In the Gospels we read, in connection with the first Christmas, of the Star which guided the Wisemen, or Magians, to the manger where lay the newborn Jesus, in Mary's arms.
God speaks to us today, as he did to Jacob and Joseph of old, "in the visions of the night." In our own darkness of thought come flashes of Truth, which may reveal to us the gray of an eternal morning, which precedes the rising of the orb of Truth.
Let us drink deeply of the Spirit, and walk, with single-eyed devotedness, the very way our Master trod. Having divorced ourselves from material things, we can not fail to see the Star in the East, which leads to the place where the young Child lies.
