This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: THE NATIVITY AFTER the birth of John a decree went forth from Caesar Augustus, the Roman Emperor, that all the world?that is, the whole Roman Empire?should be enrolled for the purpose of taxation. St. Luke says, this enrollment was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria; which is interpreted to mean that it was fully carried into effect when Cyrenius was governor. But King Herod, who was tributary to the Roman Emperor, began the work, not in the Roman but in the Hebrew way. Each head of a family had to repair to his own city, his ancestral home, and be registered there with his clan. Now, Bethlehem was the place to which all Old Testament prophecy and all Jewish tradition pointed as the birthplace of the expected Messiah, the Christ. But the train of circumstances which led Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem is most singular. A decree of a Roman Emperor, a hated, heathen oppressor: this decree carried into effect by Herod, a king who was regarded by the Jews as a usurper; a king justly hated for his wickedness, while he was feared because of his power; and yet, this decreewas executed in such a truly Hebrew fashion that the descent of Joseph, and doubtless of Mary, also, from royal David, was recognized and emphasized. It was not, indeed, necessary that Mary should go to Bethlehem. Neither Roman nor Jewish law required her presence; but Joseph was too true a man to leave her alone at Nazareth as her time of trial drew near. There are indications in the after course of the narrative, that perhaps they meant to take this opportunity to break up their home at Nazareth and settle in Bethlehem. If we think of the unborn Jesus as the Christ from heaven, we may wonder at the lowliness and bare simplicity of His progress toward His birthplace. And yet it was all most fitting. T...<
