The Birth of Our Lord
By "TIED"
As we look at the Palestine of to-
day and the fightink that isgoing on
there between the Jews and Arabs
we can hardly realize thatit was in
Bethlehem of Judea of that same
Palestine where Christ was born to
'bring Peace to the world, On ac
-
,count of sin that. Peace has never
been realized, The second coming of
Christ may be the only means of
^bringing that coveted peace.
Will we not just try to forget the
"struggle in that land which, has given
•so much to the world and live at
least for a little while in the time
and may we realize that you and. I
have a part in the frustration of
that plan which Was to have meant
so, much to the world. There is no
one without sin and that inductee
each one of us.
The birth of Christ was lowly.
His coming was first announced to
shepherds who were about their
work tending their sheep. It is esti-
mated that they were about a mile
from Bethlehem where . the great
event had taken place. Had they not
beenabout their nightly task they
would not have seen the angel who
When our Saviour pine to the world came to make the announcement,

nor would they have beheld the
Glory ` of God shining round about
them. Very often we miss great
blessings when we are not about our
regular work.
The shep'herds were sore, afraid,
but the angel assured ',them there
was no cause for fear and explained
the great importance of the birth of
Christ. Following the departure of
the Heavenly host the shepherds set
out to go to the Inn or Kahn.
Previous to this time Joseph and
Mary had left the northern home in
Nazareth and had travelled with
great ' difficulty on account of
Mary's condition to Bethlehem
where they had been . ordered by
Caesar Augustus to report to be
taxed as members of ,the House of
David.
Travelling in the East was slow at
any time but this journey was much
more difficult. The others in the
group reached their destination ear
lier and when Mary and Joseph ar-
rived there was no place for them in
the Inn or Kahn, The structure of
this building was somewhat peculiar.
There was an outer wall, the centre
was kept for cattle, Then there was
a platform which although, divided
from the centre by arches was prac-
tically open. Here the travellers
placed their mats to rest for the
night. Those who were late and
could not get into the raised portion
had to spend the night with the cat-
tle. It was there in a rude limestone
grotto, among hay and straw spread
for food and a resting place fair
the animals that Mary and Joseph
finally had to take shelter. They
were weary with the. journey far
from home, in the midst of strang-
ers, on a chilly winter night and in
circumstances devoid of . all earthly
comfort that Jesus Christ, the Sa-
viour of the world was born.
When we realize that Jesus could
ave come as a king, and yet He was
orn under the most humble eir•-
umstances we can see that the world
annot be saved .by human power or
y force. The lessons we should have
learned, from the past two wars have
ot brought peace to the world.
hould there be another conflict—we
ope , that God in His mercy will
save 'us from 'that—it will be much
worse than • anything wehave yet
een. Neither money nor power can
uy salvation. The poorest . of the
ing's subjects are just as, eligible
for Eternal life as the multimillion -
re. No matter what our walk in
fe inay be, salvation is ours if we
will just take it. At the 'present time
ere is a great deal being grid about
e high cost of living but how
ankful we are that we have to pay
othing for salvation, We are free
take it or leave it just as we.
ease. What a sad thing it will be
r us if we refuse it!
The world to -day is looking at
alestine and the struggle there
ems to be given first place' over
e birth of Christ who meant that
ings were to be so different. In-
ead of the terrible fighting which
soccurred between the Jews and
abs; Christ meant that there
ould be peace.
