D-14 Christmas Greetings Wednesday, December 23, 2015 The Press-Dispatch Continued from page 13 Abou Ben Adhem Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!) Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace, And saw, within the moonlight of his room, Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom, An angel writing in a book of gold: Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold, And to the Presence in the room he said "What writest though?" e vision raised its head, And with a look made of all sweet accord, Answered "e names of those who loved the Lord." "And is mine one?" said Abou. "Nay, not so!" Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low, But cheerly still, and said "I pray for thee, then, Write me as one that loves his fellow men." e angel wrote, and vanished. e next night It came again with a great wakening light, And showed the names whom love of God had blessed. And lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest. —James Henry Leigh Hunt LINCOLN A. BAKER, PC (Bah, Humbug!) Attorney at Law 818 E. Main St. • Petersburg 812-354-8201 MIDWEST STEEL INC. - INDIANA 804 E.
