••••••••••,
Christmas
Eve
Legend.
•
The woods were still and the
snow was deep,
But there was no creature.
• who could sleep.
The fox and the vixen ran to-
gether
Silently through the starry
weather.
The buck and the doe and the
fawn came drifting
Into the clearing. The rabbit,
lifting
His ears, shook white from
the twigs he brushed;
The chattering squirrel for
once was hushed.
As he sat with his paws
against his breast,
And the bobcat crouched on
the mountain crest.
Safe in the fold the silver
sheep
Told the young lambs ndt to
leap.
In the shadowy stable the
horses stood
Hearing the quietness in the
wood,
And the cattle sighed in the
fragrant barn,
Waiting the instant of the
morn.
The stars stood at midnight,
and tame or wild,
All creatures knelt to worship
the Child.

The birth of Jesus is the happiest event in history. When Mary gave
birth to the infant Jesus in Bethlehem, the very heavens rejoiced.
With Christ's birth came the first Christmas morning on earth, a
morning of purest joy, for it was then that God sent His only begotten
Son-into the world.
Centuries have passed, thrones have crumbled Into dust—but the joy
remains. The Saviour has come.
It is sad that in the midst of joy there are many yet in their sins. It is
not God's will that the world be filled with cares, concern, worryings. God
has not intended that sin should reign on the earth. His will is that man
live in communion with God and rest content in His peace, that old and
young, sick and well, should see in the Christ of Bethlehem the giver of
life and eternal happiness.
Without Him there is nothing but darkness and endless care. With
Him there is light, life, and joy without end.
A most blessed Christmas to our friends everywhere!
