My dear little friends — I am going to tell you a wonderful story. It is one of the 'most interesting stories you have ever heard. It is also one of the best, because it is all true, from beginning to end. The story was told to me many years ago, and it made me feel happier than ever I felt before. You have all heard the beautiful story of the birth of the dear Lord Jesus. That story, as you know, had its beginning in a lowly manger, in the little town of Bethlehem, not far from Jerusalem.
