The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, December 20, 1967—SEC. A — PAGE 7 For Everyone The Spirit of Christmas Lingers Long Again it is Christmas, and for those with eyes to see there is joy in the world about us. There is a certain feeling in the air, there is a warm stirring within our individual hearts. Christmas is but one day, although the most magnificent and eventful day in the history of man’s life upon this earth. Yet, with the monotonous march of the seasons, only Christmas comes so early and lingers so long. It begins, perhaps, sometime in November when youngsters begin to count the days and mind their manners. It seems much nearer when schools and churches begin re hearsing holiday pageants and planning holiday decorations. Should snow fall in early December, everyone becomes more aware of the ap proaching holiday. There’s a bit of a spring in every step, a happy ring to the voices we hear. The gradual quickening of heart and spirit becomes full-blown with the arrival of Christmas Eve. With the passing of gifts and greetings and the observance of family traditions, we gratefully accept the oppor tunity to return in heart and spirit to Beth lehem. In silence we may sit again in the church by the side of the road and find our heart filled with joy and gladness. And, come what may, we feel we shall not soon forget THIS Christmas Day.
