Was reading the other day about
the collective" farms they have in
certain countries. 1t seems the folks
who run them have plenty of help

equipment.
Sounds pretty nice till you
learn that the farmer" doesn't
own his land, or even farm it, in
our sense. He takes orders from the
state; produces whatever they
want him to produce, at prices they
set. Even his off-hours are spent
according to state regulations.
No, that would never 60 here.

GOSPEL TALKS
CHRISTMAS A

For unto us a child is born, unto
us a Son is given; and the govern
ment shall be upon his shoulder; and
His name shall be called Wonder
full. Counsellor, the Mighty God, The
Everlasting Father. The Prince of
Peace."--Isaiah 9.6.
Christmas speaks to us a message
of goodwill and peace on earth be-
cause the Prince of Peace was born
long ago. Peace is the elusive thing
sought by a world that is still suffer
ing the effects of the costliest war
in history. But how may suspicion,
greed, and jealosy be banished
among nations? What statesman is
wise enough to suggest a plan to end
wal and forceful enough to persuade
the nations Of the earth to execute
the plan?
If we would get to the root of the
matter, we could apply the only re.
medy. Wars and fighting spring from
mans sinful nature. God alone car
change that nature and cause good
will and peace among men. In Jesu'
Christ peace is guaranteed. He !

a kingdom characterized by peace b.

In Memory OF
Miss Muude Shoemaker

God in His infinite wisdom has
seen fit to take away from our midst
our dear and faithful sister and
friend, Miss Maude Shoemaker. who
passed away to that home beyond
Friday p. m, November %, 1947.
She was quite i'll for several weeks
in the home of her sister, Mrs. ]. A.
Mcdaniel, Pickens, where everything
possible that would eliviate suffer-
ing was done for her comfort by her
sisters and their husbands and her
many friends. She always endeavor-
ed to make folks comfortable and
happy and was indeed an inspiration
to her family and all with whom she
came in contact as she went about
administering to the sick and unfor-
tunate. She was ever kind, thought
full and gentle, spreading sunshine
in the lives of those she so kindly
administered to in their sorrows and
Affections.
She was the very embodiment OF
kindness and sympathy in her voy-
age of life and was a consistent
Christian optimist. Kind and true
Her beloved ones and many friends
felt her sweetness and sincerely OF
her useful life, by the reflection OF
her kindly actions and sweet influen-
ce as she let her light sc shine that
all about her could see her good
works. She had that substance OF
faith deeply imbedded in the very
fibre of her flesh and she also dem
onstrated its existance by actions
and kindly deeds, she lived the
"Golden Rule" 1t was the substance
of her faith in our Lord and SAVIOUR
and others that gave her speed, pa
tience and increasing hope and con-
fidence in the final outcome OF her
useful and beautiful life.
To her five sisters. Mrs. ]. A.
Mcdaniel, Mrs. w. ]. Shanks, Mrs.
Luther Upton, of Pickens, Mrs. Roy
MCDANIEL. Mrs. w. r. Waldrop, jack
son, two brothers. John Shoemaker,
BIB. Shoemaker, Carter and their
families, we extend heartfelt love
and sympathy.
Sleep on, dear one such a life as
thine Z
Has not been lived in vain.
You shed an influence rare divine
On lives that here remain.

"How "Merry" Is
Your Christmas?

Men will enjoy a really Merry
Christmas" to the extent that they
are hospitable to Christ and to His
spirit. 1t is one of the tragedies of
history that when the Son Of God be-
came Man, there was no room for
Him in the dwellings of Bethlehem.
And that original tragedy is being
| repeated by large numbers in every
| succeeding generation. Someone
missed the opportunity of a lifetime
on the first Christmas Day. BY be-
ing gracious to a poor couple, weary
with travelling, someone might have
| played host to the Holy Family, and
his name might have been forever
linked with those who stood with
Christ.
But gracious hospitality is not con-
fined to opening the door of our
home. There is a gate to u mind;
an entrance to our heart, and a pas
sage to our most innermost soul. In
all these powers of our being we
may be either receptive or inhos-
pitable to the various comings of
Christ.
Inhospitability to Christ. with the
Christian, takes a subtle form. We
could hardly turn from Him with de-
liberate rudeness. But we can and
do put off any sustained effort to
improve our grasp of His message,
to grow in intimacy with Him who
calls us friend" and to apply our
talents, whatever they may be, in
behalf of His cause.
The innkeepers and householders
of Bethlehem said: mo Room" The
Christian, too often, says, mot Yet"
Preoccupation is our prevailing sin.
Our lives are cluttered with the
things that do not matter very much,
and they keep us from that union
with God that surpasses understand
ing.
But with the coming of each new
Christmas we are recalled to a~sense
of the reality of Gods individual love
and care for each of us. God so
loved the world as to send His Only
| Beeotten Son" God comes to us In
the form of a Babe and we achieve
a knowledge Of Him that would be
otherwise impossible and a love that
must reach the most inaccessible
heart.
And if that knowledge and love
really grips us, we must place our
powers at His disposal. The men OF
u time do not often reject Christ
after having come to know him. Sue
ceeding generations have gradually
drifted from Him, and Christ needs
ready hands to restore Him to His
rightful place in the thoughts and
affections of men.

Chevrolet Truck Sales
Hit New High November

DETROIT-For the second con-
secutive month, Chevrolet truck sales
hit a new high, with 29,701 sold dur
ing November, it was announced
here today by T. H. Heating, general
sales manager of the Chevrolet
Motor Division.
This figure was 241 units higher
than the previous alltime record set
in October. The sale of Chevrolets
new "advance-design" line of trucks
has mounted steadily since the new
vehicles were introduced last sum-
mer. These figures represent sales
in the United States by dealers to
consumers.
The "advance-design' trucks are
available in eight wheelbases with a
wide variety of body styles to fit
nearly every conceivable purpose.

From The Dixie Guide-(Guf

AT this particular season millions of us are reminded tina,
there is just now no such thing as Peace On Eartn ana uooo " 7"
Toward Men"
All over the world men are at each others Threats like q
mack of beasts. The situation is usually like that after lntei-
national conflicts. AS soon as people defeat their foes, tney attacA
each other. Wars engender wars. and internal revoiutlon usually
follows external conflict.
We are not splling blood in this country so far but there
is much i'll feeling. Even without Europes excessive economy
pressure we suffer social unrest and class hatred. Ir1ta1ed
aninorities have the political itch and are doing their best TO
transmit it to the masses.
The press vibrates with optimistic forecasts about 1913
some one to fire a fuse. Sure business will be good and it will be
like that until we are fully inflated. 1t was good in 1929. Just when
the bubble will bust or the key explode, one mans guess is as
good as anothers.
Though we cannot name the day the circumstances that
will set off the chain fission are easy to foresee. On some black
Monday morning we will awaken to find that the people Of this
Republic shall have lost confidence in the ability of their govern
ment to redeem it's obligations. Uncle Sam Is already over-extend,
ed and when confidence snaps may the Lord help us. We shall
dealing, spendthrift politicians in Washington put together Will
not be able to control. Nature will do her stuff again and you and
/ will be as helpless as we would have been standing on the sea-
wall, September 10, blowing at the wind and water.
This is not a very pretty Christmas thought and a pessi-
mistc greeting for the New Year. 1t is written with the thought
in mind that as rich as we think we are, with everybody cunning
for a little more money to buy meat and pay income taxes, we are
a spiritually impoverished people defying Gods eternal laws and
the inevitable forces of relentless nature.
We need a whole lot more of good will toward each other
and a realistic preparation for things to come. Not half so much
as an increase in income, we need an increase in courage, CUTS,
patriotism and spiritual fire. The prevailing prosperity is a super
ficial thing only skin deep.
Christ can still save the world but Uncle Same will never
do it, even with his borrowed billions. Peace, like piety, should be-
gin at home and we can do more by setting the good example here
than in futile effort to purchase friendship with food, feed and
dollars. The world may be hungry, but its starvation is spiritual
and revivals begin in the soul and never in a full stomach nor in
