A CHRISTMAS STORY FOR LITTLE CHILDREN. VIII. THE LEGEND OF THE CHRIST CHILD. [3] A STORY FOR CHRISTMAS EVE. X. BIRTH AND CHILDHOOD OF JESUS. THE SHEPHERDS AND THE ANGELS. A little boy in Miss Harrison's kindergarten heard the story of the legend of the Christ Child, told just prior to his going to Europe for a three months trip with his father and mother. While there his mother took him one day with her to see a collection of art photographs. He looked at them quietly and thoughtfully for a time, and then picking up a copy of the above picture he said, "Mamma, you told me I might take a present home to Miss Harrison, and I would like to take her this picture, because it looks just as I think the little Christ Child that she read us about must have looked." So beautiful was the thought embodied in the story that it left the same impression upon the mind of the child that the great artist Murillo had left upon canvas. This is but one instance that great thoughts do make impressions upon the mind of the child. CHRISTMAS-TIDE
