Author Description

Excerpt from Parables for the People When the angels sang the advent anthem above the manger-cradle of the infant Christ in the hear ing and in the language of the shepherds, they rendered a real service to mankind. God had come closer to man than ever before, and this great his toric fact, this supreme religious truth, was worthy to be celebrated in song: Glory to God in the highest, And on earth, peace among men in whom he is well pleased.
