Eternal Galilean (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Eternal Galilean<br><br>This is Christmas eve!

Everywhere there IS a new spirit a new life a new hope a new joy!<br><br>But What is it all about? Why are people mak ing merry? Why call this a season of joy? There must be some reason for it. I can understand why We shoot off firecrackers on the Fourth of July be cause that is the day we celebrate the shot of liberty that was heard ''round the world; I can understand why we are silent for a few moments on Armistice Day for that is the day we pay tribute to the heroes of our battlefields.

But I cannot imagine him doing so if his fortune is only a joke.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
