Matt. 2:1: Bethlehem of Judea-"

evangelists, Matthew and Luke, bear

is commemorated until this day.
4And thou Bethlehem, land of Ju-
dab, art in no wise least among the
princes of Judah: for out of thee
shall come forth a governor, who
shall be shepherd Of My people
Israel"
The scene of a pre-eminent birth,
Bethlehem is, as always it has been
since prophetic days, of interest and
inspiration to those followers of the
risen Lord who are privileged to gaze
upon it.

Cornell Scientist Compares Football
to B~ull-Baiting and Prize Fighting,

Ithaca. N. Y.-Burt G. Wilder. the
Cornell scientist, attacked football
again, advocating its adjustment.
While he declared that the recent
casualty had no particular influence
on his mind, he hoped the views of
other men might be changed.
He oaid ne would rather encourage
pull-baiting and prize fighting than
football on the ground that resultant
deaths would help the community.
He used one of his favorite terms,
calling football a relic of barbarism.

The Climax Of Woman's Return Trip
to Her Home.
A New York woman had a curious
| and tragic experience. one that seems
| more like a grewsome page from
French fiction than the plain recita! of
fact.
This woman started out with her
husband to accompany him part way
on a business TIP he was taking to
southern city. 1t was arranged that
she should stop to visit some friends
at point about halfway on the jour-
ney and after a two days stay should
proceed and rejoin her husband at his
destination aud return with him. She
made her visit and when she reached
the town where she had expected to
meet her husband found that he was
not at the hotel where he had been
stopping, but had left hurriedly for
New York the day before. She waited
long enough to send kilograms to her
husbands office and to their house in
New York asking il he had arrived
and to receive negative answer from
SANh PtuSC.
Concluding that he had been unable
to reach her by telegraph while she
was on the road, she decided to return
home. She was disappointed. but not
at all perturbed. as she journeyed
northward. She had to change cars
twice on the way. Each change in
volved wait Of ten or fifteen min
utes at a small junction town. As she
was pacing up and down the station
platform at each Of these places she
saw a big, pine covered coffin box I'M
loaded from the express car and put
aboard the northbound train. At Jer-
sey City the same box was being I'M
loaded. and 1t crossed the ferry with
her In hearse. She noted idly that
one of the hearse horses was white
and the other black. She went first
to her husbands Office. but the hour
was late in the afternoon. and it was

SELF"
Sometimes the men were shot, and
the country at large imagined that
these men we're real traitors and con-
spirators. and applauded the verdict
and their execution.
When the originators Of this system
found themselves threatened they
promptly surrendered--all save one.
This one turned reyolutionist, with
the result that an army Of several
thousand men was placed IN the field,
and Bluefelds and the entire eastern
coast of Nicaragua conquered.
That is the view Of the situation as
taken on the isthmus where, to be
sure, there are many Nicaraguans
naturally very strongly opposed to the
present administration in their coun-
try. They are OF the opinion that
Zelaya sees that the game is up, and
is anxious to make his departure In
safety from the republic. He would
much rather stand in the eyes OF the
world as having been forced out by
the United States, than by his own
people. however. This is why he has
provoked deprisals by the brutal
shooting OF Cannon and Groce.
The statement issued by Zelaya
TO the effect that the revolutionists
had employed the two Americans to
mine the San Juan river, and that
they were captured after they had ex-
ploded one mine near the transport
Dlamante is given no credence here
This version is contradicted by a de-
serter from the zelaya forces, who haA
confirmed the previous report that
each of the Americans was captured
while accommodating some hills near
the river.
