CHRISTMAS IN BETHLEHEM.
How the Anniversary of the Birth is Cele-
brated At the Birthplace.
(Chicago News.l

There is not one person in 10, 000 who
knows how the Christmas holiday is kept
in Bethlehem, the city most closely con-
nectsd with the day, Bethlehem OF this
time has 5000 Inhabitants and is not at
tractive in appearance, as the streets are
too narrow for vehicles. Only donkeys
and camels and foot passengers traverse
the narrow alleys. The town is but five
miles south Of Jerusalem.
There is splendid road between
Jerusalem and Bethlehem and the driv-
ers take one over the ground at furious
speed. Of course. the city is larger and
better built than in the time of Christ,
but otherwise has not changed very es-
sentially. The great Church of the
Nativity and some of the larger build
ings doubtless stood at 1.-The time of hi
birth. AT Christmas every one visits the
Field of the Shepherds, mile away from
the church, which is reputed to be the
place where the shepherds tended their
focks. Back at the pig church process
ion OF bishops, priests and people, forms
in the square before the edifice, each man
dressed in his most gorgeous robes.
Turkish soldiers line borh sides Of the
streets to clear the way for the process
sion. The Latin patriarch of Jerusalem
arrives, is met by the procession carrying
banners and immense candles and all 20
into ths Latin chapel through the main
entrance.
Inside the structure is very ancient,
some of it dating from the time of Con-
stantine. In the Latin chapel Of ST.
Catherine services are. held all night and
at midnight the patriarch of Jerusalem
says mass. The chapel is filed with peo-
pie sitting on the floor. Then the pro-
cession repairs to the Grotto of Nativity,
under the church. Originally this was
simply hnatural cave in limestone
rock-of course the original manager was
not preserved. Now marble slabs cover
the walls and floors and the tenfoot coil
ing Cal ries thirty two brass lamps. Many
religious pictures of poor execution hang
on the.walls and in the east end of the
cave is small recess hung about with
fifteen. lamps. On the floor of the recess
a bright silver star is set in and it is al
most worn away from the constant kiss
in / t recei yes.
Most of the worshippers remain in the
church oil night; occasionally some steal
out and are driven away home. The
clear moon makes the country as bright
as day. The Christmas day of Bethlehem
is without the good cheer and happiness
of our day, for the home life is so differ
ent. There is no feasting and giving of
presents, nothing but religious oere-
monies.
