'" Lesson Outlines, copyrighted by the International Council of Religiom Education, USA, WISE MEN SEEK JESUS Memory Selection: "And when they had atened their , treasures, then irresented unto him gifts; gohl, frankincense and myrrh." Matthew 2:11. Lesson Text: Matthew 2:1-12. In Matthew's gospel, we have the story of the visit of the three wise Men, who were .the first Ontiles to visit Jesus. Their searah for and their worship of the Christ, therefore, may have been prophetic of the time the Gentile world would accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. As pointed out before, the pur pose and aim of Matthew's Gos pel was largely to convince the Jews that Jesus fulfilled the Mes sianic hope and prophecy. There fore, all through his Gospel, Mat thew links Jesus with the earlier prophecies. Jesus was born in the year 5 B.C. four years and one week before 1 A.D. an error made by IKonysnus in the calculation of time caused the beginning of the Christian era to be counted wrong. Pompey had captured Jerusalem in 63 B.C. and Pales tine was under the Romans at the time of the birth of Jesus. Augustus Caesar was Emperor of Koine. The gospel references to the time is "in the days of Herod the King," referring to Herod the G reat. Matthew tells us that, "Beh .1(1, there came wise men from the Kast U Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to woi ship him." Tradition numbers these "wise men," probably as trologers and philosophers of then day, as being three, some adding that they were from India, Per sia and Arabia, respectively. Having seen a strange star, in ' With Our Boys In S c r vice Fort Knox, Ky. (AHTNcF Pvt. D. E. Griffdn, 23,son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Griffin, Route 2, Marshall, recently was gradu ated from the automotive main tenance helpers course at the' Ar my s Armor Training (jenter, at Port Knox, Ky.

Griffin entered the Army last August and completed basic train ing at the fort.

'-', " " minds, there flashed a thought: The Jewish exiles in Babylon had j said that a King would be born among them who would once more restore the glory of Israel. And this particular' star was in the direction of Jerusalem, the home land of the Jews! In 1604, the great astronomer Kepler saw the planets Jupiter and aturn in conjunction and, shortly afterward, a bright star burst forth in -ne constellation of the Serpent. Calculations show that, just before the birth of Je sus, these same two planets were in conjunction. After traveling for miles across the desert, the Wise Men arrived in Jerusalem. They must have been surprised to find the city (Ujet unexcited by the event proclaimed by the star. After making inquiry around the city, they explained their presence. Word of their visit apd their search for the new "king" reach ed Herod, who, when he "heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him." So he called all the leaders of the Jew the chief priests and scribes to him and asked what they knew of this Christ, who should be born. They told him that the prophecies had declared' that the Messiah wouia ne w hem of Judea, and then they quoted the prophecy of Micah Micah 5:12). They knew the text, but they did not recognize the fulfillment of it The so-called better half of the Apparently.

It was just a misun derstanding, all the way around. 1 thought you said you would write this column last week You thought I said if you were too busy resting, that probably our fairy godmother would write it. WeH, as it turns out you were too busy resting, and our fairy god mother was otherwise occupied. What about me? Oh, 1 was run ning around like a ohiicken with .my head cut off trying to get ready for Christmas. You say I looked like 1 was enjoying my self. Well, I was. I love to put everything off until the last min ute, then hustle and bustle, and get all excited. We might stop here and explain that it is our custom to write this column on Monday, and give it to Mr. Pop before we start out on the route for the week. And as you know, last Monday was not just any or dinary Monday, it was Christmas Eve! This is another Monday, and there is something different about it, too. It's the very last day of 1956. By the time you read this 1957 will be three or four days old. But we think it will be all right to wish our friends a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR! Even if we are a few days late. The end of the year is a time for looking back ; and a time for looking forward. We just took a look at our registration book.
