"The Birthday Of The King 9 By SARAH (PaH 9) days before Christmas, it All the beautiful white snow was WMherf. away, The snow men shrank into dirty dwarfs. The snow ftart crumbled away.

And the children steed dolefully watching from ihe playroom windows. "it's ktoda lonesome," Clyde Said, and Jenny nodded. "It would nave been fun" to have snow for Christmas." Billy came up to Miss Temple and took her hand shyly. "You remember the Birthday story, Miss Temple?" he asked. "Maybe we could forget the rain you would tell us a little more.

What happened to the Wise Men? And what happened to the Baby, and Mary and "Well, all right we'll forget the rain and go back to the Holy Land and see what happens," Miss Temple smiled. "You remember," she began, "that the wicked King Herod had asked the Wise Men to come and tell him when they had found the Baby, so that he could Worship the Baby also?" "Yes," Clyde -Spoke up, "but that ole Herod wasn't going to worship the Baby! He wanted to kill Him!" "Well, Herod waited and waited for th-3 Whe Men 1 to come and tell him. But they "did not come back to -Jerusalem. After they had given their gifts to the Baby, God sent a dream to them, telling them that they should not return to King Herod, And the next morning, the Wise Men awoke and started on their homeward journey. But they took a different road and did not pass through Jerusalem.

"And Herod was very angry. He began to be afraid, as well. This newly born King He might grow up to take the throne from Herod!" "But Mary and Joseph did not know about Herod's wicked thoughts. They were very happy, and they were grateful to God. So they knew, they must show God that they were grateful by taking little Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem, and dedicating Him to the Lord." "What's dedicate?" asked Jenny.

"Well, when we dedicate something, we give something which we have made, or which we own, to a friend. And Joseph and Mary went to the temple to dedicate the baby Jesus to God's service, for the law of the Hebrew people said that the AND HEROD WAS VERY ANGRY He Feared New-Born King Might Tnko Ilia Throne first child born to a family was to be so dedicated. "So Joseph and Mary nnd the Baby went to the beautiful temple in Jerusalem to dedicate the Baby to God. "Joseph bought two doves to give to the priest as au offering," "Then a strange and wonderful thing happened. An old, old man, whose name was Simeon, had come into the temple.

When he saw Joseph and Mary carrying the Baby toward the priest, he stopped short, and his face shone with joy. "Then he hurried forward, and gently took the Baby in his arms. he said, 'I have seen our Lord, and I can go in peace. For God told me that before I died I would look upon the face of the and here He is! He will be the glory of His people, and a light to the rest of the. "I imagine that Mary must have looked at Joseph, wondering.

How could Simeon know? The only way he could have know must be that God had told him. Sometimes God does tell us, If we try to be good and do what He wants us to do."
