The First Christmas Story
AS AModern Newspaper Would Have Reported The World
Shaking Events OF The First Christmas Night

babe wrapped in swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger.
"And suddenly there was with
the angel multitude of the Hea-
venly Host, praising God and
saying, glory to God in the high
est, and on earth peace, good will
toward men.
"And it came to pass, as the
angels were gone away from them
into heaven, the shepherds said
one to another, let US go even
unto Bethlehem, and see this thing
which has come to pass, which the
Lord has made known unto US.
'And they with haste, and found
Mary and Joseph, and the babe
lying in manger, and when they
had seen it, they made known
abroad the saying that was told
them concerning this child. And
all those that heard it wondered
at these things which were told
them by the shepherds"
The above is an eye witness
statement of what actually hap
pened on this eventful night, A.
ID. /, in the town of Bethlehem.
No story in the annals of history
has been repeated more often than
the story of the nativity. Yet
after almost 1000 years, each re-
iteration brings renewed hope to
the human race, gladdens the
hearts of those who tell it over,
again and again, and all those
who hear it, describe it as the
sweetest story ever told. Indeed
it is one story of the ages that
will never grow old with the re-
peated telling.
The publisher, editor, and staff
of this newspaper send Christmas
greetings with the hope that all
our readers may be imbued with
the spirit of the Babe of Bethle-
hem at this Christmas time, and
make the belfreys ring with their
singing of peace on earth, good
will toward men,"

DIR. LUkE'S STORY:
"And it came to pass in those
days, that there went out decree
from Caesar Augustus, that all
the world should be taxed.
"And this taxing was first
made when Cyrenius was governor
of Syria.
"And all went to be taxed, ev-
eryone to his own city.
"And Joseph also went up from
Gallilee, out of the city of Naza-
reth, into Judea, into the City of
David, which is called Bethlehem,
because he was of the house and
lineage of David, to be taxed with
Mary his spoused wife, being
great with child.
"And' so it was that, while they
were there, the days were accomp-
lished that she should be deliver
ed. And she brought forth her
first born son,s wrapped him
in swaddling clothes, and laid
him in a manger, because there
was no room for them in the inn.
"And there were in the same
county, shepherds abiding in the
fields, keeping watch over their
flocks by night. And 10, the angel
of the Lord came upon them, and
the glory of the Lord shone round
them. And they were sore afraid.
"And the angel said unto them,
fear not, for behold, | bring you
good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people. For unto
you is born this day, in the City
of David, a Savior, which is Christ
the Lord. And this shall be a
sign unto you, We shall find the

Bethlehem, Judea, Dec. %, AID.
1.-The little village of Bethlehem
was thrown into state of excite
ment and confusion unequalled in
its history by the birth of jew
ish child last night.
The commotion began when
three shepherds from the hills of
Gallilee ran into Bethlehem at
midnight, telling story about an
angel which allegedly came to
them during the night as they
watched their sheep. The angel,
they said, was accompanied by a
singing choir of other angels,
which sang a new and previously
unheard-of song about peace on
Earth, Good Will to Men,"
The angel, according to the
shepherds, told them that they
would find a new born child in
Bethlehem in a stable. The angel
referred to the baby as Christ, the
Lord, and the Messiah.
The angel then further instruct
ed the shepherds to go to Beth
lehem, where they would find the
child wrapped in swadling clothes
and lying in a manger in an inn
stable.
The shepherds reported that
they found the child as described.
The child, who had been named
Jesus, is the son of Joseph and
his wife, who came to Bethlehem
to pay their taxes. They were
forced to take refuge in the stable
because of the over-crowded con-
ditions of the inns during the tax
gathering season.

1t is interesting to note the ever
increasing demand for people hav-
ing at least a high school education.
Many employers find that under the
present day union set-up of adj
vancement as job openings occur,
they cannot hire person who is
not high school graduate for even
an unskilled or semi-skilled job,
since he could not qualify for other
jobs Immediately above his if the
opening should occur. Rather than
have a person fail under circum-
stances such as these, the jobs are
given to persons having the educa-
tional background to climb the lad
der.
In general, Hagersown High
School graduates have proven to be
well qualified for the jobs they have
been fortunate in securing. Much
Of this success may be traced to the
guidance facilities in both the Junior
High School and the Senior High
School, which assist students in be-
coming adjusted. In addition, pros
pective employers often seek in
formation regarding certain job ap-
plicants and receive frank statements
of qualified opinion as to the prob
ability of success for an Individual
in given situation, thus eliminat-
ing many possibilities of failure be-
fore the job is attempted
So, this interviewer is pleased to
report that industrialists are very
well satisfied with the products of
our school system. They invariably
prefer that the prospective employee
be graduate of our school system
rather than one who has stopped
along the way They have criticism
of individual personality traits of
Indifference and carelessness; but
there is only praise for the school
system which attempts to discourage
these faults And our Washington
County Schools have high stand
ard.

1t is a we'll known fact that most
of our high school graduates do not
enter college. With that idea in
mind this attempt has been made
to determine how well these young
people are fitted for performing the
basic tasks which are necessary if
one is to earn a living in industry.
Officials of many local industries
were contacted and were very CO.
operative in giving composite cross
section views as to the ability dem
onstrated by the local graduates.
Many of the key positions in each
of the companies are held by Ha-
gerstonians who entered their first
jobs Immediately after having been
graduated from high school and have
achieved their present level of sue
cess through intelligent application
of knowledge and diligent attempts
to accomplish the desired results.
Graduates of the commercial and
vocational curricula seem to fit into
the industrial scheme very rapidly,
with but little on-the-job training
since the transition is a natural Sc
quel to the work they have per-
formed as students. However, grad
yates who have taken a general
course often times find it quite diff
cult to realize that certain funda-
mental procedures must be follow
ed if the desired results are to be
obtained since their background is
not specific.
Among the recommendations sug-
gested by various officials we see
that here is a need for teaching
people to think for themselves in a
given situation, rather than to re-
quire immediate supervision while
performing relatively routine duties.
Many individuals tend to be care
less in the performance of assigned
job tasks. Spelling ana mathematics
apparently are taken lightly by a
number of people and consequently
need improvement.

Gratitude"
And he took a cup, and when he

Mark 1423. Read Corinthians
11:23-31.
His gratitude was not reserved for
his times of popular acclaim; his
resignation to the Fathers will was
so complete that on the night that
he was betrayed, he gave thanks!
The Author of the Universe, the
Giver of every good and perfect
gift, bestows now the gift of suffering
to reclaim his fallen world. To
praise him for the darkness as well
as for the light is the mark of the
Christian; to accept in gladness of
heart a full share in the fellowship
of Christs sufferings, is his high
privilege.
Through the centuries the Church
has remembered her Lord in the
breaking of bread and the drinking
of the cup. And, as oft as she eats
and drinks, gratitude is the theme.
The Greek word for the Holy word
for the Holy Supper literally means
thanksgiving. Thus in the blessed
fellowship is shown the meaning in
its depth, unreserved praise for un-
deserved grace. On the one side,
the divine initiative; on the other,
the human response. First, the
lavish generosity of God; then the
fervent thanks of man. o give
thanks unto the Lord for he is good;
for his mercy endureth forever!
Let Us Pray: For thy works mighty
and small, we praise thy name; and
more deeply would we thank thee,
our Father, that thou hast given us
a share in the passion and the glory
of the Christ Amen.

Basso Jerome Hines
Thrills Audience
Metropolitan Opera Company
Artist Gives One OF Best Con-
certs In Civic Music Associa-
TONS 1948-49 Series.

Music lovers of Hagerstown were
given a real treat at the last con-
cert of the 1948-49 season of the
Civic Music Association last Thurs
day night when they were delight
fully entertained by jerome Hines,
outstanding basso of the Metropoli-
tan Opera Company The concert
was held in ST. Johns Lutheran
Church auditorium and was well
attended.
Beginning with a group of three
Italian selections, "Il Lacerato Spir-
ito" and two songs both entitled
"Serenata," one by Tosti and the
other by the contemporary Pietro
Cimara, Mr.. Hines charmed every
one, more particularly those with
the knowledge of the language in
which the songs were written-to
say nothing of others who are low
ers of the operate roles.
The second group was composed
of three Russian numbers; "PiI-
grim's Song" by Tschaikowsky,
Song of the Flea" by Moussorgsky,
and Song of the Volga Boatmen, .
as arranged by Koenemann.
"The Drinking Song from Ham
let" by Thomas, which is also re-
ferred to as the rBrindisi," sung in
the German, was very well receiv-
ed, and was followed by an encore
that brought many "oh's" and "ah's''
from the audience. This number
was the well known "Come Back to
Sorrento" which the artist sang in
Italian.
Immediately after intermission,
Mr.. Hines accompanist, Peter Paul
Fuchs, played five piano solos: I'D
minor Sonata of Scaratti, sara
besque" by Debussey, the F sharp
major 'Nocturne," the c sharp
minor waltz" by Chopin, and then
one of the late George Gershwin's
"Preludes."
The next group was sung in
French, as follows: "My Love-" a
French folk song; Nights of Spain,''
by Massanet; and 'Don Quixote's"
Sancho Panza song. As final rem
dition in the latter group Mr.. Hines
very graciously sang "Old Man Riv-
er," which had been printed on the
original program, but which had
been substituted by the Sancho Pan
"a song.
The sixth and last section of the
program was composed entirely of
popular numbers, as had been print
ed on the program, and these were
announced impromptu by Mr..
Hines, in the order named: cal
ways" Il Kiss Your Hand, Madam, y
Temptation" "Aluf Wiedersehen"
and lastly, "The Two Grenadiers, ;"
by Schuman. J.R.
