Ceral Contractors Phone 523-W THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER MERRY CHRISTMAS The Ground of Universal Joy HIGHLIGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON By NEWMAN CAMPBELL (The International. Uniform Lesson on the above topic for De cember 24 Is Luke 8-12, He brews 1:1-4; I John 1:1-4, the Golden Text being Luke 2:10, "Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people.") THIS IS the time of year when our S' nday School lesson includes that ely story of the shepherds wat... g their flocks in the dark of night, when the angel came to tell them of the birth of Christ. We know it by heart, and yet love to read as it is written: "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding In the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. "And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. "And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold I bring you good tidings of great Joy, which shall be to all people. "For unto you la born this day In the City of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." Can you Imagine how the world would be without this Saviour, Jesus? Every year we celebrate Hla birthday, and no matter what terrible things are going on In the world wars, rumors of wars grief and heartbreak we are of fered, with His birth, the hope of peace and told to "fear not." Tidings of Great Joy "Fear not, for I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people." Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could rest in the belief that Jesus will take Care of us; that there Is nothing in the world we need fear? Do you re member the lesson In which Jesus walked on the water to the boat in which hla apostles were fright ened because the water was very rough. When He reached them He said: "Tia I. Be not afraid." When this writer was a child we sang a hymn in church In which this saying was the refrain after each verse. It was always a favor ite. Our religionour belief In God and Jesus should bring us Joy. No longer Is it thought that to be a Christian is to go around with a long face. We should be happy, hopeful, even when trouble comes; we should he Joyous, especially at this season of the year. Jesus came to bring every one joy good tidings. Why did the angels, choose the shepherds to receive their mes sage? These shepherds, we are told, were tending their sheep on the very slopes where David, Jesus' ancestor, had tended his. when he was taking care of his father's flocks. Shepherds were simple, hone.it men. working hard for a living, and they would re ceive the message without ques tion. So-called wise men, priests and others educated in the law and priestly teachings, would not have believed and gone hopefully to the manger to find the Baby. Only a very few, like these sim ple shepherds and the three wise men, believed and went to adore the Babe. Announces Jesus' Coming The same angel, probably, had announced some months previous ly, to Mary, that she would bear such a wondrous Child ond that His name should be called "Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins." We do not know from what place Paul wrote the epistle to the Hebrews. In It he remind them that God at sundry timea has spoken to the fathers of the He brews to Moses, to the various prophets, etc. But Hei hath, "In these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds." Jesus came to earth. Paul never knew Him in His earthly guise, but John did, John the beloved disciple, who Is said to have out lived all the others and to have been close to 100 years of age w'hen he died. In his first epistle he speaks of seeing Jesus with his own eyes, of touching Him. It recalls the last supper, when John "leaned on the Master's bosom." These are the highlights of this lesson: our nearness to Jesus; the casting away of our fears, and the hope of the coming of peace on earth, good will to men.

Rice, formerly a missionary to China, the wife of the resident surgeon at Hugh Cha'thani Memorial Hospital at Elkin, will be the speakers. The evening service will begin with a banquet at the college at 7:30 with Bishop Clare Purcell as the speaker. This will be a toy man's banquet similar to that held at Cullowhe last February when more than 300 laymen were pres ent. Prof. Guy L. Houck, district lay leader, and associate lay leaders, Dean W. S. Bird and Prof. Homer Henry, are making elaborate plans fpr this meeting. They are expect ing 400 laymen to attend. Each pastor is urged to send the number of laymen who will be present from his-.charge to Dean Bird by January 1. It is regretted that the college dining room facilities will not per mit the attendance of the women at the banquet. However, the wo men are requested to bring sand wiches and coffee and tea will be provided and luncheon will be serv ed at the church, after which the ladies will join the men in the col lege auditorium to hear the clos ing address by Bishop Purcell. A young man was bitterly com plaining of women who did men's work. In the midst of his tirade, two women on the outskirts of the crowd greeted each other with a resounding kiss: Orator There! That's another case of a -woman doing a man's work!
