wifery has come a long way since the program was proposed four years ago. “Most of our physicians now believe that the program adds an important new dimension to the Plan’s level of care,” he said. Mrs. Constance Nelson, a Plan member expecting her fourth child and currently under the care of midwife Mary Jo Rourke, says it’s the best thing to happen to child deliveries in this country. Mary Jo delivered her third child in April 1977, an experience Mrs. Nelson says was “much

more relaxed than previous deliveries.” Her husband was allowed in the delivery room and her two children were allowed to see their new sibling soon after delivery. Mary Jo was allowed to stay with her during labor, a luxury, say Plan officials, doctors are simply unable to afford in routine deliveries. During pregnancy and delivery, midwives try to alter conventional routines to make their patients more comfortable. Mrs. Nelson says Mary Jo let her sit up through much of labor and bring her children to the pre-natal examinations. Dr. Harkness adds: “One facet of the program not to be underestimated is the woman to woman relationship. “We have discovered that mid-

wives relate to their patients in a much less rigid way than is the custom of many physicians.” Plan members are given the option of a midwife at the first signs of pregnancy. An obstetrician must perform at least two examinations during the pregnancy, but all other pre and post-natal care is done by the midwife. In 1634 the General Court of Massachusetts enacted a law against drinking toasts.

FROM THE MINISTERS DESK: The first real snowfall of the winter always reminds us of the hymn which soys, Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow." How thankful we are for His Love and Grace that we might be mode new again. Are you making your maximum effort to be in attendance at each service of the church? Are you making your maximum effort to invite and bring with you your friends and neighbors? As we near the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ let us remember that His birth is of little help to those who have not themselves been reborn into His Body and remade into His image. Our task, to bring the gospel to all by bringing all to Christ, is not only continuing but is more imperative now than ever before. The degeneration of moral values, the desperate need of people for love and worth, the nearness of Christs coming and many other factors compel us to do our best to share Christ with the world before this generation passes.
