OCR Text	Show Ointment Named in Bible Is Extracted from Shrub Native to United States America shares with the Holy Land the small plant from which comes the oil that recalls to mind vents of 19 centuries ago, when the glories of the first Christmas eve were revealed to shepherds on Bethlehem's Beth-lehem's hills. I From this plant, which abounds in Minnesota's north woods and other oth-er places in the United States, is taken spikenard, highly-perfumed ointment referred to in the King James version of the Bible as used to anoint the feet of Jesus. So this small, unassuming plant played a small part in events which gavs us Christmas, most cheerful ! holiday of nations.
