THE INNKEEPER RETURNS
A Christmas poem by Rer. Edward H. Imme
-— V-—
Ah, Rachel, thirty years have passed
And Time has spun a canopy
Of dusk across the memory
Since we beheld our homeland last.
But look! The City lies ahead.
Time slips. The heart casts off the veil.
Familiar sights and sounds assail
Us like old friends with arms outspread.
We’ll Sabbath in Jerusalem,
We’ll stand on Jordan’s bank again,
And see that little village INN
We used to keep in Bethlehem.
Remember how our hearts did swell
At tales we heard along the way
Concerning One of Whom they say
That'He is Christ, Immanuel?
And how He mends the broken heart
Forgives their sins, restores the blind
To sight, sets free the haunted mind
And teaches Faith and Love’s sweet Art.
ir
And then the strangest things of all;
This mighty One was born, they said,
In Bethlehem. His cradle bed
A manger sheltered in a stall.
Oh Rachel!—could it have been—
It must have been—OUR INN that night!
That girl — so frail — so pale with fright—
We had no room to take them in!
Your heart went out to them, Rachel.
You found a robe; you made me clear
The stall. You heard, while listening near,
The first, thin cry of IMMANUEL!
That was a raw and ugly night.
The Inn was crowded. Tempers flared.
Tired nerves drew taut, and no man cared
A farthing for another’s plight.
And then there came a little Child
And Peace fell like a bird wing, soft
And soothing on each heart, and oft
That night I saw how people smiled.
The Shepherds came adoring there,
Remember, Dear? They first inquired
So shyly, then they spoke of choired
Angels in the upper air.
That splendid Star, straight overhead.
We stood in wonder, looking up,
Drank glory from a silver cup
While wiser men knelt by His bed.
I know that it was He. The One
They spoke of, Israel’s Messiah,
Bom, as foretold by old Micaiah,
In Bethlehem, God’s only Son.
Had we but known we might have moved
That vulgar Antiochian boor
T ogive them room. Yet I’m not sure
His gentle heart would have approved.
It was His choice. They say He shares
The humble good of simple folk
And consecrates the poor man’s yoke;
His only home the robe He wears.
We’ll find Him in some City street
And make amends. We’ve so much more
Than straw to give Him now. We’ll pour
Atoning treasures at His feet.
I’ll grant a fortune to His cause.
But look! On that high hill. The throng!
Some criminal paying for his wrong.
See there, upon the middle cross?
Now, Rachel! Wrongs will never cease!
He’s justly crucified, no doubt.
We’ll go and seek somewhere about
The Temple for our Prince of Peace.
Not thronged with violence and blood
Not midst the twisted thorns of sin,
But there, among the Holy Men
We’ll surely find the Son of God.
By some admiring multitude
Surrounded, drinking breathlessly
His words, these aged eyes will see
The King who graced our manger rude.
So let not undeserved pity gloss
Thin eyes. And yet — one wonders who he is —
And why — what dreadful crime was his —
That suffering one upon the Middle Cross.

■ Little Indiana
l Town Owes Fame
\ To Unusual Name
The little community of San
ta Claus, Indiana, owes its fame
to its unusual name. And at
Christmas time its small post
office is swamped with mail
from throughout the world by
people who want their letter
postmarked Santa Claus.
In addition, thousands of let
ters are received at the post
office addressed to "Santa
Claus, Santa Claus, Ind.”
The notes range from the
wistful to the desperate, re
questing such things as a ma
ma doll, a sled, a sweater, or
a parr of overshoes.
They come from countries all
over the world—small village
in Canada and big cities in
Europe.
