“You may go ‘to Bethlehem. Front your desert dull and far, If you're not afraid to start, Following a star;

You may hear tlte angels sing, Out across the mystic bar,

I’ you only dare to go

Where the angels are.

Should you know n crowded inn,

Or perhaps a cottage low,

Some oppressed with human need,

Bitter with its woe,

There in service, you will find

Angel song and star u-glow,

Royal road to Bethlehem,

if you chnosc to go." Until Monday .

Good-night. . . .

toric battle this fine young Can- adian soldier turned to an Island buddy and said:

“Tom. shall we shake hands for the last time?"

Tom looked at his comrade, took tho proffered hand, but mnde no reply. It was a tense moment, a time when mere words could not express feelings. Out there in "No Man's Land" hell had ai- ready cut loose. The big guns were softening up the enemy's position. The air was filled with the thunder of their voices.

"Some day you'll be going back to the Island, Tom," continued the other. "I want you to go and see my family, and tell them just how it ‘appened. Break the ne'ws to them gently, 'l‘0m. Tell them that there are harder things to face than death." Then he grew silent, seemed to be lost in deep thoughts.

Tom locked into the face of his buddy. The hard lines were gone. and on his handsome young face was a look that spoke o! spiritual purity. Tom never saw such a look on a man's face before or since. lt was radiant. almost divine.

The boy from Curran Ban again took up the thread of his conversa- tion. "4

Once again it is the Christmas season. but the peace of the Holy Time is absent in many parts of ihc globe due to war and its atten- diint itiiserics. Where is the glor- ious ntossuge the An 01s brought ttnlo men on that lrst eve of Christmas. Anti what has become of the teachings of Jesus, the truths whereby men might follow in his footsteps and inherit the earth and dwell in love forever more. We must never lose sight oi’ the fact that, as Christians, we are obliged to act in the establishment of a Christian way of life. We can do that by setting an example to all our fellow-then. the example of truth, charity, justice, mercy, for- giveness. Let us remember to prac- tice this example not only at Christmas, but throughout the com- ing year of 1949.

Let us pray that on this Christ- mas, of 1948, the Spirit of the Prince of Peace will enllghten'the hearts of all mankind. May the M. tlons learn the futility of war, and may they be divinely Inspired to seek only that which Is worthwhile and lasting.

The career g... concept is foreign to Malay culture, ' but it is being accepted gradually, Some modern parents encmuagg their daughters to buckWrat-iitinn, More do so all the time. No Iﬂxiger does a Malay girl at l4 marry ti); man oi’ her parents‘ choice. Now she waits n. few years, does he; own choosing and marries for

love.

Nor does she veil her face. The Malay veil-scarf has becoilne a“ glamorous aid to coquetry rather than a dictate of custom. ' '

Malay women in Singapore m. mit that their Chinese aisters have led the way for them. .

Miss Salma Blnti Ismail is the first Malay girl ever to earn an M. D. degree from Slngapores King Edward VII College of Medicine." Now she ls practising at Alor Stat- generai hospital in up-country Kedah State.

Miss Hasmah Binie Mohamed All, 2.2, is a first-year medical student at the same college, the lone" Malay girl in a class of 8'1

men. "When I'm through." she says, "I’m going to specialize, probably in children." To Aid Villagers I-iasmah decided to. become" doctor during the Japanese 0t‘-

cupation, she says. "The people in the kampongs (villages) had no one to take care of them."

Hasmahs family worried about her coming to Singapore from her Kuala Lumpur home. but her mother encouraged both her and her older sister, Snlcha, to study. Saleha now is in England study- ing social service on a government scholarship.

At Raffles College the fctninine "nevoit” has n staunch ally in Mrs. P. C. Khew. She looks after _ girl students in residence fit Old Flagstaff House. Of her 30 girls only two are Malays. There arc only five in the whole colitgc. But i0 years ngoyihcre were none.

At the college level, Mrs. Khew snid. Malay women attain a dc- gree of self-reliance and independ- ence unknown 10 years ago.

Already they are making their influence felt. The Mohammedan religion, t0 which almost all Malay: adhere, permits a man to have several wives. But modern Malay women insist that their husband: have only one wife.
