I like to relate it each year on Christmas Eve. Most of the best known Christmas stories center around Christmas Eve rather than Christmas Day. There is something incomparably sweet and pathetic about the re cital of those events on that first Chris: mas Eve when the tired and travel-worn couple entered the lit tle town of Bethlehem after a long and tiresome journey, and tried to find shelter for the night. I have read many stories of the happenings of this eventful night, some denouncing the Bethlehem inn-keeper, others praising him. The story which appeals to me most, except The one in SL Luke’s gospel, is found in Henry Van Dyke’s little book, "Even Unto Bethlehem," in which he has gath ered from unnamed sources, or perhaps from his fertile imagina tion, some additional details. HLs story introduces Elizabeth, the wife of the priest Zacharias, the mother of John the Baptist. She was an old er cousin of Mary, who had shared J with her the prenatal announce ment of the wonderful Child who 1 was to be born of her. Elizabeth, only recently a mo ther, in full sympathy with her younger cousin's condition, has come to Bethlehem to await their arrival. The little village is crowd ed with those who have returned to register for the government tax listing. She finds the worried travel ers at the inn where there is no room, and hurriedly takes charge of the situation No stranger in Bethlehem, she has friends and acquaintances there. Not knowing the exact time of their arrival, she had not been able to make reserva tions, and the town is full. But she does know where there is a clean, dry stable. Here they can find ref uge for the night. She is sure she will be able to find better quarters for them on the morrow. Providence has a way of over ruling the best laid plans of men, turning their mistakes to fit the greater Divine plan. The hour had struck for the advent into the world of the Deliverer. With the. kindly j help of Elizabeth, the Lord of Man- . kind is ushered into this world amid i the humblest surroundings. Mother \ and child were moved the next day into the more comfortable quarters of a Bethlehem home, but the'birth had taken place in a stable with the companionship of the meek ox and the lowly ass, the animal on which He rode to His Coronation on Palm Sunday. None may ever say that he has had more humble sur roundings at birth. Before the Holy Family left the stable shelter, humble men, the shepherds, came to give their best, their adoration. Later came repre- sentataves of the world’s great and wise with (heir costly gifts, and the ABOUT VGUe Mf ART 1 Q. I smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. Could this cause heart trou ble? A. Evidence seems to be increas ing that there is some connection between smoking and heart disease. For persons with heart disease, smoking is a hazard as it constricts blood vessels causing the heart to work more vigorously in order to pump blood. Some individuals are especially sensitive to tobacco and where smoking causes a marked increase in the pulse rate! it should probably be discontinued before heart disease develops.

Barriers have a way of breaking down in the presence of Christ.
