Three Wise Men
ONE Christmas mystery remains
unsolved. Who were the wise men
of the east—the magi who fol
lowed the star of Bethlehem from afar
to do homage to the newborn Saviour?
_ It Is fair to assume from the fact
that the visitors were received at court
by King Herod and that they carried
gifts of value that they were In their ’
own country men of royalty or close
to It. Herod evidently deemed It well
to treat them with deference, foil dis
quieted though he was by their news
of the comet that was to lead them to
the birthplace of the Redeemer he dis
sembled and told them that when they
had found the newborn he would re
turn to worship with them.
Much of our Information alwut the
early days of the Christian era comes
from the monks of the fourteenth cen
tury, who delved deeply Into historical
sources since lost to the world. Their
story of the three wise men lias recelv- >
ed wide credence. According to these j
monks, the wise men wore three great
kings railed Caspar, Melchior and Bal
thasar. Caspar was the oldest and
from the north. At the time of the
birth of Christ he was sixty years old,
and for more than two-thirds of that
time he had ruled In Arabia. Bnlthu
sar was black, a native of Saba, from
the cast, uud forty years old. The
youngest was Melchior, from the south,
whose country was Tarshish. He was
twenty years old.
Impelled by some mysterious power,
they dropped all the cares of state and
followed a single star thirteen days
and nights, without eating or sleeping,
till it led them to Jerusalem.
Then the story follows that of the
Bible until they returned to their own
countries.
Tlie story does not stop here. It tells
circumstantially the after life of the
three wise men. The good Apostle St.
Thomas journeyed to their country and
baptized them, and all three went out
to preach the doctrine of the Christ.
They were slain by barbarous gen
tiles, and later the Empress Helena,
mother of Constantine, recovered their' -
sacred bones and took them to Con- t
stuutlnople. Thence they were carried
to Milan and finally found on ultimate
resting place in Cologne,’ where they
now are.—New York Post.
