Bethlehem Rites
Feature March
To Nativity Cave

HHRISTMAS is observed in Beth
- lehem on December Is by the
Roman Catholics and Protestants,
on January 6, by the Greek Ortho-
dOX and affiliated churches, and on
January 10 by the Armenians.
All Bethlehem, however, turns
out on December "a for the ar
rival Of the Patriarch of Jerusalem
Cardinal of the Holy Eand-who
each year brings an ancient effigy
of the Infant Jesus to Bethlehem
which he lays in the manger within
the cave where Christ was born.
Dramatically the procession ap-
proaches: heralded by a single
horseman, his banner streaming
aloft A corps of native police
mounted upon fiery Arabian horses
follow and then another single
horseman upon a prancing black
steed carrying the cross on high;
the Patriarch in his cardinal and
ermine, mitred bishops, clergy in
embroidered vestments and white
rObed acolytes - swinging golden
censers-precede the jeweled pa
vilon of the Holy Child Magnificent
cortegcs of government officials,
foreign embassies, bands. religious
organizations follow, and finally,
American made automobiles mingle
with native tWo-wheeled carriages
The procession enters the Church
of the Nativity. The public is not
permitted to witness the actual
placing Of the effigy, as that part Of
the Church-built above the Cave of
the Nativity-is under the jurisdic-
ton of the Greek Orthodox church.
The grotto-like Cave of the Nativ-
ity in no way conforms to the mod
ern conception Of a "Stable;" in
biblical times, however, shelters
for man and beast were hewn into
rocky ledges-thus, the Stable of
Bethlehem.
On Christmas Eve, members Of
all denominations assemble to sing
carols above the birthplace Of the
Holy Child before midnight mass is
solemnized in the Church of the
Nativity

OF penny stamp to swell fund
for children's hospitals.
Authorized by King Christian, the
first Christmas seals were sold in
Copenhagen in 1904.
Holboel's scheme outgrew his
widest imaginings, for before his
death in 1927, he lived to see it
spread to IS countries, including
Korea, India and French-Indochina
The seals foun d their way to
America on letters and packages
and first attracted the attention of
Jacob Riis who wrote an article
about them. Few people, however,
were interested in the idea.
Then, in the autumn of 1907. Emily

cerned about the fate Of small
sanatorium, recalled the article and
sat down to sketch Americas first

With $4,000 stamps printed and no.

Govt. House Fixtures
Consume Lurge
Amount Of Energy

The fixtures recently in
stalled in the Government
House here would prove to be
a very costly affair in electri-
cal energy, if the Ballroom
was used often enough.
After bordering over what a
terrific job that lighting 50
many candles in the old days
must have been when there
was to be an affair, Governor
de G astro thoughtfully
checked with an electrician
and discovered that a total of
1890 candlepoWer was being
used in place Of the candles.
The Danes had thoughtfully
electrified the replicas.
1t is not generally know that
these fixtures arrived without
the necessary bulbs; no Ameri-
can-made bulbs can work in
them, thus the Administration
53AG%E
quickly cabled for the neces-
sary bulbs to be sent by the
.swiftest method. The Danes
and everyone concerned Co
operated and the bulbs arrived
just on time; otherwise the
ceremony would have been
somewhat dim" However,
Immediately after Governor
de Castro's acceptance speech,
the LIGHTS were turned on.
