We find in St. Luke the 1st chapter, and 3th verse, you find in that verse where Jesus was forseen as i a Saviour and a lover of man. Next we notice the 2nd chapter and 11 verse, quote: all things are possible with God”. So the great est day the world ever known was the day in which Jesus was born. Everyone should pause and medi tate for a moments and think of that most glorious moment and repeat those old familiar lines, quote: Though many dangers, toils and snares I have all ready come. We can then say with all our hearts, Glory to God in the High est and on Earth Peace and Good Will To All Men.
