White Christmas Most Successful

The first white Christmas lust OBJ.
'erved by the Sunday School of the
First Baptist church was a most sue.
'essful and pleasing affair. On Sat.
urday and Sunday the congregation
arried packages of food, confections
nd other Christmas articles to the
church and put them down in front
the pulpit, covering up the COM
munion table. DR.. Burrell remarked
hat he had seen many communion
ables hearing the divine elements
but had never seen one which more
'arly approached the divine eucha-
rist, or one more pleasing to the
Lord. On Monday the committee took
he articles in truck and visited the
families which had ben reported as
ely to be lacking in the Christmas
festivities. The gifts were distributed
without regard to race or creed. An
other pleasing feature was the pres
'ntation Of a purse of eighty dollars
to Dr. and Mrs. Burrell, by members
of the church, and the presentation
Of gold headed cane to Mr.. John G..
Skies by his Sunday school class.

nICTURES Of the erection of
houses in the new suburb of
Jerusalem, Bonai Bayit,
have just been received by the
Palestine Development Council
from the Jerusalem Office of the
Palestine Building Loan and
Savings Association. Til ese
photographs tell effectively the
kind of work the Palestine De-.
velopment Council is doing in
Palestine and indicate the prog
ress it is making.
The story of this new suburb
is simple enough though it is most
telling in the evolution of the new
Palestine. Just like everywhere
else in the world, there was a
shortage of houses in Palestine at
the end of the war. The general
tendency in Palestine was to meet
this problem by building opera
tions in Tel Aviv and Haifa. The
real pressure however, existed in
Jerusalem, but no one would VEN
ture to build there because the
task was more difficult, the costs
higher, and the obstacles to be
