Cieeds were worn threadbare.'
Even the grand code of Israel
which had stood out- in the pagan
world was waxing old' and' losing ;
its savor. The word of Politics
was growing old and. corrupt. The;
spirit of freedom in the- hearts- of
men was dying out.
And so man must be reborn— I
। the world needed the restoration
of the child heart. The restless,
selfish, anxious spirit which
possessed the children of men was
one which tended to wither every
good motive and lofty desire.
Men needed to realize that man’s
life does not consist in the abund
ance of his possessions. Yes, the •
Saviour came to teach us that as
far as life was concerned men
might live with the happy trust
fulness of children who had faith
that their Heavenly Father knew
what things were good for man.
Come what may, nothing can
efface the mark which Christmas
has made on the eternal round of
the years. Dear brethren, let us,
therefore, in spite of the shouting
and turmoil, the fears and sorrows
common to man, in spite of per
sonal difficulties and the march
of the world with the crash of its
conflicting powers, take heart. Let
us go now even unto Bethlehem.

Blind Negro Is
Recovering from
Assault Wounds
Paul Maxwell, blind Negro man
who for many years has been a
familiar sight on Pembroke streets
tapping along with his cane, was
clubbed last week by a Negro
youth who claimed at first that
[ he was 16 years old.
The youth said by officers to
| have clubbed the man over the
[ head after the blind Negro had
reprimanded him for cursing and
' misbehaving at the older man’s
I home. Investigating officers, Tom
I Collins, Pembroke Chief of Police,
[and R. I. Raulerson, deputy
; sheriff, carried Maxwell to the
[ office of a local physician where
I several stitches were necessary to
close the wound.
The officers took Russell Hodges
into custody. The young Negro
first claimed to be 16 years old
but his age was later established
as 19, officers said. The incident
happened about one o’clock Satur
day afternoon.
Hodges was lodged in the Pem
broke jail and tried by F. C.
Drexel, judge of City Court. He
was said to have been given six
months in Reidsville or SIOO. It
is understood that Hodges is not
from Pembroke.
Trey Curl, Mercer University
student, is with his parents, Mr.
