ed Mastar that th*r« ha, bean a
cessation of hostilities among- the
major nations. It was a wonder
ful achievement the United
Nation* , have accomplished, be
yond our dream, and recognized'
as a feat staggering the imagma^
tion of the mind. Who is ablt?
to measure the great and infinite?
importance of such a tremendous
military victory in defeating the
greatest foes ever organized foi*
aggresion, exploration a*id de.
trudi>on in the history of -t
world? As a civilized people let
us not underestimate the success
ful conquest of these hostile am.
fierce enemies.
Christmas on the day of the
birth of Jesus Christ, the Prince
of Peace, is here again in 1946
and in time for multiplied millions
of solders and sailors to return
in time to observe, in many
nations around the world, (our
I nation particularly,) this most
! event day. A world long in hot
conflict, with every battle of
the warrior with confused noise,
and garments collect in blood,”
has calmed.
The Great Prince of Peace has
made intervention and caused
wars to cease to the ends of the
world once more.
What is the best lesson we have
learned from all our victories?
“This is That” we know this
Chris’mas season the God, and
Saviours of the old world are
found to be no Gods at all and
no Saviours. Adolf Hitler is not
a Saviour! The emperor, of Ja
pan with their Sun Worshipers
and Shintorism are discredited i
by a wiser knowledge of “The
Prince ot Peace.” I
We find that Budda, Moham
med, Mahatmi, Ghandi, Haile
! Selasae, haw been shelved as
leader, and redeemers and
seldom are mentioned in the
larger sense they had been be
fore this great sha’keup and
shakedown of all theroms and
facts.
We discover that Materialism
is helpless to approach the divine
understanding of things beauii
ful, good and true.
And we see that money is no
good to deliver us from the
terrible c&ndition, of hunger,
famine, exposure, and ruin. Our
God is ndt silver and gold and
bras'* given by ben’s arts and
devices.” It is going to take
something moi« than money to
pay the overwhelming debt of I
$277,000,000,000 of a national
debt.
It is now the time to throw
this plan of borrowing into re-1
serve and put our people to work j
by the job to pay this debt. K
the nation is wealthy enough to
loan the government 20 billion
dollars every three months, it is
wealthy enough to pay it off at
the same rate and tve are con
fident someone in authority
will use widsom In this matter
while money is so easy and pay
it off or reasonably reduce it!
If we had prosperity by loan
ing and spending it and thank
God we did have prosperity! We
know that we can have the same
amount of prosperity by paying
it back at the same rate. There
should be a half, a turning back a
Reversal of our debts. It will
not take a slogan like grace, grit,
and greenback; but it will take
OBITUARY
On November 30, 1945 the
gentle spirit of Mrs. Mary Cath
erine Leford Leonhardt passed
to her eternal home after an di
nes* of one day, and several years
of declining health.
Mrs. Leonhardt was the daugh
ter of Jume, Ledford and Amue
Hailey Leuford and was born
August 12, 1800, her stay upon
earth being 85 years, 3 months,
and 18 days. In early girlhood
she accepted Christ and beeame
fe member of Bess’ Chapel Metho
dist church, where she remained
a faithful and loyal member until
the end.
In 1880 she waa united in mar
riage with William L. Leonhardt.
Mercy, justice and truth te save
u* from a calamity!
In conclusion, we affirm that
“this is that”, God has taught us
all other Saviours are gone;
obviously, there is left standing
erect and bold over all the ruin
and devastions of the second
World War only one God and
Saviour, the Lord .Jesus Christ.
He i„ the Prince of Peace and we
can come to the world this
Christmas season with the same
salutuation we Heard at the
nativity of the Prince of Peace,
“Fear not; For behold I bring
unto you good tiding* of great
joy which shall be to all people,
for unto you is bom this day in
the city of David a Saviour which
is Christ the Lord.,, Oh, Glory to
God in the hightest and on earth,
peace, good will toward men”.
The husband and three children,
Mrs. Sallie Howell, Clarence K.,
and Lee J. Leonhardt preceded
her in death. She is survived by
four children Ramon L. and Dor
aa Leonhardt and M s. Ed Led
ford of this commit i,y, Mis. L.
L. Willis of Vale. Surviving' also
are Id grand-children anu 8 gr a
itand-children, and one aisfei,
Mrs. Francis Spake of Chase
City, Virginia. A brother, John
Ledford died several years ago.
Mrs. Leonhardt had reached
the ripe age of 85 years, and has
fulfilled her destined mission as
wife and mother. She was kind,
sympathetic and understanding.
She was a faithful wife, a devot
ed mother and a loving grand
mother. She was an inspiration
to those who W'ere closely asso
ciated with her. Her influence
will be a precious memory in the
lives of her relatives and friends.
She has fought a good fight,
she has kept the faith, she has
finished her course; henceforth
there is laid up for her a crown
of righteousness.
The family wishes to thank the
neighbors and friends for the
many acts of kindness and sym
pathy shown them during the
sieknes4 and death of this loved
one, and also for the beautiful
floral offering. May God bless
each of you.
