The Circle of Divine Love.

Christmas reverses creation. One
gave us man in the image Of God,
while the other gave us God in the
image of man. The two complete the
circle of divine love. That the gods
should come down in the likeness OF
man was long recognized as a uni
versal possibility. And yet Christ
mas stands alone. It has no coun'
terpart in all the recorded nantes
tations of deity. The story is natural
when one recalls Of whom it was
written. That a man like Jesus should
have entered the world by a special
door is not strange. He was different
from all others. The wine press Of his
life no one could tread but himself.
That night belongs to no calendar:
The very stars wore their brightest
faces, when from before the depths
of space God drew aside his curtains
of richest blue. Jesus did not come
alone. .

VALUE IS ONLY Sentimental
MistIetoe One of Most Greatly Ad-
mired of Evergreen Plants But
Is Practically Worthless.

Perhaps none of our evergreen
plants is more loved and admired
than the mistletoe, with its modest
yellowish-green leaves and its clus.
tiers of small white berries. For cen
turtles it has been considered an i'm
portant feature of the Christmas dec
grafton. Yet, in regard to the real
value of the plant, the mistletoe is
practically worthless.
It is a small shrub comprising more
than four hundred known species,
mostly tropical and parasitic. In the
eastern and southern parts Of the
United States the common mistletoe
grows on various species Of decidu-
ous trees. In Europe, it seems to pre-
fer the apple-tree to any other host.
1t sends it's roots through the bark
Of the tree and draws ~sustenance
from the sap. However, it is only a
partial parasite, for it has green
leaves which enable it to so some
work in making food for itself.
In some species Of mistletoe the
flowers are snowy, while those OF
other species are more modest. The
pistils and stamens do not grow with
in the same flower, or even on the
same plant, but the pistillate flowers
grow on one plant and the staminate
on another.
The berries contain fiat seeds, sur
rounded by a very sticky substance,
from which birdlime may be made.
This birdlime is spread upon places
frequented by birds, to impede their
movements and render them easily
captured. In a similar way it may be
used to snare ground-squirrels. and
other small animals. This is the only
practical use that has ever been made
Of the mistletoe.
The plant grows very slowly, and
mot until it is four years old does
it bear it's first white, translucent ber-
ries. However, it drains the vital
juices necessary to the growth Of the
tree, and when many punches find
lodgment upon the same tree, they ul-
timately cause it's decline and death"

HOLY CITY'S CHRISTMAS TIME
Distressing Scenes Witnessed in
Church of the f:ativity-Guards
on Duty Day and Night.

Although much has been written up
on the subject Of Christmas in Beth.
lehem, writes Harold J. Shepstone in
the Wide World, and we have had
glowing accounts of it's gorgeous pro-
cessions and ceremonies, none appears
to have been bold enough to tell the
world of the distressing scene which
may be witnessed in the n spot on
earth where man would expect peace
to reign at that glad season of the
year. Christmas is. a long business at
Bethlehem. First come the Latin cere-
monies, which take place on December
:25, followed ID days later by the Greek
services, while - days later comes the
Armenian Christmas feast. The serV-
ices are held in the Church Of the Ma
;tvity, one of the most remarkable edi.
fees in the world. The holy Of holes
of the church is the grotto or manger.
1t is a small underground chamber,
said to be the actual site Of the stable
where the Savior was born. Just In
front of the altar is a silver star, let
into the marble floor, said to mark the
exact spot of the nativity. =.
In the various ceremonies the bit.
lterest rivalry exists between the vari-
!!ous sects, and even during the ordinary
services Turkish soldiers have to be
ION guard day AID night in the church
to prevent strife. On special occasions,
such as Christmas time, an extra force
,of soldiers is necessary if order is to
be maintained. 1t is during Christmas
festivities that the church is cleaned.
To prevent quarrels among the rival
priests the authorities many years ago
set down definite rules as to what por-
tons Of the walls, pillars, floors, etc.,
this or that body may clean or sweep.
Despite these elaborate precautions,
however, trouble often arises. During
the Christmas festivities of 1913 a
ideplorable scene was witnessed in the
sacred building. Two sects disputed
the rights to clean a certain portion
of the church. They went to the gov
'ernor of Bethlehem and he, decided q
certain sect possessed the right to do
the work. When they started to sweep,
however, the rival priests flew at them
and soldiers had to hold n sect back
while the other did the sweeping.
