Birthday Of Jesus
An Uncertain Date

It is not surprising that the dav
and year Of the birth Of Jesus are
uncertain, for methods Of keeping
track Of dates during the era when
Christ was born were not very reli.
able. For years, eminent scholars
have been searching the scriptures.
and all possible records, TO try to
establish an exact date. So far.
they have not succeeded.
Matthew states that Jesus was
born during the reign of King Herod
which helps to establish the period
of His birth and this is the starting
point from which the scholars at.
tempt to reckon the year.
The statement by Matthew that
the wise men from the east. in in.
quiring where is He that is born
King of the Jews?" aroused Herod
so that he ordered the massa ere
of all children two years old or less.
Is very significant. II is taken as
proof that Jesus must have been
born about two years before this
Infamous decree was issued.
No less an authority than the
Catholic encyclopedia places the
birth Of Christ in the year which,
by our modern methods of keeping
track of dates, would be 7 B. C..
Thus, Christ's birth does not exactly
determine the difference between
B. c. and A. d. date.
Most people. however, do not
care if the exact day and year Of
Christ's birth are unknown. What
matters most is the deathless vigor
Of the Christmas Spirit throughout
the world.

Dog Fights OFF
Assistance After
Man Falls Dead
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, April D.
Botch didn't know all those people
were trying to help his master.
Butch, a 35-pound mongrel dog
knew only that his master, David p
Condor, was lying there on the
sidewalk and couldn't get up.
A priest, policeman and an am
bulance physician all knew that Mr.
Condor, a 65-year-old retired park
department employe, was dead.
They, and others, tried to get to
the body, but the snarling Butch
teeth barred, held them off for full
half hour until the city dog warden
roped him with a lasso. When a
woman who thought she could iden-
tify the body approached too close,
Butch lunged at her and she mar
rowly escaped being bitten.
Mr.. Condor fell dead just after
coming out Of the Sacred Heart
Church. His dog had been waiting
for him outside.
