road to jerusalem.
These were not ordinary shepherds.
They were shepherds of the flocks
which were reserved for sacrificial
purposes at the temple, and We're re-
sarded as men of no mean position.
This was particularly true of Mlsael,
the chief shepherd. whose three-score-
and-ten years sat upon him with
lightness and Il grace which would
have done credit to any man of forty.
"Children" said Misael on this par
ticular evening when they met at their
Migdal Eder, 81 have been thinking all
day of the marvellous memories which
hallow our beloved CITY,"
"And not only memories" broke in
Acheel, the first assistant, who sought
to initiate everything which he deemed
80 admirable in the leader; "but think
of the prophecy which makes the fu

Yes" said Misael, that is true,
Acheel; at is here that the Messiah
is to be born but heaven only knows
pass. had hoped it might be In my
time; but suppose 1 am too old now
to dare look forward to so great hap

Aiisael was interrupted at this point
by the advent of travellers. 1t was
but small party, consisting of an
elderly but robust man, a radiantly
beautiful girl and donkey on the
back of which the girl was sitting.
"Friends," said the elderly man,

the king is making for Rome
The elderly traveller answered, "That
is what has brought us here, too, to be
enrolled under the edict of Augustus.
We have been brought up to respect
the law; and next to Gods law and
our own, that of Rome calls for our
obedience now

There is an owl so small that 1t

known of this Interesting little bird,
because of its shyness and small size.

The kings OF the earliest dynas-

the daintiest and most convincing

King Ter. OF the first dynasty.
But these tombs have not only
yielded evidence Of the skill OF the

taught us that even at this incredibly
