Xmas Eve!
How little we thought one short year ago, when this season returned it would find one of our
members missing--a cleft mark in our home circle but I must not repine. Think of that precious promise to
those who sleep in Jesus, "Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty. They shall behold the lamb that is very
far off." And my heart ought to be filled with thankfulness at the return of the season which my beloved church
commemorates as the birth night of the Saviour of men "for unto us a saviour is born, unto us a son is given and
his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of
Peace." Sam is with us until Monday night.
