Show This decisive world-historical birthday t ! place in a small inn of a small village of a smah I province of a small nation. Dean Stanley, in th' Intermountain Christian Advocate. f The birth of Christ did not take place in a . small inn. We believe it is our duty to take c"5 I nizance of such unhistorical assertions, but w would carefully refrain from remarking error? d j grammar and syntax. According to the Sen?' ; tures there was no room in the inn, or what i-: i probably more correct. Joseph and Mary, be'"? such poor, humble personages, were not wanted a? j the town's hostelry. The guests might be shockc'1 at having such questionable, unknown character-and character-and a fat, sleek-looking, landlord could not a.ffjr'' to offend any. of his prosperous patrons by givtf'P Joseph and Mary charitable protection from the bitter night of December. Christ was consequently born in a manger and as a manger is always m 5 . stable, therefore the Savior was born in a stab!''-It stab!''-It would be a good thing for the estimable ecIitor of the Intermountain Christian Advocate to ?''r historical matter correct and to qualify particu'; propositions. j I |
