Christmas
Continued From 3rd Front
be to all people. For unto you
is born this day in the city of
David a Saviour, which is
Christ the Lord.” You shall
find the babe wrapped in swad
dling clothes lying in a manger,
and suddenly there was with
the angel a multitude of the
heaveniy host praising God, and
saying, Glory to God in t h e
highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.
When the angel had gone
away, the shepherds said one
to another, let us go unto Beth
lehem and see this miracle
which the Lord hath made
known unto us. The shepherds
followed the star to the place
where Jesus was born. They
found the baby Jesus as it had
been revealed unto them. Such
a discovery will cause the knee
to bend and the soul of man to
stand before the Saviour in re
spectful awe, indescribable re
verence, and unyielding loyal
ty. Jesus was not born in a
palatial mansion. He was born
in an ordinary stable. This of
fers no cause to criticize the
innkeeper because other guests
had taken every available
space.
Edwin Markham has written:
“The King of Heaven had come
our way,
And in a lowly stable lay.
He had decended from the sky,
In answer to the world’s long
cry.
Decended in a byric burst,
Os high archangles going first,
Unto the lowest and the least,
To humble bird and weary
beast.
His place was a wayside shed,
A battered manger was His bed,
An ox, an ass with breathings
deep |
Made warm the chamber of
His sleep.” ‘
They Worshiped |
When the spepherds had wor-~
shipped the Christ Child, they
returned, glorifying and prais-]
ing God for all the things thevg
had heard and seen, even as it
was told unto them. The shep
herd told others about t h e
Christ. As long as there are
tongues to speak and ears to
hear, the story of Christmas
will be shared. If for some rea
son man no longer occupies the
earth, nature will not be able
to constrain herself; and t h e
rippling brooks, floated clouds
and russling leaves will pro
claim the birth of the Saviour.
And so Christ was born.
“Born that man no more may
die, Born to raise the sons of
earth, Born to give them second
birth. Hark! the herald angels
sing, (and all the earth sings)
‘Glory to the new born King.”
The Ageless Story
This ageless story of Christ
mas had always been a source
of inspiration. The truth of
Christmas is unfathomable. It
is not a fantasy, neither is it a
legend. It is a true fact by
which men have found their
way out of a jungle of futility to
a land of beauty and meaning.
It is a refreshing spring out of
which a thirsty humanity may
drink the water of life. It is the
hope of eternal life upon which
men have marched for nineteen
fHE COVINGTON NEWS
centuries. It is God’'s way of
telling us that no hope is too
high, no dream too holy to be
fulfilled, even the hope a n d
dream of peace on eart. and
‘good will toward men.
; For me, Christmas Day is the
‘most thrilling day of the year.
}A lot of people seem to be
}worried about the increased
commercial emphasis that we
give to Christmas. This does
not distress me as long as we
¢ not neglect the spiritual
significance of Christmas.
I like to help decorate t h e
tree. It is a thrill to watch the
happy faces of little children
as they awake on Christmas
morning. I enjoy observing the
look of gladness expressed on
the faces of adults when they
open their gifts. To spend some
time shopping for others helps
us to tune the harsh notes of
selfishness and gives fresh
meaning to the words, “It is
more blessed to give than to re
ceive.,” (Acts 20:35).
May God give us the grace
to look beyond the cocktail
glass, the gaily wrapped pack
ages and the tables ladened with
food, to behold the man whose
birth we commemorate, a n d
catch a glimpse of the ever
lasting truth of Christmas.
Beyond The Superficial
I get a lot of satisfaction out
of dipping into the shallow and
partly superficial springs of
Christmas. The tragedy of this
Holy Season comes when we
are unable to see beyond the
glowing lights and beautiful
trimmings.
Christmas is more than just
a day. It is an experience. When
we experience Christmas, we
find the magic ingredient that
will last all the year. T h e
true meaning of Christmas
shines like the brightest star
on a dark winter’s night. It pro
vides light for the darkest times
of disappointment. It assures us
of the courage we need to facej
the painful days of sickness. It
offers to us the faith necessary‘
to meet the bitter hours of sor
row with Christian fortitude.
To experience Christmas is to
become acquainted with t h e
Christ whose birth we honor. |
TB Epidemic
Almost Ruined
Midwest School
Almost five per cent of the
school children in a small mid
western town infected with TB
germs within four months!
The first warning came in
December, 1959, when tl.e mu
sic teacher found he had TB.
Immediately the other teach
ers and the school children
were tuberculin skin-tested in
a cooperative project of t h e
school system, the health de
partment, and the TB Asso
ciation. Ten children and six
of the school staff were found
to be infected with TB germs,
but X-rays showed no active
TB.
Three months later, the high
school basketball coach noticed
that one of the boys on his team
tired easily. He tried to get the
boy to see a doctor but the boy
refused. Finally an order was
given: get a checkup or leave
school: The checkup showed
far advanced active TB.
Another tuberculin testing
program already had been plan
ned, and now it was put into
high gear. Sixty-four students,
it revealed, had been infected
with TB germs since the pre
vious test. Three of them need
ed to go to the hospital. It ap
peared from the available evi
dence that it had been t h e
tuberculosis of the basketball
player that had spread through
the school.
The 1,700 children attending
school were given further fol
lowup tests. The fifth, in May
1961, showed that the epidem
ic was under control. But, in
all, seven children had been
hospitalized with TB. So had
the music teacher and the five
year-old brother of one of the
sick school children. Ninety
eight other children had been
infected and were potential
TB cases.
Today, except for the athlete
with far-advanced TB who will
be sick for some time, all those
who went to the hospital are
back at school. Yet it is certain
that the people in this town,
many of whom had thought
that tuberculosis was well un
der control, will not soon re
lax their vigilance against this
smoldering menace.
Cost of Food
It takes about 61 cents of the
consumer’s food dollgr to pro
cess, transport and -distribute
foods today. This leaves less
than 40 cents of the food dol
lar for the grower of the pro
duct — or ten cents less than
he got ten vears ago, accord
ing to Miss Dorothy Powe, E\'-'
tension consumer marketing|
specialist. |

support this bright-eyed youngster as he
takes his first halting steps. Soon he’ll be

Self-reliance is one of the traits that has
made our nation great. And individual initia
tive is the precious heritage that America’s
business-managed companies—like the Geor
gia Power Company — offer the youth of
today.
Under our free enterprise system, the
people own American industry and the people
benefit from its efficient operation. This
voung lad represents the hundreds of boys
and girls—along with moms and dads, too—
who own shares in our company. They all
are our bosses.
In fact, almost 130,000 people of all ages
and from just about every walk of life own
stock in the Georgia Power Company and
its parent firm, The Southern Company,
It’s the American way of doing business
—a mighty big reason why there is plenty
of low-cost electricity helping to keep our
country strong and free.
