ing three pieces together. The boys offered
to do that part, and were kept out of mis-

wandered into the pantry, looking for that
nice ball Of string in the righthand corner
Of the lefthand lower drawer.
at was a nice ball, made up of every
conceivable sort OF Irvine from tinsel cord
of candy boxes to lightweight rope, all
carefully tied together. I weeded out the
~stoutest Irvine and knotted It to the best
Of my ability.
ION my return to the library I found the
boys sitting on the seams of the paper so
as to press 'em. Teddy was so delighted
with the success OF the scheme that he
beat a tattoo with his heels and a hole
through the paper.
81 said we'd better let the question OF
paper go until the box was packed and
roped. By this time my wife had laid out
all the packages. each one tied with rib
bon, and insinuated that It was time that
I got down to business. For variety and
clumsiness commend me to that collection
Of Christmas gifts, and every other one,
according to my wife's statement, was
~breakable.

vince her hat each ~breakable object would
have to be packed separately in a small
box OF its own in cotton batting. Item:
Dabs OF cotton all over my smoking Jacket.
"Just as I got the package decently bal
anced she dived under the table and
brought forth a forgotten treasure, a mis-
cradle Jack-in-the-box, which lowered
three good inches above every other gift.
II was no use to balk. She had picked II
up at a bargain at the Decent store and to
Seattle II had to go. l repacked the whole
blooming outfit and roped 1t.
Then we harked back to the paper prob
lem. with best intentions she had pasted
a patch over the hole left by Teddy's ex-
uberent heels and the sheet looked like a
crazy patchwork quilt. With the first
folding Of the stun every seam ripped.
"a timely inspiration saved the day. OF
rather, the evening. Hal remembered that

sold big sheets Of wrapping paper to the
boys to cover their school books with. He

which fact Jacob made a great we'll or
ciBtern In SamBria to catch the rains and
melting SHOWS from Mount Gerizim. which
we'll still bears the name OF this illustrious
old patriarch. This is the we'll from which
David so much craved a drink when cut OF
from It oy the Philllstlnes. There is no
place like home and no water is quite SO
sweet as that which comes from the old
home well, over which hung "the old oaken
bucket. the iron bound bucket" Three
OF David's bravest men broke through the
ranks OF the enemy and brought their king
a drink from this we'll, but this act so
touched the heart OF David with a sense of
gratitude and unworthiness that he did not
feel he could drink the water at 80 great
a cost.
Now rises before our admiring and ador-
ing gaze the justly famous village OF
Bethlehem. so old, so historic and SO sacred.
Growing the summit OF two knobs and
nesting among the terraced vineyards, the
olive and orange groves, %shrubbery and
flowers, one can hardly wonder that Bet'le-
hem has been called the perfection Of
beauty" AS a bird builds its nest among
the Ivy vines under the leaves Of a house,
so Bethlehem nestles among the hills and
vines and trees and flowers. It is a long

cities of Palestine. There are about 500
square shaped houses In the city Of Bethle-

charming is some Of the scenery around
this place. There is no more beautiful
natural scenery on earth than some por-
lions OF the Holy Land.
The graceful and. beautiful woman of
Bethlehem have become proverbial for their
good looks, a fact which has ever attracted
the attention Of nearly all tourists there.
This is a Christian city, In which, 1t is said,
not a Jew or. Mohammedan resides. The
only other town in Palestine which is
really Christian is Nazareth. though It is

is no telling how much Greece, whose people
were SO handsome and whose philosophy
In some particulars so nearly approached
the truth, as found in our scriptures-espe-
clally as IL relates to the incarnation-bor-
rowed from the Hebrews, or unconsciously
absorbed from them, to affect not only
their ideas, but their physical appearance.
The women OF Christian countries are not
only indebted TO Christianity for their So
cial standing and most Of their comforts
and ~erjoyments. but for their physical
beauty and Intellectual attractions as we'll.
In all this, and In other higher ways,
woman owes a debt OF gratitude to the
Christian religion-to Him who was born
at Bethlehem-which she never can repay.
But how tame Is all the natural scenery
about Bethlehem as we'll as the physical
beauty OF its people as compared with its
wonderful history. 1t was here Jerome, tho
father OF church history, lived. wrote and
died. and his old grotto home is still
pointed out to the tourist. 1t was near
here where, by the decree Of Herod the
Great, the male infants were slain in order
TO reach Christ, and nip his kingdom In
the bud, and thus do away with any posi-
BILE rivals to Herold's own crown. Here
lived Boaz, the great grandfather Of David,
and ancestor OF Jesus Christ, and here was
born David, the son Of Jessie, sweet singer
OF Israel.
Above all, here was born the King Of
Kings and Lord OF Lords. Here the incar-
nation appeared among men. Growing the
place Of our Lords birth is the Church of
the Nativity, said to have been built by
direction Of st. Helena, mother OF Con-
stantlne the Great and is the Oldest
Christian church on earth. Today, in as
many separate parts Of this church. worship
the Latin, Greek and Armenian Christians.
Here is pointed out the reputed site OF the
manger in which Jesus was born. A silver
star marks the place, and over which is the
inscription, Here Jesus Christ was born Of
the Virgin Mary" Tongue has no word,
