The ox was host upon that night Unto the King of all; Ile gave for ineneso ineladowy breath, For shelter his rude stall. Not all the cold of earth and man Canl pierce the heaven mind, Where warn againet her leaping heart A Mlother clasps Her Child. o niraclo of utmost love, How God grew greater vhen Ie stooped to le a helpless babe Besido the hearts of men. Long ages sinco-and still in joy, Iin loneliness and tears, We kneel unto a Little Boy Who smiles down through the year@. -Wilbur Underwood in lteedy's Mirror.
