Mary was ready for her great mission. For Gabriel told her that she who knew not a / man, was to be visited by the mysterious Holy Spirit, and bear | a Son. His name, | given before | birth, was to be Jesus, for He would save His people from their sins. The modest maiden was overawed; yet her fine spiritual qualities made her docile. She was the Lord's handmaiden. With a quiet courage that was heroic, knowing full well the slanders and evil gossip that | awaited her, she accepted songfully | the destiny that was laid upon her. | Before we dwell upon the Child Jesus, we should remember Mary, and all the dreaming, spiritually- minded mothers since.

He ranged its slopes—I once took a photograph of the town from a hillside cave where doubtless he once dallied and dreamed—He plaved its games, He | did the conventional home chores and He watched the imperial proces- sion of cosmopolitan life pass Naza- reth’s doors, on the way from Da- | mascus to Jerusalem and the port cities. He learned Joseph's trade as carpenter; and when Joseph dieé He doubtless succeeded to the re- | sponsibility for the family. | Pngrossed in these common ways, Jesus yet had a life apart, in com- munion with the Father whose will He had come to do.
