Cbristuiag They were dark days in Ju dea nineteen hundred and forty years ago. The hand of the ty rant lay heavy on the land and all over the world the armies of the conqueror brought more and more little countrie.s under the sway of the empire. Even in far off Judea, the iron rule was felt. The people were harshly taxed, sudden and arbitrary punish ments were inflicted on them, the rule of Herod, the tyrant of Rome, and of his Jewish deput ies was cruel. The mother, huddled on the grey donkey, rode the long miles to Bethlehem. The ruler had de creed that all the people must be taxed to pay for the empire and the great armies that were con quering the world. Each person must be taxed in his own city. She was not well enough for such hard travel, but <^he Law d'sl not allow for sickness, or mothers, or babies. And so, of those who rode to Bethlehem, there \vas a woman on an ass. The town was crowded, the inn was full, and Mary’s Baby was born in the stable. She laid him in the manger, made soft w’ith golden straw, while over head the angels sang “Glory to God in the Highest and on Earth, Peace, Good Will toward Men.” Perhaps many heard the song and wondered. Perhaps she IMPUSTRV HAS ♦ PEVCLOPEO BRAKES ON THE AAOOERM CAR -mAT ARE S TIMES Mone , POWeRFVL THAU ' AUTO eNSINE * *lHe ‘SCOLO'S BRlPLf- AH IRON FRAME that FiTtW TISKTIV ovsi ihb Moirm AK9 PREVFMTE5 UiCD AS A PUNISHING pevict ItJ OLPeHeiANP_.VI«MEN WHO GOSSIPEP tX> /MUCH WEW TISHtlV “AWnLtO" FOR A WHILE 1b *fEACH THE VIRToeS OF aifNCE • NO StWMi INMABrT MEW ZEALAnD, ANP TME WftjRVATION OF TOE WWiLFS EVEN FOR EXrtlBlTiON rusposes i» smcay forbippen or Chamber of Commerce judges of Yuletlde decorations, but they’ll have 'lo look twice.

For Mary knew, perhaps as her Son knew and told His people, that only w'hen the angels’ song is heard can men have peace. Only when men give Glory to God in the Highest will there be Good Will among free men on earth. STRIDENT CALL FROM THE SOUTH The rallying call was heard in the Sandhills this past w^eek, a call for action, immediate ac tion, vital action against a common foe. In a notable address before the Sandhills Kiwanis Club’s banquet Governor Hoey cried out for a unified front against “the titanic tread of the dicta tor.” He urged full cooperation with Great Britain, loyalty to taneous accord. When W. D. Sabiston, Carth age attorney, arose to tell the audience why the cup was being presented to the man whose name was still a secret, he didn’t set out to argue a case, but merely told in all serious ness of the many self-assumed burdens this man habitually carried in behalf of the sister villages and of the persistent service he has given to every or- nranization and individual in his neighborhood. Sincerity and sim plicity are two rare gifts of '■haracter. Each w’as revealed during the banquet scene. One when the speaker made his laud atory address to his enthusias tic listeners, and one when the cup was handed over to the man whose name was inscribed upon it, and Mr. Picquet, emo tionally altirred, received his reward. Charlie Picquet has been a valued asset in the Sandhills for Following the good example .set by Mrs. Mudgett in providing Christ-1 mas tree lights for the Southern I Pines postoffice. Max G, Backer step ped up to Postmastei' Buchan last veek and offered Christmas green ery for the entrance. The result: well, we don’t want to influence the Jun- a long lime. And during a cer tain proportion of these years he has worked pretty much on the basi.s of a mi.ssionary, and | like many other envoys, he too j often found his efforts non-sup-! porting. As everyone knows,! Charlie has not stacked up any I great material wealth, but he' has accumulated a great many i things money can never buy. j The Pinehur.'^t F-iir, the Horse Shows, the Gymkhanas, Kiwan is affairs, the fine musical features and plays and enter tainments of various sorts nev er would have been the success they were if Mr. Piccjuet had not been enthusiastically behind them. And as head of the Thea tre Owners Association of the f^'arolinas for man.v years he made a constant struggle tO' keep his stage on a high plane and free from the .sordid and objectionable and second rate grade. It wasn’t all easy sled ding, as many occasions left an uncomfortable balance at th^ box office window that was all blit discouraging. But he take« his losses and tries again, just as he will do tomorrow and the next tomorrow. But it isn’t all entertainment that makes up his world of interests. He has turn ed his shoulder in supiwt of more than one religious institu tion. When the stmyirlinur Prc'=- byterians were without s!"elter he gave the Soiithr-rn Pinf'' theater for a place of worshi’- until the congregation conld move into its own building. And there, when crude wooden benches provided the only seat ing capacity, Mr. Picquet gave a block of seats from the thea tre to take the place of thr plank benches. Today he is di recting the choir of the Con gregational Church. This isn’t a requiem. Char- h'e Picquet’.s work is not finish ed, and it never will be as Ion? '’s he lives and Nature gives him strength to carry on. The Kiwanis Builder’s Cup i.*" “presented in recognition of un selfish service in the upbuilding of the Sandhill section.” It was with harmonous agreement that some two hundred people saw Charlie Picquet come into t small part of his reward here on earth. —H.K.B.
