From Year Ago

CLEVELAND. Jan. 10 R1.-
Output Of steel for ingots dur
ing the past week was nearly q
million tons. or almost 40 per
cent. under a year ago. Steel
magazine reported yesterday.
The rate of production was

vious week to so per cent OF

In tonnage the output for the
week was 1885, 700 net tons.
The weekly Woodworking
journal said its composite price
on steelmaking scrap had risen
10 cents a gross ton in the
week TO January 8. That made
a composite price Of 1888 a
ton, up $l.33 from the 1857 low

The upturn In scrap prices
was welcomed because. Steel
said, many look upon scrap
an important raw material in
steelmaking-as a barometer

Three
Gifts.
BY
Martin
Haley

he laid with the other gifts ON
the manger beside the Baby's
head. ~
Right so did it happen thus,
for by these three they showed
forth in Christ His Divine Maj
esty, His Kingly Power and His
Human Morality. For incense
pertains to worship, gold to
tribute and myrrh to death and
burial. And all these gifts we
re-offer when by Faith, we af-
firm Him to be Very God, Very
King and Very Man"
This carmsiits History Of fts
Three Kings" was. Of course,
not history at ell, but folklore
in religious matters the medis-
val equivalent Of the modern
novel for the entertainment Of
the massss-whsrsin imagina-
tion played delightfully."- round
about the things really in ths
Scriptures and en- beiiishsd
them.
Who was the worse for 1t?
Certainly not the writer's nor
the painters who revelled like
Angelica, Gaddi and Bennozzi
In the exotic glory Of the east
ern kings. To the painters the
tall Negro they made of, Bait
hassar was especially a gift for
color and contrast, and, after
all, are not the tallest people
In the world today to be found
still in Ethiopia?
COMMONPLACE IDEA
Well. there you have the
symbolism attached to gold.
frankincense and myrrh expli-
Gated by a poet OF the fourth
century, and the idea is also q
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1958-12-19

commonplace with certain of
the early Fathers of the Church.
No doubt, save for the literal.
minded, 1t is implicit in Holy
Scripture itself.
Other things to be found in
the Carmelite Prior's book are
the imputation Of the three kings
to India whereof His Araby
formed part), a great deal about
the star itself as it appeared to
them and, of course, their
names.
MYSTERIOUS WORDS
Whenever the three names
came from originally l haven't
the faintest idea, though the
last king Of Babylon for whom
Daniel interpreted the myster-
ious words: Meme, meme, fekei,
Upkarsin: could pass as a Bait
hassar even though he doesn't
seem to have, been of very good
repute and by inference deserved
his fate at the. hands of the
Modes and the Persians.
John of Hildesheim's three
kings, on the other hand, were
not only Magi but Christian
saints by popular reclamation.
For he told of them that when
St. Thomas the Apostle went to
India to preach the gospel, he
baptized the three and finally
c0nsecrated them bishops.
They served Christ well for
many years and departed this
life, each over a hundred years
old, in the same month and in
the same year. Despite the long,
evity Of bishops that doesn't
life, each over a hundred years
1t must be added in Johns fav-
or that nowadays it Is widely ac-
cepted that st. Thomas did In
fact preach the Gospel in India
an ecent that sceptical centuries.
wouldn't hear of.
Modern archaeological re-
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1958-12-19

search has unearthed startling
evidence In Southern India Of
quite an extensive intercourse
between India and the lands of
the Roman Empire in classical
times.
: APPEAL TO PAINTERS
In Johns account the star that
announced the birth of Christ to
the East was in the form Of q
cross surrounded by flashing
rays and bearing In Its center
the figure of a young child.
This idea goes back to Syrian
theologian and poet Of Our Lady,
st. Ephrem, of the Fourth Gem
fury, and its appeal to painters
Is obvious.
John Of Hiidesheim was, 81
course, Of Germany; hence II Is
worthy or remark that the Three
Kings and their sifts has at.
tached itself in . special way to
the city Of Cologne whose fine
cathedral supposedly contained
their relics. These were brought
TO consssntinopis by 81. Hsisns.

A quarter Of a century
ago when American visitors
to Australia were quite
rare, we were visited by a
certain Thomas Hogan of
the United States who was also
poet.
Since thase days, / fancy, no
one has heard much of Mr.. He
gan even In the homeland to
which he returned, and here in
Australia we have heard moth
Ing at all. Yet while he was
visiting us, he cOnruscated be-
yond the usual with visitors and
contributed to Catholic papers
quite a few poems that seemed
to me to be the real thing. True
this in its simplicity about my
parti cular and present-day
theme:
Three Eastern Kings came
i~ovrneyinS their Saviour
to behold.
And one Of Thorn brought
frankincense and one OF
them brought gold.
But one Of them hid bitter
myrrh within his gar
ments' fold.
Then he who brought the
frankincenss his Saviour
bowed before.
And he who came with vel

low gold kneeied on The
stable floor.
But he who brought the
bitter myrrh remained
without the door.
For frankincenss they give
to God In ancient land OF
Ur,
And gold Is for the crown
OF kings; but men must
drink the nyrrh:
And he had brought the
bitterness TO offer Unto
her.
Then she who knew the
sword must come Is ST.
neon forefoId,
In gentle accents babe him
place the myrrh besides
the gold
For in my Son. though
God and King, the Son Of
Man behold"
That poem still seems ad-
mirable to me except for the
idea Of drinking myrrh. When I
first read 1t, 1t shone with an
added splendor because that
was the first time / really MOTTO
ed the symbolism Of Franklin
cense for Divine Worship, Gold
for Kingship, and Myrrh for Suf-
fering according to Thomas Ho-
GAM.
Yet this symbolism is centur-
les old In the Church, except
that Myrrh is usually taken to
refer to death and burial. Thus,
about 1870, the Carmelite Prior,
John of Hildesheim, published
his Historic Trivm Regvm, and
wrote:
