(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. • And Joseph also went up from Gali- lee, out of the city of Nazareth, into 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 so it was, that while they • were there, the days were accom- plished that she could be delivered. And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same coun- try shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, 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 tidings of great joy, which shall be to all peo- Day, a Saviour ple. 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 heaven, 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 man- ger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all who had heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds return- ed, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and 'seen, as it was told unto them. —The End. •.r",,r .••••, 4), I ti r).). .,•;* „r"' ; •••rrf SEEN IN THE COUNT PAPERS Relatives On Lost Plane Mr. Harry Cleven, of Calgary, brother-in-law of Mrs. Charles MeNaughton, Exeter, was a pas- senger on the ill-fated plane which was lost Sunday evening in the mountainous regions of British Columbia. — Exeter Times -Advo- cate.
