Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 190, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 August 1918 — Glory of the Christ Child. [ARTICLE]

Glory of the Christ Child.

Christ on this festival honors infants, consecrates suffering, holds up to us the minds of little children, and » is another radiance and beauty added to the manger throne of Bethlehem, that from tt streams the gospel of the poor, the gospel of the lonely, the gospel of- the sick, the lost, the afflicted, die gospel of little children. The wisdom of Greece and Rome could only spare at this time a push, os a threat, or a curse, which said to toe Mttle, the poor, the, weak, depart: get you out of the way; It was left for the glorious Gospel of the Blessfid Lord to say: “Suffer the tittle children to come unto Me and forbid them not tor of such is the Kingdom of God."—W.
