A Time For Rejoycing
J. E. Taylor
Christmas is borne anew each
>ear within the hearts of men.
What a time for
rejoicing! What
a time for us to
lift our eyes and
behold the won
drous star of
the East—bril
liant in its glory
as it has shown down through
the ages to quicken the hearts of
hopeless men.
When the spirit of Christmas
—peace and gladness and joy—
invades our hearts, driving out
selfishness, it is a good time for us
to again thing of the priceless gift
God gave to the world and again
rededicate our lives to His service
of our fellowmen. We can help
make every part of the world safe
and happy for its inhabitants
through the combined spiritual
strength of all right thinking in
dividuals.
I certainly hope that each of
)ou and your loved ones have a
most Happy Christmas and that
the New Year has stored up for
you an abundance of the finer
things in life.

Wilson Employees Aid
Patients At Eastern
The second shift employees of
the Wilson Division raised enough
money to furnish fifteen subscrip
tions to The Greensboro Daily
News for the patients at the East
ern North Carolina Sanatorium.
They recently received the follow
ing letter from Mr. H. F. Easom,
M. D., the Medical Director of the
hospital:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of our patients
I wish to take this opportun
ity to thank your group for
your thoughtfulness and gen
erosity in providing fifteen
subscriptions to The Greens
boro Daily News for the en
joyment of our patients dur
ing the past year. Besides giv
ing them the news every day
! you have boosted their mo
rale considerably by letting
them know through your gift
that people on the outside of
the hospital are interested in
them and want to do what
they can to help them through
their illness.
! Best wishes to each of you.
And it came to pass in those
days, that there ivent out a de
cree from Caeser Augustus, that
all the world should be taxed . . .
And all went to he taxed, every
one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from
Galilee, out of the city of Naz
areth, into Judea, unto the city
of David which is called Bethle
hem, {because he was of the house
and lineage of David), to be tax
ed with Mary his espoused wife,
being great with child. And so
it ivas that, while they were there,
the days were accomplished that
she should be delivered. And
she brought forth her firstborn
son; and wrapped him in swad
dling elothes, and laid him in a
manger; because there was no
room for them in the inn.
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 is born this day in the
city of David, a Savior, which is
Christ the Lord. And this shall
be a sign unto you; ye shall find
the babe ivrapped in swaddling
clothes, lying in a manger.”
And suddenly there was with
the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and
saying, “Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace, good
will toward men.”
And it came to pass, as the
angels were gone away from them
into heaven, the shepherds said
one to another, let us now go
even unto Bethlehem, and see this
thing which is come to pass,
which the Lord hath made known
unto us.
And they came with haste, and
found Mary, and Joseph, and the
Babe lying in a manger. .And
ivhen they had seen it, they made
known abroad the saying which
was told them concerning this
child. And all they that heard
it wondered at these things which
were told them by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things,
and pondered them in her heart.
And the shepherds returned, glori
fying and praising God for all
the things that they had heard
and seen, as it ivas told unto
them.

Let Us Keep Christmas

time of year, with its own mean

reflect on the
things that
have happened
during the

The late Peter Marshall, chap

from 1947 to 1949, said this in
one of his Christmas services:
“So we will not ‘spend’ Christ
mas . . . not ‘observe’ Christmas.
We will ‘keep’ Christmas—^keep
it as it is . . . may we keep it
in our hearts, that we may be
kept in its’ hope.”

Despite the wars of the world,
peace is always abroad at Christ
mas time. Quietly, beneath the
clamors of the season, a subtle
stream of peace is flowing.
To sense it and partake of it
is to enjoy the true spirit of
Christmas. When we consider
that this feeling of peace was
first generated on a quiet hillside
in Bethlehem . . . that it has last
ed over nineteen hundred years
. . . that men of all time and
many faiths have shared its glow
each Christmas since then . . .
that neither wars nor other ca
lamities have ever extinguished
it, then we begin to perceive the
greatness of the miracle that is
Christmas.
May all of us this Christmas
share the peace that belongs so
intimately to the season, the peace
that stirs the heart to happiness
and fills the world with hope.
