The little clay-chinked log

This non-profit enterprise has pgj-^g plumb crazy,
always made a special thing of the'
holiday season. The consignors,
many of whom are local women,
have finished up their prettiest
items for Christmas well in ad
vance. Those who live cut in the
country near the holly swamps,
prod husbands or sons to get out
in the woods and find the best
greens for sale at the Exchange.
The fine cooks have made up
their fruit cakes and plum pud
dings and most dele'clable sweets
and are all set with the fresh sup
plies to produce mere as the calls
come in.
The food counter, this year, is
offering a plentiful supply of the
old favorites: the grape fruit peel,
pecans, salted or sugared with a
touch of sherry, the pralines and
cheese straws and all the other
The Sandhills Exchange tries
to carry things that the regular
commercial establishments do not
have. Because they don’t want to
complete with them, for commun
ity as well as business reasons.
This year there is quite a list of
such unusual items. Intriguing to
golfers are the knitted mittens,
or little hoods, to fit over the
heads of your wooden clubs. They
are supposed to preserve the clubs
and they give a beautifully pro
fessional look to your old bag.

dling. From the band of the crafts
man, too, is the doll furniture,
copied from big size models.
And when you get tired of buy
ing for the doll you* can always
buy for the doll’s mama. The line
of hand-made smocked dresses
and little aprons and pinafores are
among the Exchange’s most at
tractive items. Speaking of
aprons, the sets of gardening
aprons with sun-bonnets to match
look like grand presents for those
friends who lurk around in the
shrubbery, pulling out this and
sticking in that.
Continuing out-doors, for the
moment, there are the bird feed
ers. The eyes of bird-lovers, who
do sometimes’ look at something
besides birds, will brighten to see
how nice they are. They follow
recommended designs and are,
also, a local production. 'The prices
look to be about the same as those
you see in the catalogues.
There’s a lot more: North Car
olina pottery from Coles, hooked
rugs, spreads, table mats, book-
racks, and so on. And compara
tively few of those odd-shaped,
Wcman’s-exchangy objects, gen
erally pink, that nobody knows
what they’re for.
Last but not least are the
Christmas greens. Here the Ex
change is in competition with lo
cal nurserymen, many of whom
make a specialty of selling greens
at Christmas. But seeing as they
all come out of our ground and
that the demand is far too great
for the trade the more the mer
rier, we imagine.
The Sandhills Woman’s Exchange
in Pinehurst does its share of pro
viding good cheer for the Christ
mas season. And it’s open all six
days of the week, Saturday after-
^ noons included.

Fear or Faith
Lesson for December 14, 1952
((
Dr. Foreman
T?EAR was the first creator of
•F Gods,” wrote a long-ago Ro
man poet. This was more or less
true of all religions he could have
known about. It is also true of most
religions around the world.
An ex-Buddhist who had once
trained for the priesthood in his
own religion, said of his childhood,
“All I knew was that there were
800 gods and I was afraid of them
all."
The characteristic feature of
most religions is the appeasement
of angry, capricious or vengeful
gods. Sometimes the terror is with
out rhyme or reason, as in the case
of the Buddhist boy just quoted.
Sometimes the terror has a moral
base and reason, as the great
Greek poet Aeschylus portrays in
his plays—the terrors of a man of
guilty conscience fleeing from the
gods who do not forget nor forgive.
• * *
What Makes Men Afraid?
In Matthew’s story we have illus
trations of what men fear. Herod,
for example, was a superstitious
man. He was
afraid of John the ''
Baptist, and later
afraid of Jesus
because he
thought he might
be John again,
risen from the
grave. Herod was
an example of
the man who
fears whatever
he does not un
derstand. A horse will shy at a
piece of paper more than at more
dangerous things. Horses now
adays pass cars (or rather, cars
pass them!) and the horse does not
so much as prick an ear; but in
the days when cars were rare,
horses would go wild at the very
sight or sound of one.
People are like that; grown men
are often no more than grown-up
children, still afraid of the dark.
Then Herod also is an illustration
that men are as it were afraid of
their own shadows. That is to say,
as Shakespeare puts it, “Con
science doth make cowards of us
alL” Or as the Psalmist said long
before Shakespeare; “The wicked
flee when no man pursueth.”
Many of our fears would never
exist if we had lived as we ought
to have lived. Men live in fear of
exposure, fear of blackmail, fear
of failure and defeat, often
through no one’s fault but then-
own. Then’ the disciples too were
afraid. ’They were not superstitious,
they were not haunted by their
sins, but they were afraid in the
storm, they feared the wind and
waves.
• • •
Why Christians Are Brave
Students of the Bible have dis
covered that the word “fear” is
usually tied there to another word:
Not. Fear not, is one key-note of
both Old and New Testaments. The
reason for this is plain. Chris
tianity is the religion of love: love
to God, love’ to one’s neighbor.
Not mere good will or kindly feel
ing, but active, self-forgetful love
“There is no fear in love, but per
fect love casteth out fear,” as St.
John said.
Old writers, commenting on the
story of Peter’s sinking in the sea,
have said that if he had kept his
mind on Jesus instead of on him
self and on the storm-tossed
waves, he would not have cried
out, “I perish.” Certain it is that
when we are self-centered we are
sure to be tormented with fear,
for we are always thinking what
may happen to us—and of course
plenty can.
If we keep our minds on our
work and on the fact that God is
our Father, if we remember morn
ing, noon and night that the God
who “so loved the world that he
gave his only begotten Son” is the
same God who created this uni
verse and controls it, then we shall
not be scourged with fears.

Courageous Christians
It is a tremendous mistake to
think that Christianity is only for
rabbity people, for mice and not
men. Christ does something for
even such persons, it is true; he
takes them clear out of them
selves. Remember the long roll of
the early Christian martyrs, very
humble people most of them, who
died horrible deaths rather than
deny their Master; remember such
saints as the missionaries who
converted our own savage ances
tors, at great peril to their own
lives; remember the missionaries
of our own time, some of them
suffering torture and aU of them
distress, yet not giving up. The
ordinary Christian missonary has
more to be afraid of than most of
the rest of us have; yet he has
less fear. He knows God too well,

CHRISTMAS CARDS
Your Christmas cards de-
!sarve first-class handling—
sealed, and bearing a three-
cent stamp, comes a timely
reminder from Postmaster
Garland Pierce.
The three-cent mail gets
preferential treatment all
along the line. It can contain
a personal message, and will
be forwarded if necessary.
If non-deliverable, it will be
returned to the sender if it
bears a return address.
Two cents will still carry
your card, but it must be left
unsealed and rales none cj
the above services.
The postmaster suggests
buying your Stamps in bulk
in advance, in sheets of 100
or convenient coils of 500. A
new wrinkle for bulk buyers
is the "facing slip." which
may be asked for at time of
purchase. These free slips are
used to separate local from
out-of-town mail, helping both
to move along faster.

Attend the Church of Your Choice Next Sunday
A simple ornament, a fragile, insignificant
decoration on a Christmas tree. But look at
the beauty it reflects!
Many of us feel that as an individual we
have no influence in this world, that our sim
ple, hum-drum existence has no effect on our
fellow men.
And yet each human being is a potential
source of inspiration and beauty. No matter
how humble our station in life, each of us has
the power to guide and direct the lives of
others. Even slight gestures and remarks can
have an important meaning to those about us.
For the sake of others, as well as for our
own well-being, let us turn to the Church for
inspiration and guidance. Here will we learn
to live a life full of goodness and truth, re
flecting God’s love into dark places.
