The Immortal Story
The Birth of Jesus
And it came to pass in those days, that
there went out a decree from Caesar Au
gustus that all the world should be taxed.
(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.

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.

With peaceniks marching in Washington
der the banner of the Communist Viet Cong, and
with war raging in South Asia- not to speak of
other grave international problems — the coun
try has overlooked the revolutionary and de
structive effects of mass registration of Hliter-
ia States affected by the new fe
deral voter registration requirements, has pro
duced alarming evidence of the depth of ignor
ance among these new voters that the Johnson
administration has demanded be enrolled. 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. The CtvH
Rights Acts studded with restrictions designed
to intimidate citizens who question the right of a
person to vote. These restrictions will create un
precedented opportunities for fraud to next
