subtlety to the depth of the appeal OF
the birth of Christ. Here divinely

human tenderness and pathos appear.
and, blended. they evidence the worlds
belief that this was both Son Of Man
and Son of God.
An Irish legend tells that, on Christ
mas eve. the Christie Child wanders out
in the darkness and cold. and the
peasants still put lighted candles in
their windows to guide the sacred lit
tie feet, that they may not stumble on
their way to their homes. And In
Hungary the people go yet further in
their tenderness for the Child, they
spread feasts and leave their doors
open that He may enter at His will,
while throughout Christendom there is
a belief that no evil can ouch any
child who is born on Christmas eve.
The legend which tells how the very
hay which lined the manger in which
the Holy Babe was laid put forth liv-

touch of the Babes body could only
have arisen from belief in the renewal
of life through the Lord Of Life.
