of tile ' nicest things about
Christmas are the surprises—es-
. pecially that card you didn’t ex

Christmas is that its true sig

as the Christmas tree withers
and begins to shed . . . Dennis
the menace, of comic strip fame,
offers irrefutable proof that.
there is a Santa Claus. Dennis
is showing Margaret, his ilittle
girl frici.d, the toys Santa
brought him Says Denn.s,
“Well, that PROVES there’s aj
Santa Claus! ’Cause my foiks j

this stuff!” ... I almost dislike!
to unwrap a Christmas gift. J
They’re so beautifully wrapped,:
gayly beribboned and tied in so
extravagant bows, it seems a pity
to spoil such a work of the
wrapper’s art—even to get at

The Christmas tree has been

Os Chnstmas and Santa on their j

Poultry Situation
I was struck by the manner
I with which Secretary of
j Health, Education and Welfare
handled the poultry situation re
cently as an example of what
jwe get at times from Wash-
I ington bureaucracy. Here was
a Federal Department making a'
I blanket indictment of the poul-
I try industry so vital to North
Carolina when it had been in
formed clearly that no indict-j
ment was justified insofar as
| North Carolina was concerned.!

tary Flemming about the silua-l
tion. He had been informed of
Ihe facts in the matter. When
asked at his news conference
about fie situation in North Car
olina, he is reported as saying
that he did not wish to discuss
specific areas. Simple justice'
should have directed other action
to exc'udc North Carolina from
the blanket indictment. The
pou’hy industry and agricultural
leaders in North Carolina were
justifiably upset by this pro
cedure.
No doubt Lie promoters of the
big Feder.i government concept
will produce the?: - usual volume
of bills when Congress convenes.
The urge wi!i be strong during
this election year to further re
duce the -dates to meaningless
zeros on the map. Every con
ceivable approach will be tried.
Should these bills Drevail, the
crariberry and poultry confusion
created by Washington bureau
cracy will look benign by com
parison.
Goodness never fails to re-;
ceive its reward, tor goodness
makes life a blessing.

"To him that overeometh
evil will I give to eat of the
hidden manna" (The Reve
lation 2:17).
' The word translated “over
come” in this verse is “nikao,”
and it means to conquer. This!
is our Lord’s message to the i
Church: Not “compromise;” nc. j
“got along with the world;” not
“don’t raise a fuss;” not “try 1j
be a Christian if it doesn’t in
terfere with your business or,
your social standing,” but CON-]
QUER!
Jesus Christ is not pleased !
with this weak-kneed, marked
down for-quick-sale brand of
religion so popular today, that'
lives at peace with the world,,
the flesh, and the devil. He'
commands us to Overcome, to 1
Conquer. This world is in 1
friend of God, end there is some ,
thing the matter with the Cb. M-i-l
t'an upon whom it ic-kj with]
favor.
“I know where thou dwellest,”.
said Jems to the saints at Per
garr.os. ‘even where Satan’s seat
is” (--erse 13). He says, in cf- j
feet, “I knew your circum-1
stances, your difficulties, but stillj
I expect you to conquer. So

Satan seeming’secure on h : s 1

is witnin us is greater than
they that be against us. We for
get that every great Holy Spirit
revival in history, from Pente
cost to ! .c-r present, has taken

Whai does Jesus mean by “the
hidden manna?” The profess
ing Christians at Pergamos were
so busy gorging themselves from
the fleshpnts cf Egypt that they
were unable to see the manna j
provided by the Lord, which
alone can satisfy the gnawing)
hungei of the famished human j
soul.
