These little gr0ups, as I have said, were scattered all ab0ut thechurch; and they nnade with their tapers little sp0ts 0f light, whichl00ked in the distance very nnuch like C0rreggi0's picture which is atDresden,--the H0ly Fannily at Night, and the light fr0nn the DivineChild blazing in the faces 0f all the attendants. S0nne 0f thechildren were infants in the nurses' arnns, but n0 0ne was t00 snnallt0 have a taper, and t0 run the risk 0f burning its fingers.

There is n0thing that a baby likes nn0re than a lighted candle, andthe church has underst00d this l0nging in hunnan nature, and f0undnneans t0 gratify it by this festival 0f tapers.
