THIsTweEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT
IT WILL WITHSTAND ALL SHOCK: The word of
the Lord endureth forever. —I Peter 1:25.
Merry Christmas!
Once again the happy Christmas season is here when,
more than any other time in the year, people are happy
and possessed with a more friendly attitude one toward
another. Regardless of how badly we may have faired
during the year, regardless of whatever sorrow we have
had to bear and whatever setbacks we encountered, one
outstanding event should keep our spirit up and our
memories happier—Christmas.
Os course, there will be some Scrooges who will say the
beautiful words “Peace on earth, goodwill toward men,”
“God bless you one and all,” and “Love thy neighbor” are
just empty words, words that are used only at Christmas
time and then forgotten for the rest of the year.
But what of it, and even if it is so, thank God for the
me wonderful week when the Christmas spirit pervades
and every one of us, even the Scrooges, cannot but be af
fected by the contagious Christmas spirit.
Some of us may have had what seems to be more than
our share of the burdens to bear. But one only needs to
look around a little to find someone else who, after all,
is even more unfortunate.
May we all “Love our neighbor,” let us have “Peace on
earth, goodwill toward men,” even if only a week or two.
To that end The Herald wishes for all its readers a very
Merry Christmas and a most prosperous New Year.

Heard & Seen
By “Buff”
Having arrived home Sunday from attending nay fath
er’s funeral in Pennsylvania, I want to hasten to thank
my and our friends for the many beautiful floral tributes
sent to the funeral, as well as for cards and personal
sympathy extended to me. To say the least, near rela
tives were comforted by the fact that he had won so
many friends during his brief stay in Edenton. I, more
than anyone else, will miss him, for he was a constant
companion since coming to Edenton to live. But, while
missing him, there is no little consolation in knowing
that he was perfectly happy and enjoyed living in Eden
ton during the latter days of his span of 82 years al
lotted him.
o
While in Pennsylvania I experienced no little embar
rassment. Having been away for over a quarter of a
century, and visiting occasionally only briefly, I lost
track of many of my relatives. It was rather embarrass
ing for a Bufflap to be introduced to a Bufflap, or for an
aunt, uncle or cousin to say, “Why, Edwin, don’t you re
member me?”
It happened, yes, it has happened, and at a time when
I could not be present. Major Bill Lucius made that
speech of his at the Rotary Club’s Christmas party
Thursday night. I knew it would happen some time or
other. I haven’t heard much about the speech other
than that it was rather long, and that’s why I wanted to
be present when he made it—so I could yank on his coat
tail to get him down. Anyway, he did a good deed, for
he pinch-hit for the guest speaker, who failed to show ,
up. The only trouble is that the Major paid for his
meal before he was called upon to speak. I make a mo
tion the Rotary Club refunds him the price of the meal,
for then I’ll owe him only two more meals for causing
his speech-making to be cancelled.
o
My friend, William P. Field, dropped in to see me the
other day while enroute from his home in Hector, N. Y.,
to Florida to spend the winter. • Last year he speiled off
a short poem, and again this time he had another one.
Here ’tis:
There was a man named Fisher,
Who fished for fish through a fissure,
The fish with a grin pulled the fisherman in—
Nowthey’refishingt^fiss^e^orF^sher.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
