6 p.m. Tuesday eveningEveryone Welcome!

Allen United Methodist ChurchCorner of E Broadway& Boston

A former Allen resident and his wife have been chosen for a rare honor. They have been invited to be one of six couples to ride on one the leading float in the New Year’s Day Rose Parade in Pasadena, California, this year. It is the E-Harmony.com float

The couple is Walter Smith and his wife, Barbara. Walter Smith grew up in Allen. His mother was Joy Eva Forney. His family lived about three quarters of a mile south of Broadway on County Line Road. This was about three blocks from us and he and my brother, Leon Emer-son, were constant companions. They and their friends played with rubber guns, rode horses together, fished for crawdads in the creek and rode willows to the ground and seemed to be together every day when they were growing up.

Walter and Leon kept in touch all through their growing up years and, after World War II, ended up as neighbors in South-ern California. Their friendship has continued to date.

Walter lost his first wife and after a couple of years began to date. Nothing really panned out for him and he told his sons that he was going to join E-Harmony.com and see if that would help him find someone he really enjoyed dating. He had about forty contacts before

he and his present wife were introduced.

After communicating on the computer three times, Walter gave Barbara his telephone number and asked her to call him. She did and on that first call, they talked for four hours. They made arrangements to meet for coffee. On that first date Walter decided that Barbara was the girl for him. Likewise, Barbara liked his looks and de-cided that he was a good solid man. It was the first call she had answered.

They dated for two weeks and Walter asked Barbara to be his bride. They were married July 23, 2005, in front of 320 wed-ding guests, including Walter’s friend, Leon Emerson. They were also attended by Barbara’s children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and Wal-ters two sons, their wives and 10 grandchildren. Walter and Barbara have been married for

eight years and are hoping for 20 more years together.

This will be the first time ever that a corporate.com has been selected to have a float in the Rose Parade. Out of the 576,000 couples who have met and successfully married on E-Harmony.com, six have been chosen to ride on the float. Of the other couples known at this time, one is from New York, one from Plano, Texas, one is a Latino couple from Los Ange-les, one is an Asian couple from Alhambra, California and one is from Oregon where the wife is a newscaster. The Smiths live in Long Beach, California.

Natalie Cole, daughter of Nat King Cole, will be on the float and will be singing the song Everlasting Love as the parade starts. The float will be one of the first eight floats in the parade. Natalie will be singing love songs from her newest CD the entire length of the parade.

The Smiths will go to Monro-via, California, the day before the parade where they will stay at the Double Tree Inn. They will be taken to the float on December 31st for judging. On the day of the parade, at 3:30 am, they will be costumed, and have their hair and makeup done at the hotel before being taken to the float at 6:30 am for many media interviews prior to the start of the parade at 8:00 am.

It was December 25, 1776, and destiny was in the making. We were at war for our freedom from the British. The cities were in the hands of the British . . . only the woods, the snow, and cold were ours.

On that night, the town of Trenton, New Jersey, was ablaze with light. Houses were filled with German troops. Who cared about the ragged, tattered, starving, and dying roustabouts under George Washington’s command? To these professional soldiers, Washington’s soldiers were simply a “rabble-in-arms.”

There hadn’t been much to change these professional military minds. They had seen these Yankees run at Long Island when the Hessians had come out of the fog. General Sullivan and his men had been chased and caught, with bayonets driven into the backs of the Yanks. There was drinking and boasting about how they would catch that rebel, Washington, and take his head back to England!

On this Christmas Day, Colonel Rall lay at Trenton with three Hes-sian regiments, 50 Jagers, 20 British dragoons, and a detachment of artillery. At midnight, Rall gathered his officers about him and shouted, “Noch einmal! Glory to Gott and to the Foxhunter, freezing in the hills across the river!” It was a night of revelry.

But the despised Foxhunter was on the move. Drawing his coat tighter, Washington peered ahead into the darkness. He sat there thinking. It was the “fullness of time” for him, the enlistments of 2,400 men still left to him were up on New Year’s Day. It was now or never!

At 6:00 p.m. on December 25 his men assembled at the river and somehow they got horses, cannon, and men into the barges. Just after midnight, with nothing but chunks of frozen soup to gnaw on for rations, they pushed across the river. It was a good clean plan for dedicated men.

Suddenly Washington struck! He could have chosen no better moment! They wiped out the defeats of the past. Washington drove Ralls and his 1,400 men out into the cold. It was the turn of the war – every post along the Delaware River had been cleared of the enemy! Christmas Day meant war, good against evil, just as it did on the very first Christmas Day!

—CC—There was no war on when William Busik arrived from California in

the summer of 1939 to become a lowly plebe at the US Naval Academy. Two years later, much had changed. As the midshipmen prepared for the traditional Army-Navy game, to be played the Saturday after Thanksgiving, war was spreading across the globe, and every football

fan in America knew Busik as the star that sportswriters called Barnacle Bill.

Since 1890 Army and Navy had been meeting on the gridiron in the greatest rivalry in American sports, and on November 29, 1941, some 100,000 fans greeted the players in Philadelphia. The six-foot, 185-pound Busik did not

disappoint the Midshipmen faith-ful. He ran, passed, and played tenacious defense. He even punted, setting a school record with a 77-yard boot.

Fans who sprang 50-cents for the 1941 game program and flipped through all 212 pages found a photo on page 180 with the caption: “A bow view of the

My name is Barbara McPherson; I am running for the Allen School Board position vacated by Lynn Anderson. I am a retired teacher and have lived in Allen for eleven (11) years. My goals are that the students receive the best education possible, nutritional food, and bullying stopped in our schools. I have spent 39 years in education (9½ years in public school, 20 years at the School for the Blind in Muskogee, and worked at CCA Davis Correctional facility in Holdenville for 9 years in the education department).

With the state grading of schools, the elementary received a “C” and high school 1. got an “A”. We have good teachers and they need our support so they can give the students the best education possible. This starts at the administrative level. We need teacher and parent participation at all levels of education.

With obesity at an epidemic level in this country we need to give our young people 2. an opportunity to learn about better food choices. This would give them an opportunity to have a healthier life.

Students going to Allen schools have been bullied starting at the elementary level. 3. This type of activity needs to be eliminated by parent, school, and community. It is called respect for others. I have come to know and have made friends in the community through church, city activities and attending Allen School functions. There is always room for improvements and through public service on the Allen School Board of Education I could maybe make a difference.“Give a person a fish everyday or teach them to fish and they can feed themselves

for a lifetime.”PLEASE VOTE . . .

IT IS OUR RIGHT AND PRIVILEGE IN THIS COUNTRY.

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below With tiny lights, like Heaven’s stars,reflecting on the snow

The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear For I am spending Christmas withJesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear But the sounds of music can’t compare with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring, For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart. But I am not so far away, We really aren’t apart.

So be happy for me, dear ones, You know I hold you dear. And be glad I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above. I sent you each a memory of my undying love.

After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold. was always most important the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, my Father said to do. I can’t count the blessing or love has for each of you.

So have a Merry Christmas and Wipe away that tearRemember, I am spending Christmas withJesus Christ this year

game, Busik was soon in the thick of fighting. The academies graduated their classes early to fill the need for officers to command growing ranks, and Busik shipped out for the South Pacific on the destroyer USS Shaw in 1942.

With the country now at war, Congress debated whether the Army-Navy game should be played at all. The game went on – most agreed it was good for morale – but there were changes. To cut down on travel and save precious gasoline, the squads would take turns playing in each other’s backyards instead of in Philadelphia.

The first game was at Navy’s Thompson Stadium, with the army cadets remaining home at West Point. Navy added to its three-game winning streak, shut-ting out Army 14 to 0 before a crowd of 12,000 mostly Navy supporters – through half the mid-

shipmen had been assigned to root for Army. “We yelled the cheers and sang the songs, but I don’t remember being very energetic,” recalled midshipman Bill Wil-liams. “Also when Navy scored I think we forgot whose side we were supposed to be on.”

The following year the game moved to West Point’s Michie (pronounced MIKE-ee) Stadium. Navy again won by a shutout, 13 to 0. But Army was clearly im-proving, aided by the dropping of the age-height-weight restriction that had limited enrollment to skinny guys.

In 1944, Congress again con-sidered canceling the game. Then the idea came up to use it as a fundraiser for the war effort. Scheduled to return to Thomp-son Field, the game was moved instead to the much larger Me-morial Stadium in Baltimore. To purchase tickets, a buyer had to buy a war bond. The game pulled in some 100,000 spectators and $58 million. Scalpers got up to $1,000 for some tickets, and 15 private boxes on the 50-yard line rented for $1 million each.

The cadets, permitted to at-tend that year, traveled south aboard a steamer, with the navy providing destroyer escorts to protect against Nazi subs. As an additional precaution, the ships stayed close to shore, where the ocean swells made for a rough ride. Cadet and future general and secretary of state Alexander Haig recalled an “unforgettable boat trip” that made every cadet seasick.

With Army ranked number one and Navy number two that year, the game turned out to be fir the national college football cham-pionship. Coach Red Blaik and soon-to-be Heisman trophy win-ner Doc Blanchard led army to a 23 to 7 win. Baltimore bars and restaurants overflowed afterward with jubilant soldiers and heart-broken sailors. Baltimore Sun sport columnist John F. Chandler pronounced the game “the No. 1 sports event of World War II.”

The war was over when the teams met the following year. Returning to Philadelphia, the game was as much about cel-ebrating victory as it was about football. President Harry Truman attended with his entire Cabinet. So did the military brass, includ-ing the army’s George Marshal and the navy’s Chester Nimitz. The teams were again ranked one and two, and Army again domi-nated, 32 to 13, to finish another undefeated season and take its second of three straight national championships. That year, the traditional postgame handshake between the teams meant more than every.

by Cleo Emerson LeVallyFor many years my house was

the gathering place for the family Christmas. Some of the family members came a few days early so the celebration and visiting lasted several days. Christmas day itself was the day of the big dinner and some years there may be 25 to 28 people in for the day. My sister who lived in Oklahoma City was the celebrated cook

in our family and she always brought her special dishes to add to the things I cooked.

One of those years so many family members came in early, some stayed over night at one of our rent houses that was empty at the time. On Christmas Eve some of them came early to our house and one sister, Millie, planned to come later. So she left the house to walk to my house and when

she got to Texas Street, she turned the wrong way and ended up at Pratt’s Grocery at 7th & Texas Street. She went in to ask them direction to my house and the clerk asked her where she wanted to go and she replied Texas, and he said,”Lady, you are really lost.’ She only remembered that I lived on Texas Street and that is where she wanted to go. We teased her about that for several years.

Many times for those holidays we asked family members to bring used items from home that could be re-gifted. This was always a

popular thing we did after dinner on Christmas Day. One year was very popular because we had a bachelor uncle here who was so happy to get a set of used sheets and pillow cases. Another gift that was well received was a beauti-ful hand carved Chess set. The young girl who brought it said it had been a gift from a former boyfriend and her new boyfriend did not want her to keep it. The person who chose it immediately challenged one of the guests to a game. We always had fun at those family gathering.

This year, two weeks ago I thought it was just going to be another day and then I received a Christmas card from the youth group at the First Missionary Baptist Church in Healdton. That is the group of young people who painted the playground equipment at one of our city parks. I was so surprised that they would have a Christmas card for ME, and that started my Christmas joy this sea-son. So thank you, to all the youth at the church, for remembering me. I am blessed.

I don’t remember too much about the year of 1940 except it was the year I started first grade and of course I remember the Christmas of 1940. I remem-ber that first day of school and I remember the Christmas Program of 1940. The old schoolhouse was odd in that it was wired for electricity on one end—the auditorium part but the long hallway leading south to the several classrooms was dark. They just weren’t hooked up and we had no lights in the classrooms. But it made no difference what-so-ever to me. My attention was on other things.

I remember my teacher, Ruby Klinglesmith, pretty well. I can remember her soft voice as she rehearsed us pretty hard for the Christmas Program that

we were to do. There was no doubt the kindly young woman loved each of her 1st grade students and that we loved and trusted her back. We would do anything for her.

The night of the program finally arrived and a troop of parents assisted our teacher in dressing us for the play. And what a play it was! Some of us were dressed as angels and others as wise men and there was a Mary and Joseph. The baby Jesus was displayed right there on the stage and nobody thought anything about it. Ruby would get into some deep trouble at many schools today with such outrageous behavior as this—promoting a religion—but I doubt if she

would have cared. As I recall, the show came off without a hitch—that we noticed any-way.

Ruby was the first of several teachers I had in elementary that started the day out with a flag salute and reading of a bible verse and she would pray for us. Each room had a pic-ture of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln (George’s eyes followed you around in the room) in it and the teach-ers made certain we knew who and what they were. Such was the norm at Centrahoma in those days. It was a very poor community but it had “values” that were known and taught to its children. We sang our

songs that night in the brightly lighted school auditorium to a large crowd. The crowd was supportive and happy. I might even add they seemed “satis-fied.” I know that we up on the stage were.

It’s sort of hard to remember so many people living in that area as there were—a commu-nity with 3 grocery stores, rail service, bus service, busy post office and a prosperous main street. The good people of Centrahoma didn’t know this would be their last “peacetime” Christmas for many years to come and perhaps their last in rural Centrahoma. A devastat-ing war would be raging the next December and all would be forever changed—including the future of the town and the school by world events.

I still stay in touch with some of those kids that sang songs for Ms. Klinglesmith that night, 73 years ago. My first grade best friends Letha Mae Moore, Roy Byrd, Bessie Key and Jack, Annie Smith and some others still stay in touch by way of these articles I write and I always perk up when I get to hear from them. Ruby Klinglesmith passed away in 2001 at the age of 101. I don’t know how many kids that stood on that stage that night are still living but I know many are already gone.

I hope each of you, includ-ing the Centrahoma Class of 1952 and all of my readers, have an extra good and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Don’t neglect the reason for the season and be sure and go to Church this Sunday.

“Put Christ back in Christ-mas!” How many times have we heard this! However, was Christ ever in Christmas? The angels certainly celebrated Christ’s birth! When the an-gels announced His birth to the shepherds, “there was with the angel a multitude of the heav-enly host praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” (Luke 2:13-14)

However, Jesus never com-manded remembering or cel-ebrating His birth. Instead, He did asked us to remember Him in the supper He instituted and the early disciples, led by the inspiration of God, kept the Lord’s Supper on the first day of the week. (Acts 20:7) When He instituted that supper, He took bread and “when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, ‘Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’ In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, ‘This

cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.” (1 Cor 11:23-26) While celebrating Christ’s birth as did the heavenly host, is certainly good, our honoring of Jesus Christ should not end with a single celebration of once or twice a year. Doesn’t it seem a bit hypocritical to remember Christ’s birth, but not the Supper He has com-manded? If we “go all-out” in Celebration of His birth, but do not follow His teaching and commands, doesn’t that seem a bit hypocritical? He said, “Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?” (Luke 6:46) Both the Catholic Ency-clopedia, (1911 edition) and the Encyclopedia Americana, (1956 edition) state that Christ-mas was not observed in the first centuries of the Christian church. The celebration of Christmas as we know it today, did not begin by the authority of Christ, but with uninspired men centuries later. Let’s not discourage remembering Christ’s birth, but may God help us to remember Him by keeping His commandments and all the celebrations given by His authority.

(Published in The Allen Advocate, December 26, 2013, January 2 & January 9, 2014)

We had a nice crowd Sunday with visitors coming all the way

“Away in a Manger.” Candace and Lacy Cross sang “Beautiful Star of Bethlehem,” and visitor, Thomas McMillan, sang, “Oh Come Im-manuel.” All were beautiful songs performed beautifully by these four to whom God has truly given special talent.

Rev. Karch’s message was titled “What is Christmas: Past, Present, and Future?” from Luke 2:1-17.

The first Christmas was complete-ly about the child who was born to bring salvation to all. However, things were not exactly as Mary and Joseph would have planned. First, the neighbors couldn’t miss the fact that Mary was pregnant before the wedding took place. Second, Jesus was born in a stable. And third, the first people to whom the angels announced His arrival were just plain old people who worked for a living--a bunch of shepherds.

This baby, born into difficult cir-cumstances, would soon transform the world, though, and today He is calling us to let him transform us. He is also calling us to help Him transform the lives of others.

“Black Friday,” with its frenzied shopping, has come to represent Christmas Present (no pun intend-ed) in America. What is more, this country founded on Christian prin-ciples is coming close to denying its own heritage. We have approached the ridiculous in restricting Chris-tians from publically celebrating the birth of Christ.

Public figures who express their Christian beliefs or quote from the Bible are vigorously attacked by the Politically Correct, who seem to have control of much of the me-dia. The situation Phil, from Duck Dynasty, finds himself in is a case in point. Yet, those who express their values in ways that are obvi-ously designed to shock us receive a virtual free pass from the Politically Correct.

Christmas Present is in danger of losing the message of Christmas

among all the materialism and politically correctness that runs rampant in our nation today.

What about Future Christmas? Some groups are already trying to shoot down Christians and all public expressions of their beliefs. If this continues, in thirty to forty years we may not be able to men-tion Christ in public at all.

Christians must stand strong by firmly exercising their freedom of speech to express Christian teach-ing and to tell others about Jesus. By standing boldly for Christ there is hope that Christmas Future is bright—like the City on the Hill that Jesus calls us to be.
