hearing from Germany previous to

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
HOME AT CHRISTMAS
By KATHERINE EDELMAN

WHAT joy it is to come home
w at Christmas! What delightful
anticipation the very thought of it
brings during the busy, happy weeks
that come before. In the street, in
the office or shop, or wherever we are
during this time, our hearts warm at
the joy of all that it will mean.
What pleasure to listen as the train
thunders its way across the miles
to know that each moment we are
drawing nearer and nearer to the old
home place. What thrills surge over
US as we think of the gifts that we
are carrying home and the joy of
handing them to those we love. What
rush of love and tenderness fills us
as we think of the happy meeting that
lies ahead, of the warmth of the wei.
come that awaits us, of the joy that
Cur coming will bring!
What if it was hard to get away
what though it entailed sacrifice and
expense? Is not one hour of it's glad
ness worth the price? Will not the
memory of it cheer US over and over
in the days that are coming-a shin
ing pearl upon our chain of remem.
brance?
1t is good to come home at all
times, and cold, indeed, is the heart
that does not respond to it's thrill
But to come home at Christmas, when
bells are ringing, when heart is call.
ing to heart across the miles, when
the ties of home and kin have grown
deeper and dearer, that is happiness
beyond all telling. To miss it for
some small reason is to deprive our.
selves of one of life's greatest joys.

that the Child is King-that He is
to be the Savior of the Jews
Shepherds are here from the hills,
and princes have come from the Far

Don't be foolish, Rebecca. A King

THE WISE MEN

NOTHING is known concern
~ ing the identity of the
wise men," All that we learn
from the gospel is that wise
men" appeared bringing gifts OF
gold. frankincense and myrrh.
We do not know who they were
or what were their names or
how many there were. The
common suppOsition is there
we're three of them. That idea
arises from the fact that there
were three gifts. Some of the
early Christian writer's thought
there were IL. Later Christian
writer's still name them, giving
their names as Melchior, Cas-
par and Balthasar. Persia would
probably be the place from
which they came, because they
were interested in the stars and
the Persians were great star.

them the rank of kings, but the
