When they were questioned where the king was
to be born they answered: In Bethlehem Of
Judea; for thus it is written by the prophet, And
thou, Bethlehem in the land of Juda, art not the
least among the princes of Juda; for out Of thee
shall come governor, that shall rule my people
israel" According to the authorized version 1t
Is then stated in the New Testament that
"Herod, when he had priviy called the wise men,
inquired Of them diligently what time the star
appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem and
said Go and search diligently for the young
child; and when we have found him, bring me
word again, that l may and worship him
also When they had heard the king, they de-
parted; and 10, the star, which they in the
east went before them, till it and stood
over where the young child When they saw
the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great Joy"
That is the whole story of the Star of Bethe-

ond chapter of the gospel according to st. Mat
thew.
1t was closter fancy Of the dark ages, hand
ed down through centuries, that led the Chris

purpose of leading the Magi to the birthplace
Of Christ. The modern Christian is apt

public until yesterday forenoon.
Imagine, if you can, the JOY that
filled the breasts of us old timers
who have been hoping, praying and
working for it for twenty years or
more. We have gone over the
ground time and again, turned. the
rocks over, dug sage brush, heaved
sigh after sigh, wrote and printed
hundreds of columnsof matter about
it, worked increasingly day and
night, knowing full we'll that it
meant everything to Kittitas, and
now, the day of our glory has ar
rived and who would not rejoice!
The day of our deliverance is at
hand.
The day of our rejoicing is also
upon us.
1t means millions to Kittltas val

1t means more than tongue can
