Abstract
IN regard to the so-called “star of Bethlehem,” Prof. C. A. Grimmer, in “Life from the Dead,” No. 69 (August 1879), p. 267, wrote:—“It will be seen in ‘Cassiopeia's Chair’, and will be accompanied by a total eclipse of the sun and moon. The marvellous brilliancy of the ‘star of Bethlehem’ in 1887 will surpass any of its previous visitations. It will be seen even at noonday, shining with a quick flashing light the entire year, after which it will gradually decrease in brightness, and finally disappear.”
