Christians. Tradition, legend, song and
story have added many details to the
biblical account.
We are not certain which country
the Magi came from; we cannot say
they were real kings although they be-
longed to a kingly caste; we do not know
their exact number although popular
tradition set it at three to correspond
with the threefold gifts. The names:
Gaspar. Melchior, and Balthasar have
been attributed by legend to the Magi
to indicate that they represent all hui
mainly in the three great races of Sem,
Cham, and Japhet.
Despite these gaps in historical
knowledge, the visit of the Magi is most
meaningful to us because it represents
manifestation of God to the Gentiles.
AT Christmas a few shepherds were in
vited by the Angels to go and adore the
Word made Flesh. But at the Epiphany,
which means manifestation, God
Himself calls the whole world to wor-
ship Jesus and hear Him.
These are the reasons why next

When Arabia, Mesopotamia, Persia,
and India were great powers there was
a class of p%riestly scholars who devoted
themselves to the study OF religion, the
natural sciences, medicine, mathema-
tees, astronomy and astrology.
These men were called "Magi'
which means great or illustrious. At the
time Cnrist S.a to be born, some of
them had heard of a Jewish Messiah
from the Jews in their area. At the same
time a strange, new star appeared in
the sky which indicated a journey to the
west. We do not know whether the cara
van started Independently or not, but
we do know they joined forces, travel
led to Jerusalem, met Herod, consulted
the chief priests and subsequently came
TO Bethlehem.
The star they had seer in the east
reappeared and led them to the place
where Jesus was. They worShipped Him
there and offered our Saviour gifts:

On the morning of New Years Day
you may feel bright and clipper, and
then again you may not.
Perhaps you are fatigued from all
the celebrating that goes with the holi-
day season. In any event, the fact that
this is the first day of the new year
gives us pause and should make us take
a look at ourselves.
Was 1859 a year of progress for us
physically, mentally, and most of all
spiritually? In all honesty, we shall
doubtless admit we did not do so we'll
as planned, but it is hoped some adj
vance was made.
1t is almost impossible to begin a
new year without the hope for better
things. One custom by which we try
to mend the old and begin anew is the
New Years Resolution
This practice has been the object
of many jokes, but it is a good custom
if we act i%ntelligently and prudently.
In this matter we should make a few
practical resolutions and stick to them.
Let them be centered in our Faith, for
if we live our religion well, we cannot
help but be a good person.
The first resolution of every Cath.
Ole should be to hear an entire Mass

What's Usual

many Catholics ESPECIALLY

A. Although priests are
sometimes accused of talking
money too much from the pull

of the parish. In a public as

been customary for the faith
full to make personal offer

q wholesome uniformity and
avoid ostentation or envy to
the priest. Each diocese, usual
ly in a synod, establishes the
pattern for that diocese. The
Fifth Synod of the Diocese
of Columbus October 1852

be yes, in the sense that some
