Description
An
illustrated
newsclipping
of the
front
page
of the
24
December
1953
Nashville
Banner
,
showing
one
of the
youth
choirs
for the
Fannie
Battle
carol
singing
on
Christmas
Eve
, a
festive
tradition
in
support
of the
Fannie
Battle
Day
Home
. The
inspirational
caption
reads
: "
Look
into a
child's
face
at
Christmas
time--above
the
paradoxical
smile
of
angelic
impishness
and
beneath
the
brow
uncreased
by
burdens
of
futurity
. For
it's
a
child's
eyes
that
mirror
the
true
Christmas
Story--reaffirming
a
weary
world's
belief
in
things
unseen
but the
only
realities
worthy
of
belief
.
There's
the
twinkling
star
of
ageless
promise
, the
candle's
flame
of
hope
, the
glowing
light
of
love
, the
confident
stare
of
faith
, the
sparkle
of
divine
expectancy
, the
calm
pool
of
peace
, the
openness
of
innocence
and
frankness
of
friendliness
. If these
eyes
could
but
hypnotize
their
older
counterparts
,
excoriating
greed
and
hate
,
fear
and
distrust
, then the
brotherhood
of
man
,
nurtured
in
Bethlehem's
manager
, would be
redeemed
again
. What
better
wish
for
all
mankind
this
Christmas
,
1953?
