Mr.. Foote gave a stereopticon lee

Chimney Rock, which was beautifully

"ALittle Child Shall
Lead Them"

CHRISTMAS is the .apotheosis of
~ enfeeblement It is the exaltatiOn
Of childhood It is the glory OF
the little child.
We celebrate this festival in bleak
December, the uncrowned month in our
northern zone, lighting it's dull skies by
the eternal fires of love in human
hearts.
There is not in all this land a home
where the rain beats through the roof,
where the mother and father gather
the children more closely to shelter
them, but the Christmas truth is shin
ing, blessed are the poor"
There is not a homeless boy who in
the December night creeps out of the
snow into an empty dry goods box in
the alley, not a little fellow up under
the rafterS of the poor house on the
county farm, not a founding left in a
basket at the rich mans door, not q
Shivering, tiny girl untitled for a fight
with the storm, but the new truth Of
the Christmas spreads it's wings over
them.
when I am weak, then am I strong"
Who is weak? Who is infirm upon his
feet and walks with a erutch? Who is
afraid of the northeast wind? Who
says: 81 am better; yes, / think 1 am
getting better. But somehow I do not
get my vigOr back?" Who leans up
against the bale of goods IN the half
hidden counter and knows that she
came back to work too soon? Who
was born blind?
To all of you the Christmas has its
meaning. There never was a cOnquerOr
like the child in the cradle. God hath
chosen the weak things to eonfound
the mighty. For 1000 years the his
tory of the worlds civilization has
been the story of the gentler virtues,
the poem, the song and the triumph Of
suffering well. The race is not to the
swift nOr the battle to the strong. Ev-
cry letter of that sentence is eternaIly
true.
The grandest things that were ever
done on earth were done by men and
women who had the spirit OF the child.
The sublimest work of the Creator is
the sweet-faced little child. It is ev-
erythfng for the child, heaven please
all harvests, all gold, all schools, all
trade, all government, all the coming
better times. Christmas means, "And
a little child shall lead them.'-EmOrT
