Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Holy Child, or the Early Years of Our Lord Jesus Christ
A few years since I heard a sermon on the song of the 'shepherds. It, too, revived the wonder of my childhood, as I imagined that brilliant glory shining upon the astonished shepherds. Standing soon after in a city park, when the trees and clouds were all made sur passingly beautiful by the burning of a worthless house, the thought came, Was it like this? There was the cloud for the angel, and here the glory of light! N o it was far more brilliant. We cannot imagine the surprise of the shep herdss And had they not known of a coming Saviour, they would not have been joyful at the words of the angel. Since that time my pur pose has been to try and write a little book, of which this is the result.
