mere is joy in each new step of
Itrtmth sad achievement of their
child.

1S73-1912. is made each year at
this time; and will be taken In our
church this Si^pday- Dec. 20.
Miss Lottie Moon was born in
December. 1840. and converted and
baptired at the age of 16. She
felt the call to foreign missions
Service while teaching school in
Georgia and was appointed to
serve in Chin* fn 1373. Her work
was carried on is sc beef and by
house-to-hotiSe visitation Even
before the Woman’s Missionary
Union was organised. Miss Moon
wrote several letters urging the
women to institute s week of pray-
er and five an Offering Just before
Christmas. She wrote, “isn’t the
festive season, when family and
friends exchange gift* in memory
of the Gift, the most appropriate
time to coo seer ate • portion to
send forth the gond Udlftg* of gi
Joy to all the woridf"
