The nursery department remains open during the morning hour lor The story of the coming of the Wise Men to seek the One who had been “born King of the Jews’’ re veals several altitudes toward Christ which find their counterpart in our day. I. Expectancy (vv. 1, 2). These men of another race were familiar with the Jewuh Scriptures and knew that the Messiah was to come. Many others, including the religious leaders of the Jews, had the same information. But these men of the East differed in that they looked' for His coming with' keen desire and expectancy. * One wonders if we have not be come so familiar with the story of Christmas that we, like the Jews, have a dead knowledge without ex pectant faith. We need tnawi and look to Ood for new grace and strength for these days. II. Fear (vv. 3, 7, 8, 12). Herod was a capable, ruthless, un- gqjlly ruler who feared only that someone would take his power from him,- He was so determineiL that this should not happen, that he killed many members of his own family for whom he otherwise had apparent affection. When he heard* that Jesus, who was the real King of the Jews, had been born, he feared, and laid crafty meets first Tuesday of each Month. I plans to destroy Him.

They love their selfish ways, and their sinful pleasures; and when they face the question of what they will do with Jesus (and face it they must!), they have only fear and hatred in their hearts. > HI, Indifference (w. 4-6). When the Wise Men came to Je rusalem to inquire where the Christ was to be bom, they received an immediate answer—in Bethlehem. That was clearly foretold in Micah 5:2. The priests and scribes knew all about it, but their knowledge did not move them to action. They told the Magi where to go, but they did not go themselves. How sad it is to see the indiffer ence of our day to the claims of Christ. Tliere are many who Ujink that simply because they do not hate the church, or the Bible, or do hot fight against it, they are guilt less. pow wrong they are will ap pear to them if they will read Mat thew 11:23, 24 and recall that the sin of Capeimaum was only indif- ferenck. your indifference to love and faith, lest you too be eternally 1(»L rv, Joy (w. 9, 10). These earnest seekers for the Christ-child were fuU of joy even before they saw Him. "M^en they saw the star,’’* and knew that God was indeed le^ad^ them, their hearts leaped within them as "they rejoiced with exceeding great joy." CHirist^s is the time when there should be real joy In our Iwarts. is not enough to be "merry" or "happy." In fact, many thousands ' could not possibly find anything to be happy about this year.
