Southern Bell Tasty Treat I'hi-tv i> ,i k'LUMui of ,i (loblin who made an annual pil- grima^i' anjonn tin people at Christmastime, evaluating their thoughts ami deeds by their weight. One day the (ioblin saw a man w itli a new automobile, w hich he had purchased for himself and family as a Christmas token. Here, thought the Coblin. is something very valuable. So he put it on the scales, but, to his dismay, it weighed nothing. Next he saw a boy who appeared very happv. "Why are you so glad’" asked the (ioblin. "I’m going to get a lot of nice things for Christmas- 1 know, because I’ve seen them m the closet." said the boy. The (ioblin put them all on the scales, but they weighed nothing. There was a voting girl who was frowning. "What are vou frowning for ’" asked the (ioblin. "Oh, a friend of mine gave me a little old handkerchief for Christmas last year, and I'll have to give her one this year because she will ex pect it." The (ioblin put the handkerchief on the scales, but it weighed nothing. I’lie (ioblin looked up and saw a richly attired woman sitting at a window knitting "What are you doing'”’ he asked. "I am knitting a -I'arf for a -iek friend who is cold and mis era hie." said the woman. I'here isn’t a scarf in all the store- that 1 care to give her. so 1 am knitting one." The (ioblin put the -cart on the scales and it weighed very much. Looking down the street, the (ioblin saw an aged couple carrying a well-fitted basket between them. He approached the couple, and saw that they were very poor. "Where are you taking that basket of food ’” he asked. "To a kindly friend." '.lid the man. "Hut do you not need this for your selve-’" asked the (ioblin. "We can spare it; besides, our food tastes better when we divide it with those who need it worse than we do," was the answer. The (ioblin put the basket on the scales, and it weighed to the limit of the scales.

ANCIENT LEGEND An ancient Italian legend tells of the Three Wise Men stopping to ask directions of an old woman, Befana. They invited her to go with them to worship the new born King, but she would not leave until she had swept her house and baked her bread. So the Wise Men left without her. When her housework was finished, Befana packed a basket of toys for the Christ Child and set out after the Wise Men, butshe never over took them. So every Christ mas she searches for the Christ Child with her basket of toys, leaving gifts for the children in each house. ITS CHRISTMAS TIME! We'd like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas. Thanks for your patronage! PILOT LIFE INSURANCE CO. Jacobs Building — 833-0950 Why wt* t;ive Ml»v CHRISTMAS The best way to understand the feast of Christmas is in terms of a gift. We spend 384 days in getting; Christmas we spend in giving. The greater part of the year, we inflate our ego and insist on our rights, on Christmas Day we deflate ou r ego to bring ha p piness to others. The reason we give on Christmas Dav is because we too have received a gift—the (lift of Hod to man, in which He humbled Himself so com pletely as to veil His (Tory and His Bower. The Divine Babe did not come into this world as one would walk in to a museum to see the work of other artists. He came in to the world as a painter in to His own studio. His en trance was into the world that 1 le had made. We give gifts at Christmas because we received a (lift. It is the birthday of Hod in the form of man, in order that man might be like unto Hod. When ever we give gifts we tear off the price tag so that there will be no proportion between the gift of the lover and the love of a giver. This season, it is our wish that your spirit he moved hy the inspiration and hope that distinguished the first Christmas. And that its meaning then ... of peace and good will toward men . . . will be its meaning now for you and your loved ones. GRAY FUNERAL HOME RALPH F.
