ONE SOLITARy LIFE He was born' in an'obscure village, the child of a 'peasant woman. He grew up in another village, where He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty. Then, for three years,' He was an itinerant preacher. He neyer wrote a book. He neyer héeId an office. He neyer had a family or owned a home. He didn't go to college. He neyer visited a big city. He qever traveed two hundred miles from the place where He was born. He did none of the things that usually accom- pany greatness. He had no credentials but HiiXself.He was only thirty-three when the tide of public opinion turned against Him. His friends ran away. One of them denied Him. He was. turned over to His enemies and went through the mockery of a-trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. Wbile He was dying, Hisexecutioners gambled for His garments, the only property He had on earth. When He was dead, He was' laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend. Nineteen centuries have corne and gone, and to- day He is the central figure of the human race. Ail the ar- mies that ever marched, ahl the navies that ever sailed, al the parliaments that ever sat, ail the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man on this earth as much as that one solitary life. 0 LITTLE TOWN OFB8ETHLEHEM (Kq of G)
