tlens, who, bernuse we were Lern in
n certain environment, have cen the
hnblt of Christmas I Hut are rather
llke the innkeeper and his wife in
Bethlehem en the night Jeseph knocked
for ndmlttance for himself nud Mnr
If there had been a room no doubt
these- late-comers would h.ive had it,
nnd the Child would bave been born
there, making the Inn for nil time the
most glorious shrine of the weild. Uut
It se happened that en account of the
registration for the new tax many per
sons had knocked that day at the Inn
and taken up lodging tln.re. until it
wna crowded te its full capacity. It the
Innkeeper's wife bad known what wns
Impending within an hour, It wns un un
hcllevnble that she would net Irive
turned seme ene out te make room.
There is no reason te think of hr or
her husband as cruel. They had nn
opportunity te take Christ in, but they
did net knew it wns I'hrM, nor in
deed that a Child wns te be born that
very night of the tired woman vvhoe
husband krecked fe bite at the gate
of their crowded court) ard.
I
N SnOUT, se far as the- records go,
matter that night beyond peeing te It,
perhaps, that shelter of some kind wim
given te these strangers. And It was
net an Inhuman kind of shelter, ( ither,
even for what was unexpectedly te oc
cur within nn hour or two. Se, the
crucial choice as te what thev would
de for Jeseph and Mary and the Child
would ceme next day, nnd the days
after that, when what had happened
would begin te dawn upon them U.v the
light of surrounding testimony. First,
the renl nature of the parentage from
an earthly standpoint. Every ene in
Bethlehem wns presumedly of the tribe
of Judah, but JeH'pli and Marv were
of the kingh line, Secondly, the tes
timeny of the shepherds who had seen
n vi"ion, nnd of the wIm men who
brought gif..3, and of the ancient man
and woman nt the TYmele. who bad
prophesied as te the heuenly nature
of the Child. And. lastlv. the sharp
rear of ilered, who could brook no
rival heir te the throne, and attempted
te de nway with the Child bv a whole
sale masacre of all the children under
one year in the town. AH these things
would come early te the Knowledge of
the innkeeper and his wife, and con
cerning them tkej did have a wide
power of choice ns te whetb- ''pv
would worship Him with the shep
herds and the wise men, nnd regard
Him with Ilered as the legitimate i
claimant te a throne, or continue te I
pursue their business and pleasure as
though He had never knocked at their I
deer. I
With us who nre horn in the riirU
tlanfalt or who" borue, Uef " f'nt
first we have no individual choice either I
the inn is full ami then L , no reW for I
n stranger, or the shrine is already made'
nnd prepared fnr the Child. Before vv'
niffleld enough te knew, thnt -Urintl
has been prepare.1, or the shrine has
been otherwise engaged. And vve ,n
go en ouite a while taking the Vlinne ,
for granted paving a sort of homage
or habit there or we can go en In- , permiu
definlteh considering it no shrine, but " hnt de veu think of the idea'"
only a spire room for gt.ie-.ta of en Alines enthuvi im. that fnr a mo me
sort or another But In enhir (jse it ment had been clouded by the dnngcr of

She had never thought of Hutchlns in
n peryjnnl way, she had looked up te
him, ndmired him, feared him, but the
thought of him as a possible lever had
never occurred te her.
Perhaps something of what was go

The Best Time te Feel the Sfiirtt

middle-of a crowded
store, where-children
shouted a t

busy mothers nnd
worried fa triers
hurried about ana
wondered, vf h or e
weary salespeople
answered the same
Questions for the
ertleth time, and
showed the same wares patiently for the
forty-hundredth.
It suggested Christmas, of course,
for the decorations were all of laurel,
of holly, of Santa Clnus and of bright
tinsel.
But it wns a noisy Christmas, a ma
terial Christmas, a Christmas that had
its drawbacks.
Yet the setting in which Santa Claus
appeared te greet tU children gave an
entirely different effect.
The background represented snow
covered reefs, there were icicles here
nnd there, with the sun just rising,
casting n rosy glow ever the whole
scene.
I'lne branches were a-wanged, Just te
show around the edge of the throne
which Santa Claus would-occupy when
he nrrlvcd.
Behind these, between them and the
sunrise, there was seme mechanical
device which sent just nn occasional,
lazy snowfleko floating out of nowhere
nnd back again.
The rest of the "set" may have
caught the cye mero quickly, en ac
count of its brilllnnce and beauty, but
this ene llttle detail bad caught the
spirit of Christmas.
TT WAS becouse of the peacefulncss
of it.
Somehow yen could stand there in
the midst of nil the bustle nnd hurry
and worry about 5011 nnd be lifted
stiaight into the midst of Christmas by
the sight of theso aimless, silent, vvhite
flakes drifting up into the rosy glow
of that snow-filled dawn.
It's the peace of Christmas, net the
day or its celebration, but the idea,
the fnct thnt it stands for, which makes
it se beautiful.
Yeu can celebrate It best, I always
feel, just nt midnight, when the chimes
nre ringing out their joyous, solemn
message, or with the sunrise.
AT MIDNIGHT, there's nn expectant
hush Just before the clocks begin
te strike.
Then with the first stroke thnt breaks
the silence, n sense of content nnd
deep thankfulness, Just for being alive,
pours into 3 our heart.
Later en jeu hear the sound of carols
sung by unseen choristers, their voice
echoing in blended harmony through
the frosty nlr.
At any ether tlme perhaps it wouldn't
meve jeu he deeply; but the night, the
singing nnd the chimes, combined with
the knewledge jeu Iinve that this is
Christmas morning, bringing its message
of peace en enrth, bring out nil the
simplicity and humility in you, se that
ou fnlrIy trcmble with the wonder of
