They were .very weary when they reached the little town. Joseph wmt to the hotel to got a room where thegr eo«ld rest. But poor Joseph was disappointed, for so many other people had come to the little town that -day the rooms were nil taken. No doobt Joseph and Mary felt lonely and discouraged as night came on. At lost they went to a stable to And a place to sleep. Alere In a manger the Savior of the World was born. This was a very lowly place Indeed for the Prince of Peace to be born. Prophets had been foretelling his coming for many years. People were expecting him to come, but In some very grand way. 8ome thought he would make the kings leave their thrones and himself be the ruler. Kit he came as a sweet,- dear little babe. Now, you wonder how the people heard of his birth. In those long, long ago days when there were no telegraphs or telephones? Perhups you think so important news as this would be announced publicly by the highest officials or the richest people In town and a holiday declared. But not so. The first news of his birth waa told to people engaged in a very humble and lowly work. Methinks It must have been a beautiful warm night. Far out on the hills of old Jndea the shepherds were herding their sheep. No doubt they were talking tbgether about the big crowd , in Bethlehem that evening. Suddenly ^h® 8car*; there appeared In the sky a bright light. The shepherds were afraid. An Engoln . k.. angel spoke to them and said, "Be Al. Patzke not afraid; I bring you good tidings of Richardson . great Joy which shall be to all people." Bickler :,*>TVThen he told them that Jesus had Gormaii^i been born In Bethlehem; that they ? would find him, a babe, wrapped In swaddling clothes lying in a manger with his mother, Mary. Suddenly there appeared with the angel a host of other angels singing, "Olory to God In the highest-and on earth peace, good will to men." After the angels were gone the shep- Schoel herds talked over the wondrous news. Then they hurried away to Bethlehem to see If it was true. Sure enough, there were Mary and Joseph and the little babe, Jesus. They then went out to tell others. God also told the news of his gift to the world by placing a new stqfr in the sky. The wise men saw it and followed its shining rays until they, too, found the "Babe of Bethlehem." These wise men worshiped him gave him gifts of gold, myrrh frankincense. , . :W«he? - This was the first Christmas. two of these have chosen name! which they will roll this winter.
