Luke 2:10. The Light Still Shines On Christmas Day a soldier in Viet nam, dirty with jungle mud and blood, will tear open a letter from home. For a few minutes, he will forget his bone-ach ing fatigue, remembering boyhood days with his family and the excitement of giving and getting Christmas present.s. The sour sweat smell of barracks and the dank green odor of jungle camps will be replaced by the smell of fresh white sheets on the old bod at home on Christmas Eve, the pungence of Christ mas trees and the aroma of Mama’s bis cuits from the kitchen. The illusion will bo gone even before the letter is finished and that soldier will long for peace far more than any of us who may never have seen a battlefield. World peace, at Christmas 1969, re mains the chief desire of the vast major ity of Ihp world’s citizens. “Peace on earth, good will to men" The continuing prayer at Christmas time is that the w'orld will put into prac tice the principles of humanity practiced by the Prince of Peace. The Chri.stmas season is a joyful one, as the birth of Christ Is celebrated all over the world by people of all sects and religions. Luke 2:1-20 records *■ The Greatest Miracle,” which the Herald reprints as a Christmas message: “And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cae sar Augustus, that all the world .should be taxed, (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria). And .ill went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (be cause he was of the house and lineage of David) To be taxed with Mary his espou-sed wife, being great with child. And so it was, while they were there, the days were come that she should be de livered. And she brought forth her first born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; be cause there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, \\ hich shall be to all people For unto you is born this day in the city of David a .Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swad dling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to anoth er, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and .see this thing which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.” DECADE EXPmiNG Look Magazine has labeled an in teresting series of articles in its Decem ber 30, 1969 edition: Tht Sixties — An Unbelievable Decade.” And they were. What other 10 years have been so loaded with tragedy, tri umph and change? On the threshold of the Seventies we can look back and remember assas sination after incredible assassination.. Protest, Protest, Protest, and then the IMPOSSIBLE happened in 1969: three men made it to the moon and the In credible Mets became world champions, all in the same year. 'The protestors are still protesting, .suits, mini skirts, and the long-haired male became symbols of something, the war went on in Vietnam, and a girt walked out a window because she was high on LSD. There were many other events which indicated a considerable change in the direction and pace of living The world svill bid farewell next Wednesday night to The Sixties. Thurs day, January 1, will be Sie beginning of a brand, new year and a brand, new de cade, The Seventie.?. A ChrisliiMM Gilt Announcement that the nearly $2 million Kings Mountain Urban Renewal Project is apmx)ved can be consfdered a Christmas ^irt to the community Said Mayor Moss after announce ment of the funding by the U. S. Depart ment of Mousing and Urban Develop ment; “I am highly elated at the approv al of this project because it is a continu ing effort on the part of the City of Kings Mountain to provide a quality en vironment in which its citizens ttan live, work, and play.” The Cansler Stiwt Project will en tail clearance of di^idated residences in tha ^nsler street area and replace ment of these with private hous^ de signed to meet the need « low income families, both for rental arid home own ership. This is indeed good news on the eve of Christmas Eve tmd a Christinas pa«s- ent which will make a lot of folks happy. Hungry children are sad and more so at this the happiest season of the year. Give to the Empty Stocking Fund .so that Christmas will be merry for everyone. CInristmaB 19C9 The message “It is Christmas” was written by Dorothy Chase Adams and appeared first in the Christian Sci ence Sentinel, December 20, 1952. It reads: Did love speak to you today? In .some new glorious way? Then it is Christmas. Did faith move in upon the scene Where doubt and darkness once had ben? Then it is Christmas Did hope replace a nagging fear Or sadness yield its place to cheer? Then it is Christinas. And w'hen you know God’s love for you Is just the same the whole year through Each day is Christmas. Congratulations to C.
