St. Luke Chapters I and II
And the angel Gabriel was sent
from God unto a city of Galilee, named
Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man
whose name was Joseph, of the house
of David; and the virgin’s name was
Mary.
And the angel came in unto her,
and said, Hail, thou art highly favour
ed, the Lord is with thee; blessed art
thou among women.
And when she saw him she was
troubled at his saying, and cast in her
mind what manner of salutation this
should be.
And the angel said unto her, Fear
not Mary; for thou hast found favour
with God.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in
thy womb, and bring forth a son, and
thou shalt call his name JESUS.
He shall be great, and shall be call
ed the Son of the Highest; and the Lord
God shall give unto him the throne of
his’ father David and he shall reign over
the house of Jacob forever; and of his
kingdom there shall be no end.
Then said, Mary unto the angel,
How shall,this be?
And the angel answered and said
unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come
upon thee, and the power of the High
est shall overshadow there, therefore
also that hply thing which shall be born
of thee shall be called the Son of God.
. . . And it came to pass in those
days, that there went out a decree from
Caesar-Augustus, that all the world
should be taxed.
And all went to be taxed, every one
into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from
Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, in-

to Judea, unto the city of David which
is called Bethlehem; (because he was
of the house and lineage of David) to be
taxed with Mary his espoused wife,
being great with child.
And she brought forth her first
born son, and wrapped him in swad
dling clothes, and laid him in a man
ger; because there was no room for them
in the inn.
And there were in the same coun
try shepherds abiding in the field, keep
ing watch over their flocks by night.
And 10, the angel of the Lord came
upon them, and the glory of the Lord
shone round about them; and they were
sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear
not; for, behold, I bring you good tid
ings of great joy, which shall be to all
people.
For unto you Is born this day in the
city of David a Saviour, which is Christ
the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you;
Ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God, and saying, Glory to God
in the highest, and on earth peace, good
will toward men.
And it came to pass, as the angels
were gone away from them into hea
ven, the shepherds said one to another,
Let us now go even unto Bethlehem,
and see this thing which is come to
pass, which the Lord hath made known
unto us.
And they came with haste, and
found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe
lying in a manger.
And when they had been it, they
made known abroad saying which was
■told them concerning this child.
And all they that heard it wonder
ed at-those things which were told them
by the shepherds.
And the shepherds returned, glori
fying and praising God for all the things
that they had heard and seen, as it was
told unto them.

To Use Soft Corn.
Local growers who have com
on hand that is not mature and
dry enough to store in the nor
mal crib, might use it as high
moisture 'ground ear corn in. the
silo, or permit fattening hogs
to run into the field and e:t the

to store, and would be very ex
pensive to dry, these methods
could gat some return from it.
The high moisture corn could
be ground and put on top of

To Control Parasites....
Many groups of both oattSp
and hogs are carrying high bod#
lice infection. If this conditU)**
is permitted to further develop
during the winter months, the
animals will become unthrifj#
and will not make efficient bod#
gains or milk production. Sev
eral treatments two weeks apart
may be needed in severe cased
to eliminate the lice. Parasite
infected cattle 'are not the mosjl
profitable; get rid of the Moo
and make greater profits.
