Christmas Card from Helen Newberry Joy

Holiday card from Helen Newberry Joy. Writing printed on card is a Old Gaelic Rune.

Front cover: "A Rune of hospitality

I saw a stranger yester'en;
I put food in the eating place,
Drink in the drinking place,
Music in the listening place;
And in the sacred
name of the Triune,
HE blessed myself
and all my house,
My cattle and all my
dear ones.

And the lark said in her song,
Often, Often, Often,
Goes the CHRIST in the stranger's guise."
