be no Christmas, no Christmas Joys

The Christmas cards the Bros

meaning Of the great feast.
The Christmas tree represents
the tree OF life in paradise. or the
tree Of the cross on which Christ
regained for US the supernatural
life OF grace. The ornaments and
gifts on and under the tree are TO
remind US Of the fulness Of the
graces that Christ merited for Us
upon the cross. The lights on the
tree represent Christ, the Light of
the World.
The Christmas greenery and
flowers have special significance
too. Christmas evergreen is a svn-

Bishop Oman Gives
Background Of Revolt
By People Of Asia
By he Assoeioted Pros,

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., April
21.-Methodist Bishop G. Brom-
ley Oman of Washington said
yesterday Western nations must
learn to understand the revolt
by the people Of Asia against
ancient political and economic
systems.
He told Protestant and Ortho-
dox church leaders the. problem
is Ito help the social revolution
in Asia move in line with the
Christian social concepts of the
Western world instead of ways
that strengthen Communist in
duence."
The basic problem in India,
he said, is the need for land
reform. Taking land from big
landowners without paying for
it is "abhorrent to our way of
thinking" Bishop Oman said.
But he urged understanding.
for Indians who demand expro-
priation of the land. These
people have paid rent on their
land for years with money bor-
.rowed at interest rates as high
as 40 per cent, Bishop Oman
said. They feel they have
bought their land over and over
again."
He spoke to churchmen gath.
cred for the annual meeting of
the American Conference for the
World Council of Churches. Bish-
op Oman. one of the six presi-
dents of the world council, is
chairman Of the two-day con-
ference.
Major business to be discussed
by the more than 100 delegates
was the second assembly of the
World Council Of Churches at
Evanston, H., in August, 1854.
Represented at the conference
were IL United States denomi-
nations, with a total membership
of 80 million. The world council
itself is composed of more than
158 Anglican, Orthodox and
Protestant denominations in 43
countries.
