Oregon City, March 8. To the Editor of The Journal The analogy drawn by between his own personal experience and that of the Virgin Mary is decidedly unique. If not convincing. Undoubtedly when the child called his stepmother "mother," his parents "understood" exactly the real relationship, but when the child Jesus did the same neither Mary nor Joseph "understood the saying which he spake unto And yet, if the record ls reliable, Mary had been told that "the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and tho power of the highest shall overshadow thee. Therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the.

Son of God." And Joseph had been told the same thing when "being a just man and not trilling to make her a public example he was rhinded to put her away privily." If after such miraculous testimony they "did not realize," as J. H. says, "that he referred to his father In heaven" every one must marvel at their wonderful obtuseness. The fact is that the dispute about the "virgin birth" ls as old as Christendom. The early church was convulsed with the controversy.
