Magi Were Priests
Of Persian Religion

Along about this time of the year
there's lot written, said and sung
about the Magi. Just who were the
Magi, anyway?
The Magi were priests Of an
ancient Persian religion called
Zoroastrianism. The Greek histor-
ian Herodotus gives very favor
able account of them and their
influence in a society which existed
four hundred years before Christ's
birth.
According to Herodotus the Magi
were powerful in public and private
affairs. They conducted the educa-
ton of the young princes, and were
in constant attendance upon the
king as counselors.
This description of a Magi ap-
pears in the sacred writing of Zorro
aster: "Thou shouldst call him
priest, who sits the whole night thru
and yearns for holy wisdom that
enables man to stand upon deaths
bridge fearless and with happy
heart, the wisdom whereby he at
tains the holy and glorious world
of paradise"
The three Magi, or Wise Men,
who followed the Star of Bethlehem
and brought gifts of gold, frank
incense and myrrh to the Christ
child remain nameless, but they
were the first to recognize the
Importance of the birth of the
Prince of Peace. er-y.

Christmas Went Underground
With Puritan Ban of 1914

THERE was time when Christ
mas went underground. People
who advocated Christmas were in
danger of arrest and Imprisonment
and it looked as though Christmas
was on its way out.
It all happened around 1914 when
the Puritans in England forbade
any merriment or religious serv-
ices, by act of parliament, on the
ground that it was a heather
festival. What resulted was much
grumbling, breaking of the law and
a Christmas underground which
wrote and distributed pamphlets in
favor of Christmas.
In 1648, for instance, was pub
lished Canterbury Christmas.
This pamphlet gives an account OF
the subsequent proceedings after
the Cryer of Canterbury had upon
Wednesday, December %, Openly
proclaimed that Christmas day and
all other superstitious festivals
should be put downe, and a market
should be kept on Christmas day.
Which being not observed, (but
very i'll taken by the country the

town was thereby unserved with
provision and trading very much
hindered; which occasioned great
discomfort among people, caused
them to rise in rebellious way
Among the rarest Of the pam
phlets issued at that time IS entitled
1.-THE Examination and Tryal Of Old
Father Christmas" In this little
volume, lone old Christmas was
commanded to be brought to the
Bar, then was a jury for Life and
Death to be impaneled.' The
Judge was called Judge Hate-bate,
the Sheriff's name was called
Leonard Love-peace."
In the end Christmas is acquitted,
but is cautioned by Judge Hate-bate,
''for avoiding all such scandals as
have been cast upon you for the
future, do think fit to admonish you,
that you remember your Office Is
not so much to feast the Body, as
to refresh the soul, by thankful and
pious Meditations.
Charles II re-established Christ
mas in 1878 and jolly Old Father
Christmas" has never had to stand
trial since.

Birthday of Jesus
An Uncertain Date

1t is not surprising that the day
and year of the birth of Jesus are
uncertain, for methods of keeping
track of dates during the era when
Christ was born were not very reli-
able. For years, eminent scholars
have been searching the scriptures,
and all possible records, to try to
establish an exact date. So far,
they have not succeeded.
Matthew states that Jesus was
born during the reign of King Herod
which helps to establish the period
of His birth and this is the starting
point from which the scholars at
tempt to reckon, the year.
The statement by Matthew that
the wise men from the east, in in
quiring s'Where is He that is born
King of the Jews?" aroused Herod
SO that he ordered the massacre
of all children two years old or less,
Is very significant. It is taken as
proof that Jesus must have been
born about two years before this
Infamous decree was issued.
No less an authority that the
Catholic encyclopedia places the
birth of Christ in the year which,
by our modern methods of keeping
track of dates, would be 7 BIC.
Thus, Christ's birth does not exactly
determine the difference between
BIC. and AID. date.
Most people, however, do not
care if the exact day and year of
Christ's birth are unknown. What
matters most is the deathless vigor
of the Christmas Spirit throughout
the world.

Pedicnves Are Important
In Keeping Well Groomed

You are never too young to learn
the beauty essentials that can mean
50 much toward your always looking
well groomed. You've had tips
given to you as to the care of your
complexion and hands. Now we've
arranged to have information on
pedicures sent to us so that you
can clip the article and learn the
right way to have feet that you
can proudly display in a pair of
open-foot sandals.
Settle down for a self-pedicure
with:
One sizable enameled bowl or
basin.
One heavy nail Ale or emery
board.
Two medium sized towels.
Note-Soap should not be added
to the water until after the feet
have been thoroughly rinsed. The
rinsing water need not be hot OF
more than three inches deep in
the tub.
/. After rinsing the feet, add two
inches of hot water to the basin
and about one ounce of soap or
flakes. Saturating a piece of cot
ton thoroughly with remover, hold
over each toenail for a few seconds
then pull down over the tip of the
nail. Starting with the right foot
work from the little toe toward the
big one.
g Shape nails with a file or the
heavy side of an emery board. Keep
the line slightly rounded, never al
lowing the free edge to extend be-
yond the tip Of the toe. Corners
should never be cut nor filed down
farther than the natural line o1
the free edge.
3. Soak the feet. allowing them
to rest fiat on the bottom of the
basin to be sure that the water
comes above the ankles.
4. Dry the feet thoroughly. Wrap
an orangeWood stick thinly with
cotton and apply cuticle remover
around your nails and under the
free edge to soften and remove dead
cuticle Starting on the little toe
of the right foot, push back and
raise cuticle, keeping the skin and
nails wet with the remover.

and scissors! Snip off hangnails ano
loose bits of skin only.

Modern Marriage
Who Sets the Standards While on Date?
ExpIojters Should Be Carefully Avoided
By Dr.. Paul Pooenoe

Girls are in revolt at a certain
high school.
It started with visiting lee
turer. She told the girls they
would have to look out for them
selves. "It's the girl who sets the
standard on a date" she assured
them. "1t's the girl who is re-
sponsible for the way a boy be-
haves. It's the girls part to estab-
lish the standard Of behavior, and
then see that the boy respects it. ="
The social arts class rose to the
bait. Whats the matter with
boys" it inquired. Are they
parasites? Aren't they grown up
enough to know how to behave?"
My thanks, girls, for writing to
me. but my opinion Is no more
valuable than yours or anybody
else's. All I can do is to look at
