(And this taxing; was first ma<le when Cyrenius was first jfovernor of .Syria). And a'l went to be taxed, every one into his (rwn city. And .1 t»sej»h also went up from Galilee, out of tihe city of .Nazareth, into .ludea, unt4i thi* city of David, which is ralbsl Bethlehem, (iKTausi- he was of the house ami lineaKe of David) to be taxed with .Mary his esf)ous<‘4| wif**, beiriK kfii-at with child. .\nd so it was, that, while th«y wer«' then-, th»- day- were accomplishtsl that she ab<njld be d«'liv»‘n*<l. .And sh<* broujcht forth her first born Son, and wrap]>t‘it Him in swaddiinx clothes, and laid Him in a maiit(«-r; iN'cause there was no riMim for th«*m in the. inn. • An»i tht-ie were in the same country sh«*ph«*nis ubid- inif’ III the field, keeping watch over thidr flock by nifrbl. .\ntl. b>, the anirel of tin- L<ir<l cam** upon them, arid the iTiory of the Ijoi«I shone nuind aliout them: arMi rhs*y were soi** afraid. .And th«‘ anjfel said unto thi in.

Kt'vpinR ('hristma.s Henry Van Dyke, From “The S^iii it of ('hristmas" It Is a yoinl tinny to observe Christmas day. The mere maikiny of tiim-s and seasons, when men.ayroe to stop w’ork and make merry toyether, is a wise and wbole.some custom. It help.s one to fr-el the supremacy of the coinmoh life over the indivitiual life. It reminds a man to set his own little wTitch, now ami then, by the jftx-al cbK-k of luimanity wfik-h mns on sun time. Bui there is a belter thiny than the oiisprvance of OiristTnas day, and that is, keepiny Chrii^tmas. Are you wHliny to foryet what yini have done for otik-r people, and to rememher what other people have Ambc for Ufou; to ignore what the worbi owes you, and to think what you owe the world; to put your rights in ’the background, and your duties in the middle dis. taace, and your chances to a little more than your duty m the foreground; to see that your fellowmen are just mm real as you are, and try to look behind their faces to their hearts, hungry for joy; to own that prohahly the only good reason for your existence is not what you are going to get out of-life, but what you are go ing to give to life; to close your book of complaints against Che management of the universe, and look around you for a place where you can sow a few seeds of happincaa—are you willing to do these things even for a day? Then you can keep ChriaCmas. Are you wiHing to stoop down and consider the needs and the desires of little children; to remember the weakness and loneliness of people who are growing old; to stop asking how much your friends love yxMi, and ask yourself whether j’ou love them enough; to bear in mind the things that other iieople have to bear on their hearts; to try to understand what those who live in the same house with you really w-ant, without wait ing for them to i«*il you; to trim your lamf) so that it will give more light ami les.s .wioke; and to carry it in front so that your shadow will fall behind you; to make a grave fur your ugly thought.s, and a ganlen for your kindly feeling-, with the gate open---are you willing t«i do thr-se th.ngs even for a <lay? Then you can keep ('•hristmas. . ' .Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest thing in the world—stronger than hate, stronger than evH, stronger than death — ami that the blessed life which began in Bethlehem i,900 years ago is the image of brightness of the Eternal I»ve? Then you can kbipp ChrisCma.-. And if you ke<*p it for a day, why not alwa>'s ? - Jtiit tJ-ou* can never kee;) it alone. Jesus Christ Thou shall love the- I.,ord thy Go<l with all thy heart, ami with aK thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is th«- first and greate.st comman4lment. .Ami the -ecomi is like unto it. Thou shall b»ve thy neighbor as thyself. On these twu cvunmamlme'nts hung all the law and th«‘ prouhets. Joanna News GoldviHe. Dec.
