D., St. Augustine was sent to convert the British isles to Christianity, Pope Gregory com- manded his missionary as far as pos- sible to 'harmonize the Christian or- dinances with the Heathen feasts,- the result is that many of the cus- toms associated with Christmas have their origin not in the .birth, of Christ, but in heathen festivities. It is my purpose to -day to tell the sine- , pie Christian story, as found in the Bible, and to apply souse of its bene— ficent teachings to the practicalities. of every =day life. The account of Christ's birth is not only .simply told, but very brief- ly told. Some of us are apt to think to briefly. We would like to have known all the details of ' that wondrous event which is destined' to, transform the world. We deplore the loss of any fact relating to our Lord. But the historians would .not have us concern ourselves with the accessories of the picture, but with that glorious life and death in which dour eternal destiny is bound up. they briefly state the main -facts and proceed to the narrative' so momen- tous to the whole world. THE MAGI DEFINED. Then this simple account of the na- tivity goes a step further. The birth of Christ is connected with a startling < incident. The name of Peregrine White is never mentioned, but the explanatory statement is also made, that "she was born on the Mayflowerwhen. the pilgriie fa- thers were on their journey to live in a new world." Christ's birth is hardly ever mentioned without an associate statement. When Jesus was born that, was the year the wise men came from' the east, saying, 'Whereas he that is born 'King of the Jews, for we have seen his star in the east and are come to worship .him," The magi have been the. theme for , many an artist's brush,. poet's song, as well as minister's sermon. If in the short account of the nativity it was important enough to note the visit of these wise men, surely it will not be ..wasted time for us in a Christmas discourse to con - sake, der. who were the wise inen, :from. whence they came, what they did when they knelt and worshipped at the manger, where they went after they had' seen the newborn Christ. Who were the magi? They were the wise men. They were not fools, not ignoramuses, not silly star gaz- ers. They were not tramps going from place to place because they were too .,lazy to work. They were the intellectual giants of the east. They were such intellectual giants . that when they appeared in Jerusalem they startled all the sages of the, I•terodian era with their grasp of af- fairs and mental power. They be- longed to a class that was the re- pository of all thescientific know- ledge of the time. They were the observers of natural phenomena, the philosophers of their day, the lead- ers in the world of mind. When Matthew . described them as wise men" he knew that the description would be clearly understood as ap- plying to men whose erudition 'and mental ability, placed thein among the aristocracy of knowledge. FOLLOWED TIIE STAR. Wbere did the wise men come frem? The far east? The Word "east" is very indefinite. It, might mean easlern Asia or China. It might and proliabl3r does mean Per- sia or India. At all events, the east was far on. lt was so far off that these Strange travelers must have startled the iahabitants of the west- ern capital with their peculiar garb and their foreign accent. It was so far off that in all probability the wise men would have been unable to find the Jerusalem capital had they not beeia led by that wonderful star, the star of the east. Ah, yes, the magi, in order to lind the manger, had many a weary day's march. Traveling in their time had to be 'done on foot or on horse ,er camel beck, They had to tramp through the paeched deserts. They had to climb the loftiest of mountains and fathom -many a deep valley. now tired they must have become! If Melchior was old in all probability he weuld never have reached the manger but for the strong arms of his tOto friends. But wherever the three wise men hailed from, that glowed:ate star would beckon them on And, yet, any friends, though the whie Irani had to travel a Tong, dis- tance, they did not have to go any farther than some sinners would bane to travel to find Christ.

A HOPED FOR EMIGRA'110N. Oh, that to -clay we might see a great einigeation from the far off land of sin toward the manger. Oh, that to-daY- the prodigals in the far coura try might seek the old hointistead of mercy:, even as the Bethlehera care- nanSary was sought of old. In im- agination we can picture how the wise men started. Perliapi weeks, perhaps months before that first of all' Christraasee these orteutal sages were working diligently at their al- loted tasks. One is studying in one part of the housen another in an- other and the third in still another. Perhapa Melchior, the aged astro- loger, , with an astronomical glass is silently and earnestly studying the heavens, Patiently the aged scientist is watching and waiting for the stars to change their re- lative positions. Suddenly a tre- mor of excitement sbakes his frame. swiftlye awfully, divinely, thieve pasees before the Ions a strange light. lt does not look so much like a star as a great orb of light, like a diamond glittaing upon the finger of God, beckoning, always beckoning. In great excitement the old man staggers to his feet and calls his two comiades. Caspar, the smooth faced sage, rushes ouickly into the room because he is younger than the swarthy iniddle aged Moor. At first the three say nothing. They are too absorbed to speak. Then Balthazar opens a musty parchment written hundreds of years befoie, and begins to read from the Hebrew prophet Micah : "But thou Bethlehem Ephre.- tah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in. Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." "Yos," answered the old man Melchior, "that reminds me of another passage from the I-Tebrew prophet Isaiah : 'Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his should- er, and his 'name shall be called Wonderful, Couneelor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of peace." "Yes," may &axe answered the poetic young sage, Cas- par, "that reminds me of what the Hebrew psalmist wrote, 'Thou art nr,sr son, lo, I come; in the volume it is written of me.' " "Come, com- rades, they shoat to each other. "Come, the star is beckoning us. Conie ! Come !" And they leave their instruments and their manuscripts and set out on their journey. Would that before the dawn of next Chriat- Inas many eanles from Christ might start and take this journey nrith the wise men ! Would that all who are lost in the mountains of sin might leave 'behind. their dead selves and seek the manger, which is afar off in the land!, of purity and love. THE CHRISTIAN'S MISSION'. Where did the wise men go after they had Seen the iefant Christ and rendered their homage at the man- ger ? Why, the Bible tells us ex- plicitly they went back, home. God spohe to them, as be has spoken to the hearts of many who have bowed at the manger, and they went back to their own country. History is silent about their later lives, but we cannot think that they would ever the explosion that would mean a forget that steange experience.
