This was the message that they
carried to the world and it is the
same message which the, Church
carries today. To put it quite
briefly, God came down at Christ

we might live with Him always.
He took our nature upon Him that
we might share His Divine Ma

might become the sons of God.
That is the essence of Christmas.
Lose that and you lose the best

the possibility Of attaining the
best that life can offer.

peared to the effect that Frances gold
supply was dwindling. The franc. at
one time reached 1925 cents. around

The American Government took OPP
portunity to deny the gold rumors,
asserting France had ample" gold re-

the extent of this Governments sup
port Of the franc in the current crisis,
and the French currency became more
buoyant toward the week end.
Sterling. Netherlands guilders and

came in the wake of a revival of ru-
mors abroad that the United States
