"Yes, my child, very pretty."
"Were you popularT"
"Oh, yes, very popular. 1 was the

"Didn't any young men ever come I
to call on you?"
"Oh. yes, my dear. Lots of them."
"Then, auntie, why Is It that you
never married?"
"Nobody ever proposed to me, my

"Why not?".
"I don't know. But I've often
thought It must have been the high
cost of living that snared the young
men off In those days."

Mike, one of the unemployed, was

a number of questions, the employer
asked, "What's your name?"
"MacGonlgal, sorr."
"Spell It."
"Mo no!" Mo a- g." Mike stuck.

"I didn't know that you lived on the

Mr. Wilkins waB near the exploding

"That man Tompkins." he burst out,

"Why?" asked his neighbor, curi

evening and borrowed my gun to kill
a dog that kept him awake nights."
"Well, what of that?"

No room in the Inn. Is there a
more pathetic sentence anywhere in
the Scriptures? The humble peas
ants who had come from Galilee and
who sought shelter in one of the vil
lage caravanserai were denied this
privilege; so they both took shelter
In a stable; and there Jesus was
born. No room for the King! The
pathos of it is almost too deep for
words.
But that was always the answer
while Jesus was alive: he himself de
scribed it when he said: Foxes have
holes and birds of the air have nests,
but the Son of Man hath not where
to Jay his head. Misunderstood at
home, neglected by his friends, de
serted by his disciples, betrayed by
one of them, and crucified by the
rulers Nazareth, Capernaum, Jerusa

the same; that first night on earth

What is wrong? Why do we keep

No, not usually. Let us look at
Bethlehem, tor there is a slight paral

humble would have rejoiced at the
great honor which tame to Mary, and
any home however lowly would have
been made ready for Jesus. Any
ruler, rabbi, or priest then in Bethle

essary to welcome Jesus, if be had
known. But it was a time when every
available space was taken by pil
