which greatly puzzled the people of
that time. A definite challenge for
discussions among the people of that,
day was where his place of appear-
would be. The prophet, Isaiah
pointed to Bethlehem of Judea;
while other scriptures said “Out of
Egypt I have called my son,” or “He
shall be called a Nazarine.” At
this time the problem proved espe
cially perplexing to the generations
of Rabbi and Scribes who tried to
make the theories concerning the
place of birth coincides.
The Coming of the Messiah
the Common subject of conversation
among the Jews and friends of the
Jews. Another unusual occurrence
at this time was the reign of abso
lute peace. Peace in civil affairs, in
political affairs and in military af
fairs was evidenced. This had nev
er before been witnessed and has
never since been witnessed. The
cause of this universal peace
that there was one strong government
which controlled from the heart of
Asia to the central part of Africa,
and from Northern Scotland to Sun
ny Italy. This government had its
center at Rome, and this Roman
government was one posses
strength, dignity, wealth, good judg
ment and excellent administration.
Dr. Rondthaler said that in one of
the English Museums, a very rare
collection of Roman relics from the
isles of Scotland and Ireland may be
found. These relics are excellent ex
amples of the high type of civiliza
tion which was Roman. Among the
relics, is one of special interest,
is a copper tablet about the siz(
two hands which is beautifully
graved and contains the honorable
discharge of a Roman soldier then
serving in Brittany.
This tremendous dictation had
lenced all war. This was a “tens,e
and intense” moment; and it wai
this time that the background of
Christmas had its beginning.
Dr. Rondthaler clearly discussed
the system of taxation used by the
Romans. The Roman government
contributed to the spiritual setting
of Christmas in that their form of
taxation necessitated Joseph
Mary’s making a journey to Beth
lehem, since they were of the house
and lineage of David.
Dr. Rondthaler depicted vividly
the journey of Joseph and Mary
from Nazareth to Bethlehem with
lonesomeness, its desolation, and
anxiety concerning the future. ]
also gave a beautiful description
Bethlehem and its surrounding cov
try.
Dr. Rondthaler said that one
the marked peculiarities of the Art
galleries abroad is how much the
story of The Nativity is represented.
It is also a marked characteristic of
the middle age artists to portray the
shelter in terms of their own na
tional architecture. There is a
sweetness and genuineness in this
fact “since they have sought to bring
as an immediate and associative feel
ing this Nativity to which we have
now come in the narrative.”
In closing. Dr. Rondthaler said,
“It is very fitting that Luke, the
physician in the second chapter of
his Biblical account, should leave us
with the Wise Men or the wondering
neighbors to find out about the story
which is the most vital contribution
to the real Christmas spirit.”
