the Wonder Child

CHRISTMAS is the season of Pantomime, in London at any rate, and a few Christmases pass without the story of Dick Whittington being told again at some theater or other. The children never tire of hearing the story of little Dick and the chimes – children as a rule are good judges of Spiritual Truth. Although we shall never be sure of the cold facts about Sir Richard Whittington who flourished at Guildhall so many years ago, the Spiritual Truth about little Dick Whittington and what happened to him that evening on Highgate Hill is eternal.
