were raised... and associations founded; and behold, people became angels of mercy, gathering in the child, the vagrant, the wretched, the neglected girl, and the orphan... and behold, the cross fluttering over the wounded without distinction... as though a hand from on high had turned the world of cruelty into a world of tenderness and blessing.

I saw all this, and I cried out... How great is the Newborn!... He has conquered evil... and changed the face of the world.

And I opened my eyes... The world is keeping the feast of Christmas... and the millions are crying: Glory... peace... love... But much of what was has changed.

It is as though the tender voice had begun to grow faint... nay, God forgive me... as though people had stopped their ears against hearing it.

The victor has begun to take his revenge upon the vanquished.

Wars have begun to sweep away the guilty and the innocent alike.

Matter has begun to reign.

And the "I" has come back, saying: I love — but only myself.

And I heard Gandhi repeating with fervor... Give me your Christ, not your Christianity.

And my lips did not cry out with those who cried: Glory to God... peace on earth... love among men... Rather, from my depths of depths, my spirit repeated...

O Lord of the feast... O you of the meek eyes and the single robe with which you were content: teach us anew to love... and to have mercy.
