After Twenty Centuries We
 Are Still Cropping

greatness, humility and simplicity.
 His great heart understood so much more than we have been able to learn in twenty centuries of heartaches after His birth. He knew, then, the long, sad road ahead until groping mankind could reach nobility of soul through hu- mility. Perhaps that was why He was called "The Man of Sorrows"
 Mankind, wounds smarting from the dirt of the recent battle field, throat hoarse with cries of hate and pain, is a strange wor- shipper of the Prince of Peace. Freed from battlefields so recent ly hushed, mankind must learn to speak softly again.
 Are we very far removed today from our ancestors in mankinds dismal past, who tied stick and a stone together and wondered if this hammer of his own fashioning would serve him best to bring food and build huts, or to bash in the skull of another ancestor? ! We hold this new hammer in our hands today-atom energy. the fire from heaven; germ bombs, mans DOT; rocket bombs; toxins, one cubic inch of which is potent enough to kill every person in the United States and Canada.
 | Yet these hammers of Thor are not our greatest ills. In the fantas- 1 tic corridors of the human mind we find the most explosive forces. In our thoughts are hidden the most diabolic chain reactions that can, if we let them, destroy us.
 We might ask ourselves: Do we see more tonight, our telescopes trained on the sky, that we did the many years ago when our gaze, unaided was transfixed on the bright star, that shone over Bethlehem?
 Knowing the answer, we pray for faith in the future-the same faith that little children have who burn their notes on the open hearth and watch the smoke carry their wishes to Santa Claus.
 We pray for a faith that is not cheaply bought, for philosophy that is not only sentiment, and for a Christmas that is more than mere emotional qualification.
 We pray that the nettles of hate be driven from our hearts, and that love of our fellowmen be lodged these instead.
 We pray that we may lose our bitterness and intolerance, our passion and greed, our dishonesty and arrogance, our malice and big otry. We pray that we may find freedom from ignorance, as we'll as freedom from want and fear. j We pray that we may straighten our weary shoulders and find the dignity that should be ours. We pray that we may fashion world that will but joy in the hearts of lit tie children, so all may smile again.
 We pray that we may be saved from ourselves, and that we may find peace on earth and good will toward men.
 We pray that we may realize these hopes that we, like little children, burn on our heraths to- night, watching the smoke drift skyward. We pray that we may find the faith our children have

 Gifts from the heart are not obligators.
 Last December 20, was riding crowded bus. Two women close to me- their full of bundles, dis cussing the days purchases Suddenly cried: "Oh forgot to get something for Edna! Is it too late to back?"
 Don't worry,' answered the companion. "You prob ably can find something at home to give her"
 q hope so" said the first Then she added sentfully "I wish she hadn't started this Christmas change!"
 Gifts from the heart want no exchange Passing on gift doesn't want and has reason to believe any else wants, is dishonoring the idea of Christmas
 The best gift of all is the sympathy of loving heart Last Christmas Eve 1 sat alone in hotel suite in large city was turning over in my mind all the Christ masses of my sons life-from the first when he IS days old to the last when he of 21.

But his father softened the disappointment by explaining the symbolism and assuring him that long there love on earth there would be Santa Claus And now, this Christmas Eve of 1946, alone. My son and his father were dead. didn't see how I could live through the hours until the holiday over
 Then there came knock my door and the bellboy lhooI I0I~~ teacher now in home for the aged. She had never known husbands sons love, yet she could under stand my grief
 You were brave as girl" she wrote q know you are brave now"
 It was sacrifice for my old teacher to buy even a specialdelivery stamp on her meager budget But her letter the Christmas gift needed It brought me new courage and of strength It revitalzed my faith again, just Christmas Eve had revitazed the Missouri village of my childhood

Adventures In Christmas Giving

(By Mrs. Glenn Frank Tn The COrOnet )
 SNOW WAS DRIFTING down on the Missouri vil- lage, Christmas Eve snowfall that whened trees and cottages. The evening bell in the Methodist Church steeple summonng the villagers to the Community Christmas tree
 man and little girl were hurrying along the street to the church. The in his early fifes, but his hair white and his steps abored the result of a batte wound at Shiloh.
 The child tugged at her fathers hand and her lips moved. Please God, make Papa walk faster"
 The little girl was Papa sensed my impatient excite ment had written Santa Claus for doll with golden curls and blue satin dress The doll to be the tree and Santa Claus would give it to be with his very own hands,
 At the first corner Mr. Harrington overlook us. My heart sank He and papa would begin arguing religion again and that would slow Papas pace.
 Merry Christmas" said Mr. Harrington May go to church with you and Mary? I've been thinking all a ternoon about talks in your library, Mr. Smith. You right. It is not necessary to understand Jesus We only need to feel Him.
 Papa said we'd be delighted to have him join us But that all he Said-unt reached the church steps Then he turned to MT. Harrington.
 What you've just told me is the best Christmas pres ent possible All the years I've known you, you've tor mented yourself with doubts. At last you realize that faith is feeling-not understandings.
 In recent years have often recalled those words know that the best part of oldfashioned munity the feeling Everyone happy. Our vil- lage transformed The Christmas spirit entered the hearts of everyone sweeping away envy bitterness and
 
 neighbors freshened their ideals and revitalzed their faith
 This Christmas of 1947 is perhaps the most significant to mankind since the first Christmas, almost 1000 years ago. For many generations, men who have preached a Christmas of good deeds carried into daily life have been called impractical idealists.
 But now, in atomic age, the ScientiStS-re- garded as intellectuas rather than idealists-are preaching the gospel Not passport to heaven but of survival earth The onyl answer to the atomic bomb they say is religions simple procla nation Love thy neighbor myself"
 So this year, than ever before, should not proane the celebration of Christs birth with compet- tive, insincere obligatory gifts What give should come straight from the heart.
 My first year out of college, taught Latin in we'll todo St. Louis suburb Most of my pupils were alergc to Latin. But freshman boy, William Schuyler, was brilliant excepton-so brilliant that asked the prin- cipal about his background.

Her name is But Why Not, and
apparently she was asking herself
that question as she charged past
the eight boys in the last half
mile Of this mile and a quarter
test and did everything but win

against colts.
The 1929 customers who back

the colt in front just before the
finish.
At the wire, the front pair had

Weekend; Local Gals
Loom As Loop Champs

Wilmington's tennis a m,
scheduled yesterday to invade Ra-
leigh for a return match with the
powerful Capitol city squac, post
poned the match due to the illness
Of the top ranking local male net
ter, Bob Andrews, and the threat
OF rain in Raleigh.
As a result, the two squads will
clash next Saturday in the CAPT.
tol, and then Sunday Wilmington
will probably meet Durham's new
entry which took the place of
B~eauford-Morehead City. The lat
ter game will be played at either
an intermediate point between the
two cities, or the Wilmington team
will remain in Raleigh Saturday
night and journey to Durham on
the Sabbath.
As the Eastern Carolina Tennis
association season reaches the
midway mark, the Port city femi-
nine METERS have won the respect
Of the entire league as tops, and
at least Mary johnson regrets the
postponing Of the Raleigh clash.
Miss Johnson suffered her only de-
feat at the hands OF Mrs. c. R
Council, Raleigh's number one,
and intends to get sweet revenge
in the next clash. At this point in
league play, Miss Johnson and
Mary Bland, both Wilmington
stars, loom as the probable final.
lists in the championship playoffs
this year. Miss Bland is undefeat-
ed, and Miss johnson licked the
Goldsboro champion Of last sea
son, Agness Hollow.
Andrews, i'll with a cold during
the past week, will be ready fVr
the Raleigh clash next weekend.
Several other male meters who
might not have been able to get
out Of town this weekend will be
on tap for the coming clash.
Meanwhile the quarter finals in
the local tournament will be stag.
ed here today if weather permits.
With the conclusion of the current
matches, the tennis club will stage
a city vice net classic for all ten
mis- players In Wilmington.
