FESTIVAL OF THE NATIVITY.
Was Observed at Very Early Time In
History Of Church.

The festival of Christmas was OBJ.
served at a very early period in the
church, as indeed 1t could hardly but
be; for that which brought the Joy of
angels within reach of mems ears
could not but have been devoutly and
joyously remembered by Christians.
year by year, when they came fully to
understand the greatness of the event
1t is most fit that the season so marked
out by angels by songs of joy, such as
had not been heard on earth since the
creation, should also be Observed as
time of festive gladness by the church,
and In the social life of Christians
Christ Himself instituted this festival
when He sanctified the day by then
first revealing His human nature to
the eyes OF mankind. The holy angels
witnessed to It's sepasation forever rs
a day of days, when they proclaimed
the glory that was then offered to God
In the highest by the restoration of
perfect manhood in the virgin born
Jesus, and the peace that was brought
among men on earth through the re-.
union OF their nature to God. ~
1t is to the nativity of our Lord that
all the pages of the Bible point as the
center on which everything there re.
corded turns.

A mysterious charm seems to hang
over the town as one looks at IL from
this point and reflects that this Is

lived, and where. Christ the son of
God was born What feeling of 10y

announced to them the glad tidings
of the Savior's birth. Leaving the
roadside and crossing over TO "the

the peaceful valley and beholds sheep
feeding there upon the grassy slopes
and youthful shepherds still watching
their flocks as the shepherds did In
the time OF Christ.
Near the field OF the shepherds Is

OF BILLIONS IN VALUE
ANNUAL PRODUCTION OF MANU-.
FACTUREs IN AMERICA.
Report of Bureau Chief Carson Shows
Increase Of Nearly $2o,ooo,00o In
Exports Of Finished Goods
Better Transit Facilities.

ashington.-Fifteen billions of dol
lars, represent the value Of the annual
production of manufactures in the
United States. After careful estimates
we're made by experts, Col. John M.
Carson, chief of the bureau of manu-
features, was able to make this state
ment in the annual report Of the opera
tions of his bureau. The figures do
not represent finished products en-
tirely, but include products in various
stages Of progress.
Last year the aggregate value of
domestic merchandise exported was
$1,S54, 100000, an increase of nearly
$136, 100000 over the preceding year.
In this classification manufactures
ready for consumption" are credited
with $4S0,000,000, and these figures
are generally accepted as the extent
of the exports of manufactures.
The report of the bureau, however,
groups this classification with those
of "foodstuffs partly or wholly manu-.
factured," and manufactures for
further use in manufacturing. the ag-
gregate exports of which last year
were $G06,000,000, and this amount,
added to manufactures ready for
consumption" makes the aggregate
value of manufactures exported in the
year ended June 80. $1.0S6, 600, 900, or
more than 5S per- cent. of the entire
exports for that year.
Special significance is attached to
the increase of nearly S20,000.000 In
the exports of completed manufac.
lures, in view Of the fact that the
exports of cotton cloths declined more
than $21,000,000, this loss being en-
tirely in the cotton trade with China.
The cotton seed product exports for
the year were upwards of $40.5o0 900.
and increase of $9,50O,0OO over 1906.
One OF the obstacles to the enlarge.
ment of export trade is the uncer-
tainty Of transit between places CT
production and the seaboard. ,Mer.
chants in the orient, especially, com.
plain that calculation cannot be made
as to when goods ordered in the
United States will be delivered, and, In
consequence, orders go to European
houses that should come to those of
this country.
The bureau has been in CORE
spondence with managers of railway
and ocean steamship companies with
a view to securing more reliable and
rapid transit for merchandise destined
to foreign countries.
Demands made by business men for
the extension OF the parcels post to
foreign countries is demanded. 1t is
claimed that this extension would
open markets now closed to American
business men for lack of transporta
tion facilities, but which are open to
their competitors who have advan
tages OF the parcels post system.

Tie Gaze in the Rock.

Passing through the narrow streets
we finally come to the church Of the
Nativity.
II was here that the inn stood where
Mary and Joseph, footsore and weary,
after their long journey, sought for
lodgings but there was no room for
them" They were obliged to seek else
where for some resting place. The
chalk-hills of Judea are honey-combed
with innumerable caves. One of these
excavations, close by the inn, was
used as p shelter for such beasts as
the stables of the inn could not ac-
commodate. Mary and Joseph were
Here, amid the straw which served as
bedding for the beasts, far from all
assistance, or a cold winters night,
Mary, the virgin mother, gave birth to
the infant Savior
This cave is established beyond all
doubt as the place where Christ was
born. From the earliest times Chris.
tians have always kept SACRED this
particular spot. St. Justin, martyr
born in Palestine about 100 years af.
ter Christ, speaks of this cave, and the
pagan philosopher CELSIUS, writing A.
ID. $50, also knew of it. The emperor
Hadrian, about 1877 A. d., in order to
keep the Christians away from It,
erected a statue of Adonis there and
established idol worship in the cavern.
The emperor Constantine removed
the idol and erected over the cave
church about $50 A. ID. At different
periods since then the church has
been rebuilt, enlarged and renovated,
until we find the present structure,
with its different sections belonging
to the Latin, Greek and Armenian
rites. The courtyard leading to the
church is paved with large square
stones and on the side are the ruins of
old columns where the former atrium
of thet basilica stood This court
yard is frequently used as a market
place where the natives gather to sell
their wares.

Looks Like Fortress.

The outside Of the church looks like
a fortress with its high stone walls.
A little door leads into the church
which is divided into three sections,
belonging TO the Latins, Greeks and
,rmenians. The first section of the
Church is the Greek Basillca. Here
Two rows of marble pillars support
the roof and divide the nave into two
aisles. These pillars are said to have

Of David and Christ sprung With the
mind thus awakened by these histor.
ic spots, one journeys along to the
gateway leading into the town.
Bethlehem has about 5000 inhabi-
tants. The streets are narrow, poorly
paved with scarcely level stretch
anywhere, while low-sized houses Of
stone line both sides of the streets.
The lower floor of many of the houses
Is used for booth or workshop,
where natives are principally engaged
in making rosaries or trinkets Of
pearl, coral and olive wood
The inhabitants are for the most
part Christians. They are bright ap-
pearing, neatly dressed and more fav-
orably impress one than the people of
Jerusalem. 1t is said that the blood
of the crusaders flows in the veins of
many of the inhabitants.

Passing through narrow doorway

stood. Here the infant Savior, wrapt
in swaddllng clothes, was laid. AS
the genuine manger was carried TO

a wax image of the infant lies upon a
pallet of straw.
We turn from here to another altar

Grotto tn Limestone.

soft limestone and is 80 feet long and
from ten to twelve feet wide. 1t is
paved with stone flags, and the walls
are covered with white marble.
Turning to the right we enter pas

tomb. He was friend of st. Jerome
and came to aid him in the founding
of monastery at Bethlehem. He

Tombs. fa
On the east side Is an altar, beneath
which are the tombs of st. Paula and
ST. Eustochlum, her daughter. They
were descendants of the Gr&cci and
Scipios, and had come to Bethlehem to
devote themselves to the service of
God. They distributed their wealth to
the poor, aided st. jerome to build
monasteries, and studied the holy
scriptures under him.
In the west wall of this chapel Is the
tomb or St..Jerome where an altar is
also erected above his resting place.
Near by Is small room known as the
oratory of st. Jerome. Here the saint

DOTn.
Bethlehem is situated about six
miles south of Jerusalem. Starting
from Jerusalem by the Jaffa gate, the
journey Is over a rough and hilly
country road amid scenes that awaken
in the mind reverent memories
and fill the soul with loving emo
tions. Along this very road Christ
often walked, and here and there at
different turns of the road are places
associated with some interesting and
stirring event in the history of the
people of Israel On the west, Is the
Gibon valley, where Solomon was
crowned and on the southeast is the
valley of Hinnom, where nearby, in
the field of Rephaim, King David de-
feated the Philistines.
But short distance from King
David's we'll Bethlehem greets the eye.
There on high hill 1t stands, with its
closely clustered houses of white
stone. its massive walls and towers
looming forth in the brightness of the
morning sun, while below is a rich
valley with its green grass, olive trees
and vineyards reaching up in terraces
to the summit of the hill.
