Keep It As It Is (Taken from a sermon by Peter Marshall which his wife called one of his “most inspiring and memorable sermons.”) Changes are everywhere. Many in- stitutions and customs that we once thought sacrosanct have gone by the beard. Yet there are a few that abide, de‘ying time and revolution. The old message: “For unto you is bern this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord” is still the heart of Christmas. It ean be nothing else. And this message can neither be changed nor quite for- gotten, although there are many things that tend to make us forget. There is no need to search for stories new and different. There is only one after all—and no modern author can improve it: “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night, and, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. “And fear not: the angel said behold, good tidings of great joy, wh be to al] peepe. For unto tris day in the city of Dav unto them, for, I bring you h shall jeus, which is Christ the Lord.” Have you been saying, “I just can't seem to feel Christmas spirit this year?” That’s too bad. As a confession of lack of faith, it is rather significant. You are saying hat you feel no joy that Jesue came into the world ... you are confessing that His presence in the world is not a reality to you... the Maybe you need all the more to read the Christmas story over again, need to sit down with the Gospel of Luke and think about it. I thank God for Christmas. Would that it lasted all For on Christmas Ev and Christmas Day, all the world is a Letter place, and men and women are loveable. Love sweeps into every heart, and miracles happen. When Christmas doesn’t make your heart swell up until it bursts . . . and fil! your eyes with tears ... and make you al! soft and inside . . . then you’l] know that something inside of you is dead. year. more nearly warm Don’t worry—you'll be ready for it—you’ll catch the spirit all right, or it will caten you, which is even better. And then you wil] remember what Christmas means—the begin- ning of Christianity ... The Second Chance for the worl he hope for peace—and the enly way. The promise that the angels sang is the most wonderful music the world has ever heard. “Peace on earth and goed will toward men.” It was not a pronouncement upon the state of the world then nor is it a reading of the international barometer of the present time . but it is a promise—God’s promise—of what one day will come to pass. The years that are gone are grave- yards in which all the persuasions of men have crumbled into dust. If history has any voice, it is to say that aH these ways of men lead nowhere, There remains only one way—The Way—untried, untested, unexplored fully ... the way of Him Who was born a Babe in Bethlehem. In a world that seems not only to be changing, but even to be dissolving, there are some tens of millions of us who want Christmas to be the same . . with the same old greeting “Merry Christmas” and no other. We loving for the abiding love a- mong men of good will which the season brings . . . believing in this ancient miracle of Christmas with its softening, sweetening influence to tug at our heart strings once a- gain. We want to hold on to the old customs and traditions because they strengthen our family ties, bind us to our friends, make us one with all mankind for whom the Child was born, and bring us back again to the God Who gave His only begotten Son, thet “whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have ever- lasting life.” So we will not “spend” Christ- mas... nor “observe” Christmas. We will “keep” Christmas—keep it as it is... in all the loveliness of ite ancient traditions. May we keep it in our hearts, that we may be kept in its hope.

Crowds of shoppers rushing to and fro are in a constant turmoil buying gifts for rels and friends which they wi home to wrap in gay paper and rib bon and hide in the most ingenious places until that day—December 25 —arrives. Yes, this is what we of today know as Christmas—the “com- mercialized” Christmas, What has happened to the real and true meaning of Christmas? Has it become so immersed jn tinsel and evergreen that we have forgotten the true meaning of the season? What does Christmas mean to you? The word itself is the meaning of Christmas—the Mass of Christ. It is the annual church festival kept by Christians all over the world on December 25 in memory of the birth of Christ. Too often, we of today become engrossed in the commercial “Santa Claus” Christmas and do not think of the Messiah as the true gift to mankind—the only and perfect gift that the world has ever known. The season of Christmas should be to everyone, regardless of re- ligious faith or belief, a season of meditation on the fortunate gifts of our own lives and how they can best be put to bountiful use. This season is a time in which we should all recall the past fortunes and mis- ourselves a firmer goals which we keep Christmas as th each one of us are that we have in our celebrate Christmas, Reader’s Comment not only as a time of gaiety and laughter, but a time in which we may plan how we too, as that greatest gift was given, may give of ourselves, however smal] or imperfect our gifts may be, to mankind—a gift which will mean everything to someone and most of all, something to ourselves! Men’s Judiciary Chairman Explains His Stand On Frats Editor, pre seems to be quite a num- ber of students here on campus who are concerned as to my stand on social fraternities. Well, thus far I e made no commitments as to ther I am in favor of or against these organizations. I have thought this matter over very thoroughly, and at this time T am prepared to state my con- vietions, I am in favor of social fraterni- ties here at East Carolina College as long as they pursue constructive ends. I must admit that I am very pleased with the fraternities now in exis- and with the formation of the inter-fraternity council. It appears as if the members of these fraterni- ties are sincerely interested in do- ing an excellent job. I am familiar with the fraternity system at Duke and at Davidson, and they are very beneficial, I must ad- mit that I would hate to see social fraternities here develop as they have at one of the other state sup- ported jnstitutions—-this I am a- gainst—not social fraternities. At this time, I feel sure that the present trend of the social fraterni- ties here at East Carolina College is for the betterment of the college as a whole, and I am wholeheartedly in favor of it, and if there is any way in which I can help in this cause I am now prepared to do so, Sincerely, Eddie Dennis (Mr. Dennis is chairman of the Men's Judiciary.—Editor).
