Believe Quote by Amelia C. Houghton
““We believe now," the children and the fathers and the mothers all said to each other with the light of faith that little lame Stephen had inspired on their faces. "We believe that Saint Nicholas will always come to us as long as there is one child alive in the village." "In the village!" echoed little Stephen. "In the whole world!" he shouted triumphantly.””
