On the evening of July 5, a considerable number of that rst group attended the trustees' dinner in the Flail of Rhodes house, on Sontb. Parks road. Nearly all the 220 jnests were old Rhodes scholars.

But the academic, vital and fundamental as It is. is really the reverse side of the medal. Oxford is more than classrooms, and degrees, and rules and regulations, and their exceptions. F. D. 11,. no doubt exaggerates when he says: "For beauty and for romance the first place among ell the cities of the Cnlted Kingdom must be given to Oxford." But one must search far to find an equal of the mellow beauty of its winding streets and Its classic buildings, or of the pastoral charm of the meadows and walks along the Cherwell and the Isis, or of the romantic associations of the place, from Alfred the Great's day to the World war.

Commentators point out that there Is nothing in the Bible to justify the popular belief that Jesus was actually born ln a manger. Allusions ln the Scriptures to the place of Christ's nativity are few and obscure. Matthew 2:11 says that when the Wise Men "were come into the house, they $aw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshiped him." Luke mentions the manger three churches and other stately buildings which border it; for High street is Oxford and, incidentally, one of the most beautiful streets in the world. Beginning at Carfax, the center of town, it curves gently for half a mile or more to the Magdalen bridge, unfolding vistas of spires, and stout Etone walls, and cornices, and towers, and courtyards, and a thousand and one things, each more lovely than the last, until one begins to regret that such delight cannot last and must dwindle at the end to $5,000 spontaneous origin might envy. to the east.

But at the end of the High is reserved the most charming view of all. Rising gracefully from the buildings of Magdalen college Is an exquisite Gothic bell tower, from which each year a Seventeenth century eucharis-ti- c hymn Is sung at sunrise on the first of May. Directly opposite are the verdant, spacious grounds of the Botanic garden, the oldest in England, and, to close the picture, beyond is the River Cherwell, with Its screen of bordering elms and willows and the stately arched bridge which carries the High toward London town. Some prefer to reverse the picture just drawn, and it is charming the other way. But Carfax, with its noisy bustle and confusion, brings one just a bit too suddenly to earth. It is better to linger on Magdalen bridge, where one may drink deep of scenes that belong to another world truly a world of romance and beauty.

In chapter 2, Terse 7 we read : "And she brought forth her first born son, and wrapied him ln swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them lu the inn." According to Luke 2:12 the angel said to the shepherds: "Ye shall tind the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." Luke 2:10 says, "And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger." These passages are often construed as signifying that the birth of Jesus actually took place ln a manger. A manger, properly speaking. Is a trough or box from which animals eat. Some authorities suppose that the manger in question was in the courtyard of an inn or caravansary. The typical oriental inn of that day consisted of a rude, unfurnished shelter surrounding a court ln which the camels, horses and other beasts of burden were picketed. Travelers frequently slept outside in the court when the Inn was crowded or when they could not afford to pay for shelter. It should be noted that the Bible nowhere mentions a stable in this connection. Pictures which represent the wise men as worshipiug the noly Infant in a stable surrounded by cat tie and horses are purely Imaginary. An early legend says that an ass ant an ox were ln the stable at the time of Christ's birth. Be that as it may, a local tradition dating back at leas to the Second century places the manger and nativity In a grotto or cave near Bethlehem. In 165 A. D. St Justin wrote: "Having failed to find any lodging In the town, Joseph sought shelter in a neighboring cavern of Bethlehem." About half a century later a celebrated ecclesiastical writer named Origen declared that "at Bethlehem is shown the grotto where He first saw the light." This grotto, It Is supposed, was used as a place of natural shelter by the shepherds and their flocks. St. Helena, mother of the Great, Identified a grotto near Bethlehem as the birthplace of Jesus and had It converted Into a chapel. Pathfinder Magazine.
