 This is the great highway leading from Jerusalem through Bethlehem on to He- bron and over which I have passed sev- eral times on foot and often on Ve- hicle. Its very altitude is inspiring and its associations are of the most cuthrall- Ing character.

 and not a quarter of mile away lay the | field where the "shepherds watched their | nocks by night and where they heard | the sweetest story that ever fell on hu- | man ears, the voice of angles proclaim , ing Peace on earth, good will toward | men"
