----_---- ee a a a * Ser, The Haileyburian 'Thursday,. December. 22,, 1960 bs PL Here is a young man who was born in an obscure village, the 'child of a peasant woman, He frew up in another village. He 'worked in a carpenter shop until he was thirty, and then for three years he was an itinerant preach- He never wrote a book. He held an office. He never a home. He never had a never owned family. He never went to college. He never put his foot inside a _ big city.. He never traveled 200 miles from the place where he was born. He never did one of the things that usually accompany § great- ness. He had no credentials but himself. While he was still a young man, the tide of public opinion turned away. He was turned over to his enemies. He went through the mockery of_a trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. While he was dying, his execu- tioners gambled for the only piece of property he had on-earth, and that was his coat. . . When he was dead, he was laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend. Nineteen centuries have come and gone, and today he is the central figure of the human race and the leader of the. column' of | progress. I am far within the mark when I say that' all the' armies that ever marched, and .all- the navies that ever sailed, and all the par- liaments that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon the earth as has that ONE SOLITARY LIFE.

Santa looked up shortly after- ward to see both men - coming through the crowd toward - him. He turned pale under his mask as he recognized them and turned about as if to go across the street.

They went across the walk to the car and two of the men and the handcuffed men entered.

'Just a plain private eye by' the name of Richard Layne,' was the answer. 'All. right. mask off.' : "Layne removed it. 'You see, its this way, Cap.
