Their story Is told in part tuns in the Gospel *a» cording to St. Matthew: Now when Jesus was boil in Bethlehem of Judea In the days of Herod the King, behold, there came wise men from the Bast to Jerusalem. Saying, where Is he that Is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star In the Bast, and are come to worship him. When Herod the King had heard these things, fefe was troubled, and all Jerusalem with htm. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. j,,. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Ji fW thus it la written by the prophet. And thou, Bethlehem, in the land of Judea, art not the least among the princes of Judea; for nut of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. Then Herod, when lie had privily called tti1 wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. g And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Ql and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed, and, lo, the star, which they saw In the East, welt, before them, till It came and stood over where' the young child was. < .* When they saw the star, thay rsjoleed exceeding great Joy. - ^ least eight big, plump, tender fruit-meats to tfte slice.

And certainly It is a message well worth listening to. For from his experience he could say to us: "You have served God only as yon have served And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child, with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshiped him: and when they opened their treasure, they presented unto gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh. And being warned of God in a dream that thtp should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. These Three Wise Men were named Melchior* Kaspar and Balthazar. They are sometimes called the "Three Kings of Cologne." Their bones a$q" said to rest in the cathedral of Cologne.

Melchtor and Balttussr. f?tsy for us now . And In the hour of death. Early tradition supplemented this account by adding a fourth wise man. And the story of this fourth wise man is one for us all to keep in mind at Christmas time. This fourth wlee man started with the other three to make the journey to Jerusalem and pay homage to the new-born King. But he never reached the manger where lay the child. Instead be sacrificed his life to render service. Never* theless, before he died he was granted a vision of the Christ. Henry Van pyfee's "The Story of the Other Wise •Iffm" tells (Che tradition most eg» cetledtty well : Detained by hli efforts to ftave a dying strangaii Artaban becomes separated from his companions. He, therefore, seeks the Christ alone, traveling from glace to placft, feeding the hungry as he goes, clothing 4he naked, nurslnr the sick, comforttag the oppressed.

Three-and-thirty yean have I looked after.

The Christian dtlsen should be serving God In relation to his home, his community and his nation. There are those who are serving God by trying to improve the conditions under which their less privileged fellows live and work, by trying to bring more of justice, beauty, peace and love into the life of the world. It is to be feared that most 5of us fall far short here. But he Is a poor Christian and a poor citizen Indeed who# having, can pnss Christmas without doing something in keeping with the day for those who have not. Everywhere In our modern Twentieth century life we meet the very people whom Jesus painted in living words 2,000 years ago--the prodigal son, who "came to himself"; the elder brother, who "was angry and would not go in"; the i/riest and |he Levlte, who "passed by on the other side"; the » ' " ^ Sigood Samaritan, who "was moved with compasvision"; the Pharisee, wbo thanked God that he was \fnot as other men are"; the publican, who cried f ^WV^T'God be merciful unto me, a sinner!" At Christmas time, }f at no other, it Is well for ns to be the publican and the good Samaritan. ' • • • • • • Without Christmas tree, holly and mistletoe phiistmas would seem strange Indeed to most ^Americans. The balsam fir Is most used for ^^christmas trees, but doubtless almost any kind of evergreen can be used In an emergency. And Some of the municipal and community center Christmas trees nowadays are of great sis^ especially when they are set up outdoors. The photograph of the Christ mas tree reproduced herewith is worth studying as something quite out of the ordinary In several respects. In the first place, In the q^iginal photograph three separate exposures of the plate were made--the first for the building and its lights; the second for the Christmas tree and its lights, and the tilled for the moon. Bach exposure varied in length to 1 Suit the different degrees of brilliance. And where do you suppose this unusual photograph was taken?1 Why. at the annual Christmas celebration in Yosemite vslley, Yoisemlte National park. California. Most people think that all the nat^nal parks are closed in the winter time. Well, they are not. Rocky Mountain National park in Colorado has a carnival of winter sports in February. Mount Ralpler National park In Washington 'lias winter sports and a ski tournament as late as July. And Yosemite Is open the year "round. And Yosemlte's Christmas celebration includes a fat, jolly, fur-clad Santa Oaus who drives up In the eld-fashloned way in his Sleigh and distributes hie gifts to the village children. Bnt that Isn't all about this unusual picture. What kind of a tree do you suppose the Christmas -tree Is? You could not guess If your Christmas gift depended upon your guess. That's because It is the only one of its kind in the whole world. This Christmas tree Is nothing less than a living Sequoia tree. The Sequoia (SequoLa gigantea) is |be oldest and biggest living thing in the world. Some of the biggest and oldest at Hmm a*e<S5 fiat U diameter and st least -5,000 years old. So see many of these Big Trees In Sequoia and Y Ite national parks were not even middle-aged w Christ was born in Bethlehem. This particular Sequoia Christmas ti planted in 1890. From a seedling it has grown to a height of more than 00 feet. A thousand years from now It will probably be nearly 800 feet tall and have a diameter of 15 or 20 feet. One wonders if there will be a similar Christmas celebration in Yos&nlte valley then--a thousand years from now. Why not? Christmas will still be celebrated then--if the world endures, our nineteen national parks have been set apart by congress as public playgrounds for the people forever. So, If the United States of America en- • dives, why not a Christmas celebration in Yoeemlte A. D. 2022? All that seems to be necessary la the planting of a Sequoia seedling every thirty years or so.

Why, the two go together--Just tike Thanksgiving and pumpkin pie and the Fourth'of July and spring lamb and green peas. The first mince pie of the winter should grace the Christmas board; any housewife who gtvea her family even a taste of one before Christmaa day should go without a new Easter hat--that's the puigjshment to fit the crime. And any man who eats mince pie at a restaurant or at his club before Christmas day , Should go without mince pie aD winter. JHowever, if he should, his punishment would likely fit the Crime. For nowadays the making of mlhce pies is largely a lost art. The ordinary restaurant mince pie is nothing but minced fruit There is a saying that every really good woman cook must have a temper. Maybe. Certainly she should be nice and plump--as if she ate her own mince pies and thrived on them. And It's essy to tell by watching a woman make mince pies Whether or not they're going to be a success. If she goes at It, you Vnow, as If It were sort of a religious rite--ss If the fate of the nation huag on l»er work--why, all is well. •fPles like mother used to make!* Tenderlota i»f boef and Northern Spy apples and real cider and everything else to correspond! Maybe mother ssrd to bake her pies a dozen at a time and set then away in a cold store room to freeze. Maybe Brother got her mince meat ready and set It aside tn a big stone jar to ripen. It doesn't make any difference. They were real mince pies when they got to the Christmas dinner. The looks of thentf The smell of them! The taste of them! Yum, yum! There's a memory a fellow can carry with him to his grave. Po you remember Izaak Walton's friend Dr. Botteler and his famous sppreciatlon of the stra«rbei^ ryt Well, it's quite evident the good doctor never sat down to Just the right kind of a Christmaa dinner or be would have ignored the strawbei ry aa unworthy of his cleverness and would have said Instead that doubtless God could have inspired some heaven-born cook to make a more appropriate dessert for December 25 than mince pie but-thar. dud* less God never did.
