dical News says:
Here is q weather prophet with i'd
eas worth considering. Some time It
will come to be realized tnat many Of
the pains and aches that immediately
precede and accompany damp weather
are not due to rheumatism, nor to the
rheumatic diathesis. but are just plain
every day irritability consequent upon
some change in nervous conditions
which are caused by q drop in the ba-
rometer perhaps, or perhaps the hy-
droscopic variation in tissues which
follows a change in the atmospheric
humidity. Old people become walking
barometers in their power to portend
storms, because the lessened elacticity
of their arterial and vascular system
prevents or at least hampers those
changes in theperipheral circulation
which would compensate for variations
in barometric pressure. Whenever an
injury has taken place around joint,
this same state of affairs proclaims
itself even In comparatively young sub.
jects. All signs, however, fail in dry
time, SO that the human barometer
is like most other weather profits
proves unreliable when it is most need
ed. 1t Is probable, however, that .
careful study Of human feelings woukl
enable the would-be weather prophet
to prognosticaAe weather conditions
with more assurance than any empi
rical study Of the moon and cloud con
ditions."

The Star OF Bethlehem Is a theme
OF wondrous power. II has fascinated
sagcs OF the East and philosophers of
the West. IL has been discussed these
nineteen hundred years by men OF
varying minds with freshness that
never fails. IL eNcites a glow Of fer.
vid love In the breast OF the saint II
kindles the dying embers OF hope In
the soul OF the sinner. II Is the ray
OF Heavens own light "a the afflicted.
II beekons the prodigal back Ia the
Fathers home. II gives strength TO
the living. II brings peace To the dy.

but though mystery OF awe 20
angels, IL il n symbol OF Love Divine
20 men. AZ such II cannot fail tn pro-
foundry interest every intelligent In
quirer after truth. That we may the
better understand the subject and
more thoroughly appreciate the ways
Of God with man, | propose to treat
the subject under the following heads:
1. The star was a real. true, bona
hde star-not mere temporary mir
aculous creation for the specific pur.
pose.
IL Is allowed by all authorities
that the Magi. or Wise Men. were
learned. They would. therefore. make
use OF words and terms with discrim.
nation. But not only were they
learned. they were astronomers.
Hence. when they used an astronom.
ical term. they would use the appropri.
ate word or phrase descriptive OF the
object referred TO- They use the word
"aster," which means an ordinary and
permanent star. not an extraordinary
and temporary one.
Now, in the Bible star Is used only
In n twofold gniicatlon-literally or
nguratiyely In it's figuratiye sense Il
The Yale expositor., 1903-12-18

6. II was a fixed star-not erratic
In its movements. The term star"
was used by the Wise Men. But they
were skilled astronomers and knew
the difference between a star. a plan
et. comet or meteor. for all OF
which there were distinct names.
Hence planet. comet. meteor are ruled
out by the word aster (starl. And
hence we conclude that the Star In
the East was n fixed star.
Z. IL was "A star In the sign Pisces
OF the zodiac-the Sign OF Judea. This
Il an important factor. Among the
ancients there was part Of the heav-
ems called the zodiac. II was a belt
encircling the heavens ON each side OF
the ecliptic. or apparent path Of the
sun among the stars. within which the
larger planets always remain. II ex.
tended To eight degrees on either side
OF the ecliptic. II was divided into
twelve parts called the Signs Of the
Zodiac. The different countries Of
the earth we're divided among the
twelve signs Judea belonged 20 the
sign pisces, the twelfth. The Magi,
like all other astrologers or astron-
omers. believed in that division.
So far We have traced some OF the
necessary conditions Of thu star. Let
us now try and discover the star that
mlfls these conditions. In doing SO
We shall briefly discuss the different
theories put forth and held by differ
ent people. some OF them men OF
great eminence In their own particu.
lar sphere. We shall also show the
untenableness of the different hypoth-
esls

seen. the Star OF Bethlehem had n
periodic time. which must necessarily
have corresponded with the fullness
Of time" But the periodic times OF
Mars. Jupiter. Saturn are all known
and are OF short duration. Even II
We apply the periodic time 20 the CON
functions OF the planets the objection
stlll holds good. The times of the
oonjunctions are known and are com
paratiyely short. So that attractive
az Is the theory OF Kepler. we must
dlmiss II, and look elsewhere.
There Is one star which fulfils all
the conditions ta) II was In an espe-
cial sense the Magi's star. CD II has
q periodic time. (c) Its revolution Is
Of indefinite lcagth. I'D II was In the
sign Pisces &C the birth OF our Lord.
(cl believe we can find n peculiar
ity by which IL could be called His
Star" That star was Sirius, the
brightest In the armament of heaven.
Before We can arrive az our final
conclusion II IL necessary 90 learn
something about the Wise Men. or
aagi Who were the Magi? Where
ala they come from?
The etymology OF the word Magl is
involved I'm much doubt. II Is gener-
ally supposed To be primarily a Per.
sian word, but the Persian IL only n
form Of the original. Our word Magus.
az which Magi is the plural. IL but the
Latin rendering OF the Greek Magos.
the Persian OF which Is probably MAJ.
MAJ Is cognate to Maj in Major. Mag
in Magnus and Meg In Megas (Raw.
linson). II Is an intensitive and
means much or ALL" In Ahura Mazda.
Persian name for God. II means the
all wise or all powerful.
II IS clear, however. that the Per
SLAMS borrowed the word as they as-
