I quote, “Everyone is going

the side that it should be thought
of.
It’s deplorable that we do put so
much emphasis on gift-giving and
so little on the real meaning of
Christmas. Some are expressing
disapproval — but most of us
shrug the religious side of Christ
mas off with the remark of *‘oh'
Let the preachers take care of
that part of it.”
Since we are the church and the
preachers do not have much to
lead without the members. 1 am
afraid the preachers can’t get far
with Christmas without the mem
bership.
Gift-giving is a privilege and a
responsibility of proclaim
ing, “Jesus Christ Is Lord” and
reminds one and all that Christ
mas is a Holy Day rather than a
holiday — and that each one of us
has a responsibility to make it a
sacred day.
And in wishing each one a good
Christmas, I wish you “T h e
Peace” in your heart that "pass
eth Understanding” and would
like to close with this line. I do
not know the author, but I quote
“I know not how that Bethlehem's
Babe Could in the Godhead be; I
only know the Manger Child has
brought news life to me!”
I hope that we will all be
around through 1961 to enjoy the
Covington News together. Merry
Christmas Everybody!

The postwar revolution in
rail motive power is pointed up
by the fact that steam loco

per cent of all rail freight traf

per cent of such traffic —
steamers, less than 1 per cent.
