Hood ONE SOLITARY LIFE ERE is a man who was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in.another obscure village. He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty, and then for three years He was an itinerant preacher. He never wrott a book. He never held an office.

He never owned a home. He never set foot inside a big city. He never travelled two hundred miles from the place where He was born. He had no credentials but Himself. He had nothing to do with this world except the naked power of His divine manhood.

While still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against Him. His friends ran away. One of them denied Him. He was turned over to His enemies. He went through the mockery of a trial.

He was nailed upon a cross between two thieves. His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had on earth while He was that was His coat. When He was dead He was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend. Nineteen wide centuries have come and gone and today He is the centerpiece of the human race and the leader of progress. I am far within the mark when I say that all the armies that ever marched and all the navies that ever were built, and all the parliaments that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned, put together have not affected the life of any upon this earth as powerfully as that One Solitary Life.

To each and every one-we wish the Merriest Christmas ever! Blytheville Water Co..
