less elaborate. but all lind as their
fundamental plan long narrow pas
and n dark chamber mt the far end
where the priest made the obScrva-
ilon and where the Image was kept.
The beginning OF the new year was
nm important event. We can picture
the scene MS the priests. followed by
the scrlbes. lawyers. merchants. and
the curious crowd. wind their way up
10 the temple In the first strenks OF
dawn. and take their appointed places.
As daylight comes on the interest OF
everyone Is ccnlerci on two groups.

the dark chamber are watching for
Sirius Soldiers are stationed around
the temple 10 keep the crowd silent
md to prevent stragslers from cross
Ing the path of the stars rays In front
Of the temple door Mt the critical
moment.
A shout bursts from those on the
roof as the sun tops the horizon. The
observers below watch their water
clocks carefully now MS the minutes
are told on. and s,rnln their eyes nj
the narrow opening where Sirius is to
shine. In few moments Sirius Itself
flashes Into view. and the new ycnr
has begun.
The Egyptians discovered that the
year hns mn extra quarter of n day In
Il. They did II by noting that on some
years Sirius and the sun rose almost
together. while on others there was mn
npprcciablc difference In time. md tim,

IN the temple to last for the seven

Christ was born.
Break fairer than our owns
The mornings promise noon and
ere fpifiled
In warm. soft sky and landscape
ha.y-hiiied
And sunset fair as they:
4 sweet reminder Of His holicst
time.
A sumner miracle in our pin.er
cline.
God gauc perfect day.
TIE ncor mds blended NTH the old
and fur.
4nd Behlehcm's hillside and The
MagTS star
Seemed here as there and then
Our homestead pine tree ras The
Syrian palm,
Dur hearts desire The angels mid
night psalm.
Peace. and good wiN 10 meni
