Sources
- Prints Adelaide Lobe’s Christmas poem about teaching a child the Nativity story and Sister Agatha’s short Christian reflection on the birth of Christ, the shepherds, and the wise men. The record preserves the publication, not an independent attribution history for the poem or a theological claim beyond the printed reflection. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.data1 · beaver-island-archive · beaver_beacon · 1977-12_Beaver-Beacon
