Excerpt from Hits and Misses Nineteen hundred years ago a little child was born in Bethlehem and cradled in a manger. It was no stronger and, perhaps, no more beau tiful than others, but that birth has proven to be the greatest event of time. That little, help less child has been the pivot of human his tory, and every century makes it plainer that the government of the world is soon to rest upon those then so tiny shoulders.
