THE THREE WISE MEN.


WHO Were They? - An unsoived
Christmas Mystery.
One Christmas mystery remains I'M
solved. Who were the wise men Of the
east-the magi who followed the star
of Bethlehem from afar to do homage
to the newborn Saviour?
The simple story as told in the Bible
Is one of the most familiar In Christ
mas lore. Any child could recite it in
detail. Painters and sculptors have
made II the theme of the most inspired
products of their brushes and chisels,
but to this day the Identity Of these
wise men remains mystery. A
search Of the great paintings in which
the subject is Seated produces be-
wilderment There are half hun
aresl different ideas presented. The
varying versions of the books of the
ages are as many.
1t is fair to assume from the fact
that the visitors were received at court
by King Herod and that they carried
gifts of value that they were in their
own country men of royalty or close
to it. Herod evidently deemed it well
to treat them with Difference. for dis
Quoted though he was by their news
of the comet that was to lead them to
the birthplace of the Redeemer he dis
scmbed and told them that when they
had found the newborn he would re-
turn to worship with them.
Much OF our information about the
early days of the Christian era comes
from the monks of the fourteenth CEN
tury who delved deeply into historical
sources since~lost to the world. Their
story of<the three wise men has receiv-
ed wide credence. According to these
monks. the wise men were three great
kings called Caspar, Melchoir and Bal
thasar. Caspar was the Oldest and
from the north At the time of the
birth of Christ he was sixty years old,
and for more than two-thirds of that
time he had ruled In Arabia. Baltha-
sar was black, native of Saba, from
the east. and forty years old. The
youngest was Melchoir, from the SOUTH
whose country was Tarshish. He was
twenty years old.
Impelled by some mysterious power
they dropped all the cares Of state and
followed a single star thirteen days
and nights without eating or sleeping
till it led them to Jerusalem.
Then the story follows that of the
Bible until they returned to their OWL
countries.
The story does not stop here. 1t tells
circumstantially the after life of the
three wise men. The good Apostle st
Thomas journeyed to their country ant
baptized them, and all three went ou
TO preach The doctrine of the Christ.
They were slain by barbarous gen
tiles. and later the Empress Helena
mother of Constantine. recovered theil
sacred bones and took them to Con
stantinople. Thence they were carried
to Milan and finally found an ultimate
resting place in Cologne, where they
now are.-New York Post.
