Yet it was left to the founder of Christianity to give to 1 the world a proper example of the ; meaning of this doctrine, which he did both by the spoken word and the acted deed.

' 1 1 Ad-naA aa fVia "VlSlhl'f V to me, nan ucch d v.. h of love in action." Vi ThinV of others and help them as Jliyou go through life; this is the com ,1 mandment that Jesus gave in his Tt is n messatre which many need in this modern age when so much emphasis is placed upon our own comfort, ease and pleasure, and so little concern is taken in the happi nese and welfare of others. It is in- V teresting to note that the helpfulness with which Jesus used to illustrate his teaching here was not in any big ! thing but in the simple essentials of lifn. food, clothes, health, companion ship and rehabilitation. To practice in these arts any man or woman is capable and able if guided by the proper spirit. These duties we owe to our neigh bors, and some of us, like the ancient scribe; might ask who our neighbors are. 'Xs Jesus was teaching on one occasion, a lawyer asked him what Was necessary to inherit eternal life, being solicitious as to the welfare of hisUmmortal soul, just as most ol IJS. Jesus allowed his questioner to reply to his own query and when he had repeated the familiar Jewish formula about love to God and his neighbor, Jesus placed, his stamp of approval thereon, saying "This do and thbu shalt live.'' But the scribe, wishing to explain why he had hmuirht ud for discussion a matter which could be so easily answered, in CKristmas Trees Go Modernistic quired further and asked Jesus who his neighbor' was. The Parable of the Good Samari tan, one of the most beautiful stories in all literature, was the answer Jesus gave to the questioner. Then, Jesus asked the lawyer to say vo had been neighbor to this Jew, plain ly pointing out that tnere was o artificial bounds fixed upon human brotherhood. 1 While we are living in an age in which philanthropy has been very I generous and which has probaWipr- j ganized. charity upon a more scusnum. basis than ever before, we are pro bably running the risk of fulfilling all our obligations to be neighborly by proxy. Most of us contribute small amounts of cash to various social and welfare organizations and seek to ease our conscience to the burden which it would feel if we were to en ter in the presence of human misery, sorrow and distress, sme of us are restrained from little acts of kindness and helpfulness by a certain timidity, being afraid to trust the heart of humanity for ite proper response to a kindness render ed. How much better the world would be if each one of us tried to show at least one person each day that somebody else was interested in his life. It would not necessarily take much time or money and would come almost instinctively if we un reservedly accepted the social teach ings of our Savior, A verse by Marguerite Wilkinson is as follows: .1 mz&rj$fr i - v:v- ; - M t i i 1 ited Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Goodwin Friday evening.

I f Here's Uhere To Buy A Modernistic Christmas Tree, :to Leipzig ''air I never cut my neighbor's throat; My neighbor's gold I never stole, I never spoiled his house and land ; But, God have mercy on my soul! For I am haunted night and day By all the deeds I have not done; O, unattempted loveliness! O, costly valor never won! Y. W. A. MEETS The December meetine of the Y W. A. of the Hertford Baptist Church was held Monday evening witn miss Marian Raper. The president, Miss Raper, opened the meeting with the devotional, af ter which the society was led in prayer by Mrs. T. W. Perry. . A very interesting Christmas story was given by Mrs. T. W. Perry and was much enjoyed by all. Officers for the coming year were elected. The hostess, assisted by Miss Mar garet Divers, served a delicious salad course to the following: Misses Essie Walker, KatheVine Campen, Mattie Lane, Lizzie Lee Hoffler, Mesdames Willie Ainsley, T. W. Perry, B. L. Gibbs and Tom Raper. The January meeting will be held with Mrs. Willie Ainsley. SANTA Cl.AUS, who, of course, trims all the Christinas trees, has long been old fashioned tn his tastes. His traditional pack has car ried the same tree ornaments for generations. We have been brought up od the gilt balls, silver stars and faded tinsels, which he hangs from the limbs often with little taste or Imagination. The Christmas tree has been one of the last features of the home to feel the new spirit of the decorative arts. It Is at last receiving the seri ous attention of modern decorators. The tree large or small baa great decorative possiuilities. Instead of covering It haphazard with conven tional ornaments, it is treated as an artistic unit whose ornamenta tion must conform to a definite design. The decora'.ion of tlie modern Christinas tree .vill be definitely in the modernistic spirit. Each orna ment is carefully designed for the DurDose. The familiar materials, glass, tinsels, colors and paper are employed, but the designs are more individual an . each has a charm or its owu. The tendency In modern istic Christmas nee decoration is to employ fewer and larger units. A striking example of new decoration shown herewith was a Teature of the Leipzig Fair this year. The stars used for decoration are made ! golden straw. Hundreds of aew de signs for Christmas tree decora tions are now available. The Spring session of the Leipzig Fair to be held from March 5th to 14th will be the 1980th session of the historic exchange. N. C.
