God begins with a Babe............

God begins with a Babe.More than a century ago men were following with bated breath the march of Napoleon and waiting with feverish impatience for the latest news of the wars.And all the while in their own homes babies were being born.But who could think about "babies"?Everybody was thinking about" battles ." In one year lying midway between Trafalgar and Waterloo there stole into the world a host of heroes! During that one year Gladstone was born in Liverpool,Alfred Tennyson was born at the Somersby Rectory and Oliver Holmes made his first appearance in Massachusetts. On the very day of that same year Charles Darwin made his debut at Shrewbury and Abraham Lincoln drew his first breath in Old Kentucky.Music was enriched by the advent of Felix Mendelssohn at Hamburg,while within the same year Samuel Morley was born at Homerton,Edward FitzGerald in Woodbridge and Frances Kemble in London. We fancy that God can only manage His world by big battalions abroad,when all the while He is doing it by little babies at home.When a wrong wants righting,or a truth wants presenting or a continent wants an opening,God sends a baby into the world to do it.That was why,long,long ago,a Babe was born at Bethlehem.How Great is He ...isnt He?
