"And the angel said unto them,
Be not afraid; for behold, I bring

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

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
