Show No Greater Love Than This (Cont.) Continued from Page 21 surge, for he realized the men were speaking his native tongue. The boy stopped and called out to them, "Friends, stay! Are you not citizens from my far away home? I understand what you say. Do you not know King Balthazar? And Caspar and Melchoir? I was once their servant, but have fallen into hard times." The caravan leader halted and commanded his camel to kneel. Dismounting, he addressed the boy, "Thou speakest of Balthazar, who is indeed our friend. He and his company left this land to return to their own home some time back. I am Balbeck. How came thee here, Lad?" Amasah told about his enslavement to Herod, about the expedition he had been commanded to serve, and of his suspicions of its terrible motives. He said, "My heart longs to return to my own people, but I have not wherewith to buy my freedom." "We will take thee with us, Amasah," said the leader. "Come along on thy donkey." Leading the other pack animal, Amasah joined the caravan. Soon they arrived at the second valley and paused at the stables for their noontime rest. Amasah's fellow Finally the slave master said, "Load these supplies onto the pack animals. Boy, and follow the soldiers to Bethlehem. Guard the supplies and tend the beasts of burden while the soldiers do their bidding. Seek shelter in the second valley as you approach the town. There you will find stables where you must await the return of the soldiers. Be prepared with food upon their arrival." Amasah did as he was and commanded, mounting a stout donkey led the pack animals south and east out of Jerusalem. The other slaves with him talked among themselves about the cause for this journey. One said he had heard it whispered that Herod was ordering the soldiers to slay all the male babies in the kingdom. Amasah was horrified. How could he serve on such a wicked mission! But he knew of no way to escape. As they continued on their way, torn with Amasah, anguish, fell behind the group to urge on the last beast of burden. The pack slipped on the donkey's back and the lad stopped to adjust it, while his companions got further and further ahead. Amasah's animal suddenly gave a surprised snort and pricked up its ears. Coming down through the valley amidst a grove of olive trees was a camel caravan. As it approached, Amasah could hear the men talking to each other, and suddenly his heart gave a great slaves were already serving food to the soldiers. When Amasah arrived the captain berated him. "Where have you been, lazy fellow?" he thundered. "I should beat you sound-dly.- " "I stopped to reload the beast whose pack had slipped," Greetings to Hoping all the bright days of your Christmas Amasah All ! 1i will glow with delight. Thanks. (Mended himself. Balbeck stepped up to the captain. "Do not beat the lad. Captain," be remonstrated. "He was but doing his bidding by caring for the beast. He is young, but if you don't want him, I could use such a boy. What price would your king ask for this small boy?

Amasah's heart sang with joy. As they passed out of the second A nightgown. Amasah's donkey again pricked up its ears. Glancing at a group of olive trees, Amasah fancied he heard a child's cry. Then he saw a woman and a man standing by a donkey. Amasah sensed their distress and called out, "Friend Balbeck, here are travelers needing our aid. May we stop by them for a moment? I thought I heard a baby's cry." The caravan halted and Amasah turned his mount toward the grove.

The man turned a face of ineffable kindness and concern toward the boy. "Yes," he replied. "My wife and her child need to go to Egypt, but our small beast is stubborn and perhaps ill. I cannot get him to rise to his feet, and we must be on our way." "Thou hast a long journey ahead of you," Amasah said.
