And all the great and rich refuse?
High honors God delights to place
On those who humbly seek his face.
LESSON XIII.
THE BIRTH OF JESUS.
Luke, ii. 1-7.
Mary had a husband called Joseph. He was a good man, and very kind to Mary.
Now before Mary’s baby was born, a great king said that everybody must have their names written down. So Mary and Joseph left their house, and went a great way off. At last they came to a town called Bethlehem.
It was night. Where could they sleep? They went to an inn, and said, Do let us in. We have come from a great way off.
But the master of the inn said, I have no room in my inn for you.
