The Immortal
Christmas comes each, year with the same
jrlad message for one and all. We are publish
ing the original immortal Christmas story of
shepherds on the hills and anjrels singiijg
taken from the Gospels of Luke and Mat
thew. Nothing approaching it in beauty has
been written or will ever be written for a
newspaper.
The Birth Of Jesus
And it came to pass in those days, that
there went out a decree from Caesar Augus
tus, that all the world should be taxed. (And
this taxing was first made when Cyrenius
was governor of Syria). And all went to be
taxed, every one into his own city. And
Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the j
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 lx* taxed with Mary his espoused wife, be- |
ing great with child. And so it was. that. '
while they were there, the days were accom
plished that she should l>e delivered. And she |
brought forth her first-born son, and wrap- 1
ped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in
a manger; because there was no room fori
them in the inn
The V«it Of The Shepherds
And there were in same country shep- ,
herds abiding in the field, keeping watch over
their fWk by night And. lo, the angel of the '
Ixird shoo*- round about them; and they were
sore afraid And the angel said unto them, J
Fear not; for. Iwhoid. 1 bring you good tid
ings of great joy, which ahall be to all people.
F<>r unto >ou is t*>m this day in the city of
David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this ahall be a sign unto you; Ye shall
find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes.
Iv.ng m a manger And suddenly there wa«
w.th the angel a multitude of the heavenly
host praieiog God. ami saying. Glory to God
in the highest, and on earth pease, good will
toward men And it came to pass, as the an
gels were gone away from them into heaven,
the shepherds said one to another. Let us
now go even unto Hethlehsn, and see this
thing wh.ib is come to pass, whten the LoriH
hath made known unto us. Ami the) cam* I
with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and
the tube King in a manger. And when they
had seen it. thev made known abroad the sav
ing which was told them concerning the child.
And all they that heard it wondered at those j
things which were told them by the shep
herds. Hut Mar> kept all these things, and
pondered them in her heart.
The Visit Of The Wise Men
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of 1
Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold,
there came wise men from the east to Jeru
salem. saying. Where is he that is bom King
of the Jews? for we have seen hia star in the
east, and are come to worship him. When
llerrHl the king heard these things, he was j
troubled and all Jerusalem with him. Ami <
when he had gathered all the chief priests and |
scribes of the people together, he demanded ;
of them where Christ should be bom. And
they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea; I
for thus it is written by the prophet. And
thou, Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, are not
the least among the princess of Juda; for out
of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule
my people Israel. Then Herod, when he had
privily called the wise men, inquired 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
when ye have found him, bring me word
again, that 1 may come and worship him also.
When they had heard the king, they departed
and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east,
went before them, till it came and stood over
where the young child was.
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,
th y presented unto him
frankincense, and mvrrh.
gifts; gold, an
The Flight Into Egypt
And when they were departed, behold, the
angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a
dream, saying. Arise, and take the young
child and his mother, and flee into Egypt,
and t>e thou there until I bring thee word:
for Herod will seek the young child to destroy
h ; m. 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. Out of
Egypt have I called my son.

I know cases, too, where young married couples

really deserve help Education is not something to be
handed out on a silver platter to everybody and his
brother. This cheapens the whole process, as well as
hurts the man. Education, to be effective, is some
thing to be worked for and earned. I am afraid our
colleges parents, and even the banks, which are no.v
becoming involved in federal loans to students, may
be doing real harm. I am glad to say that the Babson
Institute, Webber College, and Midwest Institute are
trying to train young men and women for survival in
tomorrow’s struggle for a free and competitive econ
