about a famous manger; which was

to talk about -a stone manger, hewn
out of the solid rock, in which near-

born babe. About this manger' the
wise men from the east and the shep-
herds gathered, and over it the an-
gels sang' the first lellaby in the
Chant of the Christmas song, This
Stone nra(114 was 'the manger of

" ut while ' we inay tay in this
'Christmas sermon. to picture the
manger Christ, yet we must becare-
fill not to weaken our picture by re,
citing too. mech. •the false legends and
the fictitious stories that have been
written about the Bethlehem ...khan.
We must remember that the, . many

positive hindrance and' confusion to
the gospel.. student, - as the wropg
use of hooks can .schnetiates, weaken
.the intellect of a modern profeSslon-

On Clet, 20, 1$95, I was brought
face to Mee with the true teachings
• Of the manger Christ as never be-
fore. It WAS one of the most over-
when/ling days or my We.. It hap-
pened in litethlehen3, of Judaea,. I
was Sitting in the Greek Catholic
church, which is oupposeti to have
beca •ereeted directly upon the ideate,
• nal spot where Jesus was born, la
that hallowed place I had read over
and ov r again e aCCOant t
nativity until it seemed as though
the walls of the eastern edifice were
changed into, a stable and the light
which was burniag upon the. altar
Was a candlelight held in the carport-,
ter Joseph's hand, and while I read
the nativity account over and over
X sOddenly heard the eon whisperings
93 a chant. I listened and at lirst
said: "It Cannot be. No; ant
listening only to •the echoes of ray
own, imagination." But the faint
chanting began to grow louder. Then
• X saw a raultitude of, people coming
throagh the church door as the shep-
herds must have • once crowded
through the entrance of the ancient
. stable, Then the procession °tune
nearer and nearer and laid at ma
teet the body of a little. child. As I
sat there and looked at the' face of
the dead baby. NVIIOSO funeral. was
now taking place,erey heart 'went out
• In sympathy to the 'poor mother. I
seemed to be carried back to the
timo when the Divine Babe lay in
VOA stable manger, shielded by the
Xnother love,' which is always a divine
love, and, standing by the 13ethlehein
Manger, with the. dead body -of that
, village babe at my feet, I Could re.
You in the mane surroun&
ings could have realized, that .0cal's
love for all his children is a tender,
pleading, yearning :love, divine
love which "passeth' all underatana-
ing" and which abides with us
• throtigh life mail beyond death.
' The Manger Christ was given as a
hUman example for sinful man to fol-
low this side of the grave. He came
to. prove that by the grace of God it
ie possible for a liunian' heing to
overcome Sin; 'he came to prove it
beeeuse Christ was. born just is we
are, bone of our bone; and flesh of
our flesh. He was tempted just as
