THE NATIVITY "And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people; For there is born to you this dav in the citv of David, a Saviour which is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:10-11. Caesar Aliciistlis wa.q nittiner nn the throne of the Roman empire, and the touch of his finger could well nigh set in motion the machin ery of government over the whole then civilized world. He was proud of his cower, and one of his favorite occupations was to revise a great register, which he had compiled, of the popula tions and the revenues of his vast dominions. So, as Luke says, Au gustus had issued an edict "that all the world should be taxed." And one of the countries affected by this edict was Palestine, whose kingHerod, was a vassal of Augus tus. The edict set the whole land in motion; for, in accordance with census was taken at the central points of residence of the original Twelve Tribes. Among those whom the edict of Augustus drove out upon the high ways of that day were a humble pair in the Galilean village of Naz areth Joseph the carpenter of the town, and Mary, his espoused wife. They had to go a journey of nearly a hundred miles to reach the prop er place of their registry, for though peasants, they had the blood of kings In their veins, and belonged to the ancient and royxl town of Bethlehem. Day after day, the emperor's will, like an invisible hand, drove them southward along the weary road, till at last they climbed the rocky ascent to the gate of the town Joseph terrified with anxiety; Mary well-nigh dead with the fatigue and strain of travel and her approach ing motherhood. They reached the inn, but found it crowded to the doors, no room for them there. Thus it was they finally found sanc tuary in the inn stable and there Mary brought forth her first-born, and herself wrapped Him in swad dling clothes and laid Him in the manger. And thus the manner of the birth of the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords! Next morning the bustle and hurry of the crowd broke out anew in the inn court and the stable yard; the residents PINE CITY ALMA NEILL.

Lotus Robison was attending to matters of business here one day last week, coming out from his mountain ranch with a dressed hog which he sold to Hiram Johnson. One cheering note in that tragic Tokyo store fire was the fact that the place was filled with Christmas holiday shoppers. The orient has adopted practically all the evil cus toms of the so-called Christian Oc cident, It is pleasant to note that Christmas has also invaded Japan If its spirit can be caught there may be. these vexing International problems will eventually solve themselves. Only "eventually," however, for nineteen centuries of lip service to Christ has not brought the white race noticeably near the mlllenlum. -Baker Democrat-Herald.

How little we know, oftentimes, how great things are going on about us; or have just taken place, while we have been busy about comparatively little things; Joseph and Mary alone anew tnis tremendous secret that on her, the bride of the carpenter of Nazareth, had been conferred the honor of being the mother of Him who was the Messiah of her race; the Saviour of the world; and the Son of God!

"But when the fullness of time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under th law that he might redeem them that were unaer tne law, that we might receive the adoption of sons." Gal. 4:4. In this one sentence 13 sum med up the purpose of God in the incarnation God does not need to hurry. His plans are scheduled according to time. How wonder ful is the movement of God In his tory. Jesus came some two thou sand years ago as the mediator be tween uoa ana man and he is still occupying that position. God could not come down to men save thru Jesus, and man could not go to God save tnrougn Jesus. Christ came in the hour of suDremest need Wo are likely to think that Jesus was uum amiast singing ana the ring ing of bells at Bethlehem.
