The Roman Catholics obtained possession
of the principal control of the Church of
the Nativity In the year H1S9. upon the suc
cess ot the Crusaders invasion of Fais
tlne. Baldwin, king of Jerusalem, was
crowned in th Church of the Nativity on
Christmas day, UlT The church was made
the ar at of the Episcopal see of Bethlehem
in the twelfth century and so continued
until 1C1 when the Greeks and other orien
tal sects disposeesbed the Lanna The
Catholics wer not again permitted to have
any share in the church until 1ST.2. Ever
since the time when St Loins was king of
Franca the French nation has been the
titular protector of the Latin Christiana
in Palestine. This fiction was made a
ralijy in 1F52 by Emperor Napoieon III,
who obtained from the sultan of Turkay
a ukase giving the Franciscan Catholic or
der a portion of tiia Church of tlia Na

had stolen the silver srar which marked
the birthplace of the. Savior, and the Cath

and with the aid of Mohammedan soldiers
the peace is preserved.
The people of Bethlehem Ttnow nothing
of Santa Claus; they have no custom of
giving ChrlHtmas glft3; thoy have no
Christmas trees, no mistletoe, no holly
wreaths. All 'liese things we have Inher
ited from our pagan ancestors of northern
Europe. In Bethlehem Christmas Is the
annual celebration of tha visit of the three
wise men. of the appearance of the heav

of Jesus. And to them Jesus is not only
tha son of God. the redeemer of the world,
the founder of their religtoti and the moat

Jesus the son of Mary, who waa born in
