Luke 2:19

MARY — gazing at the Babe in her arms
REMEMBERED what the Angel had told her —
ALL the great and mighty promises,
‘ THESE she had so often meditated upon —
* THINGS too deep to fully understand;
AND now, the promised Messiah, she
> THOUGHT ... lay in her arms — a helpless baby!
* DEEPLY humble and grateful, she wondered
ABOUT the days ahead, and pondered
THEM ... the destiny that awaited this tiny Babe.

“I ask for the support of
the people to put an end to
bombings and burnings; if I
get this support, we shall
achieve our aim!”

This was the emphatic,
earnest and positive appeal
of John J. Verigin, honorary
chairman of the Union of
Spiritual Communities of

- Christ in his address to the
Doukhobor Research Sym-

of voting — an issue very
prominont in the afd Decler-

the kind of voting that was
non-acceptable in the Douk-

where \governments. were -

concerned on the. provincial

Contributions to the an-

R.W. (Bill) King, president of
the British Columbia Lung

King said contributions

last year, and he expressed
optimism that the $715,000
target would be met by the

Mary Astafooroff, a fore-
most Freedomite: activist,
brought up the question of
English schools, whether
they were burned in the
community. Verigin under-
took to answer this.question.
He informed the public the
answer to this question is
contained in a letter Peter
Lordly sent to the Premier of
B.C., John Oliver, in 1924.

Verigin said the letter,
containing important data on
Doukhobor affairs, will be
published soon in the USCC
