CHRISTMAS IN
BETHLEHEM.

No place in all the world has
greater interest in the Christmas sea-
son than Bethlehem The normal pop
ulation Of the town where Christ was
born in less than 5000, but during
Christmas week II becomes great
cosmopolitan center of $4,000 or 60,000
souls, all eager to pay homage to the
place hallowed by the Savlour's birth
In Bethlehem people are brought face
to face with the wonderful scenes
which are but feebly known to the rest
Of the world Here they may see the
place where the three wise men Of the
east halted after their long journey.
Here they worship the shrine inclosing
the manger In which Christ was born.
They walk along the same road fol-
lowed by the Virgin Mary in her jour
ney to the ancient city. They see
buildings and ruins which the eyes OF
the infant Christ rested upon. The
tiny city, crescent shaped and beauti-
full to look upon, teens with the real
tiles which the rest of the world cele-
brates.
