A lady with him (stranger, too).Also a little childWith golden hair(As Marjorie's was)With eyes as blue and mild!

"I never, father, would come backUntil I knew—was sure—That you knew, as I knew,That I was ever pure.The thief, in dying, confessed his guiltAnd cleared for aye my name,Thank God no guilt has ever tarnishedOr shall mar our fair name;And she, who, in my time of need.Stood ever by my side,I bring to you, my wife,And little Marjorie, our pride!"

How happy the old homeOn the eve of Christmas day,All trouble now is o'er,The clouds have rolled away:The firelight throws its shadowsOn a happy group I "ken"As the Christmas bells are chiming"On earth, peace, good will towards men."
ASKING HELP.
Each night I search my Bible some goodly text to see.Help me the lessons found there, to try and profit me,Help me the teachings found there wherever I may seek,May make me be Thy child, obedient, loving, meek!
NATIVITY.
God said: "Let there be light!" Forthwith was born the day,And nature smiled, was born, And nothingness swept away.From matters deep, dark place Shone forth a brightening ray.Out of the blackened space Shone forth the light of day!
