Now night has terror, struggle, and discord In hearts of all who will not praise His name; Arrogant men who do not love His word, In Europe, Africa, Asia, of sea— America—the world—some are not free! While peace and faith fill hearts of all who will Make room for Christ; The Everlasting Light Shone in the tranquil night. 'Tis shining still To lead and guide wise in paths of right! At Christmas Christ is here. He will not cease Until He teach the world His way of peace! among Isles men Beta Sigma Phi Holds Meeting On December 6, the Milford new chapter of Beta Sigma Phi held their bi-monthly meeting at the home of Jeanette Von Goerres.

TWO-WAY GENEROSITY RIDGELAND, S. C. t (Æ*) — Chris topher Columbus Orr, 106-year-old Negro who was never a slave, says his bread cast upon the waters has come back. Orr, born free in 1848, looked after Confererate. horses during the war, worked aft.erward most of his life in sawmills, lived always on the place where he was bom. During his working life he built up a reputation for generosity to his people, always letting others in need charge food and farm items to his accounts. With age his earning ability waned, he sold much of his land, and last year his small frame house almost collapsed. Today, he has a new frame house, built'mostly with materials and labor friends of both races con tributed. He recalls both white and Negro people used to warn him against his generous ways, but that he al ways said in reply that if he ever became destitute, "I don't believe they'd let me suffer." 6 Sf ¥ ¥ ¥ I There is a chapel high in the Ba varian Alps in which services £r, held each Sunday for mountain climbers and skiers. are Z3L Stille l$orbö (or Œoùap : ; 1 CORINTHIANS 13:13 r « So faith, hope, love abide, these three: but the greatest of these is love." (RSV) \ * I What is it that Christ has done for us? Christ the author and finisher of our faith brings us face to face with our merciful loving Father. We realize that love for God and love for one's fellows go hand in hand. God has been pictured to us as a God of wrath, a God of anger, a stern judge demanding justice. God may be pictured to us as one who punishes us when we break His commandments, but this is not the picture Christ gives "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." St. John in one of his letters puts it this way, "In this is love, not that we loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son. People knew of the mercy and love of God before Christ for God has never been without witness, mercy reacheth unto the heavens, loveth his own children so is God merciful". How ever the men of Christ's day and those before them for the most part talked of a God of judgement, a God of punishment, a God of justice who would give give people what they deserved. In the parable of the Laborers in the vineyard when the workmen received the same wages whether they worked hour or ten, our Lord has shown us that God i than just. Now men know that God is merciful, that God is love.. We may still prefer our mean notions of God as a stern judge but in so far as we do are less than Christian. Christ has helped men the world over to travel the "more excellent way" which St. Paul describes in his famous chapter on love. now us. 99 tt His PP tt As a father one is more we The Rev.

Lloyd Willcox determined, to his and a lawyer's distaste, that a jar, which original ly contained pickled pigs' feet, more recently had been put to other uses. Police testified they suspected woman, charged with possessing untaxed whisky, of pouring the jar's contents down a drain when she saw- them approach her house. The defendant's lawyer contended the film of clear liquid covering the bottom of the jar was water. Willcox ordered a cup aftd sug gested he and the lawyer sample the dregs. The lawyer gingerly took the first sip and his fallen face left little doubt of the outcome, which was settled as soon as Will cox tasted and grimaced.
