Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem Of Judca,
in the days of Herod the king,
behold
there came wise from the east to Jerusalem
saying,
Where is he that is born King of the Jews?
for we have seen his star, in the east,
and are come to worship him.
When Herod the king had heard these things
he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him
And when be had gathered all the chief priests and
sclibes Of the people together,
he demanded Of them where Christ should be born
And they said unto him.
In Bethlehem of Judea;
for thus it is written by the prophet
And thou Bethlehem, in the land Of Juda,
art not the least among the princes Of Juda
for out of thee shall come Governor.
that shall rule my people lslea
Then Herod, when he had privly called the wise men,
inquired Of them diligently what time the star appeared
And he sent them to Bethlehem and said
Go and search diligently for the young child.
and when We have found him,
bring word again,
that | may come and worship him also
When they had heard the king, they departed;
and TO-
the star which they in the east went before them
till it came and stood where the young child was
When they saw the star,
they rejoiced with exceeding great JOY.
And when they were come into the house,
they saw the young child with Mary his mother
and fell down and Worshped him;
and when they had opened their treasures,
they presented unto him gifts,
gold, and franklncense, and myrrh
And being warned Of God in dream that they should
not return to Herod,
they departed into their own country another way.
And when they departed,
behold
the angel Of the Lord appeareth to Joseph il dream,
saying,
Arise,
and take the young child and his mother,
and flee into Egypt

When he arose.

They Turn Dials

No one except the two SER
geants knows how all the
equipment works. The other
men have merely been trained
to watch the dials in one small
corner Of the big control panel.
One of the privates described
his job quickly: Turn these
knobs IL the needles on those
dials move to such and such a
position. How about those other
controls by his elbow? He didn't
know. He only ran a two-foot
segment OF the control panel.
The adjoining dialS we're for
his buddy to manipulate.
Sergt. Jordan said 1t makes
no difference to him that his
crew knows nothing about cleo
tronicS. He teaches them q
simple task and gets 10 months
Of good work out of each two
year draftee.
