LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 4 -
THE WISE MEN LED BY THE STAR
LESSON TEXT—Matt. 2. ;
MEMORY VERSES— 5
GOLDEN TEXT—‘Look unto me and
~be ye saved, all the ends of the earth;
-for I am God, and there is none else.”’—
Isa, 45:22.
So quietly had Jesus made His ap
, pearance into the world that His ar
rival was unknown in Jerusalem until
the Wise Men came from the East.
Perhaps 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 as the
morning star still rises without noise,
and as the seed shoots up and the
flower opens in silence, so was it
with the coming of Christ, the Rose of
Sharon, and the Bright and Morning
Star. No thunder awoke the hills of
Palestine; no trumpet peal went
through its city; no herald went be
fore Him; no royal salute greeted
Him. His mother and the chosen
few of the inner circle who had wit
nessed the wonderous birth, made no
proclamation of it,—they received all
in silent, happy faith, and pondered
these things in their¢hearts. |
Even so does Christ to-day make
His advent into many a heart. So
silently does He oftimes come that
one scarcely is able to tell the day
or the hour when Christ was born
in his life. The Kingdom of God
does not always come with observa:
tion.
The inquiry of the Wise Men sug
gests a deep interest in Christ. Herod
made no such inquiry save in jeal
ousy; Jerusalem was not particularly
interested in the subject; but a very
few in Israel cared anything about it.
How-like conditions today.
. The Wise Men confessed their ig
norance. The truly wise man is never
above asking questions. Pride keeps
many people from Christ. Because,
falsely, we say, “we see,” our blind
ness remains with us. If we would
find the Saviour, if we would know
the forgiveness of sin, let us admit
our ignorance and our need of a
guide; let us cry to God to help us.
It is better to ask God to lead us
than to trust in our own reason. - We
seldom wander when on our knees. |
The Wise Men had a motive for
" their search—they came to worship
Him. :And that is just the reason
why they found Him. Herod could
not find Him, nor could the chief
priests and scribes—for the simple
reason that' they did not want to
worship Him. No seeker will fl.nd‘
Christ-unless the motive of his seek
ing be that he may be saved by Him,
and from’ henceforth live for and
serve -Him. ‘A seeking sinner and a
geeking Saviour will not be long be
fore they meet, and the meeting will
be a blessed one. Have you found
Christ? If sot, 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 their
place by Christ’s side. - So will it al
ways be with those who are really
seeking Christ. There is a light that
others perchance may not see, a hand
that others may not perceive, a voice
that others may not hear—all of these
are visible and audible to those who
by faith are seeking Christ. The
Church, the Bible, the Preaching of
the Gospel, exemplary Christian lives,
inward impulses—these may be stars
that light the way to Him.
- The Wise Men did not consider it
enough that they had seen the star.
They continued their journey until
they saw the Christ. Is there not
danger of our seeing the Church, the
Bible, the sacraments, and yet miss
ing Him! It would have been too
bad for them to have come as far as
Jerusalem and then to have given up
without seeing Him, just as it would
be too bad for us to have used all
these spiritual aids, and yet not have
found the Saviour.’
As soon as these earnest seekers
found Christ, they worshipped Him.
What .a glorious vision they had as
they looked upon the Christ Child!
They saw that which alone is worth
seeing; that which fills and gladdens
the soul- when seen and known; that
which righteous men of old desired to
gee, but saw only in glimpses and
at intervals; that for the seeing of
which Moses prayed so earnestly; that
to which the eye of every -creature
~ghould turn in longing anticipation:
that which everything in heaven and
fn earth is intended to reveal; that for
the beholding of which our eyes were
made, and for the appreciation of
-wwhich our minds were formed—Jesus
~Christ, the Son of God, ard the Sav
four of the world. To see anything

RETIRED GEORGIA PLANTER'S
Regarding the wonderful curative
merits of your Swamp-Root, I cannot
| say too much, “After suffering severe
1y for three years or. more with se
vere pains .caused by weak kidneys, 1

| through -a testifnonial I read in one of
the newspapers,-1 was in such a con-.
dition that I was obliged to arise from
_my bed six or eight times every night.
I purchédsed a. fifty-cent bottle arnd be
fore it was used I felt so much reliet
that I" purchased a one-dollar bottle
and-by the time this was taken the old
pains had left my back and I could
gleep the whole night through. I am
a retired planter, 70 years of age, and
owing to Dr, Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, 1
am in the best of health and fee!l like

BABY’S HAIR ALL CAME OUT
“When my first baby was six months
old"he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
& scale. Then it would break out
again and it spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
it kept spreading until it was on his
hands and arms. I bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
_him, but he got worse all the time.
He bhad it about six months when a
friend told me about Cuticura. I sent
and got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three -days
after using them he began to im
prove. He began to take long naps
and to stop scratching his head. After
.taking two bottles of Resolvent, two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes of
Soap he was sound and well, and never
had any breaking out of ary kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. (I don’t think anything else
iwould have cured him except Cuti
cura,
~ *“I have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap several times since
to use for cuts and sores and have,
never known them to fail to cure what
I put them on. Cuticura Soap is the

purposes.” (Signed) Mrs. F. E. Har

10, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap and
Ointment are sold everywhere, a sam

This was the first case for the ma
jority of the jury, and they sat for
hours arguing and disputing over it.in
the bare little room at the rear of the
court room. At last they straggled
back to their places, and the foreman, ‘
a lean, gaunt fellow, with a superla
‘tively solemn expression, voiced the
general opinion:

The New 12-story Baltimore Bargain House Building, Baltimore, Md.
The Baltimore Bargain House has
Just completed a 12-story building,
which covers one-third of an im
mense city block, with an estimated
floor space of 240,000 square feet.
The site is the corner of Baltimore
and Liberty Streets and running
back to Garrett Street,
This building, added to the adjoin
ing buildings which the B. B, H.
Salesrooms now occupy, extends over
almost .86 per cent. of the entire
block. -
All combined the B. B. H. build
ings cover almost three large city
blocks. This includes the building
mentioned above and their big Kay
ette Street building, their Clothing
Factory, their ‘Warehouse at Scott,
Stockholm and Wicomico Streets
(which in itself takes up an entire
block), angd other buildings about the
city of Baltimore.
In 1911 the Sales of the B. B. H.
amounted to $13,345,789.55. This:
statement was sworn to before a No
tary beafore being published.
This makes them the Fourth Larg
est Wholesale House in any one city
doing business throughout the United
States.
Taking into consideration that
they have No Traveling Salesmen,
they sell MORE Goods than any
other Wholesale House in America,
in any one city, without the aid of
Drummers: %

MRS. M. SUMMERS, BOX 17 - - . NOTRE DAME, IND., U.S. A.
As before stated, the main busi
ness of the B. B. H. is located at the
corner .of Baltimore and Liberty
Streets, running through to Kayette
Street, which is considered the best
location -in Baltimore.
The special feature of their New
Building is the improved mechanical
devices for handling their immense
volume of business, which they
claim will reduce their expense of
handling the business materially in
comparison to what it costs their
competitors today to handle their
business with laborers.
They attribute the biggest part of
their success in business to the Jfact
that they have always handled their
business more economically than any
Other House and thereby they have
been enabled to live up to their fa
mous motto, “MORE GOODS FOR
SAME MONEY—SAME GOODS FOR
LESS MONEY.”
The architecture of the building
and the magnificence of its interior
finish make it one of the handsomest
Wholesale Houses in America.
We congratulate Baltimore and the
Baltimore Bargain House upon its
wonderful achievement. We * look
upon Baltimore as the chief South
ern City and we are proud of her
and anything she does in the way ot*
expansion in the line of business.
