GroHo II, Limestone.

The grotto is formed in a ridge OF
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 q pas

We next come to the chapel of the
Tombs.
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 Gracci 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.

Holy Family. From here we now enter

lamps shed soft and brilliant light
upon tho various shrines. With feel.
ings of reverence and devout faith, we
approach and look with wonder upon
the little chapel of the Magi. Here
with gifts of gold, frankincense, and
myrrh, these wise men from the east
knelt and adored the newborn King.
Near by is another small altar orna-
mented with lights and silken draper

stood. Here the infant Savior, wrapt
in swaddling clothes, was laid. As
the genuine manager was carried to
Rome, marble one now is seen where
wax image of the infant lies upon a
pallet OF straw.
We turn from here to another altar
more richly ornamented and draped
with silk and velvet curtains. The
soft rays from golden lamps above
flood the shrine with a glorious light.
Drawing near we see a large silver
star set in the marble floor beneath
the low arch Of the marble altar. and
with awe and wonderment read upon
the pavement this inscription, "Hic de
Virgine Maria Jesus Christus natus
est" (Here Jesus Christ was born of
the Virgin Mary,)

you find yourself at this sacred SPOT

an irresistible impulse you fall upon

Bethlehem is situated about six
miles south of Jerusalem. Starting
from Jerusalem by the Jaffa gate, the
Journey is over rough and billy
country road amid scenes that awaken
in the mind reverent memories
and fill the soul with loving emo
tons. 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
Gihon 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 a short distance from King
David's we'll Bethlehem greets the eye.
There on high hill it 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 q rich
valley with its green grass, olive trees
and vineyards reaching up in terraces
to the summit of the hill.
Charm of Bethlehem.
A mysterious charm seems to hang
over the town as one looks at 1t from
this point and reflects that this Is
Bethlehem, where Ruth and Boaz liv.
ed and loved, where Jesse and David
lived, and where Christ. the son of
God was born. What feeling of 10y
comes over one as drawing nearer
to the town he passes through this
lovely little valley covered with olive
trees and green grass, and is shown
"the field of the shepherds" where
the angels appeared to the lowly shep.
herds on the flrst Christmas night and
announced to them the glad tidings
of the Savior's birth. Leaving the
roadside and crossing over to the
field of the shepherds" one looks about
the peaceful valley and beholds sheep
feeding there upon the grassy slopes
and youthful shepherds still watching
their aocks as the shepherds did in
the time Of Christ.
A~Ss~A Wv ASAN Va IA0 0A0Qu0IUS Is
the field Of Boaz. where Ruth went
forth to CLEAN and where Boaz fell in
love with her. It was from this union
of Boaz and Ruth that the ancestors
of David and Christ sprung. With the
mind thus awakened by these histor-
&c 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 a 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-

Looks Like Fortress.

The outside OF the church looks like
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
Armenians. The first section of the
church is the Greek Basilica. Here
two rows of marble pillars support
the roof and divide the nave into two
aisles. These pillars are said to have
been taken from the temple of Solo,
mon. Along the walls are traces of
ancient mosaics.
There are two entrances leading
to the grotto. one by a marble stair
case near the choir in the Greek Sec
ton Of the church, and the other from
the Latin section, which Is known az
the church Of st. Catherine.
Some few years ago this church of
st. Catherine was enlarged and hand
somely fitted up by the emperor of
Austria.

The CAGE in the Rock.
Passing through the narrow streets
we finally come to the church of the
Nativity.
1t 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 a shelter for such beasts as
the stables of the inn could not &C.
commodate. Mary and Joseph were
obliged to take shelter in this grotto.
Here, amid the straw which served as
bedding for the beasts, far from all
assistance, on 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.
D. $50, also knew of it. The emperor
Hadrian, about 1877 A. D., in order to
keep the Christians away from it.
erected statue of Adonis there and
established idol worship in the cavern.
The emperor Constantine removed
the idol and erected over the cave a
church about $50 A. D. At different
periods since then the church has
been rebuilt, enlarged and renovated,
until we find the present structure.
with it's 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 tibet basilica stood. This court
yard is frequently used as a market
place where the natives gather to sell
their wares
