It is commodious and well appointed and contains all those essentials that go to make a modern church. This building-stands today as a lasting monument to the untiring energy and sacrifice of this de nomination and now that it is practically complete they should and do rejoice and we rejoice with them.

The Daily News takes this occasion to extend the greetings of the season to every patron and friend, with the hope that this will be their hap piest and best Christmas, also that the coming year will be to them one of continued joy and that prosperity to the fullest will be their portion. None could wish more than this, and we do it in all sincerity. While we have lived among the good people of Greenville and Pitt county only for a bout six months as a newspaper, we have learned to admire and love both people and section, and trust we have in a measure gained the confidence of our constitutency. Hence we greet you on this jovous Yuletide season with a glad heart. How happy all of us should be that it is well with us as it is. While the dark cloud of war hovers, yet we as a nation have much indeed to be joyous over. God has smiled upon us as He has no na tion. We have plenty to keep the wolf away from the door and have been permitted to do our "bit" for those unfortunate across the sea less fortu nate than we, and this we will continue to do. This is Americanism, this is Christianity, this is the way God would have us be, this is the true Christ-i mas spirit. In helping others we are helping ourselves.! Where we place sunshine, sunshine comes to us! in return. ' ' In this Christmas time let us not forget why we ; celebrate, that it is the birth of one who went a-1 bout doing good and proclaimed "Peace on earth good will to men." Remember we are celebrat-l ing the birthday of the absent one, for He is not I with us but gone before, to make intercession for us. Lets celebrate as men not as heathens and pagans. Lets make it a day of gladness not onej of revelry and frivolity, in other words lets be! men, true men. If we have anything to throw away lets give it to those more needf ut the wid ow and orphan for instance. Many a home will lack a fiilled stocking tomorrow. What could be a better deed than filling one. God crave His onl v i begotten Son, surely we can do somthing. Lets j fl make this Christmas our very brightest and best, j not only for ourselves but others. ! Si "The Christmas tide is here, The time for holy cheer. Not foolishness nor sin, Should touch the homes of men. But feelings high and true, And service that is due For saddened hearts a word of cheer, To prove to them a friend is near." r We congratulate the congregation of the Chris-. i tian Chruch upon the fact that on yesterday they Bfi worshipped in the main auditorium of their new j house of worship for the first time and also t-.WI rvj it. -n i -i i .
