X Centuries have drifted Into oblivion since Joseph, the carpenter, and Mary, his wife, went up to the little “City of David,” in Judea, Went there because they were of the “House of David” and the pligrim- age must be made as a matter of duty. . There was an expectancy on Joseph and Mary that night before; a look- ing forward to the happening of a great event, With the breaking of the dawn what a thrill of rapture came to Mary us she looked upon her new-born ‘Son cradled in the rough-hewn trough of stone that served as'a feeding. place for beasts of burden, What a wonderful birthplace for Him who was to be the Burden Bearer of the World. ' Nineteen ‘hundred years removed from that other night before, in the present, we now, in spirit, go up to the “City of David,” because we are of His people, We have that same expectancy the night before of a great event that is to happen. a We thrill with rapture as the dawn breaks upon the anniversary of the birth of Mary's Son. In gilded ion or unpainted ‘hovel, on the city’s crowded streets, cold and barren peaks or on the prairies’ wide and there lives no human so steeped in riches, in degrada- tion, in poverty, but deep down into the suul comes that thrill. Comes a fetling of better nature, of kindliness and friendliness; comes a fesling of brotherly love for all mankind; comes the knowledge that when the ‘end ‘shall. come each will lay his burdens at the foot of the ‘Orths made sacred bby: -theemiy -Mary'y Son.
