He was arrested 'Sunday after'
noon near Bowden less than 30
minutes after he broke into H. A.
Parker's store at Bowden and took
$365 in cash and several money
orders from the Post Office which
Is in Parker's store.
This Is the third time Hamm has
broken into the Parker Store. He
is curently on probation for his

Here in America we have for

to the church for the Christ

Christ. Today with the commer

the people their need for this or
that as a gift for their loved one,
perhaps we have lost some of
the importance of Christmas and
it's meanirui. We need to come
back to the story of the Christ
child and become "as little chi
ldren with our eyes all aglow
and the heavenly l-."t upon our
faces." Christmas is every day
and everywhere as we experi
ence the love of Christ in our
lives and for us. As I look at my
own life from the time that Ch-,

every day has been like Christ

everyday the happiness that we

Ik Strangest Man That Ever Lived
JOHN J. WICKER, D. D. President Emeritus
Fork Union Military Academy
Fork Union, Virginia
He never enjoyed a Christmas but if He had not
lived, there never would have been a Christmas for
anyone.
. . . i 1 1 i 4. i :
tie never had a ousineps yei me uesi uubuiessTii
the year comes at ChristrMas JnYie because of Him.
He never had a toy but He has caused more toys
to be made, which have given more joy to more children
and more employment to more people than any other
man that ever lived.
He rarely, if ever, received any gifts but every
year for more than nineteen hundred years He has in
spired the gviing of more gifts than any other person in
history.
He never hung up his own stocking at Christmas
if in fact He ever had a stocking yet He has caused
more stocking to be hung up at Christmas than all other
men who ever lived.
When he was a mere infant, his parents had to flee
to a foreign country to save his life but He has given
more joy to millions of children than any other man in
all the world.
He was often hungry and never had bountiful
food but at Christrnas and Easter, He brings more
sweets into more homes and more bounty on more
tables, more laughter and song ever where, than any
other man of all time.
He never went to school, so I. we know but
He has caused thousands of schools, colleges and uni
versities to be erected all over the world.
He did not leave a single written line, and all that
is known of what He said could be put on one page of a
metropolitan newspaper but He as shed more light
on things human and divine than all the educators and
philosophers of ancient and modern Aimes.
He never wrote a book or saw a library but He
has caused more books to be written and read than any
other man in the world's history.
He had no dictionary but lie has given birth to
more good words and cast the shadow of reproach on
more bad ones than any other man.
He knew nothing of architecture but He has in
spired the conception and erection of the most magni
ficent cathedrals and cih.r bu..:'.:ful buildings on
face of the earth.
He knew nothing cf zrt yet has awakened
the genius in the world's greatest artists and has in
spired more works of art in more famous galleries than
any other man.
He knew nothing of medicine yet He healed the
sick of every type of disease, caused the blind to see,
' ? to hear, the dumb to speak; and even brought
the dead to life.
He never heard an orato' io or a grnd opera but
He has prompted the writing of the greatest hymns
songs of joy and oratorios, that have ever been heard.
He never owned any of this world's pood but
wealth has multiplied wherever H has become known.
He was never more than a hundred miles from his
birthplace after his infancy but His fame for nearly
fcwehty centuries has spread into every part of the
vfarld, .
He was offered the kindgoms of the whole world -but
He'preferred the humble life and a spiritual kin -eom&'t't,
