The city of David is but small place
and cannot accommodate the crowds
Perhaps they return again the next
day, for the Christmas services last a
week.
The tourist from America touches ell
bows with the Russian landlord from
the Volga or the Monteneerin. with his
belt filed with ancient pistols and dag
gers. Turkish soldiers keep guard with
perfect good humor and with indiffer-
ence which perhaps shocks the sensi-
bility of Christians.
The day before Christmas is a scene
of excitement in Bethlehem. The pill
grims have begun to arrive along the
five miles of dusty or muddy road that
leads up from Jerusalem. At first a
few scattered groups. some of whom
have been weeks, perhaps months, on
the road, make their appearance. They
repair to quarters in the hotels or con
vents or mora likely put up their tents.
Soon the highway is crowded with all
sorts Of vehicles bearing tourists and
the well to do who have money to
spend in sightseeing. Thousands are
strung along the side paths on foot
while others come on camels, horses
and asses.
Where they all expect to be accom-
modated is a question that might well
puzzle an observer were it not explain
ed that. the distance being so short,
majority of them return to Jerusalem
the same day. Soon every available
space in he city is dotted with tents,
each capable of accommodating two
travellers. From within come the chat
ter of conversation in varied tongues
and the odor of cooking. Some pill
grims, who have presumably come only
a short distance, bring beds, tables.
chairs and even carpets for tent use,
and parties of Europeans and Ameri-
cans from Jerusalem who have come
up to David's city to spend Christmas
usually bring wagon loads of baggage

life if they have not had the forethOught

The Church of the Nativity is the
goal of all these pilgrims. Certainly
this is the most interesting place in
Holy Land There all the divergent
Christian factions meet at common
source, and there they learn tolerance
of and respect for each other.
The Emperor Hadrian in the course
of the second century is said to have
surrounded the place where stood the
stable of the nativity with a wood sa-
cred to Adonis and even had the wor-
