Where Christ Was Born
A Present Journey Into
llcthlehem today is a small city of
about S.000 Inhabitants. It is only
six miles from Jerusalem, a pleasant
afternoou carriage ride.
It is the oldest city In the world,
for, unlike the other cities of the
ancient world, It never has been de
stroyed. Protected by Its insignifi
cance, It has o'caped unscathed tbo
succession of 'destructive Invasions
which wiped out Jerusalem and the
greater cities.
it is a remarkable fact that the
nonulution of Bethlehem Is altogether
Christian, there being no Moharame-
dar.i except -the soldiers and police,
and uo Jews except some enterprising
merchants from New York and Chi
cago. It is also remaraaoie maw u
people of Bethlehem continue to do
ervo tho reputation tlioy have borne
for nearly forty centuries for their
peculiar beauty.
Tho young men of Bethlehom today
have the samo ruddy cheeks and pos
sess a degrco of physical beauty far
beyond that of any other Syrians.
As tho races have cuanged com
plotely tills peculiar healthful beauty (embroidery, and the like. Oa theeaM
Is duo, no doubt, to tho fact that. sldo of tho grotto Is a recess, tk'fMC
Beinielwm la tho center of a small .of which Is tho uncovered Mtftral
region of wouderful fertility, and Its
peoplo get enough to eat, which can-
cot be sntd of tho inhabitants of many
other towns of Palestine.
Bethlehem's narrow, steop and slip
pery tticots are not distinguishable
from those of any other small Syrian
town But every stranger, every vis
itor, and every pilgrim goes through
them quickly to that foitloss like
group of buildings which Is known
i tho Church of tho Nativity.
Unlike the Church of tho Holy
Sepulchre In Jerusalem, thcro Is no
disturbing doubt. There is every rea
son to bellove thnt tho cave over
which the church Is built Is actually
the very place of tho nativity of the
Lord, and that historical truth Justi
