Keep Christ In
Christmas
Representing Midway Church
by Robert Fennell
In this great era, in marry in
stances, our Christ has taken
second place, or possibly left out,
on His own birthday. We find in
Luke’s Gospel, 2:11—“For unto
you is born this day in the city
of David a Saviour, which is Christ
the Lord.”

the decorations, the beautiful
lights with their gaudy colors that
we place in and around our home
and lawn; all this time and pre
paration, is for man (the world)
or to glorify the name of our
Lord on His birthday? This is
CHRIST’S birthday, not christ;
neither is it X’s birthday as our
modern usage of Xmas typifies.
It is Christ on Christmas day.
I Then let. Christmas keep us rather
I than our observing and celebrating
Christmas without Christ.
If we’re going to give, give in
the Spirit of Christ which is from
the heart. Take thought of what
you give because it might dishonor
the name of our Lord and Saviour.
"God will honor those who honor
His Son. Without Christ there is
no Christmas. Unless Christ has
been born in you, He has never
been born for you”, says George
Euting, Bible Scholar.
Keep CHRIST in your heart
and CHRIST in Christmas.
Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Speir, Sr.
are, in Atlanta with Mr. and Mrs.
C. L. Purvis, Jr. They went
especially to see their young
grandson, Carlton L. Purvis, 111.
Mrs. Purvis is the former Miss
Joan Speir.
Friends of Mrs. J. E. Lewis are
delighted to know that she will be
well enough to resume her school
bus route when school begins after
Christmas. Mrs. Lewis was in the
hospital for some time but is now
at home and able to be out.
Bryan Farmers Get I
1961 Conservation
Program Handbooks
According to L. L. Reddick,
office manager of the ASC Com-: <
mittee office, Bryan farmers have j I
been mailed the 1961 Agricultural j i
Conservation Program (ACP)'i
handbooks. This handbook con-' i
tains the rates of cost-sharing ];
which the government will pay in l '
1961 to farmers who request and | ■
carry out conservation work on
farms in the county.
Much of the detailed description .
and specifications for conservation j
practices which are available have ;
been eliminated from the hand
book. Only a brief description and
the rates of cost-sharing for each !
practice is given. “It is hoped 1
that this will make the handbook I
more useful," Mr. Reddick states. |
“The farmer can obtain details of !
the practice he is interested in i
when he files his request for cost- j
sharing at the ACS office.” Mr. i
Reddick emphasized the require-1
ment that a request must be filed j
before beginning work on the con-1
servation measure.
Bryan’s farmers receive approxi
mately $20,000 annually through I
this program for carrying out |
practices to conserve our soil and
Water resources. Some of these |
practices for which cost-sharing is '
available are (1) establishing
permanent pasture, (2) liming:
farmland to be devoted to land
building grasses or legumes, (3) I
planting trees, (4) clearing wood
land of undesirable vegetation to
allow unhindered growth of trees,
(5) deep wells for livestock for
better grassland management, and
(fi) winter and summer cover
crops on land needing protection
from erosion.
The initial sign-up period for
filing requests is January 3
through January 31, 1961.
MRS. KANGETER IS
HOME FROM BULLOCH
COUNTY HOSPITAL
Good news to her many friends i
is the fact that Mrs. A. G. Kange- j
ter is at home after a lengthy stay |
in Bulloch County Hospital and I
is much improved.
It i: hoped that Mrs. Kangeter .
will remain well during the holi- 1
day season and that during the I
New Year she will enjoy much [
better health.
Mrs. Kangeter will be happy for
her friends to call by and see her |
since she will not be getting out
very much because of her health
and weather conditions.
Miss Callie McWhirter, Athens!
and Fort Lamar, will arrive this !
week to be with her sister, Mrs. i
D. E. Medders, and Mr. Medders
