National President's Message Dear Friends in Christ: When thinking of the story of Christmas I ponder over the role of the Magi. Impressed upon my mind is the great fortune of the three kings from countries in the East! who were led directly to the stable where our Lord was to hold court. The kings must have found their, journey difficult, but they were steadfast, undiscourag ed by a jealous ruler, devious paths or rugged traveling con ditions. They bore gifts suitable for a King. Though they found this King reigning from a throne of rough straw and attended by shepherds, flocks of sheep and other beasts of the stable, they were taken aback. They present ed Him with gifts of myrrh, frankincense and gold, falling to their knees to adore Him. These royal gifts were received by Mary with the same graciousness she had extended to the more humble gifts of the shepherds. We must present our gifts to the Christ Child in another man ner. We cannot give Him precious metals or fragrant perfume. But Christ said , during His public ministry that what we do for the least of His brethren, we do for Him. Our gifts to Him can be given through our help. to men, women and children throughout the world in need of our charity —persons who need food, cloth ing. and shelter. They are many. Through our Holy Father, vicar of Christ - on-earth, we can present gifts to Ghrist. Our gold sent to the Storerooms of the Ploly Fa ther will buy garments for child ren in orphanages, for men in grave need of clothes to wear to work, for women poorly dressed to withstand the winter cold. Gifts of money that you send to N.C.W.C. headquarters will be "COUNTRY GIRL" — Mary Kathryn Mock, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence E.

We will be grateful to you, the blessing of the Holy Father will be extended to you, but most important, Christ will love you.
