On December 27th, the First Baptist Church of Charlotte will celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. Dr. Luther Little, at that church, and it will be a memorable day for the congregation, and for Dr. Little, as another epoch will also be celebrated at the same time, that of the wiping out of a church debt that has hung over the congregation for many long years, leaving it unencumbered, and with a congregation of nearly 4,000. But, it is of the pastor that The Journal would speak at this time. Taking up his duties after the departure of Dr. Vines, who served the church for some years, he injected new life into the First Baptist Church, even then the largest congregation in Char lotte, and threw his whole soul into the work, being in the prime of his manhood at that time, coming here from Jackson, Tertn., having served previously at Brownville, Tenn., Fort Worth, and Galveston, Texas, and he has labored unfalteringly in a spiritual, as well as in a progressive way, passing through trials and tribu lations that would have caused many men to have given up, both of a personal nature, as well as in an official capacity- But the Faith abided in him, and he labored on, doing his duty as he saw it, and serving his Master and his congregation faithfully in every sense of the word, being a pastor as well as an expounder of the Gospel. He has in his years of service here in the Lord’s Vine yard seen the clouds break away and the sun shine forth upon him and his work, and at the close of his twenty-fifth year of service, he is one of the most honored and respected citizens Char lotte has ever had. He has given in that time his all, having served in a civic way whenever called upon, never faltering when a call came for service from any deserving source, giving, finan cially to every worthy person and cause as far his means would permit. He has gone into thousands upon thousands of homes and institutions every Sunday morning with his religious message for many, many years, being known as one of the oldest radio preachers on the air, starting in on WBT, whep it was in its in fancy, now on WSOC. Also, Dr. Little has made a practice on each and every Labor Day to dedicate his morning sermon to Labor, and has always stood for the organization of the workers He has been a servant of the Lord in a true sense of the word' first, he has served his congregation faithfully and well, his fel low man in general, his country, his state and Charlotte in par ticular, and is entitled to any honor that may be bestowed upon him.

What he learned f;om a young mu* , sician was that when he was 12 years old his parents gave him a red, white and blue decorsted snare drum. That very drum started him on his professional mutiir career. The musician said it was more than "just a gift” for it had Influenced his whole life. Then the roving reporter asked a housewife what gift she had saved from her early days. She replied that it was a dol* given by her mother. Since her mother is dead, she keeps it in her memory for it has greet sentimental value. Another woman, a “collection cor respondent,” told the reporter that when she was eight years old an aunt gave her a doll. She, too, as a fitting temembrance of her aunt, has kept the doll even though little of the original remains, having had to replace its head and clothes. It still retains its charm, she said. Another young man, a cutter by trade, was stopped and asked what he had saved. He said that the Christmas following the death of his mother, his father gave him her ring. He had it made over to At his Anger and has worn it ever since. He has hopes of passing it on to a child of his own. Gay Christmas Plants Will Appeal to Mother Here is a suggestion tor the young men and ladies, around 10 or 15, who have been saving their money for mother’s Christmas present, yet don’t know what to get for her: Get her a Christmas plant! She’ll enjoy it as much as any of the many others. Of all the Christmas plants, the one which tru ly reflects the sea son of the year (almost as much as the Christmas tree) is the poin settia. This red leafed plant has a soft, yet force ful, beauty to it that has, as yet, failed to attract the eye of those who are suscepti ble to any form of color. Other red flowers are popular, too, but not as easily obtainable as the pieasam poinset- • tia. There is the Jerusalem cher ry, the red cycla men. If you do pur chase mother a poinsettia set it in an attractive colored pot (wrap it in colored Christmas paper) and tie a little red nbbon with a bow on it. That will put the “finishing touch” to a Christmas gift that is different. Here Is a Festive Hard Sauce to Go With Yule Pudding Even the tasty hard sauce now comes to the table in a gala dress. For instance here are these holiday hard sauce pinwheels to serve with your favorite steamed pudding. Hard Sauce Pinwheels Vt cup butter. 1 cup sifted confectioners’ sugar V« teaspoon grated lemon rind tablespoon cream 2 teaspoons orange juice % teaspoon grated orange rind Orange food coloring Cream butter until soft and grad ually beat in sugar. Divide mix ture in half and add cream and grat ed lemon rind to one portion and the orange juice and rind to the other portion. Add food coloring to orange flavored portion to tint a del icate orange. Spread lemon flavored portion on a cold damp cloth and spread orange mixture over it Roll as for jelly roll and place in refrig erator. When hard, cut in slices and serve with steamed puddings or mince pie. Not Santa, but ‘Nisson’ Visits Danish Children The Danish children do not have a Santa Claus, but instead a Christ mas brownie, called "Nisson,” a lit tle old man with a long, gray beard who supposedly lives under the ground. The chief features of a Danish Christmas dinner are roast goose, rice and apple fritters. When the storks have left their nests in autumn, boatloads of coarse brown crockery in the shape of lit tle pigs, with a slit in the back, are brought to Denmark and bought by the children. They are savings banks into which the children drop their pennies. The image is not broken until Christmas tune. -V Patronize Journal Advertisers.
