God in a Manger (2 of 4)

Isaiah 9:6
Billie Burke was a big Hollywood star back in the 20s and in the 30s. She played Glenda, the good witch, on "The Wizard of Oz," one of the greatest movies that Hollywood's ever produced, most famous of the movies, One day, Billie Burke was on a transatlantic ride in a ship.
