Miss Clark and Attendants »t8- # * m mm L-R Second Attendant, Joyce Williams, "Miss Clark," Marshall Ann Jones, First Attendant, Deana Usher. Ht it No Eoom in fye 3lnn Ivan Hakeem A few minutes ago, I read chapter two in the book of Luke, It is the story of the birth of Christ, Whom I know not how he looks. In my mind His picture I have tried to reproduce, But I did not see his face, Although 1 felt Him so close. 1 leaned back against the sofa, and thought how Jesus was born, His parents walked all over the town, looking for a room. They looked here and everywhere, even in the shep herd’s hut, But they found no room, except in the stable at last. 1 thought of Christmas and Jesus in the world today, And wondered if there is any heart where Jesus can come and stay. Yes, I saw Jesus knocking at the door of some colored people, But they shouted at Him, “No, no! We don’t’ like pale people!” Then I saw him standing by the door of a white family, He seemed to be cold, tired, weak, and very hungry, The same thing happened—I heard the people shout and say, “Hey Blacky!” “Where do you think you are going? Go away!” Later on I saw him standing by the door of an oriental home, There again, Jesus Christ did not find any room, For Buddha, Mohammed and other gods have taken all rooms— Yes, the home is sure crowded with superstitions. Again 1 saw him by the door of a rich family, They told Him to leave for everyone else is busy, “Come some other time!” 1 heard them say, Yes, no time for Jesus—all time for money. And then I saw Jesus by the door of the so called Christians, But they told Him as everyone else had done, Their hearts were pre-occupied, and their minds were busy— Thinking what to get for Christmas, and what to get for Johnny. The same kind of story since that year in Bethlehem, The Jesus Christ cannot find any room in the kin, The situation might be different, but the result‘i? the same—- . Jesus our Savior, cannot find any room in the Inn.
