lay before him.
Why, then. should they show joy and
rejoice AT his birth? Evidently, il was
because they were able to look beyond
the 33 years which he was destined to

hasn't come. Looking back at the
record of the past 20 centuries, we find
that every one of them has been stained

these centuries we have been passing
through that period of opposition 10
which Christ referred when he said:

While the ultimate end of the Chris
