To the casual observer, it is ju|t another typical night in Bethlehem,
sleepy town of many generations. Excepting, of course, that the popu-l
lation Is more than double, for all the descendants of David have come
to register as ordered by Herod. For many, there is no room.
And yet, there is more about this (tight! And thhre are some whose
faith and wisdom give them aye* to see. Hear the hour of midnight,
a darkened sky suddenly shimmers with a light of ethereal beauty,
and angels appear to sing s great psalm:
“Glory la the highest,
Aad on earth, peace to men of good wHI.”
A new star fines Itself to brilliance, near the edge of town, bathing
In its light the stable where a Galilean carpenter named Joseph has
taken refuge with his bride; a queenly young girl named Mary. For
them, there had been no room.
The star rests above the humble shelter, sending down golden rays
that illuminate the area in a strange, unearthly manner.
In the distance appear <a group of Magi, wise men of Persia. They
have followed the now resting star and are heavily laden with gifts of
gold—presents for a new-born king. Along the roads hear the Shouta
of the citizens, led by angels, who come to adore.
There in the stable, wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a
manger, the Christ-child awaits. 4
more class, In which Mias Jean
ette Atkins is home room teacher,
celebrated with a weiner roast
given on Tuesday afternoon at
the Community House.
