This celestial message of peace, record.-d over nineteen centuries ago. came to n world where peace and good will were virtually un known. The. Jewish kingdoms, long divided greed and conquest and smarting under Ro man oppression, were looking for freedom and the restoration of their empire* There wi< plots, intrigues, wars and rum;as of war throughout the world Mankind was looking and hoping for peace. The trouble then, as it is now, was that, although during the dark days that ushered iu the Christian era mankind needed and want* ed peace, it did not them and does not now, really know the meaning of peace, its or;gin or what it- entails. The history of mankind has been darkened by the belief ' peace must conic through oppression, selfishness, bloodshed and con quest. The Jews had been promised a deliverance from their conquerors, a re -establishment of their kingdoms, a reign of peace and prosper ity, Their barren hearts had visualized a migh ty army of chariots and horses by which an angel of war would vanquish all of their < n emir-s They did not. because they could not, ac cept the teachings and leadership of Christ because it was foreign to their hclirfs and hopes, even though those beliefs and hopes were the primary cause i;t their enslavetn- ot, And although the 1 - raid angels song "Prnre on earth, good will to men. \ in orde r that mao <tr Why Lieutennant Massey’s Refusal? We are at a loss to determine why police lieutenant 1. C. Massey refused to witness the signatures to the warrants that were sworn out against Buford E. Dennis, accused loan com pany president. As an officer of the law wc don't see why he would be a Pilate and at tempt to wash his hands. There an- ■> lot of suggested questions. When did he get to the place that, he could shirk a duty? Who is Dennis that Massey re fuses to sign a warrant? Does he have any con nections with Dennis or any other loan com pany? These are all questions that should !v answered. Chief Torn Davis could have him set our minds at ease by investigating. To pass the buck to a woman who sc ye h<? Tar Heel Problems Aired When Governor Hodges railed all of North Carolina's lawmakers who represented the state in Washington, he might have had some thing. We think that much could come out of the meeting, but Charles F, Carroll, Superin tendent of Public Instru- tion might be invit ing trouble for the state if he expects Congress to build separate schools. Dr Carroll predicted that new legislation was in the offing to provide aid in school house construction. He told the solons that be felt that there would be an effort to tic in with the enforcement of the Supreme Court’s seg teg a ton decisions. Dr. Carroll's memory must be very short. He must have forgotten what happened to the last bill that was proposed for aid to schools by the Federal government. He must not. have read the results of the last election when Ne groes flocked to the polls to vote against eon ' gressmen who even kept company with pro ponents of legislation that would point toward segregation. Dr. Carroll must not have heard President Eisenhower’s statement on the night of elec tion. It must not have dawned on hm that northern Democrats, fearful of their necks in 10SR. have formed a eolation to fight all th< harder for'integration, Mr. Eisenhower and the congress have received a mandate from the people, a great number in the south, to con tinue their work of democracy. Dr Carroll could well be weaving the web that will see North Caorolina elect Republican congress men, to a large degree, in 1958. Highway chairman A H Graham showed much concern over the highway program. He was much concerned over the new director of the U. S.

He would not accept it then he does not accept it now. The Prince of Peace is also the Prince of Love, Without love there can be no peace. Christ came to proclaim the peace that is based on the Fatherhood of God and the Bro therhood of Man. Man can never enjoy the peace that God bestows through. Christ until he has learned to love God with all his hea’t and bis neighbor as himself. Today, mankind is looking to his armies •md his navy*., his air might .nri defense posts for salvation. He is depending upon his battle strength for peace. Although his faith in ma le rial weapons paralell that of Jesus, who re jected Christ s interpretation of peace over 19 centuries ago, roan’s hypocracy permits him to condemn the brutal treatment inflict ed by th< Jesus upon the body of Christ The woild today at this Christmas time seems to be dark and devoid of peace and good will. War clouds, stimulated by man’s .-tg( old enemies, selfishness, hatred, lust and greed, have not been dissipated by the might of armies or the threats of massive retaliation. But the promise of peace, blessed peace, is still ours to accept wheat vet we are willing to open, our hearts and receive it. The coming of Christ on earth was announced by messengers of pt ace. When He was preparing to leave the earth. He said “My peace I give unto you, not as the world give* peace." Mankind will enjoy the benefits of the an gr’m message “Peace on earth good will to men” when he prepares his heart to receive I has as much authority as she does is not the doings of a knight. Wc art glad Mrs. Wrerm said that lie had no right, to refuse to sign the warrants. . 11. We don't quite see why Solicitor R. L. Mc- Millan did not cause the 60 warrants to he drawn, if he had reason to believe that he had committed 60 crimes. Crime is crime and it does not matter who perpetrates one, or upon whom they are per petrated. they should be made to answer to. If ilii: state banking laws have been violated 60 times then hr sho u1 d me charged 60 times. The solicitor owes it to the people of North Carolina to call Dennis in question on ev< ry count-' he would do about the regulation with respect to inter-state highway system. He wants the money spent on a formula basis, rather than need, because the more densely populated part of ihe country might get more than North Carolina. We are interested in a good high way system but we are afraid of any program that tends to favor any section over another. An overall program for all the highways of the nation should be adopted. North Carolina should get the same consideration as Maine or Florida. Dr, Ellen Winston told of the needs of the Welfare Department. We should like to add that: careful study should be given to reha bilitation Somewhere there should be a pro gram that lures those who fall into the toils of the tew. We have too many repeaters. We know it is as old as mankind to talk about it.. We know that conferences on top of con ferences are held on it, but. there must be some solution to this ever present problem. Too many persons are sent to prison for minor of fenses and come, out to committ major crimes. Whether welfare and rehabilitation can work out a plan should be explored to its fullest extent. Society is called upon to pay too great a toll to these culprits. The solons praised Governor Hodges for calling the meeting. We are inclined to go along with them, but we are hoping that those who attended the meeting will approach all the problems with open minds. We are not as naive about Senator Scott's appraisal as a lo cal reporter. He did not committ himself as to what he would do when they came to Washington with the program. We shall be watch the results and we shall be watching the agencies that will be affected. ‘CongressCan Finish The Job With Civil Rights Legislation” By Rev. R. Irving Boons ‘ TUT KINGDOM COME” The blessed Advent, herald ing the glad tidings that .Jems Christ is born, serves, once a gain, to focus attention on the matchless principles enunciat ed in the teachings of the world's Saviour. It serves, also to point up the fact of the pressing need for a more seri ous application of these prin ciples in the daily lives of men and women, If our world is to emerge from its present awful plight, humanity must hasten in its acceptance of the teachings laid down by the Prince of Peace and proceed, without de lay. in the urgent business of paving the way for the coming of the Kingdom of our God and His Christ. .Lack of sincerity in the mat - tors of the Kingdom and in the practices of countless individ uals who profess belief in Christianity lies at the root of many of our present, day ills. Our foremost, statesmen, mili tary leaders, and scholars, in many instances, are simply moving in circles; they have By HAMILTON T. BOSWELL A CHRISTMAS MEDITATION That is a tragic note in the dramatic Nativity story when it was written. “She brought, forth her first born son . , . and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.” The little town cf. Bethlehem, it would appear, was so busy making prepara tion for the census ordered u,y Ccasar Augustus, until they had time fur little else. They wc-e overly concerned about making room for the Bethie hemites who would be cumin;; back and were arriving daily greatly swelling the traffic ,n the otherwise quiet little town of Bethlehem. So obsessed went they in the ass. irs «nd prob lem# of a suddenly increased population, until it never oc culted to any that God would use the occasion as a back ground for the greatest act of Gou among men. The Innkeeper was typical -if the excited citizenry of Bet .He item. He was busy. Evidently he mused quietly within him self as he thought of how much buxines# he would have. They should do il move often and census was a godsend. Then an innkeeper could really mane some money. The result of his greed was that he was so b.,sv un.il he did not notice that weary couple, ladened with faces lined from the sroin of their trip. It might have been that they were not likely cu.;- toino is, so he shunned them to a stable but God had sent them to an inn' In the pre-occupa tion with his business he over looked the most outstanding guest his inn could have ever accommodated, He was just too busy! E v om the fate of the Bethle hem innkeeper, whose ignor ance robbed him of a name in history, our age can indeed fin*: an important lesson. We too ye so busy getting ahead, so im bued With our own rniijr' >;;d purpoaea flecking a goal of self •atlifflction d fulfillment to* THE CAROLINIAN no answer for our complicated situations. Their helplessness .strikingly reveals the fact th ? too long, we have been treated by quack doctors instead of by the Great Physician. , The quack, remedies which humanity has been taking, like aspirin, ease the pain only tem porarily, but do not uproot the cause and cure the disease. We need a remedy that can com pletely cure, even in the ad vanced stage of our cancerous like world ills. Humanity's blood stream needs to be puri fied and its organismic struc ture and behavior need to be corrected. Sedatives are made,- quale: we need a real panacea a cure-all remedy. Our sin sick world is in need of the ‘'bains in Gilead.” The Kingdom of God is in deed the goal, of Christian is >: similarly, it is basically, the main point of emphasis of the season called Christmas. Upon a recognition and acceptance of this truth depend the sta bility and security of our so cial order. Let. men and wo men, the world over', accept 'he often is but a vain illusion. There were, however, in the drama of the first Christ®," those who though they were busy, were yet not too busy to Catch the signal or read the signs of the times. The bless* d among us are those whose liven are kept, busy yet net too I far new discoveries. Such we:e the wise men, astroloi ' ancient Persia Their lives . busy with the importance of tlu.ir work The strange star in the Cast was a challenge > > them, and they left, their instru ments and charts to pursue the meaning of a star which went before them. The reward of their quest w.r* the high privilege of sharing the ushoring in of a new ami which came in Jesus Christ. Along the ancient hills of Ju dea there were shepherds, busy with the care of sheep. Yet de spite the heavy responsibility of n shepherd, they were not so busy that angels with tin ir songs of “peace on earth”, could not stir their hearts that t!v y ■ too weftt to behold his face Cud can only use busy people, but just those whose businc < is not just with self, but with the larger purposes and ends of life. It in befitting for each of us In this Christmas season to take inventory of what we do, ihe Why of it. all and its deeper pin - poses. Right before our very eyes, something great can !. opening, but frequently we me too busy, that Is bury gelling ahead, that we eanont see it. Whet was before us passes by as we had not eyes t» see or cur* to hear. This has been the fate of many who in despon dency over some lost opportun ity have brooded over rnisfor* . tune and hurt. It is rather th*> great end.; ■vui purposes of lifg which are to be chosen over any cause of self.

This )# what Christ principles of the Kingdom of Christ, and we shall immedi ately witness a new day, Tol erance, equality, peace and goodwill then, and not until then will become instant r* al ities.. The contempt of the King dom of Christ ignores the fall acy of superiority and tha myth of inferiority of races or nations, and it transcend.-! ail superficial barriers, designed to intimidate or ostracize one's iVJlowman. The Kingdom pro gram is dedicated, without ex ception. to the great deni of the fatherhood of God. and the brotherhood of man. Selfishness, prejudices, hatr ed. in the hearts of men and women constitute the real ob struction to the fulfillment of the Christmas season. Until men’s hearts changed; until Christianity as taught, by Christ is really ap plied in human relations: until men learn to live as brothers, all other devices, designed to lift lhe world out of its terrible plight, pill prove futile and of no a mas can nvrn today to those win. seek the Christmas o! th* suephei'ds, busy, but not too busy to see the hand of God at wo. l k among men, Conte this Christmas for many persons will be 'just another day An other day in which as always tor larger things of life «.« Sacrificed for .selfish concern, and once again God Will ,?a ' I heir, by, and they know tud what fortune was at hand.
