"The First Christmas Tree" by Henry Van Dyky is a short story that tells the legend of the first Christmas tree. Henry Van Dyke was an American author, educator, and clergyman, known for his writings on religion and his inspirational stories. In "The First Christmas Tree," Van Dyke presents a fictional story set in the 8th century. The narrative revolves around a monk named Winfried, later known as Saint Boniface, who is on a mission to convert the Germanic tribes to Christianity. During his travels, he comes across a sacred oak tree, worshipped by the local people as a symbol of their pagan beliefs. To demonstrate the power of Christianity and to emphasize the message of love and peace associated with Christmas, Winfried decides to cut down the sacred oak tree. As the tree falls, a young fir tree springs up from its roots. Winfried then uses the fir tree to symbolize the Christian faith, explaining how its evergreen nature represents the everlasting life found in Christ. The story is a creative blend of Christian symbolism and a charming holiday legend. It aims to convey a message of the transformative power of Christianity and the triumph of love and hope over darkness and superstition. Keep in mind that interpretations may vary, and this summary provides a general overview of the narrative.

He was subsequently elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters and received many other honors. Van Dyke was a friend of Helen Keller. Keller writes, "Dr. van Dyke is the kind of a friend to have when one is up against a difficult problem. He will take trouble, days and nights of trouble, if it is for somebody else or for some cause he is interested in. 'I'm not an optimist, ' says Dr. van Dyke, 'there's too much evil in the world and in me. Nor am I a pessimist; there is too much good in the world and in God. So I am just a meliorist, believing that He wills to make the world better, and trying to do my bit to help and wishing that it were more.'" He died on April 10, 1933. A biography of Van Dyke, titled Henry Van Dyke: A Biography, was written by his son Tertius van Dyke and published in 1935.

The Story of The Other Wise Man by Henry Van Dyke. The Story of the Other Wise Man is a short novel or long short story by Henry van Dyke. It was initially published in 1895 and has been reprinted many times since then. The story is an addition and expansion of the account of the Biblical Magi, recounted in the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. It tells about a "fourth" wise man (accepting the tradition that the Magi numbered three), a priest of the Magi named Artaban, one of the Medes from Persia. Like the other Magi, he sees signs in the heavens proclaiming that a King had been born among the Jews. Like them, he sets out to see the newborn ruler, carrying treasures to give as gifts to the child - a sapphire, a ruby, and a "pearl of great price". However, he stops along the way to help a dying man, which makes him late to meet with the caravan of the other three wise men. Because he missed the caravan, and he can't cross the desert with only a horse, he is forced to sell one of his treasures in order to buy the camels and supplies necessary for the trip. He then commences his journey but arrives in Bethlehem too late to see the child, whose parents have fled to Egypt. He saves the life of a child at the price of another of his treasures. He then travels to Egypt and to many other countries, searching for Jesus for many years and performing acts of charity along the way. After 33 years, Artaban is still a pilgrim, and a seeker after light. Artaban arrives in Jerusalem just in time for the crucifixion of Jesus. He spends his last treasure, the pearl, to ransom a young woman from being sold into slavery. He is then struck in the head by a falling roof tile and is about to die, having failed in his quest to find Jesus, but having done much good through charitable works. A voice tells him "Verily I say unto thee, Inasmuch as thou hast done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, thou hast done it unto me."(Matthew 25:40) He dies in a calm radiance of wonder and joy. His treasures were accepted, and the Other Wise Man found his King.
