B: Christmas-Eve.

Man must find his law within himself, be the source of his own activity, not passive or receptive, but outgoing and effective.

"Rejoice we are allied

To That which doth provide

And not partake, effect and not receive!

A spark disturbs our clod;

Nearer we hold of God

Who gives, than of His tribes that take, I must believe."C

C: Rabbi Ben Ezra.
