C., and Shirley Mae Williams of the Westoes, had large village* located in the area of what is now North Augusta, during the late 17th century. Formally founded shortly after the turn of the century, North Augusta was planned on a piece of land purchased by James U. Jackson in 1890. As early as 1807, the city had electric lights and a streetcar line. It was in 1891 that the $89,000 steel bridge was completed, linking the South Carolina town with its sister city of Augusta, Georgia. The fast growing community of 11,000 people is on U. S. High way 29 and not far off U. S. 1. Here you find the pleasant sur roundings of a suburban area, combined with the convenience of a large city. North Augusta has a healthy climate for industry, based on its fine weather conditions, ade quate labor supply, positive at titude of the dtisenry, and trans portation facilities second to none. Principal industries of the area are textiles, mining, brick and veneer. Recreation facilities are abun dant in the area. In addition to an 18-hole golf course within ten minutes of downtown, you are within 19 minutes of the world famous golf courses at Augusta, whsre the annual Masters and Tttleholders tourneys are held. Just a short drive from North Augusta is the large Clark Hill Dam and Reservoir, supervised by the U. S. Corps of Engineers. Here is a paradise for visitor and resident alike . . . with idee! fa cilities for boating, swlming, fishing, picknicking, camping and all the fine activities asso ciated with the water. Some day, when you have the time, It would be worthwhile to visit the dam and powerhouse at Clark Hill. This gigantic struc ture was started in 1946 and the last of the seven generators was completed In 1996. It Is one of the largest power projects east There is no more beautiful story in all literature than that of the first Christmas Eve. The account, in its purest form, is given in the second chapter of the Book of Luke. Many legends have come down to us and many stories have been written about that first Christ mas Eve. The story which ap peals to me most, excepting the one In St. Luke’s Gospel, is found in Henry Van Dyke’s little book, “Even Unto Bethlehem,” in which he has gathered from un named sources, or perhaps from his fertile Imagination, some ad ded details not given in the bib lical account. His story intro duces Elisabeth, the wife of the priest Zacharies, the mother of John the Baptist. She was an older cousin of Mary, who had shared with her the prenatal an nouncement of the wonderful Child who was to be born of her. There is something incompar ably sweet and pathetic about the recital of those events on that first Christmas Eve when the tired and travel-worn couple entered the little town of Beth lehem after a long and tiresome journey, and tried to find shelter for the night. Elizabeth, only recently a mother, in full sympathy with her younger cousin’s condition, has come to Bethlehem to wait their arrival. The little village is crowded with those who have returned to register for the gov ernment tax listing. She finds the worried travelers at the inn where there is no room, and im mediately takes charge of the situation. No stranger in Beth lehem, she has many friends and acquaintances here. Not know ing the exact time of their ar rival, she had not been able to make reservations, and the town full. But she does know where re is a clean, dry stable. Here y can find refuge for the She is sure that she will able to find better quarters for them on the morrow. Providence has a way of over ruling the best laid plans of men, turning their mistakes to fit the greated Divine plan. The hour had struck for the advent into the world of the Deliverer. With the kindly help of Elizabeth, the Lord of Mankind is ushered into this world amid the humblest surroundings. Mother and Child Were moved the next day into the more comfortable quarters of a Bethlehem home, but the birth had taken place in a stable with the companionship of the meek ox and the lowly ass, that animal on which He was to ride to His coronation on Palm Sunday. None may ever say that he has had more humble suirouadings at birth. ' Before the Holy Family left the stable shelter, humble men, the shepherds, came to give their best, their adoration. Later came representatives of the world’s great and wise with their costly gifts, and the two extremes of society meet around the Christ Child. In his birth, men who ha<W never known anything in com-l mon before, shared together. Barriers have a way of break ing down in the presence of Christ. A troubled world today, torn by factions In society, in industry, among the nations, di visions within the church .hsould remember that first Christmas when men found a common ground on which all could meet — Jesus Christ. The Christ who knocked at the world’s door for admission 2,000 years ago is still knocking. The first Christmas message is stilly ours to give the whole world; \ “Glory To God In The Highest And On Earth Peace And Good Will Toward Men.” Each year I offer this story on Christmas Eve with the hope that some will find a blessing in it. •».) -and garlands of good wishes l ARTHUR BENJAMIN Down on the southwest border of the Palmetto State, situated on the banks of the lazy Savan. nah River, is the hustling com munity of North Augusta.
