     - a T IS RELATED in an old tale that out of the East came three men to 
     
     pay splendid homage to the Savior. Some say these were three of 
     
     L the Magi, but another legend says these were three mighty kings. 
     
    

    
     The first of the three kings was Melchior, King of Nubia, whose gilt was gold; the 
     
     second, Balthazar, King of Chaldea, who offered incense; and the third was lasper, 
     
     ‘King of Tarshish, a man of giant stature and 'a black Ethiope’ whose gift was myrrh. 
     
    

    
     For the gift of gold was in testimony of His royalty as King of the lews; the incense 
     
     was a token of his divinity; but the offering of myrrh alluded to the sorrows which 
     
     in the humiliating condition of a man the Redeemer vouchsafed to take upon Him. 
     
    

    
     The legend says these three kings rode before a gaily-caparisoned train of 
     
     mules, camels and horses loaded with rich treasure, and guarded by a mighty 
     
     rvetinue of warders, glittering with gold and gems, and armed with bright weapons 
     
     of Damascus steel. 
     
    

    
     For they had heard that He was born who was to be Savior of the World and 
     
     the King of Kings. And each of these three Kings left his throne that he might 
     
     hasten to the tiny town of Bethlehem in ludea, there to lay gifts at His feet and 
     
     worship. To them was given a bright star to guide them, and when they came to 
     
    
   
   
    
     Bethlehem they sought out the place where He lay and knelt before Him. 
     
    
   
   
    
     And while the time-colored manuscripts are strangely silent on the point, theirs 
     
    
   
   
    
     must have been an exaltation of spirit and a curious feeling of reverence as these 
     
    
   
   
    
     grim rulers of many bowed their stiff necks in homage before the humble Child. 
     
     a a: a m m w 
     
    
   
   
    
     Then when their mission wasended back to Tarshish and Chaldea and Nubia 
     
     went the three, and each again ascended his throne there to meditate on what he 
     
     had witnessed. For they had been privileged to see a wonder that vaas to encircle 
     
     the world, bringing to troubled mankind a new hope, and a spirit of charity and 
     
     humility and fair dealing. 
     
    

    
     And perhaps they glimpsed dimly that we today would still follow the custom 
     
     they established and that we would bear each other gifts in commemoration of 
     
     their pilgrimage long ago. And that in so doing we would reawaken and rekindle 
     
     within ourselves the loyalty they paid the Child at Bethlehem. 
     
    
   
   
    
     IIIIIIIG 
     
    
   
   
    
     Now the origins of this story are lost in the mists of time, and we shat‘. r‘ 
     
     lcnow whether the three who came out of the East were the Magi or the three 
     
     Kings. But today in Cologne Cathedral occasionally the heavy doors of a chapel 
     
     are opened, the lamps are lighted illuminating a dazzling wealth of gilded and 
     
     jeweled sculpture and a magnificent reliquary enriched with gems and enamels 
     
    
   
   
    
     where sleep the three Kings, whom many believe once looked upon the Savior.
