Astronomers have discounted pos sibilities that the star may have been a natural phenomenon since such phenomena occur too far from the earth to serve as any sort of local guide. Modern opinion is, how ever, inclined to hold that there was a Star — although the story prob ably has been touched by Oriental imagery. St. Matthew suggests that even the Wise Men may have lost sight of the star while they were in Je rusalem; hence, they rejoiced when It reappeared to their vision as they approached the Manger of Bethlehem. Come to think of it, .astronomers have sought an astronomically au thentic star — and found it not; historians have sought an historic ally human Jesus of Nazareth —and are still arguing whether or not they have found Him; even zealous theologians, striving to harmonize messianic and eschato logical theories with the illusive historical and human Jesus, have sometimes lost sight of the Babe in the Manger Who from His lowly \ stable draws unto Himself all who are weary and heavy-laden. pressing close to that sacred Manger, Christendom glimpses the Star of Bethlehem once more and rejoices in the light of righteous ness and peace which' has con quered every tyranny that evil men could think of, the light that; shineth in the darkness and shall j not fail. •i i SUNDAY MONDAY DEC. 25-26 YOU GOTTA STAY HAPPY With James Stewart ani Joan Foatain TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY ^ DEC. 27-28 ROGUES REGIMENT With Dick Powell aari Marta Joren ALSO SELECTED SHORT SUBJECTS t- .

Such “heav- i ens” consist of a cord framework covered with straw and different \ colors of paoer ribbon, etc., and di'corr.ted with paper stars and silhouettes cut in various designs. The effect, when reflecting the fire light and the raddles’ glow, is mys terious and fascinating. Candles are used nrofusely in the churches; the alters are banked and the windows are filled with them, so that in the ore-dawn dark ness (Christmas morn ; ng services benn at 0 A.M.) the churches hec'on a’-proaching worshippers bril' ant lanterns. After the early church services, the gayly decorated sleds race for home, bright robes flying and sleigh bells a-jinglihg. Breakfast ia i festive, and then everyone takes a long nap. Christmas Dsfly Is not de voted to play or gift-giving; it is , religiously observed, with intervals < > 1 of cai<ol singing and Bible readings. * The day after Christmas is St. Stephen’s day, and from then until I New Year’s parties and general j festivity are in order. Although gift-giving is not an integral part o# the observances, in some parts of Finland trinkets and useful gifts of wearing apparel are presented to children by Wainamoinen, the oj Kalevala herq of Finnish legend. Read The Chronicle-Your Neighbor Does Legend relates that the crown of thorns which was placed on the head of Jesus was made of holly and that before the crucifixion the berries were white, but turned crimson Uke drops of blood.
