Some people associate this coss
torn with the law of the Bible
which forbids a Nazarite to cut
his hair because he is dedicated
to the Almighty. Such was the
case of Samson in the Book of
Judges. Others consider the first
haircut like the first three years
of the fruits of a new tree. Some-;
how this restriction classifies a[
newborn child as being a gift of
God. It indicates that every child
belongs to God who gives it
It is only. by His grace that we
can call the child our own. To show'
this feeling, we refraiii from cut-;
ting his hair until he is 3 years,
old so as to signify that our restric-;
ions regarding the new child were
meant to admit that the child be-
ongs to God and that he becomes
0 urs only by special grant from the
Almighty.

We cannot have heroes to dine'
with us. There are none. And
were these heroes to be had, we
should not like them.—Anthony
Trollope.
