with his brethren at the manger in
Bethlehem.
There are many more who have
played the same roles from year to year,
and there are others who have advanced
to more important parts than those
which they at first essayed. In five years
some of the younger members have
grown up and married, but they still ap-

in 1925. One of these Is Ruth Chind-
