(The following article has been supplied by the County Minist ers’ Association in anticipation of the Good Friday Service on March 27:) GOOD FRIDAY The observance of Good Fri day as a major Christian em phasis began in the very early years of the Christian Church. And it is no wonder as almost one-third of the four Gospel ac counts are concerned with the last week of Christ’s earthly life, climaxing in His crucifixion and resurrection. As early as 150 A. D. Wed nesday and Friday of each week were enjoined as fast days— Wednesday as a reminder of the betrayal by Judas and Fri day commemorated the Lord’s death. Easter was the highest festi val of the Christian year, and therefore the Wednesday and Friday preceding it were of spe cial importance, and they be came the beginning of the Len ten Season, later expanded to a period of forty days about 604 A. D. Originally there was no separ ate observance of Good Friday WANT ADS Tape Decks, 8 track, $39.95 each, Unclaimed Freight, 1225 Broad River Rd.

C. for the crucifixion and the re surrection were celebrated to gether on and as the Great Passover Feast. But by 400 A.D. the two days were separated. The great joyousness of the re surrection could not be proper ly understood without contrast ing it with the time of sorrows when Christ was in the power of death. Moreover, the daily hardships and trials and perse cutions, led the Christians to recall the more vividly the suf ferings and death of their Lord. This they did by magnifying Good Friday. It was a day of strictest fast ing ana mourning, becoming al so laier a day when all public amusements and even legal bus iness were prohibited. In many countries Good Friday is still so recognized and also in some areas of our own nation. The purpose, primarily, was to pro vide the fullest opportunity for all the people to attend the Ser vices and to recall the Day’s significance. It is an arresting observation that Good Friday, which should be of greatest meaning to Chris tians, has become too good a business day to cut out or to curtail because it is too close to the Easter parade and to emphasis on the purely pagan ana secular attachments to the Easter Season. But on the other hand, Jews almost uniformly shut down all their business on their Great Day of Atonement, no matter what effect it may have on business or whether their Gentile neighbors care to recognize that day. The name “Good Friday” un doubtedly stems from the 16th century designation of “Guter Freitag”, the same as our Eng lish “Good Friday”. In earlier days it was called “Passion Friday”, later “Holy Friday”, and also “Black Friday” and “Sad Day”. But whatever the name, the double meaning is still there—it is “Good” because it was so tragically “bad”.

FRANK H. WARD Miss Young wins overseas trip Miss Joy Esther Young of Newberry has won an award of an all-expense trip to Italy, Cyprus, Greece, Egypt and Palestine for a winning essay on “Lenin, A False Prophet”. The essay writing contest was offered by the 20th Century Re formation Hour Broadcast to 12 students, high school seniors or college freshmen, across the United States and Canada. The award winners were announced on the 20th Century Reforma tion Hour Broadcast by Dr. Carl Mclntire, Director, on the 2nd of March. Miss Young is scheduled to leave New York, John F. Kennedy Airport, on March 19 with the other eleven winning contestants. The group will return to New York on the 2nd of April. Dr. Mclntire, president of the International Council of Christian Churches and director of the Broadcast, arranged for the essay contest to offset a similar contest being conduct ed by the Communists in the celebration of the 100th anni versary of the birth of Lenin on April 22, 1870. The Commun ists have awarded the winners of their contest free trips to Moscow. Dr. Mclntire said this was “simply a constructive effort “Good” because of the love of Christ to undergo His suffer ings and death to become our Saviour, and “bad” because of the sins that then and today have crucified Him. However, as in all Christian days of remembrance, the heart of it does not lie in any legal enforcement of it on anyone or in the, fact of its observance as a Christian custom. The heart of Good Friday lies in the per sonal sharing in the meaning of the death of Jesus Christ as will lead us to the renewal of joy and of life in Him as the Risen Saviour and as living Lord. In this spirit the invitation comes to you to attend any or all of the Good Friday Service planned as a community exper ience in Newberry on March 27. to challenge and offset the in tensified Communist propagan da directed toward the stu dents.” Essays of the 12 winners are being published in a book for distribution in high schools and on college campuses around the world. Lenin’s strategy of revo lution is being followed and im- piememed in the western world in its use of students and his appeal to violence, Dr. Mc- Entire said. Miss Young is a senior at Newberry High Schoo. The school will be presented with a framed certificate in honor of her award. Miss Young will be given a plaque.
