How oft, heart-sick and sore,

I’ve wished I were, once more,

A little child!

Mrs. Southey.

CHRIST—CHRISTMAS.

We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever.—John, xii. 34.

We preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling-block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.—I. Corinthians, i. 23, 24.

We preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord.—II. Corinthians, iv. 5.
