The Three
Wise Men

4 NE Christmas mystery remains
" unsolved. 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?
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 to lead them to
the birthplace of the Redeemer he dis
had found the new born 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
fury, who delved deeply into historical
sources since lost to the world. Their
story Of the three wise men has re-
ceiyed wide credence. According to
these monks, the wise men were three
great kings called Caspar, Melchoir
and Balthasar. 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.
BalthaSar was black, q 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 the state
and followed q single star thirteen
days and nights, without eating or
sleeping, till ii 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
cTculnstantially the after life of the
three wise men. The good Apostle st.
Thomas jOurneyed TO their country and
baptized them, and al three went out
to preach the doctrine Of the Christ.
They were slain by barbarous gem
tiles, and later the Empress Helena,
mother of Constantine, recovered their
sacred bones and took them to Con-
stantiiople. Thence they were carried
to Milan and finally found an ultimate
resting place in Cologne, where they
now are.-New York Post.

Celebrated Christmas
With Biblical Play

r "a ANY curious feasts arose in con-
VI nection with the celebration Of
Christmas in early days. Thus
the ass on which Balaam rode in the
'Reims Mystery" won for the feast
the title ''Festum Asinorum," the feast
of the asses. AS it was celebrated in
France, according to William Hone, it
consisted almost entirely of dramatic
show. On one occasion the clergy
walked on Christmas day in process
sion, habited to represent the prophets
and other characters.
Moses appeared in an alb and cope,
with long beard and a rod. David
had q green vestment. Balaam, with
an immense pair of spurs, rode on u
wooden ass, which inclosed speaker
There were also six Jews and six gen.
tiles. Among other characters the
poet Vergil was introduced, singing
monkish rimes. They moved in pro-
ceSsiOn through the body of the church
chanting versicles and cOnverSing on
the life of Christ till they came into
the choir.
This service, as performed In the
cathedral at Rouen, commenced with
a procession in which the clergy rep
resented the prophets of the Old Tesla
ment, who foretold the birth of Christ.
Then followed Balaam mounted on the
ass. Zacharias, Elizabeth, John the
Baptist, the Sibyl, Erythree, Simeon,
Vergil, Nebuchadnezzar and the three
prophets in the Misunderstanding

shorter vacation in such cases would
be advisable. This matter, however,
rests entirely with the school officers

to notify the superintendent promptly
if your vacation is for more than two
weeks, so that he may not lose time by
calling at the schoolhouse when school
is not in session.
