According to the familiar old
carol, St. Joseph was an old man.
He probably was considerably older
than Mary, but people may have
thought of him as being older than
he actually was because he en
joyed earnest conversation and the
companionship of selected friends |
rather than boisterous pleasures, j
When Joseph thought of Mary,:
k he forgot the difference in their
ages: she was the girl he had
waited for, his beloved. They were
espoused—or, as we would say, en- I
gaged—which was almost as offi- I
cial as being married. His heart I
soared on wings of the approach
ing wedding day, and then . . .
What Mary insisted had come to;
pass, simply could not be! Joseph !
wanted desperately to believe Mary, 1
bu‘ such things just didn’t happen,!
and if they did, they happened to j
somebody else.
Much as he loved Mary, Joseph i
was a righteous and God-fearing
man and while he couldn't even,,
think of making her a public ex
ample. he had just about made ;up
l i; mind to put her away privily,
that is, he thought he had made
up hi mind. In his heart, he j
knew he couldn't; what would be- ■
: come of her ... of her child
Then one night, after he had ex
hausted himself with tortured
thinking, he fell asleep and the
angel of the Lord appeared to him 1
m a dream: saying,
"Joseph, thou son of David, j
fear not ...”
And when Joseph awoke, he ]
did as the angel had bidden I
him, and took Mary as his j
lawful and rherishcd wife.
"Pear not,” the angel spoke un-1
to Joseph. ]
Fear not," the angel had de- |
: hired unto Mary.
Fear not,” the angel said unto
the shepherds of Bethlehem. j
CHIMNEY AND SANTA
It is reported that Santa’s custom -
of coming down the chimney on
Christmas eve stems from an old
English notion—that sweeping
down the chimney at New Year's
was necessary so that good luck
could enter in.
ST. NICHOLAS
Florida, Minnesota and Pennsyl
vania have towns named after St.
Nicholas, the Christmas saint.
In Australia, Christmas is cele
brated with picnics and trips in
the open.
Christmas is here again and we’re very glad.
