.'OU.XSIX. W'Seked thought) ai.d puipo-cs
entered the lieait ot Herod, for the eeuitlon
of which he needed fuller Information. Where
!j this child, the piospectlvo King? He ii not
in the palace, neither in Jerusalem. The chic!
piicsts and fcribfs, the higli oftlrlals of the
ehureh, were called together and consulted.
They weie not, ns a rule, men of iiiety,- li
Clir. mil: II), but they weie acquainted Willi
tho Seiiptures. Seated in. tho tereat counsel
chamber they leprescnteil the bet leaiuing of
the nation (Matt, ii; 7). Herod iepiiicd them
to ted I him "when- Christ fihould bo bout." Tor
their reply they searched the sacicel writings
nor needed thev to seaieh long. The custo
dians of the paiehmcnts, with more cnie and
pieelsiou than wo cxeicise now, had a, n.VsUin
oi iiiilelng by whiili uny subject might be
quieKly examined (John v: 3D), and every de
tail concerning the Great King mi,'ht easily be
traced. Tho proof tevt was found (Mlcah v:
2), and tho answer was given, in the very lan
guage of the old prophet, who had wiltten seven
centuries! before. Here Is the Hrt Jewish tes
timony to Jioiis delivered in Ills Infancy, the be
ginning of that ovcrw helming evidence which
nftervvurd wiw employed in convincing the peo
ple that God's Annolntrd hod come,
OliDKIPi. Having obtained the desired Infor
mation, Heiod called the wise men and in
quired concerning the time when the star ap
peared. ThU was tho second step in working
out his hrndlsli dcidgu. Ilecausc uftcrwaid he
onlercd the salughter of all the Innocent yciis
old and under ICh. II: Id), It Ii thought ly
some that that indicated the time which they
gave him. They weie then tent to IMhlchcin,
with Infractions to seated foi the child mid
tu I'cluiu to Heiod and bring hliu woul. He
would make these wise and good men the ad
unre agents ot his crime, Whit coiisumuiato
h)poeiiy Is lids? What helllsli hate? The
l.oul of gloiy began Ills career with a mtuder
ouus Ling In M'.iuh of Him (Psalm II; 2), It
was a right thing which lleio.l pioposed--to
woislilp Jeus, emblematic nf tint honor which
all Kings must ultimately pay Illm (Ucv, .l;
21). Hut this iiintealed puipo-ii was the e.u
liest txpiekolou of tlut enmity of tlio umegen
erato heait whirh puivied Him throughout His
) I eel' and caused ills Ignominious death on the
noss (Mark rev: Hi).
JOI.TIXUV, The wise men depuitej fiom tho
piesence of Heiod, having learned what ihey
tought, the jty ot Hie llcslccnift's birth, Ileth

WOIlSlIll'. Jt'aUa wjs boin lu a stable ami
laid in a manger (I. tike ii: jr.). Our lesson nih
llu was In a Iioum when thu wise men came
(Veise 11). It bus been supposed that Jo-eph
was able to sceuie for moilier and ihild more
tcunfortable tUiners than tliO.se nt first obtained,
and tiadiiion lrpiesentu that the women of the
town, on hearing of tnc .advent, offered their
houses to the l.iitle Stranger. It must have
been an exciting occasion when the-o xisltoiw
fiom a far country gained admission to the
dwelling honorable men seeking a child! The
intelligence must have? hecn ra(iidly carried into
all -laits of tho village, (hawing tho people to
gether, doubtles", In gieat miinbt'i. Vailing
down proatiate, their faces to the floor. In
Oriental custom, tho wise men avon-hip tlte boy,
the future King. Then opening thcli treasuic,
biouglit piobably on tho backs of camels, they
presented their gifts, a custom in eastern coun
tries from time iinincinoii.il (Ccn. .xxwlii: E),
when Inferiois would humble themselves in tbe
presence of the great. "Gold, frankincense and
mvirh" weie ofteied, tho things usually be.
stowed upon Ulngi (i Kings x: 10).
WAHXKD, Wiclced men are not alwaa nf.
fercd to act their pleasute. Sometimes the
splilt of God restrains them by moving directly
upon their minds uud hearts (fix-, jtvlil: 11), At
other times that spirit prompts other men so
to act as to thwart their designs (l'ilm Lxxvi;
10), Heiod will not bo permitted to de-troy
tills boy Jesus, whoso time fer sacillielal death
is Mibciiuent to u long and noble service for
tuith (Matt. Ml: 21). The vvUo men whom
Im would employ ugalu-t Him, by a dream or
vision, a method long established (Numb. Ml;
ll), and frequently used dining the evangelical
ldvtoiy (Matt, xxvii: 10), were made awaio ot
the Mng'3 purpoe. Tho communication of this
Intelligence to their minds caused their leturn
to their own couutiy without visiting Jeima
lem again, leaving Herod to devise another
schema of moio extensive shughter, by which
he went into hlstoiy as the most eiuel and
heaitless of wen (Verses 1U-1S), This act of
tho Magi, under Divine institution, l.s a further
maik of their goodness.
