The cannons shooting at the playing of the 1812 Overture was impressive, but not the most

[144]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – IN THE MANGER LAID – CHRISTMAS POEM

TRAMPLING DEATH
The early Christians understood that death had been conquered by the resurrection of Christ; this theme recurs repeatedly in their writings. Again and again one is struck with the note of victory in the attitude of the martyrs as they faced death. St. Athanasius wrote of this

A prisoner who just couldn’t take any more pulled a daring escape from the county jail in Fordyce, Arkansas. He would have been better off staying put: as the man was escaping, a county judge was ordering his immediate release because he had been locked up too long due to a clerical error. The
