w^nhed Weekly on Throw C. M. DOUGLAS Offices in The News C. M. DOUGLAS.Editor MISS A. TROW BRIDGE.. Associate SUBSCRIPTION RATES Per Year.|1.00 Six Months . -8® LETTER TO ' SANTA CLAUS Dear old Santy: Bring us a great fcig bag of goodness. We don’t want any new automobiles, street cars or steam boats. We can get along fairly well without these things, but we’re short on just plain goodness. If you can find time to drop by Brevard on your trip <(own next week, and leave us a big sack full of goodness, we will be able to get all the other things we need. Just leave the sack of goodness on the square, anywhere along in front of the court house or on the corner in front of Macfie’s or Long's, and then all of our folk can drop by Christmas morning and get a little p.nch of it to take home. After we get the goodness and have taken a dose of it, we’ll be able to step doing all those niggardly little things that we have been try ing to make ourselves believe for a long time bring us personal gratifica tion We’re actually tired of using the kind of stuff that same onery scamp has been leaving in Brevard, that has a sort of sweet taste when we take it, but always leaves such a nasty twang in our throats, makes us havs the most nauseating grouch-her.d aches, indigestion with its resultant gout, and a tendency 10 bite people on the back. I/ , We apologize for bothering you right now, when we realize you are so awfully busy, but believe if you really knew how badly wc need a bag of goodness you would actually feel sorry for us instead of wanting to call us down for pestering you at this time. You see, this stuff we have been taking for the past several years has too much gravity, alum, and green persimmon essence in it, and just the tiniest little bit makes U3 narrow, harsh, critical, unjust and selfish. We hate (after having taken this other kind for several years) to see anybody happy and prosperous. Don’t seem fair to us that the other fellow is getting along alright in 1>is business, and we hate like the dickens to see anybody get a better job. Now, you know that ought not to be, don’t you Santy? In case you have not had an order for goodness in some time and have forgotten the formula—put in some sunshine, a few smiles, a spoonful of kindness, ten drops <w lie-killer, twelve ounces of anti-sneaking be hind the other fellow’s back, five drops of widening between the eyes, half ounce of brotherly love, a bushel of Golden Rule (powder). Mix well, set in the sun until perfectly dry. We’ll have to have the powdered type, for scqne of us have gone about pouting over fancied wrongs so long that our lips are all tooted out and grown together, so we’ll have to sniff ■ the powder, and won’t be able to take it' in water. One big argument that the anti diverters of highway funds could use in this county is the fact that nary a foot of concrete road can be found in Transylvania. If there is to be any diverting done, we would like it to be in the direction of a few miles of decent road in our county. “Buy sensible gifts and buy them at home,” says The MooresvHle Enterprise, and it sounds like good logic to us. It’s alright, fellers. We don’t be lieve in fighting chickens anyway, and especially on Sunday. After fighting and scrapping with the old devil all week and falling so far from grace that we’re almost ,.%sj)amed to look the preacher in the face, we’d rather have our Sunday morning at Sunday school than at a chicken fight. Town fathers are trying their best to figure out a way to build a sidewalk on North Brcfed from the square to the college. We’re not in 'farer of running up bills ordinarily, but^his is one time we heartily agree that the work should be done. ■_ twa hundred tl nualiy. But “it’s count” in debt-paying, living or most anything one undertakes, and the ex ample set by Finland in paying (and doing it in a nice manner, too) its bill last week could well be used to great advantage in our awn commun ity. Time was in Transylvania county that people paid their bills promptly, snd with a grace that made one glad to “charge it.” Note the “time was.’ That’s all. The best way in the wcrld to my “Merry Christmas” to The Times ] force is by sending in e dollar for a year’s renewal. ****************** f glancing ;; i BACK AT :: i BREVARD i Taken from the files of The !

John and Julius Allison and H. C Fenwicke. Of course the Jenkins Bros, were there with their full force. It is understood that the condition of the road to the mill is not to be mentioned in connection with the pleasures of this oceasion. For the benefit of those who have had no better opportunity to learn the news, we will state that the Your.g Women’s Christian organiza tion is officered as follows: Presi dent, Mrs. E. W. Blythe; vire presi dent, Miss Mattie Floyd; secretary, Miss Sophie Young. With such com petent officers the organization can but prosper.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP. 1C—Christmas and tht Christian Home. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—What It a Christian Home? It Is exceedingly difficult to follow the workings of the mind of the Les bod Committee when they selected these Scripture pnssuges to be treated under the topic ‘The Christian Home.'1 It Is manifestly Impossible to deal wlih these two passages as presenting a Christian home. It will be better, then, to center attention upon these pas sages In the light of their essentln! meaning, apart from the topic sug gested. 1. The Birth of Jeaus (Luke 2:8-11)). The prophet (Mlcnb 5:2) foretold the Savior’s birth about seven hundred years before this time. X His birth announced to tbe sbep herds (vv. 8-14). ' -. a. The time of (v. 8). it was while the shepherds were keeping watch over tlielr Uocke by night. The glorious gos pel message was thus wr united forth to these humble men .while busy with their common duties. Hilmble situa tion In life Is no hindrance to the rc ceptlon of the gogpe: message, gj? b. The first gospel messiee wns preached by the nngei of tbe Lord (v. 9j. Angels have always had o vital ministry from God to men. Angels are, j no doubt. Interested In men. Sl ice they j are personal beings they know how to , sympathize earnestly with fallen and kiii-cursed men. j a.’The nature of their message (vv. 10-14), ft wns pood tidings of great joy. ft wns good Udlnga been r.si the darkness of heathen doth which had so long governed earth wns beginning to vanish; tlie casting ont of Satan, the prince of tills world, wns about to take place; liberty wns soon to be pro claimed to those who were In' bond age; the wny of salvation was soon to be opened to nil; the knowledge of God wns no longer to bo confined to the Jews. Imt offered to the whole world. Truly this was glorious news, so glorious that n nndtlir.de of the heavenly host accompanied this an nouncetntnl with tlielr sung of praise. The Savior’s birth manifested the glmy of God. and wherever Mils good news Is received and lived there Is found good will among men. The sign whioh wns to make real this announcement wns the babe wrapped In swaddling clothes lying In n manger. 2. The shepherds Investigating (vv. IT.. Id). They did not stop to argue or raise questions, though these things were no doubt passing strange to them. They went Immediately to Bethlehem where they found everything Jnsl ns represented. These humble men had the privilege of first gazing upon the world’s Savior, the very Lord of glory. 3. The shepherds witnessing (vv. 17 19). When they beheld the Babe they could not remain silent, therefore went back praising God. Those who really hear the gospel message and come to know the Savior personally cannot he silent. The one who hears good news must tell It to others. II. The Mutual Relation of Parents and Chlldran lEpheslans 6:1-4). L Responsibility of children (vv. 1-3). a. They are to obey their parents (v. 1). The gronnd of this obedience Is the fact that the parents stnnd In the place of God to th.-m. b. The child should honor tbe pat ents (v. 2). Obedience to parents is limited to the period of Immaturity. When the children take tlielr place In the establishment of new units In soel ety they are no longer under obllga tlon to obey their parent*. '’Honor’’ means to have In reverence. This obliga tion rests npon children during the lifetime of their parents Prosperity and long life are the rewards of God to the children who discharge their du ties to their parents. 2. The parents (v. 4). Doubtless the word ‘‘fathers’’ was Intended to be In elusive of the mothers. a. Provoke not your children to wrath. This doubtless means thnt In tbe exercise of paternal authority there should be tbe avoidance of Irritation b. To bring them up In the nurture and admonition of the Lord. "Nurture" doubtless means to educate and “ad monition” means discipline Parents are responsible, then, for the propei education and discipline of their chi I dren. Parental reaponatbillty la a fun damental principle of life, and doer not change from age to age; Death aad Personality Every man who ponders long worth of life as it finds expnmloir-f. persona)tty and who. In addition bn spiritual fellowship with Christ, wli roach the conclusion that personam.' persists beyond the grave. ~ A Gospel to Livo By Take the Gospel, not as a myati pais for eternity, but aa » rethran word to live by.
