(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David) to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with a angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them .ie shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

M, 1871 LESSON TEST: Luke 3:15-8 4:1-1 Continuing our studies in the Book of Luke, our lesson aim for today Is to aid In a clearer understanding of how by identifying Himself with mankind, Christ fulfilled His mission as Redeemer. Christ the Deity, and Christ the Man.. .for our sakes, what a happy combination ! Exalted, He carried within Himself the ability to cleanse us of our sins yet as a man, He un derstood our hopes and joys, our despairs, our temptations, and our weaknesses! His mercy was never withheld from us, nor His compassion or forgiveness. John the Baptist, forerunner of Christ and ardent disciple, gloriously climaxed his wit nessing in the single act of baptism of Christ. The significance of baptism is familiar to all; immersion in water (the cleansing agent) signifies the end of the old life and the putting away of acknowledged sin. But Christ's baptism had a special significance all its own. Sinless Himself, He still had a mission to accomplish which would require Him to take the sins of mankind upon His shoulders, presenting Himself to God as man's advocate. That Christ's act of announced dedication to His appointed task, and His complete identification with mankind, was fully acceptable in God's eyes, is made clear in the descent of the Holy Spirit and of the voice from heaven upon completion of the rite. Immediately following Christ's baptism, He was subjected to a number of temptations by the devil. These were stoutly resisted, and Christ remained without sin. His involvement with the spiritual well-being of mankind, despite the knowledge of the awful price that would be demanded of Him on Calvary, far outweighed concern for Himself. Unfortunately, when the devil tempts mortal man, he meets with more success than he should. Being mere humans, we too often permit worldly in terests to crowd our spiritual instincts for good, and we ignore completely the fact that physical things often threaten the fulfittfnent of God's purpose for us. Christ's greatest victory (and OUR greatest gain) was His unflinching commitment of Himself to our redemption! We must continually foster our spiritual resources if we are to remain steadfast against temptation and live our lives as useful Christians. To be suc cessful in our almost daily fight against Satan, our lives must be sincerely committed to Christ. For it is only the strength of our Christian convictions that will enable us to face each day unafraid, fraught with spiritual hazards as life so often is. We cannot outwit Satan.. .we must stay constantly on our guard. Even a right relationship with God does not exempt us from temptation, any more than it did Christ. But the Bible will be our staff, and our will power our foundation for a Christ-oriented life. Spiritual maturity is an essential commodity in the Christian; God has supplied the grace, but we ourselves must be wholly responsible for our personal ideals and integrities.

In 1971, 90 per cent of U. S. farmers altered their cropping patterns from their established bases ad allotments in order to increase their profits. The set-aside programs encourage this. Under the 1972 set-aside programs, a participant who complies with the set-aside acreage he has signed up for and maintains his conserving base, is free to plant the rest of his cropland to anything he chooses, except a few crops which are under marketing quotas. "With the set-aside program, farmet cm decide what and how much to plant on their farms." Notices of wheat allotments and feed grain bases phis projected yields, and payment rates along with leaflets on the various voluntary farm programs, will be mailed to all farmers on Dec 27. "If farmers have any ' questions on program par--ticipation, the County ASC Committee and County ASCS Office officials will be glad to answer them," Mr. Robinson concluded. ' : . ' .

C. State Highway Patrol and the some 20 men of the tri county REACT Emergency Traffic Control team that have joined forces in an effort to reduce holiday deaths on WNC roads. Our county should be proud of men like this not taking vacations trying to save a life from reckless driving, racing, driving without lights and in toxicated drivers. Of course, anyone can have the misfortune of losing control of cars. It's sure a tragedy to see and hear about so many wrecks on our highways where so many lose their lives some crippled for life. If people who drive could see the wrecks, lives lost, many in hospitals, surely this could be controlled. Power to these devoted men trying to save lives. Everyone be careful during the holidays and every day. You might save a life it might be your own or a loved one. People and cars have been on my mind so much since I recently had the misfortune of seeing a terrible wreck on one of our WNC roads where three people lost their lives and others hospitalised. I would iay to every driver, be careful, prayerful and thoughtful this Christmas Season and all the new year. , Mrs. Jerry Rice, Sr COTTON SHARK North CaroUaa'e share of the It 72 national cotton allotment la 312,235 acres.
