during the laat IS years. These are amazing ac
complishments in vie# of the rnthleesness of the
welfare statists in the United States and the pres
sures for liberal conformity and censorship.
Perhaps the most telling accomplishment of
1964 was the domination of the national Republi
can Party by real conservatives who rejected
‘‘me tooism” for the GOP. And one can be sure
that one of the major political objectives of the
next four years, on the part of many people will
be to maintain and expand the real conservative
strength within the Republican Party, keeping
out those forces that want to deny Americans
a real choice at the polls.
At the same time conservative Southern Dem
ocrats on the local level, who did not support the .
national ticket, undoubtedly will be under heavy Brded Street Methodist Church
pressure, if not actually the subject of purge Mrs. David S. Cook will spend
attempts, to obey a party line issued by the na- the holidays in Rowland, N. C.,
tional political apparatus of the party. A re- with bar daughter, Mrs. Charies
alignment must come; a choice must be made.
All in all, the next four years will be full of
challenges and opportunity. Conservatives should
welcome the mood of initiative and activity, and
use these years to win converts to the cause of
responsible government.

The Birth of Jesus
And it came to pass in those days, that
there went out a decree from Caesar Au
gustus, that all the world should be taxed.
(And this taxing was first made when Cy-
renius was governor of Syria). And all
went to be taxed, every one into hia own
city. And Joseph also went up from Gali
lee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea,
unto the city of David, which is called
Bethlehem; (because he was of the house
and lineage of David); to be taxed with
Mary his espoused wife being great with
child. And so it was, that while they were
there, the days were accomplished that she
should be delivered. And she brouffht
forth her first-born son, and wrapped him
in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a
manger; because there was no room for
them in the inn.
house, they saw the young child with Mary
his mother, they fell down, and worshipped
him; and when they had opened their
treasures, they presented unto him gifts;
gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
The Flight Into Egy0t
And when they were departed, behold,
the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joeeph
in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the
young child and his mother, and flee into
Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee
word: For Herod will seek the young child
to destroy him. When he arose, he took
the young child and his mother by night,
and departed into Egypt: And was there
until the death of Herod: that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by
the prophet. Out of Egypt have I called
my son.

A great deal of interest centered on the ship that
Capt Andrew Robinson built at Gloucester, Mass. He
had masted and rigged the sailing vessel in a manner
different from any other.
A sizable crowd was on hand for the launching in
1713. The blocks were knocked aside and the ship slip
ped down the ways and slid smoothly into the water.
‘Oh, how she scoots!” exclaimed an excited specta
tor. “Scooo,” meaning to skim, was derived from the
Scottish word “scon”—to skim stones across water.

Capt Robinson took his cue from the bystander and
called his vessel a ‘‘aoooner.” The spelling was chang
ed, probably through Dutch influence, to “schooner.”
The Visit of the Shepherds
And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping
watch over their flock by night And, lo,
the angel of the Lord shone around about
them; and they were sore afraid. And the
angel said unto them, Fear not; for be
hold, I bring you good tidings of Great joy,
which shall be to all people. For unto
you is born this day in Hie city of David a
Saviour, which is Christ, the Lord, and
this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find
the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger. And suddenly there
was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth
peace, good will toward men. And it came
to pass, as the angels were gone away from
them into heaven, the shepherds said one
to another, Let us now go even unto Beth
lehem, and see this thing which is come to
pass, which the Lord hath made known to
us. And they came with haste, and found
Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in
manger. And when they had seen it,

The Visit of The Wise Men
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem
of Judea in the days of Herod the King,
behold, there came wise men from the east
to Jerusalem, saying, Whre is he that is
born King of the Jews? for we have seen
his star in the east and are come to wor
ship him. When Herod the king heard
these things he was troubled and all Je
rusalem with him. And when he had gath
ered all the chief priests and scribes of the
people together, he demanded of them
where Christ should be born. And they
said unto him, in Bethlehem of Judea; for
thus it is written by the prophet. And thou,
Bethlehem, in the land of Judea, are not
the least among the princes of Judea; for
out of thee shall come a Governor, that
shall rule my people Isreal. Then Herod,
when he had privily called the wise men,
inquired of them diligently what time the
star appeared. And he sent t^em to Beth
lehem, and said, Go and search diligently
for the young child; and when ye have
found him, bring me word again, that I
may come and worship him also. When
they had heard the king, they' departed
and, lo, the star, which they saw in the
east, before them, till it came and stood
over where the young child was.
And when they were come into the
It will take some time for the election returns
to be fully analysed and for the complete mean
ing of the Goldwater-Johnson contest to be under
stood. But even before the voters had handed in
their verdict, it was clear that the campaign had
produced great changes in the nation.
One of the ironies of the election campaign—
from the standpoint of conservatives—was that
the incumbent administration was forced to use
conservative appeals in certain areas of political
controversy. For example, Mr. Johnson repeat
edly declared that hie aims insofar as fical policy
is concerned are in the direction of prudent man
agement. This in itself, even if not carried out,
represented a victory for the conservative move
ment in America, which over a long period of
years has hammered away at conservatism in
public financing.
Another great change reflected in the cam
paign has to do with the Southern states. Not in
a century has the South been the object of such
strenuous political attention. Heretofore, South
erners have been regarded as captive voters of
one party. But the two-party system blossomed
as never before in scores of Southern communi
ties during an exciting campaign. Whatever the
outcome on a state-by-state basis, it is clear from
the campaign activity within each state that the
South is no longer a monolith. It contains both
liberals and conservatives, and conservaties have
no reason to regret the splits that showed up in
the election.
One of the reasons conservatism has lagged
as a national force in the United States is that
conservatives in the South were cut off and iso
lated from conservatives elsewhere in the nation.
This time Southern conservatives had a big voice
in the national campaign waged by the Republi
can Party. And Southern conservative spokes
men such as Senator Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.)
were ns welcome before California audiences as
they were in Dixie.
There’s no question but that Southern poli
tics underwent a massive shaking up as a result
of the campaign. They were forced to choose
sides as never before, and this applied as much
to business interests as to individuals. But, after
all, this is precisely what conaervatives have
been seeking for years. They have been calling
for a realignment of parties in the United States,
with conservatives on one side and liberals on
the other.
They have no reason to complain when this
happens in an election. If it means a temporary
setback at some points, than R must he under
stood that the word temporary is the key to un
derstanding. The South, as Is the case with
other sections of the country, cannot afford to
speak with a confuted, muffled voice. People
knust decide to support one pubUc philosophy or
another. In the long run, this is the way to better
government in the United States.
Of course, s real realignment takes time,
election doesn’t change everything. Th
of the conservative movement in America ex
tends back many years. One am trace It to the
opposition to the Rooeevdt New Deal. Or one
can show conservatism’s rebirth in the eariy cold
war years of the late 1940's.
Gradually, year by year, conaervatives gainsd
understanding of their mission. They began to
build contacts, many of which were not cemented
until the election just ended. A great literature
of conservative books, including studies of eco
nomics and foreign policy, has come into being
