THE FIRST CHRISTMAS
ST. LUKE 2:1-I6

And IL came TO pass in those
days that there went out decree
from Caesar Augustus, that AL the
world should be taxed.
(.nd this taxing was first made
when Cyrenius was governor of
Syria-) --.-.--.-.--
And all went to be taxed, every
one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up frCm
Galilee out of the city of Naz-
areth, into Judea, unto the city Of
David, which is called Bethlehem;
(because he was of the house and
lineage of David:)
To be taxed with Mary his es-
po,Ised wife, being great with
child.
And so 1t was that, while they
were there, the days were accom-
plished hat she should be- de-
livered.
And sht brought forth her first
born son, and wrapped him in
swaddhng clothes, and laid him
in a manger; because there was
no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same
country shepherds abiding in the
field, keeping watch over their
flOcks by night.
And, 10, the angel Of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory Of
the Lord slione round about them:
and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them
Fear not: for, behold, 1 bring you
good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day
In the city of David a Saviour,
which Is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign INTO
YOU; Ye shall find the babe wrap
ped in swaddling clothes, lying in
a manger.
And suddenly there was with
the angel multitude of the heav-
eny host praising God, and say
ing.
Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men.
And 1t came to pass, as the
angels were gone away from them
into heaven, the shepherds said
ono to another. Let us now go
even unto Bethlehem, and see this
thing which is come to pass,
which the Lord hath made known
unto us.
And they came with haste, and
found Mary, and Joseph, and the
babe lying in manger.
And when they had seen it, they
made known abroad the sly ing
which vas told them concerning
this child.
And all they that heard il won
dered at those things which were
told them by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things,
and poJdered them In her heart.
And he Shepherds returned,
clarifying and praising God for all
the things that they had heard
and seen, as il was told unto
them

New York, Dec. 24.-Interview With
a Chinese Laundryman:
Q. What do you think of the kidnap-
ing of General Chang Kai-shek by
General Chank Hsueh-Liang
A. am glad you asked You might
have gone to someone of my country
men whose talents, while far greater
than mine, at the same time would
not have descended to the low level
OF linguist. I am thus able to put my
poor thoughts into your beautiful Ian
guage for have made a study of it
for twenty-four years. General Chang
Kal-shek- is the savior of my people,
while his jailor, General Chang
Hsueh-liang is a wicked man.
q. Do you think is was a genuine
kidnapping? Or was it the manifes-
tation of some intrigue previously ar
ranged?
A. Nothing in China happens as it
seems to happen. Thus the Chinese
with a philosophical turn of mind
learns to accept everything at face
value. This is not as illogical as it
sc nds. We Orientals try to avoid
w.. ste mental effort They tell me
General Chang Kai-shek was abduct-
ed All right. He was abducted. Did
he arrange it himself? That is none
of my business. I know he is essen
tally an honest man, with a pure
heart
Q. But what about Kai-shek's hon
esty, if, as you admit is possible. he
deceived his people as to the true
status of his imprisonment by Hsueh-
lang and then kept the people in the
dark as to the true nature of the ne
gotiations which followed?
A did not say suspected General
Chang Kai-shek, if L may boldly re-
mind you, of any such thing. merely
pointed out that in China things are
rarely what they seem. If Kai-shek
seems to have been kidnapped, he very
PROBABLY was not kidnapped. Do you
see, sir? The great general surely has
a true heart.
y. Not very clearly / am afraid |
What accounts for your admiration |
Tor Kai-shek?
A. sense in him a great leader of |
my people, a man of absolute in
tegrity. Did he not accept the offers
