The little coun tr y m aid had never seen so m uch tra v e l. Ju s t outside the c ity o f Jerusalem , near by the v illa g e of Bethlehem , there were plenty of people who stopped fo r refreshm ent. And Jere m iah kept a good inn. He was a good m an too. B ut he was h ard, spar ing neither m an nor beast. And his niece Rebecca was hard put to do the tasks th a t were set before her. "W h y are there so m any tra v e le rs to d a y ? " she asked the little slave g irl who helped her prepare the evening meal. "The trib e s m e n ," replied F a tim a , " a re going to Jerusalem to be num bered, so th a t they m ay pay th e ir taxes. And th is w ill continue fo r days. These are not tim e s of re jo ic in g and feasting fo r u s !" Rebecca looked up as a bearded m an, leading an ass on w hich a young wom an rode, entered the c o u rty a rd . “ Is the inn keeper h e re ? " he asked gently. " M y w ife and I seek s h e lte r." “ There are no rooms le ft," F a tim a told h im , going on w ith her w ork. But Rebecca looked up at the wom an, whose face was w eary and touched w ith pain. “ I w ill see what provision can be m a d e ," the little m aid exclaim ed. H e r eyes never le ft the young w om an's sweet face The woman sm iled at Rebecca, and her husband sm iled too. Rebecca’s face lightened ea g e rly and even F a tim a found her self softening. Rebecca had some d iffic u lty find ing her uncle, busy as he was w ith m any things. Then it was hard to m ake him listen. “ There m ust be some place, un cle. T hat new stable, w ith the clean stra w , would be w a rm and c o m fo rt able. She cannot go fa rth e r, I know .” “ So be it , ” he answered. Then, as they neared the group, he too was im pressed by the young w om an's beauty and the lovely w a rm th o f her sm ile. "T h e re is naught but the stable,” he told them , " b u t Re W ENTW ORTH ? L f í H Í becca w ill seek to m ake you com 5 fo rta b le th e re ." Even a fte r she had done e ve ry th in g she could, and had cre p t into her own d a rk corner fo r the night, Rebecca found she could not forget the couple in the stable. M a ry, the m an had called his w ife. There was such a radiance about her. " I won der w hat makes her so d iffe re n t," Rebecca thought. And she opened her eyes. SAFEWAY STORES In am azem ent she saw lig h t in the c o u rtya rd , so m uch th a t it seemed the dawn m ust have come. B ut the lig h t cam e fro m a s ta r th a t shone ju s t about the stable. Out into the ya rd the g irl cre p t, and sudden ly she heard a c h ild ’s c ry , a cooing, happy sound. & Rebecca looked about. No one was s tirrin g . F a r off, on the h ill side she saw w hat looked lik e a group of men, shadowy, in d is tin c t, seem ingly m oving tow ard Bethle hem. I t m ust be her im a g in a tio n . Possibly it was E p h ra im 's vin e ya rd she saw. Soon she stood in the stable doorw ay. There, lig h te d by a la n te rn , was Joseph, bending over the young woman and holding in his a rm s a tin y baby—her firstb o rn . A t Rebec ca’ s excla m a tio n he turned, and in to her outstretched a rm s he handed MARTIN BROTHERS the little figure and showed her the snowy lengths of sw addling cloth.

He, too, saw the clu m p of trees o r vines, or was it a group of VALLEY HARDWARE men on the hillside? Then he re turned to the m anger and settled down beside M a ry and the sleeping Jesus. v k « M r k « ' k « > « k « k d » a o « > k s o l« o a o « k o « » « » « ! k « k a » « » « » > s » « k « H Peate On Earth <19 3 9 » n p x 4» 2 I >1939 December Bad Month For Pedestrian Accidents HOLIDAY GREETINGS W a rn in g O regonians th a t the m onth o f December, 1938, had been Ihe w o rs t m o n th o f the year fo r pedestrian accidents, E a rl Snell, GRANTS PASS BRANCH secretary o f state, today urged m o t o ris ts and pedestrians to exercise UNITED STATES NATIONAL BANK great care d u rin g the present m onth >.>4V4d»4d»4ZBl4d»«d»4dS'4d»4d»«dP4dB'4*<^«dB'4dB'4dr4dBl4dP«dBl4d»«dP4dB'ldB>«dB'4*IO in the hope o f p re v e n tin g a re p itl- ■ P M rM rM C M rM eM 'w rksrisrkdrM rtkrktf'tdF ktfM rksrksrkW 'tsrkdrk.irM rkgrkgrk*: tio n o f last Decem ber's re co rd .
