This. story covers an interesting period,
trial and death of Christ. There are two
scenes in which the Saviour figures, as he
- being led 10 execution, and the effect his
presence produces ON the two chief per.
sonages OF the story is graphically described.
The hero, AristaTchus, Is Roman noble
been doomed to death by order of Augustus
Caesar, whom he had Enthusiastically Of
Tended. On his last night ON earth, while
Petronius was looking from the roof of his
: palace, he witnessed strange light in the
slowly disappeared IN is course towards ards
Syria.
: While he was still gazing at it, slave ap-
J proaches and announces TO him the birth of
son. The Roman marvels, and at once as
~s tie hs I TSnS Of II. in the ss
{ course, was the star of Bethlehem, pro-
claiming the birth of Christ, whose Influence
over Petronius' son makes up the main in
cidents Of the story. That night Petronius
dies by his own hand to avoid the ignomin-
) ious death planned for him by Augustus.
.Aristarchus, grown to manhood, becomes
disguised with the materialism and vapid
luxury of Rome, and is, moreover, involved
in quarrel with Tiberius during one of the
! latter's drunken orgies. He flies Rome, and
turns Eastward in his. course. There he
.
rene" whom he forwith desires to see. His
wish is granted by a sight of Jesus as he is
being led to execution. The effect upon the
Roman is intense; its revolutionizes his
whole life.
The horoine, Bethsaida, who gives name
to the story, is maiden Of humble birth, but
Of strange character and commanding beau
~. Her father has trained her to be q dane
ing girl at the court of Plate. She, too, sees
, Christ as he is being led TO death, and the
effect wrought causes her to plan fight
Chance brings about meeting between her
and Aristarchus, and their mutual expe-
riences in the encounter with Christ form
bond between the strangely assorted pair,
whose training and environment had been
30 foreign to one another.
The alternate bursts of tyranny and kindli-
ness that distinguish Plate, whose love for
his wife, Claudia, despite his infdelity to
her, is his one saving trait, make an engag-
ing study. Claudia herself will, doubtless,
appeal to many readers as the most loyeable
sympathy and devotion are well depicted.
The tone of the book is that of unquestion-
ing belief in the miraculous birth and mis-
sion of Christ.
