So quietly had Jesus made Ills np pcaranco Into the world thnt His nr rival wns unknown In .Terusulcm until the Vzc Men enmo from tho East. Pcrhnps the shepherds had not told their tale of the heavenly vision, or perhaps they had told it, but It had been unheeded or ridiculed. So ns tho morning stnr still rises without noise, nnd nn the seed shoots up nnd tho flower opens In silence, so wns It with tho comlriR of Christ, the Rose of Sharon, nnd the Rrlght and Morning Star. No thunder awoko the hills of Palestine; no trumpet peal went through lta city; no herald went be fore lllm; no royal salute greeted Him. Ills mother and the chosen few of tho Inner circle who had wit nessed tho wonilerous birth, made no proclamation of It, they received all lir silent, hnppy faith, nnd pondered these things In their hearts. Even so does Christ today make IJIs advent Into many a heart. So silently does He oftlnres come that ono scarcely Is ah!o to tell the day or the hour when Christ was born In his life. Tho Kingdom of fiod docs not always como with observa tion. Tho Inquiry of the Wire Men sug gests n deep Interest In Christ. Herod read" no such inquiry save In Jeal ousy Jerusalem was not particularly interested In the subject; but a very lev: In Israel cared anything about it. How like conditions today. Tho Wlvo Mf-n confessed their Ig norance. Tho truly who man Is never above asking questions. Pride keeps many people from Christ, llecause. falscl". we say. "we see." our blind ness remains with us. If wo would find tho Saviour, if wo would know the forgiveness of ?l:r. let us admit our Ignorance and our need of a guide; let us cry to Ood to help us. It Is better to ask fiod to lead us than to trust in our own reason. Wo seldom wander when on our knees. Tho Wise Men had a motive for their search they camo to worship Him. And that ia Just tho reason why they found Him. Herod could not find Him, nor could the chief priests nnd scribes for tho slmido reason that they did not want to worship Him. No seeker will find Christ unless the motive of his seek ing bo that ho may bo saved by Hlnr. and from henceforth live for and serve Him. A seeking sinner and a seeking Snviour will not be long be fore they meet, nnd the meeting wll! bo a blessed one. Have you found Christ? If not, why not? The Wise Men received encourage ment In their search for Christ. They saw His star, which led them through the long desert until they found tholr plnco by Christ's side. So will It al ways bo with those who are really reeklntj Christ. There is a light that others perchance may not see, a hand that others may not perceive, a volco that others may not hear nil of theso ard visible nnd audible to those who by faith nro peeking; Christ. Tho Church, tho niblo, tho Trenching of tho Gospel, exemplary Christian Uvea, lnwnrdi Impulses theso may bo stars that light tho way to Him. Tho Wise Men did not consider It enough that they hnd seen tho star. They continued their Journey until they saw tho Christ. Is there not danger of our seeing tho Church, tho Rible, the sacraments, nnd yet miss ing Him! It would have been too bad for them to hnvo como as far as Jerusalem nnd then to have given up without seeing Him, Just ns It would bo too bad for us to havo used all theso spiritual nlds, nnd yet not havo found tho Saviour. As soon ns theso earnest Beckers found Christ, they worshipped Him. What a glorious vision they hnd ns they looked upon tho Christ Child! Tlrey buw that which alono is worth ecoing; thnt which fills nnd glnddens tho soul when seen nnd known: thnt which righteous men of old desired to eco, but saw only In glimjwes nnd at intervals; that for tho seeing of which Moses prayed so earnestly; that to which tho eyo or every creature should turn In longtng nntlcijiation; that which everything In heaven nnd in enrth Is Intended to rcvcnl; that for tho beholding of which our eyes wero mado, nnd for tho nppreclntion of which our minds wero formed Jesus Christ, tho Son of God, nnd the Sav iour of the world. To see anything Ices In tho Christ child Is to miss tho heart of tho vision. They worshipped Him. They could not help It; nor can nny man when once he has seen tho glory of God in tho faco of Jesus Christ. It was said of GIndstono that when ono wns ushered Into his presence ho wns con strained to bow his hend or ralso his hat. So thoFo who behold Christ must worship Him. Who can behold the sun without being dazzled? Who can behold deity without worshljiplntJ Him? Theso men wero men of mighty faith they could look beyond a mn gcr nnd neo a throne; beyond a utable and see a mighty Gcd, s 'tyKJMtmo'Ji&j L"CAGr You'll bo de lighted with the re sults of Calumet I5a!:ing Towdur.
