Every pastor should secure children for a Pastor’s Instruction Class each year. 6 Many pastors have no evangelistic program. 7. A “Fellowship of Evangelism” should be established on every charge. Each pastor should build and maintain a complete prospect list and also train and direct laymen in evangelistic visitation. Laymen should experience the joy of winnig people for Christ.

Dec. 24, 44 Dear Folks,
It’s too hot this afternoon to do much and besides I’m sort of tired so while I’m sitting around I’ll try to write some. I’ve seen more of this island yesterday and today than ever before and even now I’ve not seen very much. Yesterday 1 went up to the beach about 7 mile to the dental clinic and had a tooth filled. Today and tomorrow we don’t have any duty so this morning Green, Sparks and I caught a ride down the beach as far as wc could go. % imagine we must of gone about 10 or 12 miles before the mountains came down to the water and our road ended there at what’s supposed to be a town. We then rode back this way about 4 miles

Several time I saw women using a long pole to pound grain up in a hollowed out log. They use their feet to keep the grain pushed back in the hole. Well that’s about all I can think of now about the natives. Oh yes, I did see 3 Xmas trees today. They looked like they Ifed used some kind of small tree and stripped all the leaves off and then wrapped the branches with green paper. They were decorated w.th deferent colors of paper cut into strips, chains, lanterns
and etc.
Yes I got the Xmas card and short letter you mailed Dec. 5th. It’s the first mail I’ve gotten for about 3 weeks. There wasn't much in your letter and from the way you wrote I know you had wrote me a day or so before. Well it’s supper time so J might as well stop and mail this. It might go out tomorrow. I think we are to have turkey tomorrow. Love to all.

A Long Island GI, writing home from a hospital cot in Italy during the Chiistmas season, tells of listening to “Silent Night" and “Adeste Fidelis” p'ayed on a phonograph, and adds: "It seems hard to believe that anyone hearing these sings could listen and still fight a war. And yet the people of every country in this war sing these carols and have the Christmas spirit at this time of year. Maybe if we had Christmas more often throughout the year * we wouldn’t have so many wars, or the conditions which create
them.”
God’s children. I remember one Instance when one of the aid men did not want to give a German blood plasma. He said he did not think we should waste good American blood on them. I answered that the pint needed might be the pint I gave last spring a year ago, and I would be willing for it to be used on the German . . . There are some things that wars cannot destroy, and I hope we can still love the German people after this war :s over.”
It is not more prosperity or more political sagacity that we need, but more fundamental spiritual conviction and a deeper insight into the will of God and his eternal righteousness," Bishop Arthur J. Moore, of Atlanta, Ga„ recently told an assemblage of Methodist minister. "These alone can give us vitality and security. Every civilization in the past has believed that it was secure and eternal. All of them have been wrong. It is increasingly apparent that most of our distress ia the result of putting cur faith in material power. History is littered with the debria of civilizations which lost their souls. No civilization that is not built upon a spiritual foundation can long endure.”

to change hands nearly as fast. The women wen. sending around in groups talking and selling some kind of a bread stick lot of them were eating. They finally yelled out that they had a couple cocks matched up and the spurs on so the other games quit and for about 15 minutes there was lots of noise as they were betting on which would win. I though a couple times we would see more than just a cock fight. They finally got their bets made and then every one cleared out a big ring and the roosters went to it. The fight didn’t last long tor one (a white one) hit the o^Iur in the leg and crippled ^ then it was just seconds until the white one struck the red one ir the side and killed it. I saw one native collect about 300 Pecor, from that fight. After that om was over it takes them so long to match up another pair that I came back and went swimming. Xmas must be a great day for even the natives for they have been dressed up in there best today and though some of their clothes are not so good they are all very clean. Its hard to describe the way they dress and live but I’ll try. Nearly everyone goes barefooted and the women all wear dresses much the same as women at home. Tho I’ve noticed that they go in for bright colors when they can or else plain white. The men all wear shirts and shorts. All girls that are not married wear their ha.r hanging down over their shoulders. Some of them have hair that reaches their waist. After they are married they either braid their hair in pig tails or coil it up on the back of their head. Even the smaller girls wear dresses but nearly all small hoys just wear a short shirt that usually hits them about their waist. Jts not un usual to see one pull of his shirt

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sublet! of Fillmore are in recept of the follow.ng letter from Naples, Italy.
Naples Italy Jan. 3, 1945
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sublett, I just received your letter and V-mail. I got the V-mail last night, and your nice letter today. I sure was very glad to hear from you all. I am very sorry J didn’t write sooner, but I justbegan to use my right hand again. Yes, I was Injured Oct. 4, by German artillery, I sure was lucky to come out with only my hand injured, many of my friends were killed. My hand Is O. K. now. I was sent out to a reconditioning camp from the hospital and was reclassified tu R T. U. (Return to Unit) when I took sick with my side, and stomach so now I am in the hospital. The Dr. thinks I have liver trouble. I am on a diet for now. but I look to have to go back to my company soon, (back to the front) I pray Ji don’t have to
though.
Guess who I met over here? Capt. Kenneth Smyth. I received a letter from him that his mother sent him my hospital address, so I got a pass to Nables and found him. Boy was glad to see him. It has been over 4 years since we saw eacli other. He also got Herbert (Alvora) Robinson’s address, so we three got together at the hospital with Alvora. Alvora came over seas in July and was on the front lines five days when he got ’badly wounded in the legs. I have seen over a hundred combat days. I think it is around
140 days.
So Xmas day K-nneth went to the hosp.tal and got Robinson and came over to see me. Kenneth comes over often. Ken neth sure ia a good officer, every one likes him as a Captain. He is with the B. B. S. Hqs Com mand Supply so he’ll never see combat or hasn't yet. ■H. A. I hope this finds you and Mrs. Sublett well. My dad feeling much better now lit sure was bad to hear about Fred Shuck and Vernon (Bud) Arnold. We’ll all pray this will end soon. I feel that it will, think Germany Is beginning her end. She can't last long.

A former “sufi,” or magician of the Moslem faith, was recently elected a bishop of the Methodist church in India—the third Indian and the first Moslem ever so elected. He is the Rev. John A. Subhan, member of an old Moslem family of Benares, that for generations were office holders in the court of the Moghal emperors. He was born in Calcutta forty-seven years ago, trained as a sufi and hafiz. but was early converted to Christ* ianity. Educated at St. Paul’s (Angelican) college and at Bareilly Theological Seminary (Methodist), he was a professor in the Henry Martyn School of Islamics, Aligarh, India, and more recently principal of Bareilly Seminary. While teaching at the seminary, he was ordained a minister of the Methodis’, church, and has served as pastor and district superintendent in Delhi. Bishop Subhan is proficient In English, Urdu, Arabic
and Persian.
