Yuletide Thoughts
Christmas is not a date. It is a
state of mind.
*******
No man lives today who does not
'eck. in some way, to follow a guitf-
star, whatever :t may be.
*******
It was Christ who, by his volun
tary acceptance of the role of ser
vant. has been elevated to the royal
purple and seated at God's right
hand
*******
At few. if any, times since Christ
was born have all the people of the
earth needed faith, trust, and peace
much as they do now.
****•••

When we celebrate the birthday of
Chr.st we ought not to think of him
only as a child. Tho«e who think
Christmas is only a festival about a
child, for children, veer away from
facing Him as an adult.
Fine For the College
It i.o gratifying to friends of Pres
byterian college, and especially lo
cally. to know that the institution
a as returned last week as a fully
accredited member of the Southern
\*5oc.a!ion of Colleges and Secon
dary Schools at its annual meeting
at Houston. Texas
The college has not had full ac-
rchitat on n recent years due to
I of all kinds, which provides much
of our employment, and which has
helped raise our living standards far
beyond that of any other major na
tion. But remember this, mass pro
duction would be impossible with
out mass distribution. The goods
from the factories must bfc moved
^ swiftly, efficiently, and economically
, into the hands of the people who |
use them That is the job of the re
tailers.
Visitors from abroad are always
amazed and disbelieving when they
j see a typical American shopping
center, whether it be on Fifth ave
nue or Main street in a small town.
■ They are so used to a subsistence
standard of living, an economy of'
scarcity at home, that they believe'
it to‘be a universal state of affairs.
Free enterprise, as exemplied by the
shop windows, and many other w-ays,
shows them how wrong they are.
American business can only remain I
great through free enterprise and
initiative to work and grow without
government interference.

Their Music Lives On
There are no mire beautiful «ongs
than the familiar Christmas carols
already being heard a* the Yuletide
season approaches. It is so refresh
ing and inspiring to hear these love
ly carols instead of the jazz and
music imitations heard on the air
end in many public places
Bach and Handel will always
stand out as the two great masters
of Christmas music. The reason is
that both were church musicians,
and one of their main tasks was to
compose songs for congregations to
sing. They proved themselves mas-

What does a retail store's window
stand for? Millions are now viewing
windows beautifully decorated for
tne Christmas season.
First of all, of course, it is de
signed to interest customers in buy
ing goods. If you like what you see,
.and consider the price fair, you'll
probably become a customer. If not,
you’ll move on to another store that
meets your needs better
Beyond that, however, the show
window is about -as good a visual
example of how this country works
as we can nd. We pride ourselves,
and justly, on our magnificent sys
tem of mass pproduction, which has
given us a vast abundance of goods -
