This period must always be


a time of hope, and promise; the yearly milestone on man- y n d ’s march forward to a better world. Of course, that march Is not always forward; there Is an ebb and flow of human affairs Just as there Is of the sea, but let us reassure


ourselves that, over the space of years," mankind advances. To believe otherwise Is to deny all that Christ stood for.

state of change as It is now. With scientific development distance has shruhk and all nations are now neighbours; all closely affected by the actions of the others. The search for material prosperity and economic strength has thrown up the soulless and aggressive creed of Com­ munism: a dangerous and vital challenge to our ovvn Christian and civilised beliefs, but a dangerously attractive alternative to those to whom material advancement, Is of single, and over - pov/ering Importance.' Let us not forget tha t for those nations on the economic bread, line the shortest road to economic advaiicb Is the right one.


In these- difficult and


dangerous times we must for ever look with critical eyes oil bur own actions and check them against our Christian beliefs. Above all we must not forget our responsibility as individuals to the society In which we live. . Few countries In the world are as well off in material things as we are and this places an added responsibility on us to help those who are less fortunate. ,


' But whatever difficulties


and dangers there may be around ns my wife atvd 1 extend to you all good wishes for the New Year.
