Christmas and Martha Berry
By Mrs. Inez Henry
Guest Columnist
(Editor’'s Note: Mrs. Inez
Henry is Assistant to the Pres
ident of The Berry Schools,
Mount Berry, Georgia.)
- * - .
Christmas was always very
real to Martha Berry because
she made it real to others.
Many years ago when she
first began her Sunday Schools,
(from which The Berry Schools
of today grew) Martha Berry
was driving her horse and bug
gy into the hills around her
home in North Georgia. She
inquired of the mountain peo
ple whom she met how they
planned to observe Christmas!
She was amazed and grieved to
have a small lad whom she
questioned tell her that he had
never heard of Santa Claus.
Her great heart was equally
touched to have the child’s
mother reply, “Christmas is
jest a-nuther day fer we'uns.”
Martha Berry determined
that such an answer must not
be given again by the neigh
boring mountain people. She
made big plans for a party and
a Christmas tree in old Possum
Trot Church at the foot of
wivendar Mountain some miles
from her home at Oak Hill.
There was a tree reaching
from the floor to the rafters of
the old church. By spending the
money which she had put aside
for gifts to her family and
close friends, and by wrapping
most of her own ‘kerchiefs,
ribbons and other “treasures”
as well as ransacking the
trunks and dresser drawgrs and
taking the belongings of her
sisters and brothers, she was as
last able to find a remem
brance for all of the crowd of
parents, grandoarents and chil
dren who walked for miles 1o
see their first real Christmas
tree. When the festive occa
sion was over, she watched the
guests as they trudged
ou the church door to
go back home over dim f{rails
by the light from torches, and
determined tha‘ Christmas
would always be a time for
snreading cheer and making
Christ real.
Today at The Berry Schools
Christmas is observed in a
unique way which has become
as much a part of Berry as
landmarks such as the old mill
wheel or the spires on the
barnes.
In the Boy’s School at the
close of the nativity scenes in
the stone chapel on the hill,
the congregation marches dou
ble file from the chapel, the
students leading, and each per
son carrying a lighted candle.
The double line forms from the
top of the hill down the wind
ing walk, all the way to the
bottom of the hill. The chimes
play from the chapel spire and
the line moves in silence, ex
cept the sound of soft footsteps.
IHE COVINGTON NEWS
The line of light winding down |
the hill is a never=-to-be-for
gotten scene, with the lighted|
cross shining out from the top
of the chapel spire.
The Carol Service in the,
Mount Berry Chapel on the
College campus is just as mov
ing. The youthful voices of the
college men and women join
in singing the carols. The na
tivity pantomine, acted by stu
dents, is most impressive, A
student brings the Christmasl
Scripture, another the prayer
and the Herald Angel Choms‘
of girls, with their candles
gleaming as the only light in
the chapel as they sing that
familiar number, “Hark the
Herald Angels Sing” is breath
taking. |
One cannot witness the
Christmas programs without
knowing that Christmas was‘
real to Martha Berry, and that
she has made it real to thou-l
sands who have shared in the
traditional Christmas services
at Berry. For an unusua!‘
Christmas service, why don’t
you join the students at Berry
Schools near Rome, Georgia on
evenings of December 17th and
19th. Your local service sta
tion operator will be g'ad to as
sist you in planning this trip.
Courtesy makes friends and
prevents accidents. When driv
ing slow-moving ftractors and
other farm machinery down a
highway, pull off the pave
ment to let faster traffic pass,
suggests Willis Huston, Exten
sion agricultural engineer at
the University of Georgia.

PEACE ON EARTH
When Christ was born of
Mary, the angels praised God
and sang: “Glory to God in
the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men” (Luke
2:14). |
This glad carol of the angles
seems farther from the truth
today than it ever was, and as
a result many have become
cynical and have concluded
that the Bible is not true; that
the angel’s song was but a
pleasant, hopeful thought.
Those who feel this way don’t
know their Bibles very well,
though, or they would know
why we have such unrest today,
instead of peace.
Qur Lord was indeed the
long-promised King, through
whom His people and the
whole world were to enjoy
peace and true prosperity.
John the Baptist appeared as
the King's herald. The twelve
apostles went forth “preach
ing the gospel of the kingdom"
(Matt. 4:23). The four Gospel
records are filled with proofs
and demonstrations of Christ's
royal rights. But the King was
rejected, as God had prophesi
ed He would be at His first ad
vent (I Pet. 1:11). Over His
cross Pilate placed a sign, say
ing: “This is Jesus, the King
of the Jews.” Today, then, the
King is a royal Exile from the
(Largest Coverage Any Weekly In The State
world over which He should
be reigning.
Is it strange, then, that we
do not yet enjoy peace on
earth? The second Psalm des
‘ribes the folly of the nations
and their rulers in ignoring this
basic fact and predicts that
God will laugh, as it were, at
their derision as they seek to
run the world without His Son.
Thank God, this period ofl
Christ’'s rejection is also a
wonderful period of grace.
When sin had risen to its height,\
God saved Saul of Tarsus, the
leader of the world’s rebellion
against Christ, and sent him
forth to proclaim “the gospel
of the grace of God” (Acts
20:24) the good news that
“Christ died for our sins,” and
that any sinner may be recon
ciled to God by faith in
Christ. This is why the Bible
calls the divine administration
under which we are living “the
dispensation of the grace of
God” (Eph. 3:2) So, while
“peace on earth” awdits a fu
ture day, we may now have
“peace with God, through our
Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom. 5:1).
