Three Wise Men

nNE Christmas mystery remains o unsolved. Who were the wise men
 of the east-the magi who fol lowed the star of Bethlehem from afar to do homage to the newborn Saviour !
 It 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 1t. Herod evidently deemed it well to treat them with deference. for dis quieted though he was by their news of the comet that was to lead them to the birthplace of the Redeemer he dis sembled 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, Melchior 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. a native of Saba. from the east. and forty years old The youngest was Melchior, from the south. whose country was Tarshish He was twenty years old.
 lmpelled 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 own countries.
 The story does not stop here. It tells circumstantially the after life of the three wise men. The good Apostle St Thomas journeyed to their country and baptized them, and all three went out to preach the doctrine of the Christ.
 They were slain by barbarous gen tiles. and later the Empress Helena, mother of Constantine, recovered their 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.
