The road is dazzling white, the fences are white and a white dust covers the green of the fields The sky is light blue and the sun beats down, sending out millions of silver white rays. We are going toward the south, and the sun is full in our faces. It is hot, al- though a cold wind is blowing over these hills of Judea which whrls the dust around and sends columns of it into the air.
 Reclaiming Palestine
 Soon after leaving Jerusalem we cross. a depression covered with green, which is known as the Valley of Roses. Farther on are olive groves, and as we near Beth lehem there are great fields of green, and off at the left we can see the plain where the young widow Ruth garnered wheat for old Boaz and thus got food and a husband
 All the way from Jerusalem to Bethle- hem the country is growing There are signs of increased cultivation, and every bit of available land is being set out in orchards and gardens. l went over the same road 20 odd years ago. The country then was bare rocks with bits of grass here and there. Today the land is dvid- ed into fields. The surface rocks have been gathered together and laid up in dences as. high as my head The land which is cleared is now planted in wheat orn and barley, and the country has the 'ppearance of a cultivated mountain gar den New olive orchards are rising and many of the old ones still stand. The trunks of the latter are knotty and grarly, but the leaves are of green dusted. T1th silver, and I am told they bear Fruit. I photographed one tree nor more than 90 feet high which had a trunk as thick as a hogshead and branches which aaded a large tract of ground. The soil Of Palestine is as fertile today as it was when Joshua led the Tsraelites across it apd, barring the fences, I doubt not the landscape is about the same now as It vas when Christ was born.

 Jerusalem
 ~N0ME with me this morning and take
 d look at Bethlehem as it lies out 0% here on the hills of Judea, 1910 years after our Savior was born The town is only seven miles from Jerusalem. It is Sabbath days journey, and it can be reached in three quarters of an hour in a comfortable carriage. The usual price for the round trip is s2.4o and, in addi- ton, you arc expected to give small fee to the driver. There are riding horses outside the Jaffa gate which will take you there and back for less money, and if you would go still cheaper you can hire a donkey or travel on foot. There are scores of pilgrims from Russia. Armenia. Syria and even far Abyssinia, who tramp over the'-read every day. and we shall meet many parties of them stalking along with staffs in their hands. The Russian peasants wear rude shoes of straw or top boots. the syrians have shoes of the hide of the camel and the Abyssinian and others are often barefoot
 By Carriage to Bethlehem
 We shall take carriages for our trip from Jerusalem. We start at the Jaffa gate, next bavid's Tower, on the top of Mount Zion. near where, it is claimed, the erueifixion took place. The gate has been wideHed by the breach through the wall made in honor of Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany. and all sorts of vehicles can now go in and out. As we leave the gate we pass coffee houses, in which the peo- ple of a dozen different nations are drink ing, go by the railroad station, where the locomotive just in from the Mediterran- can is puffing and smoking, skirt the valley of Hfnnom, in which is the pool of Gihon, where David was annointed, and a little later on stop near the village where King Saul was crowned. The road is excellent. It is of a hard lime stone, walled on each side by lime- stone fences and backed by green fields which are now covered with the dust Of the road The traffic is constant and the dust makes the air white. It fills our eyes, mouth and nostrils, and turns our

 It was here at Bethlehem that occurred the slaughter of the innocents. King Herod had learned that the Savior was born, and he thought if he still lived al Bethlehem he would make sure of His death So his soldiers killed all the chill dren under two years. There is place
 here which the guides tell you was used
 for storing the bodies, and in 1t are oil

 be There are many older children as we'll, and all howl for baksheesh. The Rethlehemites are noted for their beauty. This is especially so of the girls, who are fair skinned and bright-eyed They have plump, well rounded forms, which they
 clothe in long gowns of white linen, so
 beautifully embroidered in silk that one dress requires many months work. Tho
 main part of their costume is much like a lady's nightgown without frills or lace The gown falls to the feet, being open at the front in narrow slit. Over the gown they wear sleeveless coats of dark red stripes and cover their heads with shawls

 The Stable and Its Manager
 The Church of the Nativity is of great size. It belongs to the Greeks, Latins and Armenians, each of whom has q share in the church proper and is com pelled to worship in turn and in his own quarters. Mohammedan soldiers are al- ways on guard to keep them from quar- reling, and this is so, not only In the church itself, but in the grotto or stable below, where they believe Christ was born
 This grotto is sort of a cave reached by winding staircase which goes down from the church. The cave is 12 feet wide and 40 feet long, and its roof is per haps ten feet above the floor. The floor is covered with marble. Many lamps hang from the roof and the walls, and there is an altar at one end under which is 8. silver star set into the pavement, and above 1t an inscription in Latin, stating that this was the spot upon which the Virgin Mary gave birth to Christ. At enc side of the cave is a recess called the Chapel of the Manger.' where it is said the Savior was laid after His birth. The manager is of brown and white marble, and wax doll lies in 1t representing the Christ. The Latins claim that they have the original manager in one of their cath edrals in Rome. It is shown every Christ mas.
 As I stood in the stable not far from the manger a party of 20 Franciscan monks came in and kelt down and sang a service concerning the nativity. They were burley men, with shaved heads and long boards. They wore long gowns and their heads and feet were bare. They knelt upon the floor as they sang, and at .he end each bowed down and kissed the star marking the spot of Chrst's birth
 During my stay in the Holy Land have visited many stables which have been used as such for ages and which are probably similar to that in which Christ was born This Bethlehem grotto, if in deed, 1t was ever used as a stable, has been so changed by the decorations that it Is impossible to conceive it to be the place of the nativity It is probably a fraud, as iE also the we'll at one side of the crypt, where the water is said to have burst forth from the naked rock for the use of the holy family. I looked down into this well. It Is said that the star which guided the Magi, fell into 1t, but that 1t Is only visible to the eye of a virgin. I looked. but being of the other sex, could not see it.
 To return to the real stables of the Holy Land. They are often caves, the floors being of rough stone. They are frequently large and some have several rooms filled with donkeys, camels and horses. Tho managers are stone boxes. and in front of them on the floor may be

 The story is that the Wise Men as they trudged along the road in the gathering twilight sat down on the mragin of this vel to rest. They stopped forward to draw some water to drink, when they saw in the mirror-like surface the star. They looked toward the heavens and then, in the words of the Scripture:
