Campus Mirror Published During the Collece Year by the Students of Spelman College, Atlanta, Georgia VOL. XV DECEMBER 15, 1938 No. 3 They Found Him Anatol Reeves ’39 Many, many years ago in a far-off land named Palestine, there was a prophecy that soon a King would be born who would he greater than any King that ever lived. This prophecy must have spread to many countries, for soon after the birth of the King, there came from the East in search of this King a caravan in which rode three kings who wore embroidered turbans, long richly-woven robes, and whose camels' trappings sparkled with inset stones. One king carried a golden crown in his saddle bag, another had precious jewels, while a third had much gold. Behind them rode their servants who spread to any people they encoun tered the tale that their masters were in search of a great King. Night after night the three kings trav eled on. guided in their march by a great star which shone more brightly than any other in the heavens and beckoned them on. Finally they came to Palestine. They continued their way until they arrived in Bethlehem of Judea which was a part of Palestine. The bright star stood still above a poor-looking building which the men entered. They found themselves in a stable where cows and donkeys were eating hay contentedly. The three kings marched with dignity to the farther end of the stable. They came before a stall where a gen tle rosy cheeked baby lay in a manger. On one side of the manger sat his mother, and on the other side sat his father. The moonbeams shining through a chink in the wall revealed the pale purity of the young woman’s face and her blue dress of crude material. Before this little group the leaders of the caravan knelt, and the eldest of the three said quietly: “We have come to offer our gifts to the King who was born tonight.” Besides being kings, these men were wise because they knew that some day this little baby would be a greater King than they could ever hope to be. There fore they had come from afar because they had heard the matter rehearsed in a vision. As the Wise Men finished laying down their treasures, the stable filled w ith light and two angels appeared, clad in dazzling white. They stationed them selves one at the head and the other at the foot of the sleeping baby. Their pres ence seemed, as it were, a silent confirma tion that this humble child was worthy of the highest honor. The Wise Men had accomplished their mission; therefore they departed for their own country once more.
