How wonderful is the birth of every
one born into the kingdom Of God.
A few years after the strange scene
In the Bethlehem stable. we see a Man
OF sorrows. and one acquainted with
grief, SO poor that while "the foxes
had holes and the birds of the air had
nests, the Son Of Man had not where
to lay His head; yet He soothed the
sorrows and relieved the griefs of all
around Him.
Without home Himself, He offered
and was able to bestow a mansion to
all.
A wonderful life.
Poor. Yet infinitely rich; despised
yet Immortality honored; defeated. yet
gloriously triumphant. Bearing all
evil, yet doing ali good
The lesson Of this wonderful life is
that greatness is not in the outward
manifestation. AS He was lowly and
humble yet exalted and glorious, so
every one who is born again may have
like wonderful life. The same in
