in this country has deep and
permanent roots, although at one
time its observance was nearly
exterminated.
The first Christmas obser-

Santa Maria beached on Christ
mas Eve and all Christmas day
Columbus and his men worked
to free her. When il was found
hopeless, she was stripped and
as much gear as possible taken

However, the Nina was unable
to carry all the men, and some
were left behind in a fort. that
in honor Of the season was called

Charles Dickens
Life OF Our Lord
kAMoving Story

Last year, the heretofore un-
published Dickens manuscript
''The Life of Our Lord" was pre-
sented to the world.
Written 100 years earlier for
the exclusive audience of the
authors own children, it is a
chld's life of Christ-a simple,
moving narrative, understand
able even to a child and yet
touched by that Incompatible
Dickens genius Which insures its
place by the side of the famous
Christmas Carol among the
great masterpieces of Christmas
literature.
Because he felt such deep ven-
Grafton for the life and lessons
of our Saviour, he left instruc-
tions that this particular manu-
script should not be commercial
lied. Thus, the manuscript was
precious family secret for 85
years. But when Sir Henry Field
ing Dickens, the authors young
est child, died in 1888, it was fin
ally brought forth and sold for
the staggering amount of $780,
900 - or, SIS per word.
Purchased by the London
Daily Mail, the manuscript be-
came a literary event of the first
magnitude, destined to be read
and cherished forever wherever
thoughtful parents, like Dickens
himself, want their children to
know something about the his
tory of Jesus Christ. For, accord
