In one state last year more than 600 churches perticipated. It is requested that illumination of churches can be accomplished by various means; through inside lighting to illumine stained glass windows; floodlighting steeples, towers, porticoes; odd nooks and doorways, Churches symbolize the Light of God, and give tribute to His Son and our Lord, Jesus Christ who is the “Light of the World.” Whether it be chapel or cathedral, on a hill or busy street, let its light shine this Christnras. Tourists, as well as the home folks, will be traveling through our state during Christmas. Let’s have the churches lighted to pro claim the birth of Christ, and His presence. The Athens churches will join in this lighting which the church women of Georgia are promoting. A beautiful star shines over the door of the Firsr Prespyterian and the other churches are being iluminated in different ways. Beginning today the First Methodist and Central Presbyte rian churches wiii be lighted and their chimes will ring out pro claiming the birth of Jesus Christ. * % @ Miss Betty Cook - Is Bride of s Bride of Mr., Charles Bob Haynie STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga.—Miss Betty Belle Cook, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cosby Jerome Cook, Tucker, became the bride of Charlie Bob Haynie, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chester S.
