talked very hard for about an hour, a
small. slender shaft Of light twinkled
Into their midst.
"Who are your" came q chorus of
shining voices.
81 am the Star of Bethlehem" was
the answer.
The other stars had never heard OF
her. They We're inclined to hush her
up. But there was something SO
sweet, so penetrating, so beautiful In
her light that they were constrained to
give heed.
What Is your hlstory?" then de-
manded the largest and Oldest star.
The Star CT Bethlehem qulvered
with a clear radiance which seemed to
have all the colors of the rainbow.
"An angel with a torch came and
lighted me the very first Christmas
Eve. l shone with a special luster and
guided many people to the manager In
SSethienem. uhese The Christ Child lay
with his Mother Mary. Shepherds saw
me while they were watching their
sheep on the hillside. And other angels
of binding beauty sang near me. They
played IN golden harps. The sky shone
with n heavenly glory. There has new.
er been Il night so wonderful"
The other stars listened with awe.
Before this sweet, compelling light they
felt silent and humble.
Then, for an instant, there came an
Incompatible brilllance. The Star of
bethlehem blazed in indescrIbable
beauty. And faint and far came the
music of harps and singing . .
