far-ranging action of America was
taken for the sake Of the safety of
America, 1t would be silly to pre-
tend that Britain was not very glad
to see it done. The occupation of
Iceland by American and British
forces was proof that the bridge
across the Atlantic Ocean would not
be broken down and that arms and

 We do not know these answers. but We do believe the simple words. Fear Not. are apt for the crisis into which we have been catapulted Especially are they appropriate in this Christmas Season since they were uttered to a confused world at the birth of the Saviour. The words may be read in the second chapter of Luke's Gospel. Fear not: for, behold. l bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David Saviour. which is Christ the Lord. " When he grew to manhood.

GO TO BETHLEHEM By The Rev. Arnold Kdone Episcopal Church

" Let us now go even unto Beth lehem.s St. Luke 2:15.
 l am so glad that when God came to reveal Himself to us. He was born in a place that shall forever be fhe brightest spot on earth and on a def mite day that we can always keep with caroling God does reveal Him self in some places more than other places. and if we want to see Him We have to get up and go there. The Wise Men found that out They might have said as some foolish people say today. God is everywhere. We can find Him in the sky over Persia as well as anywhere else. We can find Him along the shores of the Tigris or in the Gardens of Ispahan, or among the glorious of Samarkand And so they could. But they could not find Him revealed in Jesus unless they went to Bethle- hem. And they went and found Him
 It is this very principle which carries on today so that. as the Church is the New Jerusalem, she carries over with her a time and a place called Bethlehem where we may go as the shepperds went and met Jesus
 Bethlehem symbolizes the heart of saeramental worship of God of a personal God collectively present and approached through the outward and visible sign. These shepherds bowed down and worshipped the In- visible God! But how? By kneeling in front of a manager where lay the visible revelation of that Presence incarnate before them Christians have continued that practice. Every Altar in Christendom is manager Every sanctuary a stable, every church a Bethlehem, where all may find God at point in space and time. Hence. CHRIST-MASS and the services of worship on Christmas Day.
 I read that the shepherds returned rejoicing and praising God and made known abroad the saying of the Angels about the truth of Saw four Christ the Lord The shepherds are still bringing to men everywhere the same good tidings.

 When the fulness of the time was come God sent forth His Son. Gal atians A
 The Saviour had been promised from the days of Eden, but the full fillment tarried and hearts had grown weary. Adam and Eve had looked for an immediate fulfillment of the promise in their first born but century after century passed away the voice of the prophets ceased. Yet, in the words of one Bible writer, Hike the stars in the vast circuit of their appointed path. Gods purposes know no haste and no delay" So writes the apos- tie Paul, When the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son."
 Over nineteen hundred years have passed since the Wise Men from the East saw His star and came to wor- ship the Saviour as He lay in the rude manager. All heaven watched in amazement to see how few were prepared to greet the Saviour af all mankind. Only the Wise Men from the East and the humble shepherds from the nearby Judean hills greet ed the Son of God. But today the hope and confidence in God which the advent of Christ into the world brought still bears Up the courage and hope of men and women every where.
 What though the world has tragi- eally changed under the impact of war and revolution! What though
