THE CHRISTMAS TIME In this day of rapid changes and fleeting fads it does the heart good to know that one cus tom has never changed since it was originated almost 2000 years ago the custom of celebrating the birth ofjthe Prince of Peace. Again we are approaching the anniversary of that historic event, a night when a new and brighter star gleamed in the eastern skies' and men in far places paused to point it out and marvel at its brilliance. It has been almost two thousand years since shepherd's, tending their flocks in the still hours of the night, stretched ' forth ' their hands as a greeting to the newest heavenly diadem, and read within it the grandest mess age that has ever come to glad den and comfort the heart. In its brilliance and scintillating ray they saw that "This Day There Has Born To the World a Savior. " Almost 2000 years, and yet we find our ourselves as firm in our rejoicing as were those who first read in it freedom from an earthly bondage that had kept heavy the hearts of all mankind. Faith and Hope are as strong in the L FLOUR j Bread Cakes Pasteries Woodcock Bros. Milling Co. You One All Christmas breasts of humanity today as on the morn following the appear ance of that star, when the world awakened to find that in - truth there has come One capable of saving all who would look up and believe. That message has spread into the darkest corners of the earth and today everv heart can feel the solace of the sweetest story ever told, and take on a new hope. To the citizens of Maupin and vicinity we extend the greetings of the season we wish you all a Merry Christmas. For each of you we hope the star iq the east shines as brightly and with the message as comforting as it did on that Christmas eve more than 1900 years ago. We want to hope that the year fast drawing to a close has found you stronger in your faith and love for your fellowman, and that the bless ings that come from a life honest' ly and sincerely lived have-been yours in abundance. Just as men have lived by the star in years gone by, men must, if they truly would enjoy living, be guided by it all the years to come, And we broaden our hope that by it you have lived and shall continue to do so. May Joy and Happiness and Peace be the portion of every one of you a3 you pass this Christmas milestone and push on the road of life to a glorious sunset.
