Pleasant Memories Of Christmas Feast The students of Gardner-Webb were entertained at a Christmas banquet, December 16, 1948, spon sored by the B.S.U. The dining hall was decorated with blue and white streamers hung from the ceiling. Each table had a small cedar tree sprinkled with arti ficial snow for a centerpiece and white candles to furnish light. A lot of work had been done to ward planning the program for the evening. As the students were enter ing and finding their places, the College choir sang, “Silent Night,” “While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks,” and “Joy To The World.” When everyone had found their places, Mr. Elliott returned thanks. The menu was a well-planned one. It consisted of Christmas bird with trimmings, Christmas greens with reds, Holiday fruit salad, filled with goodies,” “the drink that cheers,” and “merriment rolls.” The entertainment committee had program planned that was of _ :eat interest. First came Miss Cuthbertson who gave x:is a reading entitled, “The Littlest Angel.” The choir sang four selections after Miss Cuthbertson’s reading. They were: “Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light,” by Bach; “Joseph Came Seek ing A Resting Place,” by Willoughby; ‘The Holly and The Ivy,” by Bough- on; and “The Shepherd’s Story,” by Dickinson. Following this, Santa Claus came with a bag full of gifts for every one. We all had a good time open ing our gifts. After leaving the dining hall, everyone went caroling. The carol ing lasted for almost an hour, and then everyone came back to the dining hall for hot chocolate and and cookies. Some wasps build their nest dur ing the week in a Scotch clergyman’s best breeches. On the Sabbath as he warmed up to his preaching, the wasps, too, warmed up, with the result that presently the minister was leaping about like a jack in the box, and slapping his lower anatomy of the congregation. “Be calm, brethren,” he shouted. “The word of God is in my mouth, but the Devil’s in my breeches!” MODERN CLEANERS PICK UP and DELIVERY SERVICE ALTERATIONS Boiling Springs, N.

Many people have spent great fortunes and most of their lives in the quest. Foolishly perhaps, but in a sense quite naturally, many of these peo ple have expected to find the stimu lant for perpetual youth in a bab bling brook or a so-called fountain of youth. Some have searched the stars and planets of an infinite uni verse for their fountain of youth. And others have plowed through the tedious and thrilling fields of sci ence and philosophy and theology for their foundation. Many noble persons who other wise would have lived much longer perhaps have died of exposure and experiment in such a quest. These lives were adventurous ones, and their discoveries have meant much to the progress of civilization. And although they did not find exactly what they were looking for, they did find a fountain of youth which they failed to recognize as such. This fountain of which we speak is a fountain of knowledge, avail able to any man who will open his heart and mind to the needs of his day and the promising vitalities of his future. A man of thirty or forty or more started to high school, and at first he had no Idea why, except that he wanted an education. After going to school for two years, he was ask- ed by a friend. Why, Why, Why in | the world are you going to school ■ at your age? Much to the surprise of the friend, the man of thirty or forty or more said he was going to school to preserve his youth. It was the knowledge he was gain ing and the personal contact he was having with young people that caus ed him to stand in line at the hall fountain and to sip freely from its stream and to realize finally that this was his fountain of youth— this environment, this atmosphere, this enthusiasm of youth and this dignity of knowledge. This man of thirty or forty or more, who had studied the same texts and had played the same games and had talked the same language as the youth of his high school and now his college, realized it is not the number of years borne Conference Games Individual Scoring FG FT Youth For Year by a man’s body that makes a per son old, but rather, it is the idle mind and the lazy spirit that breaks a man’s back and heart. He realized that youth is not a characteristic of the physically im mature, but that it is an attitude of the mentally alert. After looking at this first fountain of youth, the fountain of knowledge, the man of thirty or forty or more turned to its twin fountain of youth, the fountain of eternal life itself. He proclaimed gladly, convincingly that without the knowledge of the love of God and the sacrifice unto glory it self of His Son, Jesus Christ, we fountain of youth. Through knowledge, belief, con fession, reptotance, andtfaith we are born into life everlasting, into youth eternal, the man of thirty or forty or more proclaimed. The same is true in spiritual life as well as in physical life, he added. If we stop the growth of knowledge, we stop the growth of the spirit in a very exacting sense. He knew—this man of thirty or forty or more—he knew, for he had dared represent the deepest truths of God and His Son without realiz ing the fullest depths of those truths or the surest expression of their values. His was an honest effort, but a definitely limited one. As a result, the man who would dare be young and true and hope ful, looked to a new 1949 and chal lenged his young heart and mind and spirit to grow in Grace and knowledge; to brace these parallel qualities of growth with the rungs of faith; to form a ladder that would ultimately ascend to Heaven; and to drink freely and unceasingly from these twin fountains of youth along that ascension. This is the way to stay young. This is the way to live forever. Others will see your good works. Others will follow your example. Others will then realize the living truth—that Grace without knowl edge is like faith without works, just as knowledge without Wisdom is like man without God. Our man of thirty or forty or more proclaimed these convictions in his resolutions for a New Year; and above all he found these truths to be self-evident, quite self-evident, with each new day of this young new Willis Moon Hullender Hamrick Shook Bush Cline Peeler McSwain Key I For a girl, courtship consists of I keeping a man at arm’s length while [ getting a strangle hold around his CRAWLEY'S STORE New Merchandise Arriving Daily —USE OUR LAY-AWAY PLAN NOW— Boiling Springs, N.
