THE CAROLINIAN RALEIGH, N. C., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24 19« t 4 For unto us, a child is bom, unto us, a son is given, unto us, a man, God in the flesh, is given. He matured and brought to the world the greatest of all ideas, for he challenged the common men to stand up on their feet and look at God. face to face and call him Path If God is the Father of all men we are 1 Editorial Viewttow f ft Glory To The Full-Grono u « Let us be different this Yuletide Season, and pay homage to a young man of thirty who brought to the world a new gospel or a new idea. It was so much more wonderful than anything that had been proclaimed before, for the Jews. Now this same mes sage is brought to all men everywhere, Moses, seeing the Children of Israel were becoming fascinated with the man-made gods of the wilderness in Canaan, persuad ed the people to place their dependence in just one God who is sufficient to sustain them. To accept Him would eliminate doz ens of sacrifices to dozens of gods thriving in that country among the so-called heath ens. This idea did away with divided loy alty to the man, gods of the time. Then another prophet preached the idea that God is a God of justice, who plays no favors to anybody whether rich or poor, high or low, and what is more—this God is fair and sees to it that men received their just rewards for their earthly stewardship Next, a third prophet, whose wife de serted him for another, forgave her with all his heart and took her back though it grieved him greatly. Then, it dawned upon him that if poor mortal man, like him, can forgive, how much more wonderful it was to have a God who was a God of love and mercy. Nearly 2000 years ago. the angels he aided the birth of a new born king in a manger in Bethlehem of Judea; several wise men journeyed far to get a glimpse of him; shepherds, watching their flock be night, beheld a star in the east and went and found the young child sleeping in a manger. Now what was there for the young man of thirty years to add that had not already been said. Simply this, if God is the Father of all men, then all men (of every nation ality, color, and creedj were his children and he was their Father. If God is the Father of men. then all men are his chil dren—-brothers and sisters, as matter of fact. The implication of this teaching w-s the basic of present-day democracy and no man should be considered better than another in the sight of God. The rulers of the Jews w'ere not fools, and they understood the implication of this teaching. The Sanhedrin and other Jewish officials realized if this teaching prevailed, their power would be lost over the people—the common men. women and children. The teaching emphasized that ev ery man and woman had a personal dig Even Handicapped People Make Strong All over the nation we have men handi capped by blindness, deafness, crippling factors, unbridled emotions and unstable minds, speech and language defects, and many more. Experience has taught that many of these people with the odds against them became great leaders in many walks of life. For instance, Raleigh Cipriano, who ov ercame complete blindness became a top insurance agent for the New York Life In surance Company. For his 40 years of ef ficient service, he was recently honored by his associates at a weekly breakfast given by the District of Columbia Association of Underwriters. Despite the blind man’s loss of vision in 1938, he qualified for the Million Dollar Round Table of New York Life’s leader ship clubs each year for not just one year but 40. Meanwhile he made his impression upon the nation only to be listed in the Much Luck To Florida M emorial i <>T * Florida Memorial N&I College, present ly located in St. Augustine’s Fla., will be relocated in Miami, Florida in January, 1968. During the past year and esoeciaPy with ten weeks of campaigning for funds, the college raised itself a total of $565,000 to invesf in the new plant. We have been interested for many months in this relocation proposal, and it is about to be “finalized.” A week ago. the Florida Sentinel-Bulletin, published at Tampa, carried a full-page disolav show ing the campus land diagram and building sites and pictures of church officials who had a prominent part of the vision of the institution’s venture into a new area — what the Old Testament might have labelled a “far country.” Much of the money to build dormitories, classrooms structures, administrative halls came from the federal government.
