and beautiful . . . well it was
like a glitter covered Christ
mas Card! We lost most of the
day just running from the
front green beautiful scene to
the back fairyland . . . and
thinking of all the different
joys of beauty God brings to
each of us . . . and right be
hind that high hill of trees in
the back . . . you can see the
last grave on this side of the
cemetery, with a beautiful
wreath of Christmas colors on
it. That’s the grave of my
downstairs neighbor’s husband
. . right across the hall from
me is a lady and her lovely
daughter who was a member
of the Girls Auxiliary of the
First Baptist Church, we orga
nized when we first came here.
Yes, this is Christmas Eve
. . . two years ago tonight was
the happiest Christmas Eve
night I think I ever spent, not
knowing the sorrow Christmas
morning would bring . . . Cold
OH! Standing at my compan
ion’s side, at Newton Hospital,
somehow I just gave complete
ly out . . . wilted . . could not
stand up another minute . . and
I never tried to rest until
around 12 any night, at the
earliest, for all those four
months . . . but I was done for.
Went to the desk for something
and they told me it seemed
like we were going to have a
blizzard it was so cold. I went
back in the room and made
excuses to him that it was turn
ing so cold. I’d better run over
•to the house for the rest of
the night and get me some
warm clothes for if I took a
cold they would not let me
back in his room. He urged me
then to go so I would not get
sick. When I arrived at home
and turned on the lights, in the
middle of that big block my
'phone started ringing . . my
sweet neighbors just waited to
see that light to know how he
was. Mrs. Smith said something
about it being Christmas Eve
... I did not even know it was,
I had been so troubled one day
and night just melted into an
other ... so I looked at the
clock and it was only 9 o'clock
. . and I was shocked it was
so early ... so into a wool dress
and right back to the hospital
. . . when I arrived he was
actually eating something!
First time in days . . . My ex
cuse to him for coming back
was that I saw it was so early
I just had to come back for a
little while . . and he was so
happy . . , his eyes were so
bright, just looking all around
and looked like a new person.
Happy I was . . , When I fin
ally did go and kissed him good

Recreation Center
Dedicated Sunday
At Nelson Heights
The Covington and Newton
County Recreation Center was for
mally dedicated Sunday afternoon
at ceremonies at the recently -
constructed building in Spillers
Park in Nelson Heights.
The mistress of ceremonies was
Mrs. Olivia Howard of the Wash
ington Street School faculty. Prof.
N. H. Mitchell, principal of the
Washington Street School, and
George Jefferson, chairman of the
Recreation Center project, partici
pated on the program. Prof. Mit

vice of men.” Mr. Jefferson is

During the program Christmas

night . . he smiled so sweetly,
and actually lifted his arm up
and reached over and took my
hand and pressed it to his lips
and kissed it several times . .
then squeezed it and smiled.
I ran out telling the nurses at
the desk how much better he
was ... I was up at six and
ready to go back next morning
for I had actually slept . . .
and I realized at 6‘ they did not
need me so I just walked the
floor until nearly 7 . . . when
I arrived he had just taken the
last breath . . I think maybe
God planned it that way . .
Don't you? I was hurt not to
be at his side ... for I had not
left him for a year before this
. . . But now thats over . . and
you know what . . . I’m going
to fill my little apartment so
full of family and friends next
Christmas, and just cook, and
cook and cook, like I used to,
until I will not have time to
think . .and I know we are to
look forward and not back .. I
know and you know . . that the
sorrows, disappointments and
hurts of life, no matter of what
nature . . . fires . . . loss of
loved ones . . disappointment
in a neighbor, a child, a true
friend all these things . . if we
are walking hand in hand
with Christ CAN and
WILL be stepping stones to
life eternal . . for they are les
sons brought to each of us . . .
We can see the ugliness in
those who would hurt you, and
say sincerely “God Forgive
them for they know not what
they do.” Lead them to thy
side!
Our hearts bleed with Mrs.
Frank Williams and her son
and Ruth Odum Gay and fami
ly at the loss of their com
panions and father at this
Christmas season . . . Those
who have walked this pathway
are truly the only ones who
REALLY KNOW just how to
sympathize! Our hearts go out
to you in a very special way
that you might grasp tightly
the hand the Saviour holds out
to lead you through this sor
row and bring to your hearts
that peace and perfect under
standing. and comfort that he
alone can bring ... In the
words of Tiny Tim . . I say to
each of you everywhere . . .
