It has neither a tree nor a wreath in it. Only a miracle. Jessie and Aulden Robinson lived in our town nil their lives. They grew up and were married and had three children, two girls and a boy. Aulden worked in a factory, and they lived in a neighborhood which was neither the best nor the worst. Just average. That's about the way it was with everything for the Robin sons, just average. Rut there was one difference. They gave their spare time and their spare money to help those less fortunate, the crippled and the af flicted. They didn't make a big thing out of it. The Robinsons felt a sort of inner obligation to themselves and to God. Some people are that way, you know. A few years ago, Aulden had a heart attack and then another and, finally, after he couldn't work any 8 Futnily tt'rtkli. December 22. 1963 more at all, Jessie earned the living. Five years ago, Aulden died. Jessie managed, mainly because she has a simple faith that somehow things will turn out nil right. Maybe if Jessie's faith hadn't been that kind, she couldn't have taken what came next. A few weeks ago, her son Jimmy fell under a train. His left arm and leg were severed, but he lived. There are times when living takes more courage than dying. Jimmy inherited courage from his mother. He chose life. A stranger who saw the story sent the newspaper a letter en closing a dollar bill. It flowered into a great blossom of compassion. A trust fund had to be established to handle the thousands of dollars which poured in from friends and strangers throughout our town and the state and, finally, the nation. Collections were taken in factories, in stores, in churches, in schools. Children sent pennies for Jimmy; theaters and athletic .groups spon sored benefits. Jessie Robinson needn't worry now about the money for the hospital bills, the endless surgery, the arti ficial arm and leg. And, though she is a proud woman, she finds nothing in her heart but humble gratitude that others cared enough about a fatherless child to help him walk again. Twenty years ago, when the Rob insons gave what they had to others, too, they hoard for the first time the motto of the shut-in club they served : There is a destiny that makes us brothers; None goes his way alone. All that we send into the lives of others Comes baek into our oum. That's the story of Christmas in our town this year. And the miracle? We call it love.
