Christ Came in Silence.

 
IT is true the herald angels sang His coming, but it was only the poor shepherds on the hillside who heard the singing. If, amid the music of the spheres, the star advanced to mark His manger, only the Wise Men saw its guiding light. To the world at large, amid the hubbub of the cities, and the cries of sufferers, and the laughter of the boisterous, and the constant noise and movement of an ordinary working world, no ear could catch the tread of the unseen Feet, and hear Him come. — ONLY HE HAD COME.
