THE CLINTON CHRONICLE
Thursday, December 18, 1952
The Christmas season starts with
us about the first of December and
is at flood tide by the tenth, the
ladies on a tireless hunt for ap
propriate gifts at the most appro
priate prices. The little fellows
will hear the old story of the Shep
herds and the manger, the Wise
men and the Star, the Mother Mary
and the baby who was to be the
Prince of Peace, the Redeemer,
' the way, the truth and the life.”
We think of the Holy Land—
Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Nazareth,
'Capernaum, the Sea of Gallilee,
the Jordan River—'because of asso
ciation with the Son of God and
His earthly ministry' of teaching,
healing, and Salvation.
Again, on Christmas Eve, Chris-
tians make pilgrimage to the little
town of Bethlehem, in the land of

DR. R. C. BOLEN
CHIROPRACTIC FOR
NERVOUSNESS
Few people realize the tor
tures endured by the person
who is extremely nervous. Tho
weakness and inability to re
lax often experienced by those
who are nervous gives rise to
a feeling of frustration. While
the use of drugs often offers
some measure of relief it is
much better to have the basic
cause corrected so that the
condition will clear up com
pletely.
The results obtained by Chi
ropractic offer a most excel
lent means of getting well of
extreme nervousness and re
maining well.

27. Entrance complaints: ex
treme!" nervousness, crying

ed readily over a period of sev
eral months. Conclusion: Re
sults good, rests well, nervous
ness cleared, marked increase
in vitality. Subsequent check
three years later showed con
tinued good health and vital

Ruth and Rachel, of Isaac and Ish-
mael, of David and Solomon. For
nearly 2,000 years it has been rev
ered as the birthplace of Jesus.
It is only five miles from tne
shiny star which marks the tradi
tional site of the Christ Child’s
birth to Calvary. A scant five
miles—yet they mark the span of
the Saviour’s life.
Since Old Testament times—/or
the tomb of Rachel lies beside this
historic highway—the short road
between Jesus’ place of birth and
the scene of His agony has run
like a white ribbon along the rough
backbone of Judaea.
But, just before Christmas, good
: will to men triumphs over nundane
j barriers. Iben church dignitaries,
diplomats, and officials from Israel
cross no man’s land, less than a
third of a mile wide at this point,
i to visit the scene of the first
Christmas and there celebrate the
birthday of our Lord.
| Those who go to Bethlehem fr^mj
the walled city, in the Jordan-con-J
trolled part of divided Jerusalem.;
I travel over a long new road which
i writhes like a pale serpent through
the wilderness, without touching
Israel. From a spur of the Mount [
-of Olives this route looks down on|
1 the majestic expanse of time-tint- j
ed walls which make Jerusalem j
‘the Golden’..
As it approaches Bethlehem,
near the fields where shepherds
watched their flocks by night, the
road affords the finest ( possible
’ vtew r or the city of “the"' Nativity:
From here, Bethlehem is a dream
i city of shining stone houses, set
on a high Judaean hill.
Bethlehem is largely Christian,
and much of its commerce has de
pended on pilgrims.
Like Bethlehem in Jordan, Naz
areth in Israel attracts many Chris
tian pilgrims The city of Jesus’
boyhood is largely a Christian
Arab city patrolled by Christian
police.
I went to the synagogue where
Jesus amazed His fellow townsmen
into crying. "Whence hath this
man this w’isdom .... Is not this
the carpenter’s son?’ (Matthew
13:54-55).
As Jesus then said, ‘A prophet is
not without honour, save in his
own country.’ Forgetting Christ
was of the House of David, a
bright-eyed. Jewess in our—party
asked; ‘What was Jesus doing in
a synagogue?’ .. .T"
So conflicting currents of
thought, confuse one in the land of
three faiths. But to one of any
faith, the Holy Land is still holy.
Here Jew, Christian and Moslem
have the geographical- setting- for
their belief.
Since the first Christmas Day,
Christian teachings have circled
the earth, far beyond the small
area Jesus knew’. Actually, few
carpenter’s sons in the Holy Land
wander as far as He.
But even if one includes the Egypt
to whiclv His parents fled in fear,
and the indeterminate spot on the
Syro-Phoenician coast which
I marked His northernmost ministry,!
the area known to Christ was a
j mere fraction of Bible Lands and
- only a link patch on the map of
| the world that now knows His
■ name.
I The traditional site of the Gar
den of Eden., in Mesopotania, is far
. away. So are the mountains of
Iran, known to Esther and Mor-
i decai. Mount Ararat, where Noah’s
Ark found harbor on a 16,946 foot
mountain top, looks into Russia
from Turkey.
By land and sea, St. Paul travel
ed as far as Malta and Rome. It
was in Antioch, near Muaz Dag,
that men were first called Chis-
tians. The very word ‘Bible’ comes
from Byblos (now Jubeil, in
Lebanon), for papyrus gathered
near that Phoenician port was the
material on which the Word was
recorded.
It has been hard for pilgrims j
to adjust themselvs to the realiza
tion of their dreams. Even amid
the gnarled old olive trees in the
Garden of Gethsemiane (meaning
Oil Press), the hum of motors on
the Jericho road or the chatter of
visitors thanking the guardian for
tiny cards bearing olive leaves
from the Garden may disturb one’s
contemplation.
Moses, Jesus, and Mdhammdd
grerw up in a hard, inhospitable
land which could not daunt their
faiUh. Around the world, Jfekvs,
Christians, and Moslems have car
ried their dreams of a Holy Land.
As Christmas time draws near, the
age-old dream is renewed. Little
children know the story. How
mighty Augustus taxed this stub
born Land. How honest, fearful
citizens of David’s city crowded in
to Bethlehem.- How a weary moth
er laid her infant in a manger be
cause they had no bed. Actually,
Joseph and Mary were far more
fortunate than those who had beds
but could not sleep. For them,
Christmas was only tax day.
The first angelic Christmas car
ol has burst the bounds of Bible
Lands, to circle the earth, for it
finds response in the hearts of
men:
‘Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men’. To men the world around,
this heavenly song, this deathless
dream, make tiny Palestine the
Holy Land.” (I have quoted from
the National Geopraphic Maga
zine.)

Truman Should

Korea—Graham
TOKYO, Dec. 13—Evangelist Billj
Graham told a news conference Sat
urday that if President Truman and
Secretary of State Dean Acheion
"had come over and spent some
time, we might have solved this
Korean thing 18 months ago.”
He also told the conference that
missionaries in the Far East "still
idolize” Gen. MacArthur, who once
headed the U. S. Far East Command.
Graham said he would leave for
Korea tomorrow for a two-week
tour of U. N. war front positions.
"I want to go from bunker to
bunker,” he said.
"On Christmas Day I am plan
ning a service just as near to the
front as I am allowed to go.”
He also hopes to see Gen. James
A. Van Fleet, commander of the U.
S. Eighth Army, and President Sjmg-
man Rhee of the Republic of Korea.
