The service was beautiful and
impressive throughout. Rev.

be regarded as possessing those

Of necessity, manifest charity,
courtesy, and courage which

Anthems sung by the choir of
men and boys were Beetnoven's
"Hallelujah Chorus" from the

ly decorated artistic creation
which was designed by st. Clair
Kirton and trimmed by Mrs.
Kirton.
The comlnandery was institut-
ed by Grand Master Pilgrim who
supervised all the details. He
was assisted by Grand Recorder

ton will be made in Boston next

The New Look"
BY REV. SAMUEL H. BULLOCK
Pastor of

Pastor of
Pleasant Hill Baptist Church
Today, when you hear
someone mention the new look,
your minds eye naturally turns
to fashions ana wearing appa-r
ell, the conotations of which sug-
gest also the changing of styles
over a period of one or more
centuries. The long skirts today
are still a few inches shorter
than the ones our grandmothers
wore many years ago. These de-
vout and graceful ladies of yes
ter day were right at home with
the new look. But as time
on, manufacturers, de-
signerS and stylists seeing the
need of change and revival in
the clothiers world began to use
less and less cloth to make their
garments. And today, whether
we like it or not, the New Look"
is here to stay Then too, the
idea has expanded to other
fields and phases of thought and
life, buildings, Goods, the auto
industry, societies, social and
otherwise. Indeed, the very
world in which we live is quite
often referred to as a New and
changing world"
Last, but not least, there are
those who seek a new religion
and new gospel. But I am
firmly convinced that what we
need today is not a new religion
and a new gospel, but a new look
at the old time religion and the
gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ!
The word suggests vision, in
sight, revival and inspiration. I
repeat, it suggests vision and the
Bible tells US that where there
is no vision the people perish"
God has always revealed life and
salvation to those willing to take
a new and lasting look at His
Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Moses made a serpent Of brass
which was to be a saving symbol
to those who we're willing to look
up and see it. With this in mind,
Jesus said "As Moses lifted up
the serpent in the wilderness,
even 50 must the son of man be
lifted up Again, "And /, if I
be lifted up from the earth, will
draw all men unto me-"
Today the world needs as new
err before to get a new vision Of
God Almighty! His disciples
lived With him three long years
but it was after his resurrection
that they tool a new look at
Him. And if man would be de-
livered today from the evils that
hold him fast, he must open the
eye Of faith and get a clear,
penetrating. and lasting look at
Jesus Christ, and see him as his
lord and his dodl"

Because he had never decent chance
In the tangled meshes of circumstance?
Brother, you are fit for the ranks-fallin.

He had been condemned to jail

There was an operation and he
came out Of 1t seemingly with
his spirit low and with another
change Of policy. People thought
he was beaten, especially when,
he announced he would retire
and let younger men carry the
battle.
WE KNOW now that Gandhi
never quit in 1925 but merely
went into one Of his many 'quiet
studies" of better methods to
meet his powerful but always

He wondered if he'd be well enough

stified a sob with a heavy sigh
for he knew he would be unable to

His mother brushed soft tendrils

Christmas Trees
Around The World

The Christmas tree is almost a
universal symbol. 1t is common in
many countries and its decorations
mirror the cultural traditions and
customs of the world.
The Japanese, who adopted
American baseball, have also
adopted the Christmas tree. They
have given it an oriental appear
ance by decorating its branches
with Japanese dolls, woodcuts,
small tangerines and rice cookies
called "sembei" that hold paper
slips of fortunes.
In Germany, where the Christ
mas tree originated, chains and
baskets made by hand-from ordi-
nary newspapers when nothing else
is available-are hung on the tree.
Candles have been used for illumi-
nation ever since the time of Martin
Luther, when the custom of deco
rating trees at Christmas first be-
gan.
The French Christmas tree is
loaded with glittering ornaments
and sugar-balls hang from its
branches.
In Italy, the crib is the tradition
al symbol of Christmas and is care
fully arranged beneath every Ital-
ian tree. This custom dates back
to 1928 when St. Francis of Assist
arranged the first crib at Grecio,
Italy, using a simple manger with
doll to represent the Christ Child
and adding live animals for real
ism.
Czechs decorate their trees with
clusters of gilded nuts, apples, and
cookies made to resemble animal
figures, peasant girls, stars and
village huts.

Christmas Holly
Makes Tasty Tea

Holly is useful for something be-
sides Christmas wreaths. Yaupon,
a shrub which grows profusely in
certain sections of North Carolina,
can be brewed into tea and is
actually on the menu of one Caro-
inian hotel.
It's an old story to old-timers of
the region. They've been drinking
Yaupon tea for centuries and swear
that it has all kinds of good quail
tiles.
The Indians before them used it,
and John Lawson, an early histori-
an, said the shrub was so highly
valued that it was carried into the
inland where it fetched fabulous
price from Indian tribes.
Actually, Yaupon is an American
holly, but is closely akin to Mate,
the drink so popular in South
America. Both drinks are pre-
pared much the same way. The
leaves are cured with hot stones
in a barrel and then chopped up,
twigs included, and dried out in
an oven. Leaves and twigs are
then stepped in hot water and
syrup, orange juice, lemon juice
and cinnamon are added.
So at Christmas, instead of
throwing away that dried up
wreath, try brewing it up into a
pot Of tea.

Serbians GloriV
Abundant Harvest

The Serbian strews his table with
hay or straw at Christmas time
and he is likely to eat roasted suck
ling pig for Christmas dinner.
Weather permitting, fire is built
outdoors on Christmas morning and
the pig roasted over it on spit.
The Serbians, as well as the
Croats, have several Christmas
customs in common. Both plant
wheat on plate on December 10th.
BY Christmas day there is minia-
ture field of wheat which serves as
a decoration, usually placed on a
window sill.
Before sunrise on Christmas
morning, the men of the family 60
into a nearby forest to fell a young
oak tree. 1t is selected with great
care and traditional rites must be
observed in cutting it down. 1t must
fall toward the East at the moment
of sunrise. 1t is brought home in
state and lighted candles are held
on each side of the door through
which it is carried.
Corn and wine are Sprinkled on
this Yule log while wishes for an
abundant harvest for the next sum-
mer are expressed. AS soon as the
log is placed in the fire and is
burning brightly. a neighbor, chos-
en- beforehand for the ceremony,
enters the house to bring Christ
mas blessings. He pours a little
wine on the log and places coin
on it, symbol of prosperity for
the coming year.
