And he arose, and took th? young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.

Athletes a ND it came to pass in those days, that there,went out a de- cree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be ^ ^taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syfia). And all went to be taxedy every one into hia~ own city. And Joseph also went^up from GaW out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David) to be tnxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accom plished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger; 1)ecause there was no room for them in the inn.

Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidihgs of great joy, which shall be to (a 'all people. Foi^unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which, is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall r^^nd the Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. Ahd suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenljr host prais ing God, and saying, ^ Glory to God in the highest, and orr earth peace, good-will toward men. The Visit of the Shepherds ” And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from th^ into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehern, and see. this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. AritTlhey came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. 'And when they had seen |t, they made know|i abroad the saying which was told them concerning-this Child. And all they thaL heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. Bu^^Mary kept all these things, and pon dered them in heY heart. And the shepherds returned, glorify ing and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto theim The fellow who donwted thie rab bit foot to me ho had plenty of rain on his farm last year; he got hU notes renewed in November with interest added; he -hasn’t had a bad cold in 7 years, since he got the foots; his uncle\dled bast year and left enough money to bury him with and then—there were bther nice things that happened to him.

Dec. 9, 1936.--31-4C. tmm The Visit of the Wise Men Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the' East to Jerusalem, saying. Where is He that is born King of the Jews? For we have .seen His _star in the East, and are come to worship Him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered ‘ all the chief priests ahd scribes of the* people together, he de- ’ manded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written by the . prophet. And thou • Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. Then Herod, when he had pnvily called tbe wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said. Go and search diligently for the young Child; and and worship Him also. When they had heard the king, they de parted; and, lo, the star, which the^-^^in the East, went be- : " fore .till it eaine and stood:ov^r jsrheiseatiic^roiinR Child was- »When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding j;reat joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down, and worshipped Him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold, and frankincense, ahd myrrh. And being / warned of God in a dream that they sl^ld not return to Herod, / they departed into their own country an,other way. { Now,/listen, you Rubes: if you don’t like the way I am living and acting and talking, why, you -can Tump it.
