the young Child’s life. And he arose, and took th? young Child
and His mother, and came into the land of Israel. But when he
heard that Archelaus did feign in Ji|dea in the room of his father
Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being
warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Gali>
lee: And he came and dwelt in a city called Naweth: that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken by the pfqphets, He shall

I am all set now for better things.
A friend of mine gave me a rabbit
foot a week or so ago. He had ^2
rabbit foots. In fact, so ihe said, the
rabbit which they were clipped off
of had 4 rabbit foots, but only the
front foots are protection agkinst bad
luck.

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.

The Visit of wie Angels
And there w^re in the same country shepherds abiding in the
field, keeping watch over their flock bJ^ night. And, lo, the angel
of the Lord came upon them, and the glory, of the Lord shone
round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel
said unto them. 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

This rabbit foot came into my
possession atf the crucial moment.. I
havjD several crows to pick with cer
tain gentlemen (?), and it will be
a consolation to know that they can’t
harm me. I have a rich uncle in
Texas also. He wasn’t feeling very
well when he wrote last. Our fam
ily is his only relatives. I won’t
have any more frozen radiators or
busted fenders from now on. In
fact, my troubles are over at, the
house, office, jand on the highways.
The rabbit from wthich my foot
was removed was caught in the cen
ter of a 10-acre graveyard while
he was asleep on the grave of a
gfreat and faiflous army officer. .The
jcatching took place at exactly mid
night; no moon, no stars, but with
the wind coming from the west. He
was not killed till a spell had been
cast over him to make his foots
lucky.

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. If you want to take

Th^light Into Egypt
And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord
appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying. Arise, and take the ^ verry't«i
young Child and His mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thW^not mu7h
there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young
Child to destroy Him. When he arose, he took the young Child
and His mother by night, and departed into Egypt: and was
there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have
I called my Son. Then Herod,'when he saw that he was mocked
by the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew
all the children that wer?'in Bethlehem, ajid in all the coasts
thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time
^ich he had diligently enquired of the wise men. Then was ful
filled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying. In
CAFE
Rama was voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and
. mourning Richel weeping for her children, and would not
MmfiM^luisp they are not. But when Herod was dead,
angfBl of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in
the young Child and His mother.
