What a flood of tender memories the name recalls! What a retrospective vista it opens to the view! It recalls the One who was the personification of human ity; who was mofcked, reviled, be traved, spat upon and cruoified, and who was at the same time -King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The scroll of time is rolled back, the pages of history are unfolded, and the results of the work upon earth of our Lord and Saviour are revealed. Jesus came to Hia own, but His own knew Him not. He was born of humble earthly parentge, in stable, with a manger for a cradle. The shepherds who bad had hand ed down to them the tradition of the star of Bethlehem, and who, warned of its approach by an angel, watched for its rising and followed it to the caravansary over which it , T Remained stationary, were I the only onea to recognize and welcome the advent of their Savior at the time of its occurence. . Others there were, the wise men of the east, who had watched for the star, and following it, reached Judea later and inquired of King Herod as to the whereabouts of He who was born king of the Jews. .Upon jnquiry from the chief priests and scribes Herod learned of the ancient prophecies con cerning the birth of the long heralded .king, and fearing for .the safety of his throne, imagin ing that the reign of this king was to be a temporal, instead of a spiritual one, he sought to en comass His death; and with this end in view cunningly besought the wise men to informhim when they had succeeded in locating the object of their search, so that he, too, might worship Him; but being warned of God as to Herods evil intent, after finding and worshiping their Savior, they returned to their own country by another route. Disquieting reports continuing to reach Herod, and he being un able to locate the innocent object of his hatred, he determined to wade through seas of blood rather than relinquish his murderous determination. - He therefore ordered - an indiscriminate - slaughter of. all male children under two years of " Bethlehem. age,-- throughout all ThisrtoorfailedrbecauseTtheXbrd had forwarned Joseph of Herods intent and instructed him to take the young child and his mother, and flee into EgyptVThis he did, and returned not until after the death of Herod.

The earlier years of the Saviors life, aside from the first deadly peril of Herods hatred, were com- -' paratively uneventful. .
