Tlie Yellow Card
Of Mississippi
MACON, Miss.—CP)—Mrs. Wiley
Lentz will open a clean envelope
this week and pull out a tattered,
yellowed Christmas card, the same
one she’s received every other
Christmas for 18 years.
A sister, Mrs. O. L. Turman of
Laurel, Miss., first sent the card
to Mrs. Lentz in 1937. Next year
Mrs. Lentz decided to cut down on
her budget. So she returned the old
card to her sister with this greet
ing:
“We can’t afford new ones
’Cause times are just too hard
So we send our best wishes
On your old Christmas card.”
The sisters have been exchang
ing the old card with new verses
ever since.

Santa Claus
(Continued from Page 1)
the Italians left two of Nicholas’
bones behind, and these ai’e now
in the museum at Antalya, nearest
large city to Demre.
Whatever the true story, it was
from Bari that Nicholas’ fame
spread. The day of his death Dec.
6 became a time for giving gifts
and rejoicing.
America’s early settlers are
blamed for corrupting the Dutch
pronounciation of St. Nicholas into
Santa Claus.

CHRISTMAS I.\ OUR HEARTS
. . And so in this way, my children, Christ
was born in Bethlehem.”
But Christmas is more than the celebration
of this event which happened long ago and far
away. It is a present reality.
Through the eyes of faith we see ourselves
kneeling before the manger. We have come to
adore our new-born King.
Through the wonder of faith, the Christmas
story becomes alive. The Christ Child is born
in our hearts. The angels speak to us:
“Behold I bring you tidings of great joy . . .
For unto you is born this day in the City of
David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord!”
Our Bethlehem today is our Church and Sun
day School. Let us go and take our children to
worship our new-born King.
THE CHURCH FOR ALL . ,
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest fac
tor on earth for the building of
character and good citizenship. It
is a storehouse of spiritual values.
Without a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound
reasons why every person should
attend services regularly and sup
port the Church. They are: (1)
For his own sake. (2) For his
children's sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and ma
terial support. Plan to go to
church regularly and read your
Bible daily.
