)T long ago there lived In
the city of Marseilles an old
shoemaker, loved and hon
ored by all his neighbors,
ho called him "Father
Shu-tin." One Christmas eve
Father Martin, who had been reading
the story of tile three wise men who
brought their gifts to the infant Jesus,
said -to himself:
"If only tomorrow were the first
Christinas day and the Savior were
coming to this world tonight how I
would serve and adore him! I know
very what I would give him."
He arose anil took from a shelf two
little shoes. ;"llere is what 1 would
give hi in, my finest work. How
pleased his mother would be! Hut
. what am I thinking of?" he continued,
smiling. "Does the Savior need my
poor shop and my shoes?"
But that night Father Martin had
; a dream. He thought that the voice
l of Jesus himself said to him: "Martin,
you have wished to see me. Watch
! the street tomorrow from morning un
til evening, for I shall pass your way."
; When he awoke the next morning,
Father Martin, convinced that what
he had dreamed would surely take
k piace, hastened to put his shop in

"lie hasn't any," sighed the woman.
"Walt a minute. I have a pair."
And the old man brought the shoes
