Jessamine Hill Farm Purchased By Oscar Lindgrens Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Lindgren from Stockholm, Sweden and more recently of Los Angeles, California have purchased 2600 acre Jessamine Hill Farm in Tiger Valley near Washington, Virginia and have taken up residency with their two daughters and son. Sale of this property was consummated through the real estate offices of W. A. Miller and George H. Barkley. Jessamine Hill was built by John Thomas Fletcher in the 1840's and was similar to Ben Venue built by his brother W. M. Fletcher. Both were constructed by James L. Powers, the local master builder of his day, who served his carpentry apprenticeship by working on the buildings at the Uni\ersity of Virginia. This acm counts for the Jeffersonian feeling of Federal type architecture of both of these houses and also the County public buildings constructed by Powers. Jessamine Hill was inhabited by descendants of the original owners for the next hundred years until the early 1940’s when it was sold by the Kinsey heirs to Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Warner. The Warners made extensive repairs and modernization but adhered to the original design. Mr. C. E. Marsh, the next owner, built an addition larger than the original house and added a wing where there had been a porch for an office. He also was responsible for extensive landscaping which included a formal garden with a boxwood bordered walk leading to an artificial pond stocked with fish. -4 The Public Walfare Foundation, a philanthropic'organization created by Mr. Marsh was administered from Jessamine Hill until it was moved to Washington, D. C. several years ago. The Lindgrens will operate a general stock farm with a commercial herd of Angus cattle, a pure-bred herd, sheep and hogs. Mr. David Sanford Evans is to be in charge of all farm operations which include a stable of racing and show horses. Both Mrs. Lindgren and Mr. Evans are accomplished equestrians and will ride • with the Rappahannock Hunt. J. W. Coates Assumes New Duties As AJS.C. County Office Manager fppws James W. Coates of Sperryville assumed duties officially as county of ice manager of the Rappahannock Agricultural Stabilization committee on Monday, Dec. 17. H e was appointed manager in November and since has received six weeks of training in Southampton, Patrick and Fauquier counties before returning to the Rappahannock of ice. Mr. Coates is a native of Madison County where he was employed as a field reporter in the A.S.C.S. program several years ago. He previously worked with Rappahannock Farmers Cooperative and was manager of Washington Apple Growers Cooperati\e . Through these positions he is well known to most area farmers, however those who do not know him are in\ ited to drop by the local office and become acquainted. Mr. and Mrs. Coates live with their two children Cassie and Sandra in Sperryville. Mrs. Coates is the former Betty Snead. Mr. Coates announced Tuesday that the sign-up period for the ACP program will be from December 26 through January 11. N.A. Witcher, Jr., of Danville acted manager of the county ASC office during the period from September 17 until Mr. Coates assumed duties, and Lyman Hudson, Operations Assistant of the Virginia State Office, Richmond,. has also supervised this office'and will .remain Until December 28.

The younger Panthers led by 7-2 at the end of the first quarter and 12-8 at the half. In the third quarter they completely dominated play as they scored 11 points while Cedar Lee failed to score.

Marsh Jr. conferred here this week with officials of the State and Agriculture Departments on problems affecting the relationship of Virginia agriculture to nations of the European Common Market. The informal talks were sought by Marsh as he prepared to succeed Rep. Burr P. Harrison in Congress next month.. In particular. he requested information as to what is being done by the United States.in the face of severe limitations placed on poultry and apple shipments to the sixnation European economic bloc. Marsh said the impression he gained was that of “some encouragement for the prospects of improved access for our mitt in lur ope, but negligible . _ far, on removal of the restrictions imposed on our poultry’*. He added that, while American authorities evidently were making representations against the barriers to American farm product! “in strongest terms and at highest levels", the apparent firmness of the ECM group might require use of retaliatory measures under authority provided by Congress. Marsh said be intended to follow developments closely after taking office, “as the stake of 7th District agriculture in this controversy is great", “As a matter of fact, the trade relationships of our Virginia agriculture with this powerful new European economic combine im i ' ! i - , ^ X X . >; a, % ’

RAPPAHANNOCK HEWS TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON 6TS-S8B1 MBS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Mall at tha Poat Offlea at Waaktafftaa, Va. 8UB80BIPTION (in ) UN KB TEAR w1 ■ " ——r Why Forage Testing By W. H. Ljra*. O. A«tForages vary so much in feed value depending on: stage of maturity at harvest, variety, weediness, weather conditions at harvest time, etc,, that Morrison’s standards have proven of little value. As a result we have been guesstimating forage feed values by employing our senses (color, leafiness, odor, etc.). Now, these inatcurate methods need no longer be employed; VPI has a forage testing laboratory. This laboratory has an anticipated testing capacity of approximately 1500 samples annually. Beyond a doubt this free service will become to the livestock feeder what the soil testing laboratory is to the crop producer. For decades we have had much factual information on the nutritive requirements of different types of farm animals at different ages and fed for different purposes. Also we have accurate data on content of feed concentrates. Thus the big gap in computing rations for forage consuming animals has been m guessing what feed value is in the particular batch of forage being fed. As an example of the weakness of this method, 20 lbs. of mixed hay per day has been a recommended ration for a dry beef cow. How correct has this been? Local Hay Saapltd A sample was drawn with a core borer from 10 bales of mixed clover and grass stubble hay, selected at random, which was produced by D. L. Miller, Jr. At first Mr. Miller objected to sampling his hay because he felt the quality was poor. Based on what met the eye, and weather conditions at the time this hay was made, it appeared to be far from the best vour scribe has seen at the Miller farm. What Were The Results? Perhaps this can best be% shown as follows: Daily requirements of 1100 lb. dry beef cow: 15.2-21.5 lbs. dry matter; ,75-.85 lbs. digestible protein: 8.0-11.3 lbs. total digestible nutrients. Furnished by Miller: hay fed at 20 lbs./day, 17.36 lbs. dry matter; 1.68 lbs. digestible pro otaBoaaaoaQoogpgpoaBpottawoBaooaofcaaotxsMoaooBgooBit Watch and Clock Repairng QUICK EXPERT SERVICE COVERSTON’S WATCH SHOP Main Street Front Royal, Va. i nontaBaaaaaootxagogcaeaantaMMMMancicinnCTcaaaaaai CLORE FUNERAL HOME f •"The Home of Thoughtful Service*' Culpeper, Ye.

Main St , Fra* Royal, Va. • I : ' " **■ " ' * * '• : \ Ramkiings from Rappahannock I By Emily Miller ~ ; Dear Polks: 1 just had to write andwish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and reminisce a little over the past year. So much has been happening in Rappahannock - lots of new folks coming and some of our good friends leaving. The Oscar Lindgrens have moved into their new home Jessamine tefcn; 8.74 lbs. total digestible nutrients. From the above you will note this sized dry beef cow is getting the right amount of dry matter and TDN but twice as much digestible protein than she needs. Since protein is .the most costly feed ingredient, a farmer can not afford to feed excessive amounts. Mr. Miller may cheapen his cow ration by supplementing a portion of his hay with a forage low in protein such as silage or possibly with concentrates known to be high in both dry matter and TDN but low in protein, and depending on production costs. What if this hay were fed to a 600-lb. steer to gain * lb. to 1 lb. daily? What are the feed requirements for this sized brute at this rate of growth? What has been considered a good ration for such a steer to make this rate of growth? One ration recommended in the past has been 12 pounds legume hay and S lbs. grain. Requirements: 10.3-12.1 lbs. dry matter; .71-.78 lb. digestible protein; 5.7-6.7 total digestible nutrient. Miller hay, at 10 lbs./day: 8.68 dry matter; .84 digestible protein; 4.87 total digestible nutrient. This ration you'll note is a bit shy in dry matter and TDN a bit over in digestible protein. Were Mr. Miller to feed but 2 lbs. of No. 2 corn the ration would be adequate. Let’s consider the possible savings now that nutrition con* tent of his hay is known. Alfalfa is now selling at 1% cents to 2<s per pound; mixed hay around lHc, corn around 2Vfec lb. Thus the recommended ration shown above would cost 28.5-31.5 C as compared to 22.5c or a difference of 6c to 9c per day. This may seem like a small amount but assuming a 150-day feet period it counts up pretty fast ; $9-813.50" peF head. Yes, what we have to feed and how much we feed is of considerable economic importance. A ration, it must be remembered, is but a guide. In finality whether it does the job it is supposed to do depends on other management factors. Regarding management, George Litton, head of VPI’s Animal Husbandry Department says: “Take the man out and all you have left is agement . . . any body can grow old.” The man doing the job must hold feed waste to a minimum, he must control internal and external parasites, etc., etc. However, the value the forage testing laboratory can be to the livestock feeder I hope to have made clear. I do hope that some day its testing capacity will be increased 100 fold, or better, for 1500 samples isn’t very many when we stop to think of all the silage and hay made by different farmers under different conditions, etc. '. \ -■ Hill with their three children and are working like mad to have a real old fashion' Christmas.

Shanholtz, State Health Commissioner, offers these shooting safety suggestions, in hope of preventing gun accidents: 1. Treat every gun with the respect due a loaded gun. 2. Unload every gun before carrying it into the home or camp. ' .

William C.Printz Agent, Peoples life Insurance Company AMISSVILLE, VIRGINIA *J. Keep gun oarrei ana action clean and unobstructed. 4. Always carry the gun with miizzle direction under' control, and on safety. 5. Be sure of your target before shooting. 6. Avoid horseplay. 7. Never climb a tree, through a fence, or jump a ditch with a loaded gun. 8. Never shoot at a smooth* hard surface or the surface of water. 9. Don't mix gun powder and alcohol. “Virginia had numerous firearm accident deaths last year, most of them during the hunting season,* said Dr. Shanholtz. “Teenage boys are the most frequent victims. If your teenager wants a gun, and you do not feel qualified to teach him to use it, ask a friend who is a competent instructor to give him a good start. Some police departments and Boy Scout leaders conduct such classes. Each youngster should hunt uhder supervision until he proves he can handle the gun responsibly at all times. “Hunting is a healthy sport and should be kept so by avoiding firearm accidents, concluded Dr. Shanholtz.

Virginia Afield Wt Robert M. Gooch |^e Controversial Deer Rifle The deer is a relative newcomer to _ much of the Old Dominion—and his coming has brought into common use the deer rifle, the most’ effective firearm for hunting him. Most Virginians have grown up with the Shotgun, known it since childhood, learned to use and trust it, and to accept its place in: * corner of their homes. There are shotgun accidents every year—many of them fatal, but they also are accepted and shrugged off. But let us have a rifle accident and die sky falls in. All rifle owners become criminals and the clamor goes up to ban the “high-power" rifle. And this many counties have done. Far to often, neither the citizenry nor the legislators have the proper understanding of what they loosely refer to as a “highpower* rifle. Unlike the I shotgun, the rifle is still a stranger, something to mistrust and outlaw. The most common objection to the rifle is its long range. “They will shoot a mile." The rifle does have good range, one of the features making it ideal, for deer, but does this make it more dangerous than the shotgun? Statistics show that the majority of ALL gun accidents occur within a range of 50 yards of the firearm — or well within shotgun range. Most deer hunting is done in rolling, hilly country, much of which is covered* .by forests. A bullet that hisses its mark either hits the ground or a tree or expends itself high in the air. Most deer are taken at ranges of under 100 yards and its doubtful that' many bullets travel much beyond that. Another.objection often put forth is that the rifle bullet will ricochet off its course. A steel-jacketed military bullet or a solid point 22 will ricochet, but this type of bullet is not used in hunting. The hunting bullet has 1 CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS EVERYONE H # -v \ <v. MAY SPIRITUAL JOY BE YOURS GILL IMPLEMENT CO. Warranton, Va. YfiWrfglri either a soft nose or a hollow point and mushrooms on impact. Its built that way tQ ' give it more shocking power. On the other hand the slug so often used in the trusted shotgun does not have this mushrooming feature and will plow through the brush for 100 yards or more. In irresponsible hands the rifle is of course dangerous. But so is the shotgun, automobile, rowboat, power saw, farm tractor and the family carving knife. Every year shotgun accidents far exceed rifle accidents. And highway travel to and from a hunting area is probably more dangerous than the actual hunting. When the violation of a right is threatened its common practice to look to our long cherished Bill of Rights to see what our forefathers had to say. The second amendment to that document states: “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." By contrast when a dictator takes over a country, usually one of his first moves is to take all guns away from the citizens. The rifle, not the shotgun, won this country and if it ever becomes necessary to defend our shores the rifle will again play a major role. We should know how to use it. Banning the rifle is not the answer to firearms accidents. The answer lies in the proper education of people who handle all types of firearms. How often do you hear of our well trained state troopers being accidently shot? And these people handle guns daily--not just on weekends. The proper people to get behind such a project are the people who own and love guns--the sportmen of the state. Nativity Scenes Popular In Spain Nativity scenes are so popular in Spain that vendors set up stands before the holiday to offer colorful clay, wood and cardboard figures which are arranged into Nativity scenes, known locally as “Belenes” or “Nacimientos.” In some villages it is custom to award a prize for the best arrangement of a Belenes. A proud possession of the Benedictine Monastery of Montserrat near Barcelona is a small carved figure of the Madonna and Child, believed to have been carved by* St. Luke and brought to Spain by St. Peter in 30 A.D.

Time must be put in, during lunch period, in Detention Hall when a teacher' feels punishment is necessary for a certain student. During the past few weeks a list has been drawn up by the faculty giving a certain amount of time in Detention Hall for some of the more serious offenses; one of these is Insubordination, 5 hours. Five hours in Detention Hall amounts to twenty min-, utes a day for three weeks. Surely, if a student acts in class in such a way that his actions could be judged as insubordination, more serious action should be taken than five hours in Detention' Hall. When it is firmly established that a student has been insubordinate to one of his instructors, that student should be removed from that class until such time as the School Board can act on his case.

Rollins Jr., a horticulturist with the Virginia Agricultural Extension Service at Virginia Tech, said much of the mechanical equipment at present “is not practical with the kind of economic structure of the harvest operation.” But, he added, “should tbs cost of harvest tabor increase, such equpiment would likely be readily adopted aa growers Substitute capital for tabor.” Yesterday’s* hearing hr Winchester was called by the U. S. Labor Department in its investigation of whether foreign migrant tabor has an adverse offset on domestic tabor. About M par wns attended the session, conducted by Clifford P. Grant, a hearing examiner for the department. Dr. Rollins said that 'the two important objectives in the harvesting process are to keep fruit bruising to a minimum and reduce harvest costs. He said that competition with other sections of the country makes it mandatory teat the crop be picked within 10 days of its peak condition. Joseph P. Dorsey, president of the Frederick County Fruit Growers Association, said his organization denied that wages paid foreign migrant workers created an adverse effect on domestic labor. Re added that an "advise effect ” rate based on hourly earnings was not proper here because tee apple harvesting is dotie ota • place wort basis. Gurauteed rftinimums would result in fewer jobs for some classes of local, marginal and domestic workers, he said. William E. Bahre. representing the bureau of employment and security of the Labor Department said the bureau “has concluded that it cannot state that the temporary employment of foreign agricultural labor in the states of I Virginia and West Virginia at a rate less than 80 cents per hour will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of domestic workers similarly employed in these states.” Grant, at the end of the threehour hearing, said anyone who wished to file any written arguments or statements could do so until Jan. 20.

Extra By Ed The thoughts and actions of everyone now center entirely around Christmas and the approaching holiday. The best story, a true one, that I have heard recently concerns a little boy from Sperryville. His mother asked him what he wanted Santa to bring him. He replied, “I can’t tell you because it is supposed to be a surprise.” . Well, to -say the least, mamnta was a bit taken aback, so she put a piece of paper in the typewriter and told him to sit down and write Santa a letter and tell him what he wanted. The little fellow pecked aimlessly around on the typewriter and announced he had finished his letter. "Now,” said his mother, “you read it to me.-” Said he, “You know I can’t read, you’ll have to read it." Finally, the little fellow disclosed his secret Christmas wishes at Sunday school and mamma heard the conversation, so all is well. In sentencing an 83-year-old woman driver, a North Carolina judge declared that the state was partly responsible in permitting one of such; advanced age to be licensed. > France, with 7 million automobiles, kills 8,000 people annually.

Hoffman Implement Service CULPEPER, VIRGINIA MAY YOUR HOLIDAY GLOW WITH PEACE AND HAPPINESS LEE ROSENBERG CULPEPER, VIRGINIA The commercial Christmas tree you buy this year most likely didn’t “just grow” like topsy. Chances are the tree you enjoy during the holidays has for several years received careful attention from a tree farmer, Growing Christmas trees require almost as much care as tobacco, cotton, or any other commercial crop—and Christmas trees are grown with the idea of producing a compact, well-shaped tree about seven or eight years old. Christmas tree customers have established such high standards that great stress is put on the quality of the tree, whether it be Fraser fir, Douglas fir, red cedar, Scotch pine, Arizona cypress, white pine or other popular varieties. Commercial growers of the Fraser fir, for instance, start cutting back the side and top branches when the tree is about ___ two or three feet high. Each year, in dormant months, the tree is sheared. The average grower plants 2,700 trees to the acre. Each year he mows around them for weed control and he maintains fire lanes. He examines each tree once a year and each tree is sheared annually the third through the sixth years. The big job—harvesting— comes the seventh year. Trees are carefully cut and transported immediately to market, where they will soon delight boys and girls of all ages. MAGIC MISTLETOE The mistletoe, which means “all heal” was believed by the Druids to have magic powers to protect those who owned it from witchcraft, heal disease, neutralize poisons and bestow fertility.

* Why Is A Foxhunters' Organization Needed? ■ Why Stimulate Interest in Fox and Hunting? By W. H. Ljue Of late people have asked •Why is a fox hunters organization needed?" Others have *" said “Fox hunting is already doomed, because of so many deer; why bother?Who wants to listen" to a gang of dogs barking anyway?" Perhaps it would be best to answer the deer question first. Certainly now is not the first time Virginia has been populated with deer. There were deer in Virginia in George Washington’s day. He. our first President, was an avid fox hunter. The sport of fox hunting has meant much to the historical and economical development of the Commonwealth including Rappahannock County itself. But to the Why? of an organization. Organized effort usually means bigger and better results than those of an individual. There are many reasons, but first let’s consider the sport itself. The chase is a nerve tingling experience to hear and witness; a matter of the pursued and the pursuing employing every inch of their inherent skills to escape or account for. It is a fundamental aqd honest challenge; the fox pitting his cunning,speed, and endurance against the brains, know-how speed, and endurance of the hounds. The fox is more cunning than the hound--otherwise, he would have been extinct long ago. The hounds in giving tongue always let the pursued know their whereabouts and thereby demonstrate fair play. A true foxhunter has no equal as a sportsman. He respects the other hunters’ game. He respects the property of others. He likes the out-of-doors and thereby lives close to his Maker. Foxhunting is a common meeting ground no matter whether the foxhunter be a pink-coater or a one-gallus, fork s-of-the-creek hunter out at night with his lantern and hounds. Name any characteristic most desired in mankind and such character| istics will be those most sought after by our hunt clubs, or the independent hunters in their .hounds. Are I these not reasons enough for the fox hunters to organize ! in the interest of their sport : and their game? No, unfortunately they are not. Somehow it seems to me the number of fox hunters is dwindling. Interest in the sport doesn't seem to be as great as it once was. In dwelling on the situation my first fox turn-out comes to mind. It was Thanksgiving of 1919 at “Yatton* then owned by the Marshalls of Orange County. World War I was over and people were beginning to devote more of their time to pleasures one can find in rural living; they needed relaxation. There were fifty-odd hunters gathered together; men, ladies, i and children. Some were on | blooded mounts groomed to ! perfection; others were ridj ing mules or plow horses. I Some mounts were tasked • to the Nth degree; others ! wore blind bridles, some j were without saddles. My daddy had taken me to the scene ‘just to watch*. There was much bickering as to whose hound would out-run the others. Everyone seemed enthusiastic and having a grated time. Owners of 14-6-8 hounds had fastened their dogs in a hay barn. Mr. Fox was fastened in a Johnny house. On the way over, Pop said we couldn’t go with the riders because of his recovering from an appendectomy. After getting to the scene my hopes built up with desire to go all the way; yet I was scared of the thought. I had never jumped a horse. My mount had been schooled only for flat racing; a hot-headed filly just off the track at St. Louis or Kansas City- I’ve forgotten which. Presently the Johnny house door was flung open wide. Out bounced a beautiful red fox; the first I’d ever seen. Across Marshall's meadow he flew with ease and grace as if blown by the wind. Without warning someone yelled, “Black Jack i$ com-| ing out!*, knocked jowardg the barn toTsee a black and* tan jumping from the top of the barn out of the hay We welcome the opportunity the Holiday Season offers to express our appreciation of the patronage and good wjll of our friends.

I suspect some small bets had been placed between houndsmen, for someone opened the barn and out burst over a hundred baying hounds; that someone wasn't about to let Black Jack get a big lead on his 'Pride’ and 'Joy’l Knowing the other riders would soon be off, remem| bering what Papa had said about hot going and the excitement having banished all fear, my eyes filled with tears. I turned my horse in the opposite direction so no one could see. Then my dad’s yelling voice. “Come on, Bilir ; Somehow we made it to the kill—that is me andmyfilly. ! Empress, none the worse tor j wear. Now that I am a father ; who has watched his kids I grow up, I’ve often recalled I the confidence resulting, i from this boyhood ex per- ' I ience; a few hours of stickj ing on, with now and then I a helping hand, aided my I self confidence more than ! all of lide’s nine years of, finding out. In passing homesteads that day, people ran into their yards to wave and wish us well. Everyone seemed to be interested in us and in. the hunt. For days afterwards school kids talked of., the Thanksgiving turnout. I witnessed conversations about rhe chase on street. The Christmas Guest I "It happened one day at the year’s white end Two neighbors called on an old-time friend | And they found his shop, so meagre and mean, Made gay with a thousand boughs of green. And Cbnrad was sitting with face a-shine When he suddenly stopped as he stitched a twine " II "And said ‘Old friends, at dawn today When the cock was crowing the night away, '■ The Lord appeared in a dream to me And said, ‘I am coming your guest to be.’ So I’ve been busy with feet astir ; | Strewing my shop with branches of fir. I III The table is spread and the kettle is shined ' And over the rafters the holly is twined. '' And now I wiH wait for my Lord to appear And listen closely so I will hear His step as He nears my humble place r< And I open the door and look in His face.’ IV "So his friends went home and left Conrad alone For this was the happiest day he had known. For, long since, his family had passed away And Conrad had spent a sad Christmas Day. But he knew with the Lord as his Christmas guest Thia Christmas would be.thtf dearest and best. V “And he'listened with only joy in his heart * ^ And with every sound he would rise with a start * And look for the Lord to be standing, there - i In answer to his earnest prayer, ; So he ran to the window after hearing a Aound j But all that he saw on the snow-covered ground VI “Was a shabby beggar whose shoes werd; torn And all of his clothes were ragged and worn •* So Conrad was touched and went to the'door And he said ‘Your feet must be frozen and sore And 1 have some shoes in my shop for god.* '] And a coat that will keep you warmer, ;too.’; VII "So with grateful heart the man went away But as Conrad noticed the time of day; ? } He wondered what made the dear Lord so late And how much longer he'd havei to waii. 1 When he heard a knock and-ran to the doory < But it was only a,stranger once more. * 1-. * i! She asked for only a place to rest, But that was reserved for Conrad's Great Guest! But her voice' Beamed to plead, “Don’t send me at’ay, Let me rest for awh;le on Christmas Day.’ IX “So Conrad brewed her a steaming cup ? And told-her to sit at the table and sup. i< Bat after she left he was filled with dismay For he saw that the hours were slipping away, And the Lord had not come, as1 Me said He would, And Conrad felt sure he had misunderstood: X “When out of the stillness he heard a cry, ‘Please help me and tell me where am I.” So again he opened his friendly door v And stood disappointed as twice before. It was only a child who had wandered away 1 And was lost from her family on Christmas Day. XI “Again Conrad's heart was heavy and sad, But he knew he should make this little girl glad So be called her in and wiped her tears And quieted all her childish fears. Then he led her back to her home once more. But as he entered his own darkened door XII “He knew that the Lord was not coming today, For the hours of Christmas had passed away! So he went to his room and knelt down to pray And he said, ’Dear Lord, why did You delay? What kept You from coming to call on me, For I wanted so much Your face to see?’ XIII “When soft in the silence a voice he heard, 'Lift up your head, for I kept My word: Three times My shadow crossed your floor, Three times I came to your lonely door: For I was the beggar with bruised, cold feet. And I was the woman you gave to eat, And I was the child on the homeless street.' ” .i. "the star, which they sow in the east, went before them, tilt it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. — And when they were come into — the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto h i m gifts" Since then, God has depended on men wise in his ways to spread the news of the Savior and to lead other men into His fold. And He depends on the same wise men to present gifts. At Christmas time, worship with your tithes and offerings so that all people may know Christ.
