IJTTLBTON Beaufort Fatuity Member *br <wr Christmas meditation I would like to use several verses from Matthew's r,os|*l From Mat thew 1 : 18-21 we take the following verses: ' How the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his Mo Ulcr Mary was espoused to Joseph, W/ore they came together, she Was fourtd with child Of the Holy Ghoat Then Joseph her husbartd, btlrig a just man, and not willing to Make her a publick example, was mind ed to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things behold, the angel of the Lord ap peared unto him in a dream, say ing, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take onto thee Mary thy wife for that which is con ceived in her is of tht .{oly Ghost And thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins." i, ** ?? almost Incredible that the life of one man could be so im portant yet the passage just read tells of the birth of One about Whom all human history revolves. His was a birth important that it was foretold centuries before it occurred. An archangel, annouhced His birth to Mary, and a heavenly choir heralded His coming. So im portant was the occasion that His Almighty Father hung a new and brighter star in the canopy tif space, and from afar kings came to the brightness of His rising. Old Testament saints looked for ward to His coming with anxious longing, and Christians the world over look back to it with wonder and adoration. Yea, so great was) the event of this Man's birth that tne course of human history was divided into BC and AD by this humblest of nativities. Not only His birth was unukual, but His name also was giveit be fore His birth. The Bard of Avon speaks questionably when he writes: "What's in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell so sweet " Shakespeare might be right that for ordinary people the rtamc makes no difference, but this Was no ordinary man. What's in a name? Maybe We'll never understand everything that was in this name; but His riame meant Saviour, for He shall save His people from their sins. This iLli.* givcn by 1,0 huw?n being, but spoken by an a Heel from the throne of God on high. This was a name that was to be full of meaning, containing the promise of God that by the poWer 01 this name men would be freed from the evil of their own natures ft th e tounj ot this name demons 5# J J??rFd ln fe,r ,nd 'he gates of Hell have trembled.

Littleton Becaase Christ Jesas Came The heavens smiled o'er hills forlorn And lit their brightest star. | The Wise Men knew a king Was born And traveled from afar. A choir of angels praised Hia name. Foretold the reign of peace; And shepherds heard about His fame, His government's increase. Yea, even now because He came, Some s^cak of brotherhood; We challenge life with nobler aim And work for all men's good. We cannot make the star now shine; We need not go (far.

'ft: ? 1 ' J In Children Attend Party Boy Pulls Alarm After Visiting Fire Station Lexington, N. C. (AP) ? Second graders from Dunbar Elementary School visited the Lexington Fire Department in the morning hours. A fireman directed the tour. He showed them the trucks and the apparatus, explaining how it all forked. And he showed them how to turn in a fire alarm. And, of cdUrte, a fire alarm came in at 3:25 p.m., after school wis out. Twenty firemen and 11 vdluhteers rushed to the alarm box. There was no smoke, no Are anywhere. The usual false alarm investi gation was made and the unhappy culprit was found. He, of course, was one of the 7-jrear-olds who had watched so interestedly the demonstration that morning. David W. Freshwater, Carteret Supply, Retires David W.
