“To-day the whole Christian world prostrates itself in adoration around the crib of Bethlehem and rehearses in accents of love a history which precedes all time and will endure throughout eternity. As if by an instinct of our higher, spiritual nature, there well up from the depths of our hearts, emotions which challenge the power of human expression. We seem to be lifted out of the sphere of natural endeavor to put on a new life and to stretch forward in desire to a blessedness which, though not palpable, is eminently real.” IfsWorldHumansWellsHeartRealWholeSeemsChristianSpiritualDesireNaturalChallengesEmotionExpressionHigherEternityInstinctDepthEndureChristmasAll TimeEndeavorSpheresAccentsNew LifeAdorationBlessednessBethlehemSpiritual Nature Author:James Gibbons
