CURTISS Author of "White Gifts for the King" MEIGS PUBLISHING CO. INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Copyright 1916 BY MEIGS PUBLISHING CO. Indianapolis, Indiana FOREWORD No greater teaching force has ever been discovered than the story and no one has ever lived who used that force so skillfully as did our Great Teacher. It is not strange, then, that among all the stories that have ever been written or told none are so dear to us as the stories and legends which center in His birth. Young and old alike delight in them and never tire of hearing them. Unusual care has been taken in compiling this little volume and each story has its own sweet lesson. Each one is from the pen of one who has imbibed the real spirit of Christmas. They were chosen as being particularly well adapted to use in connection with the Christmas Service "White Gifts for the King," but they will prove attractive and helpful at any time during the year. It is our earnest wish that this little book may find its way into many homes and schools and Sunday Schools and that its contents may help to give a deeper appreciation of the true Christmas spirit.
