"We have seen His star in the
East
. And are come to worship
Him."
Across the long expanse of
the ages the beautiful story has
come to us. In that ancient sky
there had shone a star so un
usual that a great event seemed
surely at hand.
Since the short biblical ac
count of the star gives no de
scription of its appearance, we
can only surmise. It is men
tioned briefly in one gospel
only. The present ideas are evi-

dently greatly Influenced by the
artists of later times.
Some, who make much of the
ancient tendency to stress the
supernatural, say there riever
was such .a star, and that the
story is simply a "pious fraud.
Others feel that it is even Ir
religious to seek a reasonable
explanation. "
Between these extreme views
is a belief that the significance
of the occasion was not lessened
by the employment of a natural
phenomenon to herald it. God
works through natural laws,
and an event may seem super
natural simply because the laws
are not fully known. Henry
Drummond considered even the
laws of the spiritual world as
natural laws.
Many explanations have been
suggested for the star. It Is
known that Halley's comet made
a spectacular appearance at
about that time. . The most gen
erally accepted theory Is that
it was a nova (new star) such
a have several times in the
past blazed out where none had
been known before. Nova Her
culis was quite bright for a few
weeks around Christmas time in
1934.
In 1610 A..D. the astronomer
Kepler observed Saturn, Mars,
and Jupiter so closely grouped
as to form a very striking spec
tacle. He calculated that prac
tically the same configuration
had occurred in 799 A. D. and '
8 B. C. Dr. Henry Van Dyke
weaves this idea beautifully In
to his story, "The Other Wise
Man."
Since the Installation of many

world, this grouping of 6 B. C.

means. The Intricate projector,
