SANTA TREATS OFFICESanta Claus (Ashwell Harward) gave Burlington office workers refreshments such as Cokes, cookies, and candy Friday and later spread the Christmas feeling throughout the plant. A movie fan once asked John Wayne whether he hadn't been scared in one of his films when it appeared the wagon train was about to be wiped out by Indians. "Naw," replied the star, "I'd read the script and I knew how it came out!" Christians are sometimes encouraged to "hold on" in times of trial and temptation because, as it was demonstrated in Jesus' own life, if we persevere, we need not fear the outcome. When Jesus had successfully resisted the temptations of the devil, Matthew tells us that "angels came and ministered to hint" (Matthew 4:11). That's comforting, of course, but some of us would like to know what to do until the angels come? While the devil is tempting us with his whole arsenal of lures, what do we do even if we have read the script and know how it will come out? We can learn much from the manner in which Jesus met his temptor. First of all, he knew who he was. And that was important because that was the first place the temptor made his assault. Many people miss the subtlety with which the devil approached Jesus: "If you arc the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread" (4:3). Thus, he begins by calling into question Jesus' identity: "If you are the Son of God..."There is a faintly-veiled challenge to Jesus to prove that he is the Messiah. The devil still uses this tactic. He comes to us calling into question our identity, saying. "If you're really the Christian you think you are. then..." There is nothing he delights in more than causing us to doubt our own identity as Christ's disciples. As soon as we say. to ourselves, "Maybe I'm not good enough a disciple of Jesus?," he's got his foot in the door. We are not of much use to God if we are not sure who we are. Unless we know that we are disciples of Jesus Christ, not because we are worthy but because of God's grace, the devil can very easily lead us down the garden path...and out of the garden! Jesus was also able to hold out until the angels came because he knew Who or What God is. So. when the devil tries to tempt Jesus to using the power of God to change stones into bread. Jesus remembers that it is God upon whom he is dependent, not himself. "Man shall not live by bread alone," he repeals from scripture, "but by every word that procedeth from the mouth of God" (4:4). He is in God's hands, not his own. Once again the devil challenges him: "...throw yourself down..." (4:5). But again. Jesus remembers who God is: the One who is in charge. If Jesus were to "throw" himself down, he would he challenging God to help him. ralher than waiting for God to work out his own purposes. Finally, when all else has failed, the devil makes an appeal to Jesus' sense of mission: if Jesus will worship him, the devil will give him all the power he needs to accomplish his purpose. But, once again, Jesus remembers that there can be but one master. Then the angels came and "ministered to him." And so they will come to us. if until they come we. like Jesus, persevere. Upper Room Sing a Christmas carol of your choice. A LITANY FOR CHRISTMAS DAY Leader: " 'Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emanuel' (which means, God with us)." Response: We dare this day to celebrate His birth. Leader: "This will be a sing for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." Response: We dare this day to make Him ours. Leader: And the heavenly host said. "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!" Response: We dare this day to seek the Prince of Peace. Meditation: When I was learning to tly an airplane, the instructor taught me two things. One was not to be afraid of flying, and the other was to have confidence in the airplane. We went through many intricate maneuvers, most of which placed great stress upon the plane. Flying "straight and level" was enjoyable and beautiful, but I know that all living could not be consistent. Today is Christmas day. We see a baby born in a stable. We know that God is placing himself square ly in the middle of all the multitude of stresses in daily living. On a trip, my family and I made a brief stop in Columbia. South Carolina. My eleven - year old son became engaged in a conversation with a policeman. When we started to resume our trip, being unsure of the proper route through the eitv. 1 asked the policeman for directions. Instead of spelling out all the roads and landmarks, he said. "Follow me; I'll lead the way." IN MEMORIHM In Lov-cng memo Ay 0& MR & MRS HUNGER STEPHENS.

Allen may recover the agreed rental for the remaing seven years from either Buxton or Collins. The assignment created what is termed a "privity of estate" between the assignee. Col lins, and the original lessor, Allen. The original lessor has a direct cause of action against Collins on his promise to pay rent for the remaining portion of the ten years. If Buxton pays to Allen the rent on the building for the remaining seven years, may he obtain re imbursement from Collins? Yes. Buxton, on paying the rent or discharging any other covenant in the lease, has a right of re imbursement from Collins, his assignee. The ultimate liability will rest upon Collins. The original lessee after assignment is treated in the nature of a surety. HOUSE FOR SALE: 2 bedroom house on 1st Ave.. Red Springs. Has fireplace, floor furnace, ce ramic bath, fenced in back yard.
