During the last year, sev
read before Christmas well illustrates my thoughts — “A Vicar went into his church one day after Christmas and saw that the figure of the baby Jesus in the Christmas crib was missing. He was just wondering what to do when a very small boy came into church, pushed a tiny wheel barrow down the aisle and, stopping in front of the crib, picked something out of his wheelbarrow and put it into the crib. “Then lie said, ‘there you. are, Lord Jesus, I promised that if I got. wheel barrow for Christmas,, you must be the first person to have. a. ride in it and I have kept my promise.” • \ That ^mall -hoy had a touch
