BOOKS AND READING.

TT IIE cause of good books, more and better
reading, therefore Of higher and noblcr
thinking has received a very decided i'm
petus i'll our State during tic past year
The work OF the Library Gymnasium Com
mission, described elsewhere in this issue, in
dcatcs what is going on in our communities in
the way OF making bookovers OF many vouur
people.
The establishment Of a number Of free pub
lie Libraries and reading rooms tile meetings
held, the addresses given, the taxes voted or
similar steps taken in other places for the same
objcct--all these movements show that the time
is opportunc and conditions arc ripe for build
ing up in this State library, or library and
gymnasium in every community of sufficient size
to maintain and with enough good sense to de-
sire such institutions for the uplifting of IFS
youths.
The State Commission is to be congratulated
upon the very substantial results that have fol-
lowed its first two years OF work We orc in
tcrcstcd TO note and endorse its recommended
tons and suggestions.
On the business side. since these Libraries arc
to be supported by public taxation averaging
perhaps about one dollar per year to each family,
the funds for library or gymnasium purposes
might be provided for in the annual tax levy. It
is proposed to change the law SO as to permit the
towns to vote this tax at any special election as
well as if desirable, at any general election. The
+ Commission suggests that before the tax roll is

AT BETHLEHEM.

TIlE Evangelists who record The birth of
Jesus OF Nazareth tell lis of the wonder
full manifestations that accompanied His
coming They note that supernatural gh:
shonc around the shepherds OF the fields, in the
night Of the Nativity that all angel brought
them the tidings OF great JOY of the birth Of a
Savior and that a multitude OF the heavenly
host was heard singing songs OF praise. All
this happened unnoticcd by the world at large,
just as in our own day glorious manifestations
in connection with the dedication Of Temples
have been given without the cognizancc Of the
world in general.
Bethlehem today is very much as ii was 1000
years ago. Shepherds are still watching their
hocks outside tho city The inns, or kllans, are
still overcrowdcd when a great number OF pill
srims arrive as at Christmas time. Possibly
some Of the venerable buildings have stood there
since the beginning OF our era witnessing gen
crations come and 60.
But in some respects a great change has
come, In the night OF the Nativity only few,
simple. poorly clad shepherds came 10 worship
at the manager, but they came guided by the
light from heaven. Today thousands OF pilgrims
come from all over the world and fill the
C,rotto OF the Nativity where services arc held
commemorative OF the Savior's birth. The pre-
atcs are attircd i'll gorgeous vcstmcnts, carry
ing censers, tapcrs, crosses and banners. The
chapel and the srotto arc magnhccntly adorn-
ed. In fact. everything has been done to remove
from the scene Of the Nativity the original
simplicity and make it as different as possible
from what it was when the Son Of God came TO
the world. The stage setting, ii VIC may use
that expression, has been changed 10 conform 10
human ideals, and therefore the multitudcs
come to worship i'll their own way.
II is not only the scene OF the Nativity that
has undergone material change The entire
iginal simplicity and meaning. And as a result
we find that unbclici and doubt arc gaining
ground on one hand and indifference on the
other. Even from the pulpit we hear today at
tacks on the lie, the claims the Miracles the
resurrection and the ascension of Christ. But
perhaps no part Of the story OF Jesus is more
frequently assaulted than that which relates to
lis birth. That is being treated as a fable by
many who profess to be Christians il is being
compared to the myths connected with the birth
Of Greek and Roman heroes.
The truth, however, is that if the story Of the:
birth is rclegatcd to the domain Of fable. the.
entire gospel story may as well follow; for it is
saturated through and through with the doctrine
of the divinity Of Jesus. Some ono has we'll
said that the deity OF Christ is in solution i'll

Placing the Immigrants.

&c. uFH Hs
I'm a recent speech on the assimila-
ton of Immigrants Secretary Nagel of
the department of commerce and labor
outlined a policy which looks to more
vigorous state action in this particular
field. Nearly all Of the states are vital
" interested in this matter Of placing
immigrants right as o o as they land.
States contiguous to the great ports of
entry are in a position to do good mis-
sionary work for the nation at large
the while they look after their own
particular interests.
1t is a big task for the federal gov
eminent to undertake to place salts
factorily the vast droves Of men and
women who come here in helpless ig-
norance of conditions. To discriminate
would be impossible, and the best that
could be done would amount to merely
dumping train loads upon the nearest
vacant territory and letting them shift
for themselves. The states, however.
would handle contingents Of a few
hundred at most and can safely at
tempt to guard the moral, financial and
physical welfare Of strangers seeking
homes and employment. @
