ITRANStATED FOR TUB DISrATCII.l
On the banks of a clear, swift-flowinc
stream, stood a large water-mill, whose two
treat wheels turned busily, night and day,
and with, a roaring, splashing sound hurled
the water from its immense paddles. The
mill was built of red stone, and all the wood
work about it was painted a bright green.
Around the building grew tall linden trees,
whose graceful tops were mirrored in the
crystal brook, and the fragrance of whose
blossoms, in the spring time, drew countless
bees toward them.
May had come. The bancs of the brook
were covered with those little blue flowers,
called forget-me-nots. The trees were put
ting forth their tender green leaves, and the
fi6h, who had lived all winter under the
frozen ttream, now in their joy over the re
turn of spring, sometimes leaped clear out
of the water. The birds were all home again
after their visit to warmer climes, and the
meadows rang with their voices, as they
chatted to their mates and planned about
the nests thev were building. Aud at night
when all was still tne nightingale raised its
sweet voice, ami all the other birds awoke
lrom their slumbers to listen to the rich
xnelodv, and then fell asleep again and
dreamed of paradise and sunnv realms.
The sallow, because they to admired
human dwellings, had, unlike the other
bird. uilt their nests in the old mill, whose
projecting gable roof afforded protection
from the rain and the wind. This summer
they had come in great numbers, and had
built their small brown nests in long rows
on the red stone, and the parent birds were
kept busy trying to fill the tver-onen mouths
of their young with flies, gnats and other in
serts which swarmed over the mill pond.
The miller's son was a fat, stnpid bov,
who cared for little else than eating and
eleepinc; hut when he saw the swallows'
nests he said: "What right have those lazy
THE MILLER
birds to build their nests in my father's mill?
I shall soon drive them away." and taking a
stone he aimed it a swallow flying above his
head, and struck the bird with such force
that the poor little creature fell lifeless into
the mill pond. "When the father bird re
turned from his search after food lor his
hungry children, he found the seven little
swrfltows crying for the mother, and he knew
not bow to comfort them. Then he began to
look for bis faithful mate; but although he
sought in field and forest and called in bis
sweetest tones, he could gain no reply. Then
a neighbor said to him: "Friend swallow,
your mate is dead. I saw the miller's son
strike her with a stone, and she fell into the
mill pond."
These words brought great sorrow to the
swallow, and he wondered what would be
come of his motherless children. Kear the
brook stood an old willow tree, which bent
over the water, and wnose low-drooping
branches dipped into the waves. In this
tree lived a fairy, who was as good as she
was beautiful. Her shining eyes were as
blue as the heavens above, and in her long
golden hair was entwined a garland ot forget-me-nots.
Early every miming, and in
the evening, the fairy sang the sweetest
songs; but no one heard her save the birds,
and by them only was she seen, with the ex
ception ot a water nymph, who had his home
under the mill pond. The nymph was old
and gray. He had green eyes with red lids,
and be always sat in his stone grotto, where
he seized all the crabs which by chance
wandered into his den, and be frightened
away all the fish which ventured into the
cool grotto. For the nymph was a very
thoughtful person and did not wish to have
his meditations disturbed by any intruders.
The swallows were especially disagreeable
to him, for their continual flying
back and forth and their constant
chatter made so much confusion thai
the old nymph coulJ scarcely think.
Therefore tne swallow in his trouble did not
turn to the nviuph in his grotto, but flew
directly to the home of the fairy in the old
willow and told Ins trouble." When the
good fairy had beard all she was very angry
indeed with the miller's son, and declared
that he should suffer for his cruelty to the
mother swallow. She then said: "In this
tree is a nest, which has been deserted by
its owners. Bring your children here and i
shall help vou care for them."
Very carefully the father bird carried the
seven "little swallows to the nest in the old
willow, where they were warm and well
fed. But the old bird grieved so deeply for
his lost mate that he soon drooped and died,
and the fairy buried him on the shore ot
the mill pond.
rAndnowtbe kind fairy did not neglect
the orphan birds, and as the little creatures
grew older and stronger they learned to
love their good friend, and were always ready
to obey her slightest call. They promised
never to forsake her, but always to have
their home in the old willow tree. The
nymph, who very much disliked the chat
tering of the swallows, and who had little
fauh in their promises, said to the fairy:
'Why do you trouble yourself about those
noisy birds? They are ungrateful creatures,
and as soon as they are able to take care ot
themselves, they will seetc other homes, and
will no longer remember you. And I, for
one, shall be glad when they are gone, for
their loud, boisterous ways trouble me."
The lairy only smiled at this illnatured
remark of the nymph, for she did not believe
that the little birds, for whom she hid fo
tenderly cared, and whom she loved so
dearly, would ever leave her for other
friends. But the nymph's prophecy proved
true, for when the long summer days came,
and the air was soft and warm and the
fields, abloom, with flowers, then the young
iwsllowj learned to use their wings, ana
one after the other, having in their flights
through the forest made many friends, went
with them to lands even more beautiiul than
their own and forgot to return to the tairy
and the home in the old willow. Onlrcne
little swallow, whom the fairy called Faith
ful, remained true to her promise. Every
evening she would tell the fairy of what
she had seen during the day. and then the
fairy would relate about fairyland and sing
her "sweetest songs. Even the old nymph
grew to be fond ot Faithful and would
olten invite her into his grotto, and listen
with interest, while the little bird told of
her travels.
One evening, when the long summer was
drawing to a close, the fairy watched in
vain lor the return of Faithlnl. A heavy
storm had arisen and the Fairy thonght: "My
little bird has sought shelter from the storm
and will surely hasten home in the morn
ing." But the next day came and still the swal
low did not return, and in the evening she
was yet absent Then the nymph slid: 'I
told you that those birds were ungrateful,
aud now this one, too, has cone, just as we
were learning to trust her."
But the lairy said: "Some harm has
come to my Faithful, and if I knew where
she was I should go to her."
On the second evening, as the fairv was
again watching for the bird, a great black
crow flew to the willow tree, and said: "I
come to bring you news from the little awal
loir. Last evening, when she was flying
toward home, the miller's son struck her
with a stone, and now, severely wounded,
she lies among the bushes in the meadow.
I have cared lor her the best I knew; but
she grows no better, and 1 have come for
you."
KSbe fairy lost no time in hastening to
Faithful and in bringing her home, but al
though both she and the nymph lavished
every attention upon the bird, little Faith
ful grew worse and finally died. The firy
buried the little body under the willow
tree, and planted blue forget-me-nots over
S CRUEL SON.
the grave and watered the flowers with her
tears.
The nymph now. declared that punish
ment should speedily overtake the miller's
son, and the next day when the boy was
fishing in the mill pond, the nymph seized
him, carried him into his grotto, and threw
countless crabs upon him, after which he
hurled him upon the bank. The crabs
pinched with their sharp claws until the
bov cried out with pain, and the men in the
mill ran to his assistance. But from that
time the rich miller's son always had-a
large, red nose, and as he passed through
the village streets the children would point
their fingers at him and crv: "There goes
the boy whose nose has become so large and
red because be was cruel to the little swal
lows." Patsik.

A EEMAKKABLE CAT.
Some of the Peculiarities of a Feline Epicure
in Brooklyn.
"Broady" is a big Brooklyn cat. He is a
Maltese of the deepest dye. Seven years of
life have passed ovr his shapely head, but
each year has added to bis store of intelli
gence. Now he is probably the best in
formed cat in the block in which he prowls.
"Broadv," says the New York Serald,
is very regular in his habits. When
meal time rolls around he is always
found meowing in front of the refrigerator
in which his food is stored. And there he
stays, crying aud scratching, until some
body attends to his wants. This he does
three times a day.
Although particular about the hour at
which he is fed, he is more so in regard to
-what he eats. Calves' liver, raw, too, is the
only thing he indnlges in. Nothing else,
not even chicken, fish or other tidbits dear
to the feline heart can tempt him from the
liver.
His memory is strong, for he never forgets
a friend or forgives a foe. When his master
returns from business at the usual hour
"Broady" is at the door to greet him with
his deep, musical purr. If his master is not
on time "Broadv" slinks away to bis favor
ite place, on a chair near the kitchen range,
but when his master returns he is all ani
mation, and springs up to receive a caress.
Outside of occasional incursions into the
precincts infested by rats and mice, he sel
dom absents himself from home. And there
he receives every attention. Nothing is too
good for him, although his wants are few.
When he wishes a drink of water he climbs
upon the sink and mews. Two plaintive
cries notify the household that he is thirsty,
and water is soon forthcoming.
At the dining table he is a favored guest
His chair is placed beside that of his mas
ter regularly, but he will not take it until it
has been nicely cushioned with a newspaper.
And the loud'er it crackles the better he
likes it. There he sits, quietly gazes upon
each member of the family in turn until the
meal is concluded, aud then he leaves the
table promptly with the diners. Having
beeu well and carefully trained, be is able
to participate in conversations like these:
"Hello, 'Broady," are you feeling well
this morning?" somebody asks.
"Meow," he will respond.
That means "Yes."
"Want some liver?"
"Meow." This is always uttered with em
phasis.
Two cries are taken for a negative reply,
and three, accompanied by the same num
ber of scratches, signify that he desires to
have a door opened. He dislikes whistling,
and if anyone does so, he "meows" twice
and stalks out of the room in which bis tor
mentor is. He sleeps in the same apartment
as his master, is almost as valuable as a
watchdog, and, taken all in all, is quite a
remarkable cat '

THE MOUNTAIN BIDE AT EYEKTIDE
rCOnnXSFOXDEXCX OF the DISPATCH. 1
Flobence, Italy, Dec 26. About the
year 1480, at the dawn of the gulden age in
Italy, there were daily gathered at the table
of the chief citizen of If lorence, such men
as Pulci, Fillippino Lippi, Botticelli,
Ghirlandajo and Michael Angelo. The
host, whose wealth and matchless attain
ments made him known among the poten
tates and savants of Southern Europe as
"Lorenzo, the Magnificent," wrote a pas
toral poem of wondrous sweetness and power
called "La Nencia.Da Barbarlno.'' I was
once in a position (being an editor, worse
lucki) to have this little-known though sur
passing composition translated for the first
time into English, in the original meter, by
no lest a scholar and poet than Sir Edwin
Arnold. The poem, comprising 300 lir.es,
depicts in simple, though glowing words
and imagery, the homeless and consuming
passion of the shepherd lad, "Eavellaj".' for
a dainty peasant girl, "Nencia.'.' One can
not read this lowly life heart-cry without
the awakening in his own soul oi a thrilling
and commisserative tenderness for the hum
ble lives it so plaintively reveals; and it
was with this feeling that I sought, perhaps
over-much, for the poetic and romantio side
of the picture, to know the real every-day
lives ot those who tend the flocks and herds
of Italy.
My first wanderings were in Southern
Italy, the territory of olden Apulia. Here
the shepherds are not only a distinct class,
but, though holding themselves aloof from
all other peasant classes, are almost a dis
tinct race. In ancient times all this country
was subject to scourging depredations by
the Saracens, to an extent requiring that
people should herd together in walled towns
for protection to life aud property. Then
nearly the entire population of old Apulia
were shepherds. They drove their herds
from the towns to the mountains, returning
for safety at night
Unchanged by Twenty Centuries.
The dependents of these in a direct line
for more than 2,000 years, are doing that
identical thing to-day, not for safety but
from traditionary custom. 'All those.who
exist in Southern Italy to-day who are not
shepherds, goatherds and herdsmen, form
the population of cities and towns and com
prise the contadini or field laborers; and
the ancestors of all these may be said to
have gradually grown away from the shep
herd's life, rather than that the shepheid's
of our time are a product of new forms of
rural economic necessities. They rarely
intermarry with other classes. When they
do they instantly depart from the flocks, are
absorbed iu lo'wer orders of the cities, or
become the most desperately hopeless of
the human cattle that labor in the fields.
The pride in their own descent, in the ex
clusiveness of their class, in the long line of
shepherd ancestrr they can trace, amounts
almost to a passion. It is practically the
one pride they possess. This isolation of
blood and interest has preserved interesting
traces in physiognomv. They are wonder
fully Saracenic in their look. The tall,
slender, supple figure, the oval face and
shining skin, the neck, tiny at the throat,
spreading quickly and heavily in protuber
ent muscles, like a broad-butted tree, to the
shoulders, the yellowish-blue tinge of the
white of the eye.the distended nostrils, and
the dazzling teeth, all pronounce; the East
ern origin and retained' physiological affini
ties. ' .
Like Our Western Stocktralls.
In every pf rt of Southern Italy you will
come upon a broad, grass-grown highway.
It is called the "traturo." For 20 centuries
it has served the taine purpose. It can be
nearly likened to our own vast Western
stocktrails leading; from "grass to grass"
when herds are driven northward, fattening
on their way to the great live stock markets.
On this "traturo" occurs the yearly spring
exodus from the lower valleys and coast
wise moors and marshes to the Apnlian
Mountain summer pastures. In the autumn
hundreds of thousands return along these
ancient ways. During the winter the herds
men and shepherds live in town hovels or in
huts near the towns and villages. The herds
and flocks are then 'driven out to and re
turned from daily grazing. But in the sum
mer time on the mountain sides is the real
outdoor life of the guardian of the flocks and
nerda.
Whether he be herdsman, goatherd or
shepherd, he is usually given charge of a
flock or herd of from 50 to 100 animals.
Among the cattle, and herding in common
with them, are large numbers oi a species of
buffalo, smaller and less hairy than the now
extinct American bison. Iu aheidoflOO
cattle, 20 will be provided with unmusical
bells. In a flock of as many sheep twice
as many will have bells, some of which are
exceedingly melodious; and the quality of
his bells are of more concern to the Apulian
shepherd than that ot his sheep. The latter
are odd little poddy creatures. Nearly all
aie black. Their legs and hoofs are black
and shiny as ebony drum-sticks. Their
eyes are exceedingly small aud a brilliant
yellow; while the little creatures are as agile
as chamois.
Weird, strange groups are these which
follow the flocks and herds to the mountains.
lSearly every shepherd of Southern Italy is
married. He marries young. He rears, or
rather there grows, seemingly all uncon
scious to himself, a large family. The sons
marry other shepherds' daughters; the
daughters, other shepherds' sons. Himself
perhaps born in the grass by the side of the
"traturo," in a cleit of some rock in the
edge of a torrent's gravina, or in some low
hut on hill or moor, he emerges from baby
hood to childhood a nomad; is a nomad in
youth and manhood; he mates as a nomad;
and never ceasps a nomadic life until the
quicklime of some village Campo Sauto
consumes his bones. So that to every flock
belongs a family.
The tatterdemalion group possesses no
home but that of the daily grazing land of
the flock. Their sole possessions never equal
$5 in value. Their total earnings do not
exceed 11 cents per day. Like Wallachian
Gipsies they squat anywhere for rest and
sleep, and eat anything that will sustain
life. If they possess a single aspiration on
earth, it ls'tbat secret one of so many other
Italian field and moor laborers to "take to
the hills;" that is, to become outright
brigands.
A Picturesque Being.
Universal indolence and repugnance to
effort are 'safeguards against this. The
Apulian shepherd himself is a picturesque
fellow enough, despite your consciousness of
his vacuous ignorance, bis unvarying cruel
ty to his flocks, and his utter sodden, rather
than active, brutality to his wife and chil
dren, who serve as his pack-mules, like the
American squaws, for transporting his
slender belongings to the lulls. Tall, and
straight as an arrow, he is clad from head to
foot in undressed skins. A bifurcated gar
ment ot untanned bide, fashioned after the
pattern of that one so well known to Ameri
can dress reform ladies, lorms a sort of
waistcoat and trousers combined.
The latter are opened at the sides, below
the knees often displaying gaudy buttons
ornamenting the sides of his half-gaiter,
undressed skin boots. Over his waistcoat is
a long, loose armless jacket of hide, pro
vided with numberless pockets, his rain
proof storehouse of meager treasures. A
jaunty, brigandish hat sets perkily upon
his fine, curly head, and brings into striking
relief his olive skin, his large, grave eves
and crinkly, curly beard a half Egyptian
tvne. one would sav. to see it renroduced in
I painting. Blanc from his right shoulder
across his left hip by a broad band ot hide,
with occasionally the priceless treasure of a
polished brass or bronze buckle, is the
inseparable capsella or shepherds' pouch.
A rusty carbine, which is never discharged,
or a stout staff as high as his breast but
never the shepherds' crook of the olden
tales and modern tableaux vivants com
pletejthe picture.
Awakened tlie Hailstorms.
On the mountain sides the life of this
shepherd family is a changeless one the
whole summer long, unless the terrible bail
storms of Southern Italy fall upon the
mountains, or the still more destructive
windstorms, that frequently fling both shep
herds and flocks lrom the crags to death,
come whistling over peak or howling
through gravina. Then the hnman marmot
awakens from his lethargy and accomplishes
prodigious feats of strength and -wondrous
acts of valor, iu rescuing endangered mem
bers of the flock or of his own terrified
brood.
His food is polenta and chestnut-flour
bread. He is the one Italian who drinks
water instead of wine. His fiejd-lore, though
uncomcinus to himself, is marvelous. When
spurred by extreme hunger, all mountain
moorland birds are doomed where be sets his
snare. It is n wild, strange, melancholy
land he looks down upon, if he have the en
ergy for looking. His wife and children
around him are as voiceless as himself and
his flocks. The very melody of the sheep
bells becomes a meaningless din. One car
ries away from his environment and com
panionship with him only a pathetic sense
of his hopelessness and degradation. You
can only remember him as another animal
in hairy hide, insensate to the trumpeting!
of eternal nature around him.
Shepherds of the North.
But there are other shepherds in Italy of
whom a sunnier picture can be drawn.
These are the shepherds and shepherdesses
of the peasants' lesser flocks in Piedmont, in
Lombardy, in radiant Tuscany, and even in
pestiferous, death-breeding Maremme, on
the Tyrrhene sea. There are many among
these who, like the Apulian shepherds,
have descended from shepherd ancestors,
and who all their lives soddenly follow the
one vocation. But in the main they are the
little folks and the youths and wives of all
the peasantry.
In Northern Italy' the peasantry are a
happier folk than those of the South. The
beauty of the cities, quaintness and peace
fulness of the villages and hamlets, the
radiance of the valleys and the noble pic
turesqueness of the forests and mountains,
seem to have given a reflexive peaceful
ness, sunniness and even virility to the
people. Their shepherds do not possess the
grave,- sad, vacuous faces of the South.
Companionship accounts largely for this. In
the North the shepherd is always one of the
villagers. He or she shares their every-day
life. The feasts, espousals, marriage's, fu
nerals, all are theirs for enjoyment and con
templation. Nearly every family has its
own little flock. Oiten several of these are
merged into a larger flock and taken to the
highest mountain lands for the entire sum
mer. In such cases a shepherd and his
family accompany them, aud they live much
as do their kind in Apulia. Iu October the
same flock will be driven to the moors and
marshes of Maremme, where the shepherd
and his family subsist almost entirely on
snared wild fowl, which come here in
mvriads to escape the winters of the British
Isles, the Baltic regions and the German
forests.
A Day With the Flocks.
Bnt tens of thousands of little flocks led
by tens of thousands of little shepherds and
shepherdesses leave the village gregia or
sheeptold and home every morning for the
higher glades. Sometimes a dog, often a
pig trained to herd the flock, goes with
them. It a maiden has charge of the flock,
she will have her spindle or knitting, and
will work and sing and tend her flock, the
whole day long. Ifalador stripling lead
a flock, he will let the pig or the dog tend

thus gathered. I have counted more than
100 of these little flocks descending from the
mountains with the sheoherds at eventide.
The valleys are voiceful with thousands of
tinkling hells, with the notes' from hundreds
of sheoherds' flutes, with the trilli of scores
of shepherds' songs. Then, as the shadows
fall softly upon the hamlets, comes the

Have the person whose name .you wish to
know iuform you in which of the upright
columns the first letter of the name is con
tained. If it is found in but one colnron,itis
the top letter; if it occurs in more than one
column, it is lound by adding the alphabet
ical numbers of the top letters of the col
umns in which it is to bd found, the sum
being the number of the letter sought. By
taking one letter, at a time, iu the
way outlined above, the whole word
or name may be plainly spelled out.
Take the word Jane for example. J is
lound in two columns beginning with Band
H, which are the second and eighth letters
down the alphabet; their sum is ten, and the
tenth letter down the alphabet is J, the let
ter sought. The next.letter, A, appears, in
but oue column, the first, where it stands at
the head. N is seen in the column headed
B, D and H, which are the second, fourth
and eighth letters of the alphabet; added,
they give the fourteenth, or N, and so on.
HEEEDITY AUD DISEASE.
The Common Theory Is a Cruel Fetich of
Quasi Science as the Facts Show.
Philadelphia ITess.J
"Do not think you are going to cough
your life away because 'consumption is
hereditary in oue family,' " says a famous
Philadelphia physician. "Facts show that
the decided majority of victims of this ter
rible malady are the original cases; no taint
can be discovered in ancestry. The majority
of consumptives, I reassert, are the first
cases in the family. I have it on good au
thority in pnlmonary maladies that de
cidedly the vast majority of the offsprings
of consumptives finally die of other diseases.
It is not to be denied that there is a law of
heredity in disease. But the children pre
disposed to consumption, for instance, being
forewarned, are forearmed to caution; tak
ing excellent care of themselves they out
last their more 'thoughtless neighbors.
Probably over 80 per cent of the insane are
original cases; that is, in neither branch of
the family, within three generations,
can be found an insane ancestor.
So live under no ancestral shadow.
Live in your own sunshine. A merciful
Creator has given us each our day. The
dead can neither hinder nor help us mnch.
We have our chance. There is, however,
this curious discovery that I have made.
Many people seem to actually regard such
respect for their hereditary bents iu the nat
ure ol filial piety. They think it sacrilegious
to die of any but an inherited malady. They
on it.''
FOLLOWING HIS STAR.
Lesson of the Wise Men Who Game
to the Bethlehem Manger
TO WORSHIP THE ISPAKT KING.
It Was Not a Mission of Gain, hut of Sub
lime Unselfishness,
WHAT THEY SAAV IS THE HEATENS
IWIUTTEK FOB TUB DISPATCH.
"We have seen his star in the east, and
we are come fo worship him." They saw,
they came, they worshiped; and then they
went away again into their own land, leav
ing behind them the memory oi their good
example.
One good thing about these "wise men"
was that they saw the star saw it, that is, in
the right way. Everybody saw the star. You
cannothide a star. But a great many people
who saw it did-not see it did not see it in
the right way, did not recognize it For
real sight is not the reflection of an object in
the eye, but rather the sort of reflection that
goes on in the mind behind the eye. It is
the mind that sees.- The eye is only an optical
instrument which the mind uses. Every
body saw the star with their eyes. But
out ot all the world, only this little company
of wise men seem to have seen the star with
their minds.
How they came to be different from other
men, and to recognize the star, we know not
Perhaps there w?s some dim tradition in
their country, handed down from the days
of Balaam, about a star and a sceptre.
Some think that Balaam was a "wise man,"
one of the magi, past master in the astrolo
gical fraternity. And that Balaam, off
there in the east, did say something about a
star of Jacob and a sceptre of Israel, is plain
enough. Perhaps there were more devout
Jews in their neighborhood, who had told
tho wise men about the old prophecies, and
so given them a sort ot preparation for read
ing the gospel in the stars.
What Astronomers Say.
Perhaps, and perhaps. The truth is, we
know nothing about it None of the ex
planations begin to explain 'it There was
a star. The wise men who study the sky in
our own day will tell us that Every 800
years, three great planets meet within the
boundaries of a single constellation. And
their meeting is a sight which everybody
who has eyes looks at We will never see
it with our eyes for the last meeting was in
the winter of the year 1603. But the wise
men saw it. They saw it two years before
the date which is agreed npon for the birth
of Christ If they looked up into the sky in
Hay, or October, or December of that year,
they could not miss it.
Three times that year, Saturn, Mars and
Jupiter stood together in the constellation
Piscis. And in 1G03, when Kepler saw
that sight a fourth star, bright, glowing,
peculiarly colored and evanescent, joined
the siderfal company. These was a star,
and the wise men saw it, and they said one
to another, "there is the King's star; He is
born in the West," and they came and wor
shiped Him. And that is all of the story
that we know.
The truth of God shines in this world as
clear as the everlasting stars. And we all
see it with our eyes, and hear it with our
ears. But a great many of us somehow
miss of the recognition of it And those
who do recognize the truth arever'y often
quite unable to tell ns why or how they
know it There is a great difference -between
their seeing and our seeing. Certain
phrases seem to mean a whole world more
to them than they do to us. But there does
not appear to be any adequate explanation.
We are as much in the dark about it as we
are about the wise men. But it is a fact.
They do see and we don't see.
A Bace of Blind Men.
"The wind bloweth where it listetfa, and
thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst
not tell whence it cometh or wither it goeth:
so is everyone that is born of the spirit"
And to recognize the truth of God, and to
be born of the spirit of God, are very much
the same thing. What a difference in peo
ple, in their perceptions intellectual,
Esthetic, spiritual! How many, having
eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not! Up
above, the star, ana clown below, a whole
race of blind men! Here, close before us
all, the truth ol God, "and few there be that
find it" s
Few there be, perhaps, that really try to
find ir, that would account for it The wise
man tried; we may.be sure of. That they
were honest men, and earnest men, desirous
of truth, keeping their hearts and minds
open to it. We know all that about them,
because they found the truth. God never
tells His truth to, any other sort of men.
But to such men always.
We want to know the truth of God. If
there are any remarkable stars up there in
the sky, we want to see them. God is our
Father. The blood of Jesus Christ, his Sou,
cleanseth us from all sin. Is that really
true? Is it true for you? Follow the best
'religious litiht.you have; and you will learn
whether it is true or not. Why, those wise
men were but pagans, and yet God spoke to
them, Slake the most of all the truths you
know; do the will of God, as you understand
it, fnlly as you can; put yourself within
reach ot all the uplilting, spiritual influ
ences which you can find; pray God for
light And God will give you light You
will be like the wise men you will see.
Seelns Is Not All.
Another good thing about the wise men
was that when they saw they did not stop
there. They did something! They came.
Nobody knows just where they came from.
From Arabia, most scholars think. Anyhow,
from some long distance, over a hard and
dangerous way; a twcMreapj' journey, some
figure it They must have been very sure
befure they started out ou such an adventur
ous quest us that.
Faith aud works always go together.
Faith is never unfruitful. If there are no
fruits of the spirit in a man's life and con
versation something is the matter with the
man's spirit. There is only one way to be
sure that a man has faith, aud that is the
way by which we discover that a field has
been planted. The harvest shows it 'No
harvest, no seed; or no good soil for seed.
No works, no faith. The man who sees the
star separates himself at once from the com
pany of blind men and proceeds to do some
thing. And you know tnat he has seen the
star by the testimony of his deed. Whoever
saw that star and sat still did not see it, ex
cept with the eye.
You can always tell the good Christians,
the men and women who have seen the star.
They are at work. They are not disobed
ient to the heavenly visioH. They are doing
something. People took note of the dis
ciples that they had been with Jesus. They
knew that by the behavior of the disciples.
Whoever knowsChri't, as the example of
onr daily life, as the Savior from the burden
of our sins, as the manue station of the love
of God, ot the .nature of God, cannot sit
down idly as if he had seen nothing. He
must"- follow Christ, as the wise men fol
lowed the star.
The Whole World Sneered.
The wise men followed, the star alone out
of alLArabia. None else joined their com
pany. Among all the star-gaz-rs these only
began a journey. They sat out alone, and
nobody joined them all the way, even to
Bethlehem. The hardest part of it must
have been In Jerusalem. "Where is He
that is born King of the Jews?'' they asked
in the streets. And nobody could answer
nobody knew that any King of the Jews had
been born anywhere. And the very possi
bility troubled them the King was born;
the Savior has come into the world; the
Messiah, looked for along the years, was at
last among them, and the reigning king
"was troubled" (tbst was not unnatural)
and "all Jerusalem with him." That was
the hard part of it .
This company of pagans enters the Holy
city and asks for the King of the Jews, and.
vrvlviri ! trnn h1d. Ttv And hv thlt IfMil-
I enoi the Jewish, religion answer tho paean'!
question. Bethlehem, they say.is the place.
But nobody stirts for Bethlehem. The
King, indeed, says that he intends to start
as soon as the wise men bring him word
again. (Yes, and with a sword in his hand!)
But no one else even makes so much as a
lying promise. The're is the difference again
between seeing and seeing. The priests and
the Pagans are possessed of the same infor
mation. But the priests stay in Jerusalem.
They point the way to Bethlehem if anyone
cares to journey thither, but they take no
step. The Pagans go along alone.
Faith That Is Brave.
And that, as I sav, was a pretty hard" test
of the pagaus' faith. People like the en
couragement of majorities. It helps us to
have the company of the wise and the good.
And when we find that we are alone, and
that the wise and the good, as men think,
do not seem to be touched by the spirit
which moves us, we hesitate. It is so hard
to go on alone. But the men who saw the
star did. And everybody who sees the star
to-day does.
"Tnis I know," the man says who sees the
star. '-Obstacles? Arguments? Criticisms?
Majorities? What care I? I know'"
And then, to find the King of the Jews in
a little, mean, cheap lodging-house no pal
ace, no retinue, no surroundings of state a
baby, in the arms of a Galilean peasant
woman, whose husband is a carpenter that
was another test That was another hard
thing in the way. And after the weariness of
the long journey, and afterthetroubled faces
of the people of Jerusalem and the solitary
pilgrimage over the hills between, what won
der if their hearts had failed them as they
stood in the narrow street and looked at the
poor, small housel
"The Discovery of Discoveries.
The greatest discovery in the whole world
is to discover God. God comes in ways
most unexpected, under forms mostuulikcly.
There is a deep significance in the old
legends. Where the cloak of rags falls
away from the beggar's shoulders, and be
hold", the Christ! To recognize Him always
in His brethren who need uplilting and
brotherly hands held out; in temptation, in
affliction, in sore pain and tronble, to find
Him ministering to us, bringing a blessing
it is the discovery of discoveries.
The wise men found Him. "And when
they were come into the house, they saw the
youngs child with Mary, his mother, and fell
down and worshiped Him." First they saw
the star, and then they saw the child. That
is the order of spiritual perception. The
reward of knowledge is more and better
knowledge. Whoever learns one truth of
God, and follows that, shall find anofier
and a higher.
And they worshiped him. That is the
third good thing aboit the wise men they
saw, they came, and they worshiped. And
they evidenced their worship by giving
something. "When they had opened their
treasures, they presented unto him gifts;
gold, and frankincense and myrrh." Some
say that they gave gold as a symbol of his
royally, and incense as a symbol of his
divinity, and myrrh (which was used at
funerals) as a symbol of his humanity.
Probably they brought gold because that
was one of the products of their country,
and frankincense and myrrh for the same
reason as the natural tribute which
strangers would offer r.t the court of a King.
The essential and important fact is that they
brought something the best they could.
Not to Ask a Favor.
Here is a company of men who have come
a long journey, and laced dangers and met
hardships, not to get anything, but to give
something. Why, you would have thought
that there was a fortune at the end of all
that bard traveling! "Where is He that is
born King of the Jews, for we have seen
His star in the eat and are come to ask a
favor of Him." That would be more like
human nature. Gifts? Yes. "Let us bring
Him gold, and franklncinse and myrrh. So
will we get our favor granted." There i.
no lack of people to bring gifts to kings.
But the gifts are apt to be given as a kind
of good investment Here, however, are
men who give and go away again, asking
nothing at all! Truly, a most notable oc
currence. Sometimes religion is nothing but pious
selfishness. We give we' give money, and
the time and trouble which our presence
at church costs, and some prayer, and some
obedience (when God doesn't ask too much
of us). But that is not the end of it Now,
what are we going to get? "Behold, we
have forsaken all aud followed thee; what
shall we have, therefore?" Even the apostles
wanted to know that
But here are the wise men, kneeling down
in the presence of the Christ, and worship
ing Him, and offering Him gifts. They
have no eyes and no mind for any sight but
the sight of His face. And just to see Him,
just to be near him, satisfies them. Their
hands are held out toward Him, not that
He may put something into them, but that
He may take something out of them a good
example for all of us.
God first, and our own selves a long way
afterward; to do "something for Him, first
and chie'; to kneel down and worship Him,
the supreme purpose of our church goirig;
to serve Him, 'for His own sake, that we
may please Him, because we love Him, the
supreme purpose of our life that is re
