The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, December 22, 1966 SEC. A — PAGE 19 One Solitary £ife Here is a young man who was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. Me grew up in another village. He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty, and then for three years He was an itinerant preacher. He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never owned a home. He never had a family. He never went to a college. He never put His foot in side a big city. He never traveled 200 miles from the place where He was born. He never did one of the things that usually accompany greatness. He has no credentials hut Himself. H hile He was still a young man, the tide of pub lic opinion turned against Him. His friends ran away. He was turned over to His enemies. He went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. While He was dying, His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had on earth, and that was His coat. en He was dead. He was laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend. ineteen centuries have come and gone, and to day He is the central figure of the human race and the leader of the column of progress. 11 is far within the mark to say that all the armies that ever marched, and all the navies that ever sailed, and all the parliaments that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as has that As we recall the true meaning of Christ mas let every heart be filled with glad ness throughout this holy season, and may peace reign everywhere.
