[A Christmas Poem]

Came to earth for you and me.

And live in the victory won!
I often lose sight

A CLEAN SLATE
A little boy was told by his mother not to play near a certain pond. One day the temptation was too much, and, venturing too close, he fell into the water. He was very conscious of his wrongdoing, and most uncomfortable. So he wrote on his school slate: "Dear Mother, I am sorry I
