest of blue skies. We fancy that it was out of such a sky that the angels coming upon the shepherds sang. "Peace on earth, goodwill to men." Just now peace seems far removed from our world. Clouds of prejudice, hatred, fear, chaos and despair dim the horizon — clouds too dense for the angels to penetrate. Is there anything we can do to fur.her the cause of peace? Yes. we are certain there is. The answer is couched in patience, faith, and prayer. This answer came to us so forcibly during the long illness of our dear companion. We wanted so much that the healing process re store her to health, but we have to learn the lesson of patience, living a day at a time. Our faith was weak when confronted by the opinions of the surgeon, doctors, and nurses: but. 'l»y degrees, we found our faith increasing and her life was spared. We had much and still have much to learn about true prayer — our pathway to God. Looking at the world’s terrible I

illness, we are prone to lose patience and align ourselves with the materially minded leaders and agree to a plan of military force, forgetting that God wants a spiritual force to operate. We lack the faith for it; it is easy to agree with a large majority that war is inevitable, there being no hope. What would happen if all Christians were to unite their forces and pray, really pray, for world righteousness, justice, goodwill? Do you know that ten million persons have alreadyagreed to -pray daily for our world leaders, for their conversion to God and the right? Out of' this may come that spiritual force that will produce a world brotherhood. The enclosed leaflets were inspiring to us and we trust they will be to you, causing all of us to be more earnest in living the Christian life, surrendering more for service, making first In life the winning of souls to Christ. Then we can hope to hear the heavenly message, "Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men.” May the Christmastide bring you peace and joy. Sincerely, D. Carl & Clara Yoder 646 N. Mentor Ave. Pasadena 4, Cai.
