Tbe reason for the confident as sertion is tbe ascertaining of tbe fact that Herod died about four years B. C. Tbe basis of this supposition is tbe report that at the time of the birtb of Christ "tbere were shepherds abiding in tbe field, Watching tbeir flocks by night" a circumstance not natural in tbe latitude of Bethlehem near the shortest day. Tbat is tbe height of tbe rainy sen son In Judea, and tin? date does not appear to hare been ob served generally before the fifth cen- Many students of. Biblical history "Sty*, argued tbat the-atory about the star of Bethlehem points to a data for tbe Nativity not later than May 8, p. C. S.

That was about fifty days less than two years before the death of Herod, a fact which hartnouizes well wltb other conditions of the narrative, for It Is probable that the mandate for the slaughter of all the children two years old and under was Issued some months before his decease, and the limit of two years would leave an ample margin for any uncertainty aa to the time of the appearauce of the (tar, as related by the magi; also there were no paschal fall moons on a Fri day between the years B. O. 0 and A. D. 83 and no other following that till A. O. 00. From this It would seem to follow that Christ was tbirty-elgbt years old | at the time of the crucifixion, and this I would vindicate the sagacity of tbe Jewish doctors wbo affirmed that be was not yet flfty (forty?) yean old. It li remarked, too, that In the spring of the same year there was a triple con junction of planets-Hatum. Jupiter and Mara— and that the first two ■anted were In conjunction aa seen from the earth no less than three time* la the ysar preceding—thst Is. B. 0. 7. Another theory about the star of Bethlehem whlcb has been advanced Is that tbe star seen by the magi is Bplcs, the leading brilliant In tbe con stellation of Virgo, tbe Virgin. For many years before and after tbe Christian era tbe star was changing Its place until It was then literally • "star In tbe east." and Its movement la that direction may have been the very fact noticed by tbe wlae men of some centuries preceding wbo expect ed that tbe prophecy about tbe Virgin would be fulfilled when Its principal •tar reached tbe position noted. If this were so tbe visit of tbe magi from Baetrtn, In tbe far east. Is easily ex plained. and tbe chief difficulty attend ing tbe explanation Ilea In the fact that such sn Important search aa they udertook Is noticed by only one out oi the four evangelists. Tbe uncertainty of tbe centorlss In regard to tbe date at tbe Nativity In year and month may never be cleared op.
