Debating Club Has Practice Program The Roxboro high school de btaing club met Wednesday after noon and debated on the sub ject, Resolved, that Roxboro Cen tral School and Roxboro High School should have nine month terms and twelve years of school. The affirmative side maintain ed that the present system was inadequate because it did not provide sufficient time for stu dent mastery of subject matter I and did not prepare pupils ade quately for college and careers after graduation. The affirma tive also declared that Roxboro co’dd afford to make such a change since the benefits derived from the extra education would benefit the community in the long run. The negative, cn the other hand, | attempted to prove that the pre sent system is adequate since- the community is mainly agricul tural and the pupils get practi cal experience in their future ca :cers by working on farms dur ing the supnmer months. This side also affirmed that poor prep aiation was not necessarily due to the short school term of ele ven years. Rather it was due to over-crowed classrooms, inade quate equipment and insufficient number of subjects taught. Mrs. L. N. Rynd expressed confidence in the fact that Rox boro High School has good ma-j lerial for a debating team after | hearing this preliminary debate.] • 0 i Latin Club Has Second Meeting The Latin Club which was organized last month held its second meeting Dec. 10th.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON From The Adult Student i One of the most familiar fig- ! urcs associated in our minds with 1 the idea of Christmas in the post-| • man making his rounds with his • bulging bag packed with its faa-j '■ rir.ating assortment of packages, l and letters and cards. He thus be-j c comes the symbol of the love and| ■ good will which men bear in * their hearts to each other, and ( which they express annually ‘ through the custom of sending beautifully decorated cards bear-1 seme message of Christian cheer. If we trace the custom of send ing some message of Christian cheer.". back far enough we will come at last to a group of shepherds watching their flocks on the hills outside of Bethlehem, unto whom the angel host made its appear ance and upon whose wonder ing ears the first Christmas mes- 5 sage fell, “Fear not: for, behold! I bring you good tidings of great * joy, which shall be to all people, i For unto you is born this day in <s the city of David a Saviour, whicn 4 is Christ the Lord.” That is the 4 first Christmas message. Every 4 year it is repeated again and:!j again from thousands of pulpits, and tens of thousands of Christ-1 jj ian teachers as they relate to the'j group of little children seated a- j 1 round them the story that has j for such long centuries held such j fascination for childhood and by j countless mothers who gather j their own little ones about them j and watch their faces light up as j they hear the story of the ttfiylj babe in Bethlehem’s manger, and j by multiplied choirs as they sing j once more the old familiar carols | j and the Christmas hymns. It is j a familiar message, “Unto you is j f born. ...» Saviour.” It is as fam- j iliar as the greeting, “Merry J Christmas,” but it never grow S old and it is crammed with mean , ing that all of the years have fail * ed to exhaust. Let us look once again at this familiar first Christ j mas message. } A Message of Love c All Christmas messages that are { not purely formal are messages » of love. They are born out of love i and they seek to give that love ex , pression. This in pre-eminently J true of the first Christmas mes -1 sage. Back of it is the love of 3 God that passeth knowledge. The f breadth of which we can never - measure and the depth of which - we can never sound. The human ; loves that we know are beyond i t our understanding—the, love of parent for child, the love of child; ■ fui parent, the love of friend for friend. How much more is the love of God, to which full expres-j s ; on was given at Bethlehem, be-1 y-jnd the comprehension of our poor finite minds. Foremost in our minds at the Christmas sea son is this one thing of which we are reminded afresh with . such forcefulness as we look a gain upon the Bethlehem monger and the cradled babe until we cry out of our ecstacy of soul, ‘ What . snail separate us from the love of God?” The Christmas message expresses a love that did not stop to count the cost. When it de clares, “Unto you is born a Saviour,” it reminds us also of tiie infinite cost of Bethlehem to God—that “God so loved the world, that he gave his only' be gotten Son, that whosoever be iieveth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” It announces a love which defies the unworthiness of its object, a love that gave its best not tor good men but for sinners. The wonder of Bethlehem parallels the wonder which Paul saw in Calvary when he cried, “God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” A Message of Salvation The first Christmas message is moreover a message of salvation and therefore a message of hope. It announces that one has come who is not only to be our great teacher, as important as that is, but he is also to save his people from their sins. How that com ing changes the color of- life! There is a familiar story about an artist who painted a picture of a winter twilight scene. The ground was covered with snow and the naked trees stood outlined a gainst a grey and lowering sky. In the background was an old * dilapidated farmhouse, its bare - windows looking out upon an | uninviting scene. The whole was f a picture of desolation. Then the I artist with a few strokes of his 1 brush placed a light in the win- 1 dow of the old house, and the pic-1 8 lure was completely changed from 11 one of desolation to one of warm- j | th and cheer. That is what the]l first Christmas message does. It, I changes the whole color and tone IB of life because it announces that g BUCKJONES FOR Public Hauling O R Transfer Service | You Are Invited | to attend an opening and showing of Cambridge Hand- %l ♦ made Crystal, Rose-Point, Chantilly and many other \WIf 1 patterns: \ * Monday December 16,1940 I 10:00 A.

It rffersj a new purity to those whose lives have become soiled. It oilers' a new liberty to those who have: been bound with chains of sin I that no man can break for them and from which they cannot es cape of themselves. It offers a new life to those who have made ship wreck of the old and would like to start over again. A Messages of Joy Oftentimes we think we could be supremely happy if two things should happen for us; first of all, if all our needs could be supplied; and secondly, if in the midst of enjoyment of our blessings we could know that somebody loved us. The first Christmas message announces that both of these tilings are true, that God loves us with a holy and eternal and self giving love, and that by his grace our deepest needs are supplied threugh hhis Son. Therefore the Christmas message is the world’s greatest message of joy. o Marx Bros. “Go West” in Comedy To End Westerns Presenting the Marx Broth ers—Groucho, Chico and Harpo—l in their first “period picture,”' “Go West,” a wild and woolly comedy laid in the 1870 outdoors comes to the Palace Theatre, Monday for an engagement of two days.

It is the fint time anyone nas ever poked fun at the big bad men, hard-boiled sirens, love ly heroines and brave heroes of the Early West. The Marxes do so by making the picture a howl from start to finish. To help things along, they don pioneer day costumes, revamped to suit their own ideas. They are aided in their fun and excitement by a stellar cast which includes John Carroll, Di ana Lewis, Walter Woolf King and Robert Barrat. These were put through laugh paces by Di rector Edward Buzzell, and the picture was produced by Jack Cummings.
