"ALittle Child Shall
Lead Them

HRISTMAS is the apotheosis Of
~ enfeeblement. 1t is the exaltation
of childhood. 1t is the glory Of
the little child.
We celebrate this festival In bleak
| December, the uncrowned month in our
northern zone, lighting its dull skies by
the eternal fires Of love in human
hearts.
There Is not in all this land a home
where the rain beats through the roof,
where the mother and father gather
the children more closely to shelter
them, but the Christmas truth is shin
ing, blessed are the poor"
There is not homeless boy who in
the December night creeps out Of the
snow into an empty dry goods box In
the alley, not little fellow up under
the rafters of the poor house on the
county farm, not founding left in
basket at the rich mans door, not
shivering, tiny girl untitled for fight
with the storm, but the new truth OF
the Christmas spreads Its wings over
them.
"When am weak, then am strong"
Who Is weak? Who is infirm upon his
feet and walks with crutch7 Who Is
afraid Of the northeast wind? Who
says: II am better; yes, think am
getting better. But somehow do not
get my vigor back?" Who leans up
against the bale of goods In the half
hidden counter and knows that she
came back to work too soon? Who
was born blind?
To all Of you the Christmas has its
meaning. There never was conqueror
like the child in the cradle. God hath
chosen the weak things to confound
the mighty. For 1000 years the his
tory of the worlds civilization has
been the story Of the gentler virtues,
the poem, the song and the triumph of
suffering we'll. The race Is not to the
swift nor the battle to the strong. Ev-
cry letter of that sentence Is eternally
true.
The grandest things that were ever
done on earth were done by men and
women who had the spirit Of the child.
The sublimest work of the Creator is
the sweet-faced little child. 1t Is ev-
erything for the child. heaven please
all harvests, all gold, all schools, all
trade, ali government, all the coming
better times. Christmas means, "And
a little child shall lead them. Emory

Watch for the Opening Chapter
The Three
Wise Men

NNE 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
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 1t well
to treat them with Difference. for dis
quieted though he was to lead them to
the birthplace Of the Redeemer he dis
sembled and told them that when they
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-
ceived 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, 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 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. 1t 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 barbsrous gen.
tiles, and later the Empress Helena,
mother Of Constantine, recovered their
sacred bones and took them to Con.
Thence they were carried
to Milan and finally found an ultimate
resting place In Cologne, where they
