ft: 15) My second Christmas Day in Central Africa has come to a close, and while 1 thought of and prayed for you all in the homeland. 1 was conscious of the fact that you were doing the for me here. We were therefore united in spirit and in prayer even though absent in body. How very different this Christmas was from that of last year at Aba! Yon will recall how ko many were ill at Aba last year, and how much of the time was spent caring for the sick (In the wee hours of the morning). There was also a goodly number of mission aries at Aba for luncheon Christmas Day.

Here it was altogether different this year there were but four of Mr. and Mrs. Richardson and myself (five Including baby Joyce). For the past week or so none of us have been feeling extra well sun seems stronger than ever and everyone seems to feel it- -so we contribute all to the season -the humidity and all that goes with -o we have all been up and down However, we all felt much better yesterday, and were able to give the natives a good day.

We purchased a cow from he chief for a pound and gave them meat a treat-and how thev did enjoy We made it clear that all from Lord and in the message they were again reminded that God gave all such us water.
