Some of the biggest and Oldest of them are 30 fee
in diameter and at least 5000 years old So yot
see many of these Big Trees in Sequoa and Iosem
te national parks We're not even mddle-aged wheI
Christ was born in Bethlehem
This particular Sequoia Christmas tree was
planted in 1890. From Seeding it has grown
to height of more than 60 feet. Thousand
years from it will probably be nearly 300 fee'
tall and have diameter Of Is or 20 feet.
One wonders if there will be similar Christmas
celebration in Yosemite valley tben-a thtusano
years from now. Why not? Christmas VIII still
be celebrated then--if the world endures. Anc
our nineteen national parks have been set apart
by congress as public Fairgrounds for the people
forever So If the United States of America en-
dures why not a Christmas celebration In Yosem'
lite A. d. 29222 All that seems to be necessary
is the planting of Sequoia Seeding every thirty
years or So :.
Christmas and mnce pie Nobody ought to
have to tell anybody that Christmas is the time for
mlnce pie Why the two go together-just like
Thanksgiving and pumpkin pie and the Fourth of
July and spring lamb and green peas. The first
mince pie of the winter should grace the Christmas
board; any housewife who gives her family even
a taste of one before Christmas day should go with
out new Easter hat-thats the punishment to
fit the crime. And any man who eats mince pie
at i restaurant or at his club before Christmas day
should go without mince pie all winter.
However If he should, his punishment would
likely fit the crime. For nowadays the making OF
mince pies is largely lost art. The ordinary
restaurant mince pie Is nothing but minced fruit.
There is a saying that every really good woman
cook must have a temper Maybe. Certainly she
should be nice and plump-as If she ate her own
mince pies and thrived on them. And It's easy
TO tell by watching n woman make mlnce pies
whether or not they're going to be a success IL
she goes at It, you know, as If 1t were sort of
religious rte-as If the fate of the nation hung
on her work-why, all Is well.

teller and his famous appreciation Of the srawber-
nv? Well, It's quite evident the good doctor never
sat down to just the right kind of a Christmas
dinner or he would have ignored the strawberry as
unworthy Of his cleverness and would have sad in
stead that doubtless God could have inspired some
heaven-born cook to make a more appropriate des-
sert for December % than mince pie but that doubt
less God never did.

the acrobats. 1t suddenly moved

appearing on earth at Christmas time with a mes
sage to all mankind? Certainly he has mes
sage well worth delivering. And certainly it is
a message well worth listening to. For from his
experience he could say to us
you have served God only as yoI nave served
men,"
The Christian citizen should be serving God
In relation to his home, his community and his
nation. There are those who are serving God by
trying to improve the conditions under which their
less privileged fellows live and work. by trying to
bring more Of justice, beauty, peace and love into
the life of the world. 1t Is to be feared that most
of us fall far short here But he is poor Chris
tan and poor citizen indeed who having, can
pass Christmas without doing something in keep.

Everywhere in our modern Twentieth century
life we meet the very people whom Jesus painted
In living words 1000 years ago-the prodiga son
who "came to himself; the elder brother who

the Levite who "Iassed by on the other side" the
good Samaritan who "was moved with COMPASS.

born King Of the Jews? for we have seen his star
In the East, and are come to worship him.
When IIerod the King had heard these things he
was troubled, and oil Jerusalem with him.
And when he had gathered all the chief priests
and scrbes Of the people together, he demanded
Of them where Christ should be born
And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea,
for thus It is written by the prophet,
And thou, Bethlehem, in the land Of Judea, are
not the least among the princes Of Judea; for out
Of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my
people Israel
Then Herod, when he had privily called the
wise men, inquired of them diligently what time
the star appeared
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said Go
and search diligently for the young child; and
when ye have found him. bring me word again,
that l may come and worship him also.
When they had heard the king, they departed,
and, 10, the star, which they in the East, went
before them, till it came and stood over where
the young child was
When they saw the star they rejoced with
exceeding great JOY.
And Wnen they were come into the house. they
saw the young child with Mary his mother and
fell down, and worshped him and when they had
opened their treasure, they presented unto him
gifts; gold, and frankncense and myrrh.
And being warned of God in dream that they
should not return to Herod, they departed into
their own country another way.
These Three Wise Men were named Melchior
Kaspar and Balthazar, They are sometimes called
the "Three Kings Of Cologne" Their bones are
said to rest In the cathedral of Cologne This Is

Early tradition supplemented this account by
adding fourth wise man. And the story of this
fourth wise man Is one for us all to keep In mind
ut Christmas time.
This fourth wise man started with the other
three to make the journey to Jerusalem and pay
homage TO the newborn King But he never
reached the manger where lay the child Instead
he sacrificed his life TO render service. Never
theless before he died he was granted n vision
of the Christ. Henry Van Dykes "The Story Of
the Other Wise Man" tells the tradition most ex-
ceently well:
Detained by his efforts TO save a dying stranger,
Artnban becomes separated from his companions.
tie therefore, seeks the Christ alone, travelling
from place to place, feeding the hungry rs he goes
clothing the naked, nursing the SICK comforting
the oppressed.
Ono after another he spends for others the
precious gifts which he had hoped TO offer to the
Christ At last he surrenders his one remaining
pearl in order to ransom tormented slave girl
Struck on the temple by falling tile he lies
bleeding aud brenthless But ne hears n Voice
commencing him
Unable to believe the testimony OF his own ears
The Other Wise Man marnuIs
mot so, my Lord For when saw | Thee an
hungered and fed Thee2 Or thirsty, and gave
Thee drink When saw | Thee stranger and
took Thee I'M Or naked, and clothed Thee? When
Jaw | Thee sick and In prison and came unto
Thee? Three-and-thirty years have looked after
Thee but ! have never seen Thy face, nor min.
istered to Thee my King"
But the Voice replies:
"Inasmuch ms thou hast done II unto one of the
least OF these my brethren, thou hast done II unto
me-"
Is It hard to imagine the Fourth Wise Man re-
