gend says learned school of twelve
men were set apart to watch this star;
if one man should die another was
elected to ill his place, and they took
the name of "the Magi."
The venerable Bede, in the Ninth
century, says there were three wise
men, and gives their names, country,
and representation: Africa represent
ed by Ham, Europe by Shem, and
Asia by Japheth. He says their
names were Malchoir, Casper, and
Balthasar. But this is only tradition.
Augustine, great Latin writer, and
Oregin, great Greek writer, say
there were twelve wise men that came
to worship the infant king.
III. wHRRE IS THE KING OF THE JEWS
1. He is enthroned in heaven. He
was the incarnate God when on earth,
the infant King, the helpless babe.
the innocent boy, the wonderful
Christ, the mighty God. He over
threw the religions of the world, rev.
olutionized society, made a new Or
der of things on earth at his coming,
convicted the world of sin, wrenched
humanity out of the jaws Of eternal
death and the fiery devil. He is en-
throned IN heaven, and at the same
time incarnated in the hearts of his
humble followers on earth. To-day
over 400, 100000 live for him, and un-
told billions have died in the glorious
triumph OF a blessed hope in him!
". FOB WHAT DID BE COME?
l. To stay the judgment of God,
and conquer satan and sin in the
hearts of humanity. Gods divine
Justice said cut man down, for he is
guilty sinner; "Why cumber the
ground?" While Christ in mercy
takes the sword divine, and says !
will suspend the Judgment, to "call
man to repentance.
2. He came to warn the world OF
its condition as sinful and lost. He
came to place before man the only
stimulus of hope for better life. He
is ssthe truth, the way, ant: the life.
In him is Immortality brought to
light
8. What will it profit US if we neg
lect or reject him? His birth, life,
death, resurrection, ascension, media
ton, and intercession in heaven, ii
disregarded will only be a witness to
our criminaity. Don't ignore it all
by Indifference or neglect to give him
the love OF your heart and the service
of your hands. Bring forth the roy
al diadem, and crown him Lord OF
all" in our souls, and in the service
of our lives!

The Pathogenic Microbe,

Or poison bearing germ, exercises a
most destructive influence, and is
continually waging war against health.
Innumerable is this mighty foe, and
but few escape his injury. Entering
the system through the blood, this
poisonous germ infects every part OF
the body, and spreads its deadly virus
everywhere. Under ordinary condi-
tions it multiplies rapidly, and soon
maintains stronghold upon the hu-
man body. To overcome this enemy,
and put an end to its destruction has
for a long while occupied the time
and energies of scientists. Their la
bors have at last been rewarded with
success, and a most important discov-
cry has shue boon made known to the
world. 1t has been shown that this
germ can be forced from the body
through the pores of the skin, and
that this is the only method by which
permanent and sure cure OF diseas-
es of the blood can be effected. S. S.
S. has for years been curing blood
diseases and their results, and it is by
this method of eliminating all impu-
rites through the skin that it has per-
formed its great work. All manner
of complaints having their origin in
an impure and disordered condition
Of the blood have been successfully
treated by this unrivaled blood medi-
cine. Being purely a vegetable pre-
paration S. S. S. is entirely harmless,
and no bad effects result from its
use.

two railroads it is destined to be con-
