Green Thumb Club
Entertains at
Christmas Tea

of the first Christmas Tea given
by the Green Thumb Garden Club.
The club graciously extended an
invitation to the Richmond Hill
Club to spend the evening with |
them.
Mrs. Kelly Davis and Mrs. Vir
ginia Rushing were hostesses for
the evening with many of the
other members participating in
decorating and furnishing refresh
ments.
A piano arrangement of tiny
choir boys and hurricane lamps
was made by Miss Ogla Haymans.
The book shelves were decorated
by Mrs. Sammie Williams and
Mrs. Berdell Taylor. The mantel
arrangement featured holly and
an unusual camellia-studded star
and was the work of Mrs. Clarice
Futch and Mrs. Mildred Futch.
Punch, cookies and sandwiches
were served from a beautifully
decorated table using the Wise
Men theme. White glittering palm
spathes surrounded the punch bowl
and tiny figurines of the Wise
Men were placed at the top of
each spathe. The filled spathes
symbolized the offerings of the
Magi. At each end of the, table
were placed large decorated pine
apples made by Mrs. Clarice Futch
and Mrs. Mildred Futch. The ar
rangement of the Magi was the
work of Mrs. Kelly Davis.

REV. JOHN G. IVEY
Christians Need
Christmas
by Rin. John G. Ivey
Pautov, Richmond Hill
Methodixt Church
Everyone concedes the reprobate
or derelict sinner needs Christmas
or Christ, in his life. Certainly he
does, but in this year 1960 we
realize more than ever Christians
need Christmas. Not to put Christ
back into Christmas because with
out Christ there is no Christmas.
December 25th is just another
secular holiday, without Christ.
Christians need Christmas first
to give them the comfort and as
surance of “God with us” during
the chaos permeating the world
today. We need Christmas, be
cause in the humble birth of Jesus,
God Himself broke into the stream
of human history to live with
men and to save them.
Christians need Christmas to
help them feel and respect the
dignity of every human being. If
God marked the advent of His
Son with such miraculous simpli
city as a little babe being born
in a stable and when He grew
up “he went about doing good”, i
holding little children on His lap, |
fishing with His friends, healing ’
the sick, the lame, the halt and i
the blind, without respect of caste 1
or race, certainly He expects us
to love and help the people whom
He created, when we find any in
need.
Christians need Christmas to
assure us that man can receive
God even though he has sinned
against him. Into the darkness
of an evil world, the Light of Life
came to light the way to eternal
life.
No man is so far into a dark
corner that he cannot be redeem
ed by that Light. No person is
beyond the possibility of being
saved. No one born with the spark
of the image of a living heavenly
Father can sink so low that he
will be outside the reach of a
living heavenly Father.
Hope follows the miracle of
Christmas. One cannot join the
wise men and shepherds of old at
the manger of Bethlehem, without
rising from the experience of wor
ship with hope in his heart. Hope
for himself, his fellow men and
his world, because in worshiping
Christ the Lord, he finds the as
surance that “He’s Got the whole
world in His hand”.
Do Christians need Christmas?
I Yes, they need Christmas and are
I thankful for the words in Matthew
1:23 “And they shall call his name
Emmanuel, which being interpret
ed is. God with us”.

To Richmond Hill
Richmond Hill extended its slim
half-time margin. 26-23, to finally
record a 55 to 49 decision over
