goats are so trained that each follow
their shepherd as a dog follows his

At near noon we halt at the garden
of Gethsemina where the Catholic
fathers have it cultivated in flowers
and the tomb of Christ kept from

valley of Jehosophat is the tomb of
David. We get our lunch, for this
afternoon we are to drive to Bethle-
ham, some eight miles to the south
of Jerusalem.
The road to Bethlehem leads
down to the valley of the Hinnon
past Jacobs well; farther down we
pass the tomb of Rachel, of which
most all have seen a picture, which
perfectly displays it, so one would
recognize it without description. We
pass into some filthy narrow streets
and we are at the point where Christ
is said to have been born. We
enter a chapel and here we see one
of those disgraceful conditions that
exist in spite of all effort to have it
otherwise. This chapel is divided in
three parts one for the Catholic, one
for the Greek and one for the Ar
menian church. Soldiers of the Turk
ish army are stationed to keep
peace but in spite of these, these
christian savants get into deadly
combat over this sacred spot and
kill and name and can only be
kept from continual combat by
these armed guards. This church
is built over the place where Christ
is said to have been born. We pass
through rooms where religious fana-
tacism holds full sway and finally
are lead to that sacred spot to which
so many make pilgramage. The
place adopted as the stable in which
Christ was born is in grotto about
twenty feet below ground. Here
we are pointed out marble manger

from far north in Russia were kissing

1914, found the American Fidelity |
company solvent, and that it was con-
Quoting its business at that time in /
way to maintain continuing condi- |
ton of solyency there was no reason
for a change. The company April 10, 4
1914, had assets of nearly $l,2O0,O0O,
and surplus as to polieyhOlders OF
more than $450,000, which means that
after setting aside assets sufficient to-
meet all liabilities of every kind there
remained an unimpaired capital OIL
$3S0750 and funds in addition Oh
1913, 1920, making $473,934.2O with
which to meet any extraordinary losses
which may occur. While the company
| is not as large as formerly it is now
| financially sounder than at any previ-
Gus time in its history barring, posi-
bly,, the first few years of its existence.
Company Entitled to Confidence
Our law provides that a foreign
lsuretv company coming into this state
/ for business must have an inimpaired
lcapitaI of 100000, and it will be seen
that the American Fidelity, the only
Vermont company engaged IN this line
of business, has nearly double the
Iamount required of foreign companies.
This company is also doing business
in Massachusetts,, Connecticut, New
i York and more than % other states,
where the strictest supervision is cXer-
cised over such companies. and where
the highest standards of sovency pre-
vail. For more than seven and a half
years as one of the insurance commits
