Walker Loses Sister In Spartanburg “What means this glory round our feet?” The Magi mused, “More bright than noon.’ And voices chanted clear and sweet, “Today the Prince of Peace was born.” No wonder it came to be written that angels sang over the sheepfolds of Bethlehem the night that He was born. Who could have dreamed, that in that common stable of the inn, from whose doors the anxious couple had been turned, there was to be born that night a Child whose name was to be “above ^very name” ever spoken by the lips.of men. ’t Who could have dreamed, that in that lowly unknown Mother’s arms there lay the Child to be known to the end of time as the Christ of Galilee and Judea, and the Christ of Calvary—the Christ whose “blessed feet . . . were nailed for our advantage on the bitter cross?” W'ho could have dreamed, that frorn that night were to come the Christmas days that for ^centuries have called forth the joyful greeting, “Merry Christmas,” from untold millions of human hearts and gladdened human homes? Mrs. Eula Walker Bagwell, wife of L. Earle Bagwell of Spartanburg, died at her home last Thursday morning after an extended illness.
