WOOD, SUPERINTENDENT Alaska Mission o1 Seventh-day Adventists As we near ine ciose of 1938 it is again time to write our annual message of Christmas cheer. After reviewing the events of the past year it is with mingled sorrow and joy that we shall write this brief message. Of course we are expected to look on the bright side of life and this we try to do. But from the viewpoint of a Christian clereyman I cannot be unmindful of the greatest tragedy that will in history, the tragedy of religi- cus intolerance manifested in many ntries. } Two millennfums witness that the teachings of Jesus to *“love your You'll Find These Santa’s Toyshop Doll mothers like to play laun- dress and serve tea T - #“Learn by doing” is play motto of many children note is the miniature of household furnishings, strgssed because’ many children like to “learn by doing.” | A few of the toys on display are shown.
