But I a1n t1re yot1 ,vill b e in- tere ted to know that four women ac– cepted Christ as their Saviour at the hort service we had for tho e who can1e for a Christmas basket. We also \Vant to again praise the Lord for the joy of being able to make Christ– mas a little h appier for about 500 p eople . One of the e girls ha taken a stand for the Lord Jesus. Join t1s in prayer for the others , for after all , that is the sole purpose of the Door of Hope, a well as this Lighthouse, that ,ve may see many accept the Lord Jesus as their Saviour. Keep remembering us to Him." Our Door of Hope is fu ll and over– fl owing. We have an extra hospital bed that we can use in an emergency. We are now using it for just such a case. So, we now ha, 1 e five girls , each , ith h r ou;11 problems. Ot1r hearts l1ave bee11 sadd ned a we have talked with heartbroken 1nothers and girls. How thankful we are that we have the Lord Jesus to whom we can point them- the only One who can "heal the brokenhearted ." Luke 4: 18 I 'm sure it js hard on all of these motl1ers , but somehow I believe it must be worse for the mother of a thirteen year old. This emergency case we took in is a little girl thir– teen years of age. It is so hard for her to be separated from her mother and family. The poor dear cries a great deal of the time. I believe, how– ever, she is becoming more adjusted and seems to be better satisfied the last few days. ---- ------ WHE I CHURCH "Keep silence, for some have come to cast their care on God today And some to praise from thankful h earts; And some "Thy Kingdom come" to pray. Keep silence: Let Him speak anew to every heart-p erhaps to you.
