But we know of it, and may God grant that if we cannot go with the shepherds to Bethlehem, we may one day go to the right hand of God and worship himJ there, who that night lay a little child in Mary’s .—Dr. * ’ I N„* place huilt, like Bethlehem, in ynany cases against thg soft limestone rock it often happens that -tjhe existence o f a cave where ™~the house was to be was a great at­ traction since it offered a ready made*j dry, abeye ground cellar as well as'a specially suitable spot for the household animals and for a storeroom. I t would seem that Jo­ seph was at last able fo get Tpoin in some such back portion of a house, and there, we are told, Mary bore her divine Son. A cave below the high altar of the Church of the Nativity is now shown, as the very place where this ‘angust event transpired; a little re­ cess, .shaped like a clam Bhell, its floor of marble wrought into a star in the center, bearing-in Latin the words, “Here Jesus Christ Was Born of the Virgin Mary."
