(And this taxing waa first made when Cy* renius was governor of Syria). And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Gali lee, out of the 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 be taxed with Mary his espoused wife being great with child. And so it was, that while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger;" because there was no room for them in the inn. *0 The Visit of Hie Shepherds And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night And, lo, the angel of the Lord shone around about them; and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them. Fear not; for be hold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord, and this shall be a sign unto you; Te shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in the manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, let us now go even unto Beth lehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us. And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which waa told them concerning the child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shep herds. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Die Visit of Hie Wise Men Now when Jesus waa born in Bethle hem of Judea in the days of Herod the King, behold there came wise men from the east, to Jerusalem, saying, where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod, the Mug heard these things he was troubled and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demand ed of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, in Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it is written by the proph et* and thou, Bethlehem, in the land of Ju dea, are not the least among the princes of Judea; fer out of thee shall come a Govern or, that shafl rule my people Israel. Then Herod* when he had privily called the iHse man* inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said* ge and starch dili gently for the young child; and when yn have found Urn, bring me word again, that I may come aad worship him also. When thay had heard the Ung* they departed and* lo, the ster, which they saw in the east* before them, till it came and steed over grhers the young child wee. Add when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, they fell down, and worship ped him; and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The Flight Into Egypt And when they were departed, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take file young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: For Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he aroee, 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. ILLITERATES AT THE POLLS By THURMOND SENSING Happy Christinas Day birth- and funeral of the fanner’s broth' er-in-law, Wiley W. Moos Mrs. W. L. Motte. bers and Rev.

News stories and polls tells us that la many cases the majority of registrants don’t know the name of the Congressman in their own district or even who is President of the United States. They don’t know why they are registering or what is decided in an election. Many of these illiterates have been told by the political organisations that herd them to registration offices that if they don’t re gister they will lose their social security csrds. Others fear that they will be called on in church to bold up their registration certificates, and cri ticized if they don’t possess such certificates. The tragic effects of the enrollment of the east qualified group of people in the United States will have a terrible effect on government al processes to this country. But the influence of the illiterate will extend beyond the voting booth. For one thing, juries are drawn from the lists of registered voters. What educated, respectable citizen, with an important matter respecting one’s freedom of property before a court, would want to be tried by a jury containing illiterates? Indeed perhaps when these illiterates are assign ed to jury duty, those who are before the bar of justice or engaged in litigation should call is question the competence of courts in which the juries contain illiterates. Traditionally, an Amer ican has been entitled to trial by ”his peers,” as the saying goes. It is hard to accept the idea that an illiterate paeon, incapable of reading court documents offered as evidence, is the peer of a literate citizen, and every legal effort should be made to demand a trial in which the jurors are literate. In short, educated Americans have lo fight back against the tafuence of illiterates.
