Minister Burch, at Lis bon, reported today.. Bitter Rivalry Always Causes Trouble at Christmas. (Harold J. Shepstone, in Wide World Magazine.) Although must has been written up on the subject of Christmas in Bethle hem and we have had glowing ac counts of its gorgeous -processions and ceremonies, no one appears . to have been, bold enough to tell the world of the distressing scenes which may be witnessed in the one spot on- earth where man would expect peace to reign at that glad season of the year. Christmas is a long business at Bethlehem.- First come the Latin ceremo nies, which take place December 25, followed thirteen days later by the Greek services, while thirteen days la ter comes the Armenian Christmas feast. The services are held in the Church of the Nativity, one of the most remarkable edifices in the world. The Holy of Holies of the church is the Grotto or Manger. It Is a small underground chamber said to be the actual site of the stable where the Saviour wa shorn. Just in front of the altar is a silver star, let into the mar ble floor, said to mark the exact spot of the Nativity. In the various cere monies the bitterest rivalry exists be tween the various sects, and even dur ing the ordinary services Turkish sol diers have to be on guard day and night' in the church to prevent strife. On special occasions such as Christmas time, an extra force of soldiers is nec essary If order is to be maintained. It Is during Christmas festivities that the church Is cleaned. To prevent quarrels among the rival priests, the authorities many years ago set down definite rules as to what portions of the walls, pillars, floors, etc., this or that body may clean or siveep. Despite these elaborate precautions, however, trouble often arises. During thet Christmas festivities of 1913 a deplo:-s able scene was witnessed in the sa cred building. Two sects disputed thf right to clean a certain portion of the church. They went to the governor of Bethlehem and he decided a certain sect possessed the right to do the work. When they stared to sweep, however, the rival priests flew at them and the soldiers had to hold one sect back while the -other did the sweeping. TRADES COUNCIL ELECTS.
