Quoting from Interpreters
Bible:
THE COMPASSION OF
CHRIST. How does a crowd

our pride-as in some pa.

Jesus. The words translated
compassion is actually q
much stronger word. il i'm.
plies pain of love. He saw
the people of his land as
shepherdless people.
Jesus had compassion. He
loved the common man be.
cause he knew him 10 be
uncommon. Socrates and
Plato both held the common
man in mild scorn; and they
kent their schools, not for the
hoi polloi, but for gentle.
mems sons.
"How 10 describe the com.
passion of Christ? II is so
vast and deep that we are al.
most driven to use negatives.
Thus the comparison of Jesus
is not patronizing. Men are
brother men, not cases or
unfortunates, or even 'diSad-
yantages. His compassion is
not a devious movement. but
man 10 man and heart to
heart"
PRAY we therefore the
Lord Of the harvest, that he
will send forth laborers into

These verses hint at the
cruciality of prayer.

prayer Is not TO be a sub.
stituie for labor: the dis.

mighty power: ii is the chan
mel chosen by God for raising

This saving of Christ has

THREE KINGS DAY

411lCUL IA11NGD ia
THE DECISION to declare Three Kings Day a
legal holiday in the Virgin Islands is a good one, and
there is hope, in this corner at least, that it will become
an annual affair.
THERE HAVE been unfavorable comments that
the people of the Virgin Islands have too many holidays,
but that criticism is not entirely justified. We do have
many holidays, but each one has some significance, and
serves some very good purpose, 1t must be recalled that
both the weather and working conditions here do not
make for a set vacation period, as such, with the posi-
BILE exception of the schools.
2 THE GENERAL POPULACE, including public ser
wants, work through the year. Contrary to the contnen-
tai United States where the big, most popular vacation
is during the summer time, we cannot claim any such
period. Once winter sets in no one thinks of vacation,
except the few who 90 to winter resorts. The weather
forbids any such planning. The roads may be blocked,
the countryside is cold and bleak, and people wisely
head for indoor activities and work. All schools are
open, the reason being that summer study is almost IN
tolerable in crowded classrooms.
U THE PICTURE here is different. The weather
is uniform, which means that there is no need to set
aside given time for the bulk of vacations. An occa-
sional holiday, therefore, serves the purpose.
THEN THERE IS another factor worth consider
ing. Distance and travel difficulties make short vacations
impracticable, even if not impossible. No one can bun
die up his family and ride off 100 miles to a vacation
spot. Here he must take a plane, or wait for a boat. AS
a result the use Of the frequent holidays serves an excel
lent purpose.
IN SETTING ASIDE Three Kings Day, Governor
Merwin gave our Puerto Rican fellow citizen their par
ticular day of ~festivity, and at the same time provided
a fitting climax to the Christmas Festival. The idea is a
