Charles Dickens' 'Life of Our Lord' Is a Muring Story LAST YEAR, to* hcr«tofor* unpublished Dickens’ manuscript ’ •Th* Lila of Our Lord" was pre- I •anted to th* world. Written 100 years earlier fur to* 1 •xcluaiv* audience of th* author'* own children. It la a child's life of Christ—a simple, moving narrative; understandable even to a. child and yet touched by that tncomparable Dickens genluu which insures it* place by the side of th* famoua ’Christmas Carol’ among th* great masterpiece* of Christmas Mtenrture. Because he felt such deep ven- . (ration tor th* lite and lessons of our Saviour, h* left instruction* ‘ISMWSLEESn that this particular manuscript should not t>* commercialised.
