cIRcLINc THE COUNTRYSIDE
Plans Being Made

MIDDLEBURG, Va.-Skip-
ping from Thanksgiving
week end to New Years eve
isn't so long in this jettiSoned
age. The committee for the
Piedmont Fox Hounds an
nual New Years eve ball has
already sent out invitations
to sponsors for this, the most
elaborate celebration cele-
brated in the Middleburg-
Upperville area to usher in
the new year.
The Community Center
will be decorated to its lofty
eyebrows, and tables will be
laden with fancy hats and
noise makers. The younger
element in the community,
growing older by the minute,
find this a party that they
don't mind sharing with their
parents. It's sometimes q
showdown in the early hours
of the very new year as to
who takes whom home.
Dinner parties before the
Hill School dance on Friday,
December IL, also to be held
at the Community Center,
will gather up large numbers

been planned by the Larry
Achilles of Foxcroft School
and the Howard Aliens of
Middleburg. The James
Kaylors, Fred Warrens and
Richard Kelsos, all of whom
live near Aldie, are planning
one together, covering the
Aldie front.
Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine Dur

will gather in some of the
Warrenton group for the
dance. Shelly Warren and
Cliff Miller will be taking
care of several Washington
couples. The George Horkans

4 Privilege And Opportunity

FRIENDS and supporters Of Hampden-.
Sydney College have a privilege and OPP
portunity of expressing appreciation for
its influence on this community for the past
100 years. A campaign for Million dollars
is in progress throughout Virginia and the
East. Friends in % cities and localities are
bending their efforts in this direction.
This fund together with other funds So
licited by the Synod of Virginia are to be
used to modernize facilities, to add a sci
ence building library, students activities
center and swimming pool In addition,
81 100000 will be added to the COLLEGES
endowment, providing a continuing annual
income. With these and other potential
grants, Hamp den-Sydney will be placed in
a position to meet its purpose as a small
liberal arts college for the foreseeable flu
ture. These will be capital funds and will
not be for continuing expenses Prince Ed
ward County's part in this drive is S75,-
100000 Committees are actively engaeed
now in soliciting these funds.
Hampden-Sydney College has material
value to Farmville in addition to it's cuI
tural Influence. Annually $489.OOO or more

OF the community. A capital investment Of

zens, but delegations are planned from
every congressional district
The movement is a voluntary citizens
movement unique in that it has inhibtions
Of no organization. The fact that citizens
from all sections OF Virginia are expected
indicates the deep-seated interest statewide.
Colncdent with the Crusade petitions to
the School Policy Study Commission have
been circulated for the past several weeks
setting forth the opinions of thousands of
Nirginians statewide The petitions affirm
opposition to mixing Of the races in our
schools expressing the belief that re
cent events have not altered that position
Of our people. and that Nirginans are to-
day more firmly Of that opinion than ever"
Further. the petition calls upon the mem
bers Of the General Assembly ito restore
to us the enjoyment of Virgina's honor and
sovereign States rights and rapidly to put
Virginia back into the enviabe position Of
no integration."
Nlrglnla's sovereignty as . state unfortu-
nately is in the hands Of the people. They

petition and orderly assembly are two
methods guaranteed by the u S. Constitu-

Babson Discusses Buying Stock On Margin

knows. When anyone disputes me

for his personal investment record

money has he personally made

Chances vs.. Certainty
1t is okay for any investment ad-
visor to guess as to the odds" that
are ahead: but TO dogmatically say
that the stock average will go
through $50 or 700 during 1859 is a.
very foolish statement. Such 4
statement is even dangerous to
give to an inexperienced investor.
It shows lack Of experience on the

come alive again and walked out.
Now the evidence for this as fact
is strong More than one person
who set out to show that the evil
dence is unconvincing, has wound
up by believing it. A few years ago
some one wrote very learned
article intending to prove that the
body of Jesus could not possibly
have been put into separate tomb,
and that the women were quite
mistaken when they found an
empty tomb = mistaken. because
the body had never been there in
the first place. But how did that
writer arrive at such a conclu-
sion? Only by the skeptical writ
ing-off. as worthless. all the testi-
mony there is in the Gospels that
the women did know, very well,
where the body was supposed to
be, and that a mistake under the
circumstances was impossible.
Nevertheless. if we never get
our minds off the empty tomb and
the physical resurrection, we shall
miss too much Nowadays espec-
tally, with all the medical miracles
that are reported about people who
have been brought back to life
after being officially dead, a return
to life does not in itself arouse the
wonder it once did. Furthermore,
is emphasis on the physical resur-
rection an emphasis in the right
place? Visitors to certain hospitals
can see things in the shape OF
human beings which nevertheless
never act like human beings; they
are more like vegetables. That a
body is alive may be tragedy, if
the spirit and mind are not alive
too. So the really important thing
about Jesus is that he was and is
alive, not that his mere body lived
again.

Christ Lives
Lesson for March 20, 1859

"XXIHAT happened on Easter
w morning is out on tho
fringe" says q modern writer on
the life Of Christ. On the other
hand, there are some who make a
great point Of the empty tomb and
the physical resurrection Of Christ
This brings out an argument that
goes on and on: Which 1s more
important, the fact Of the Resur-
rection, or the meaning Of the
Resurrection?

Hate

If you say that you hate some one
And what you say is true,
The hate you feel will hurt him less
Than it will injure You.
Your words Of hate, like boomerongs,
60 out from you and then
The hote-fiIled thoughts that you send out,
Come back to you again.
They do not hurt the one You hate
Though he be near or far,
But in your heart there is hurt
And On it there's O scar
You may not know the scor is there
But thot it is, is true
And in hidden subtle Way
It takes some JOY from You.
So let US not feel hate towards
A sister or q brother
But heed the words Of Christ, Who soid,
That ye love one another"

Meaning Without Facts

On the other hand, suppose we
emphasize the meaning Of the

cause he lives we shall live also.
Then we shall be striking the CEN
ter of the message of Easter. But

same time, we believe in the

of belief in immortality, perhaps)"
but we are not interested in tho
Easter facts? Strange as it may
seem, there are people who have
just that point of view. When we
get rid Of all the fancy language
they use, what they are saying
comes down to this: We don't know
what happened on the frst Easter.
and we don't care. We are con-
cerned with the meaning OF what

To put all ones faith in the facts
and disregard the meaning Of

ity.
