CHRISTMAS.
Doctor Schaff says "The j
Christmas festival is the cele- not
bration of the incarnation of jn
the Son of God. It is occupied, mo
therefore, with the event which
iorms the centre and turning ]
point of the History of the Ch
World. It is of all festivals the' we
one most thoroughly interwoven ed
with the popular and family An
life, and stands at the head of
the great feasts in the Western '
church year. It continues to on
be, in the entire Catholic world frc
and in the greater part of lea
Protestant Christendom, the Th
grand jubilee of children, on loo
which innumerable gifts celebrate
the infinite love of God ]
in the gift of His only-begotten foi
Son. It kindles in mid-winter op]
a holy fire of love and grati- mt
tude, and preaches in the long Sa
est night the rising of the sun iss
of life and the glory of the ne:
Lord. It denotes the advent of
the true golden age, of the free- <
dom and equality of all the re- in^
deemed before God and in God. rip
No one can measure the joy tin
and blessing which from year in
to year flow forth upon all ages en
of life from the contemplation an
of the holy child Jesus in his be
heavenly innocence and divine in
humanity." CI
The feast of Christmas is >'a
first spoken of in Rome in the
year 360 but in such a way as
to imply that the festival was ca
a familiar one. And Chrysas fri
torn who preached the Christ- to
mas sermon in Antiocn on ue m<
cember 25th, 380, calls it the th
fundamental feast from which rii
all other Christian festivals of
grow. as
The churches in earlier ages
celebrated the dea'h and resur- ku
rection of Christ, hut after th
awhile, at precisely what time s*r
is not known, they began to 11I
pay attention to his birth and Mu
as it was the Western church
that gave more attention to the /,
matter, they finally fixed on
December 25th as the day of
Christ's birth, although the V/A
true date is not known. The sm
Christmas festival was thus in S,H
all probability the transference Mu
by the Western church of sev- m,
era! Roman festivals that oc- :m
curred about December 25th. |Hr
On the 21st and 22nd of l)e- Mi
cember occurred the festival of Ur

things, gifts of beauty and r0t
luxury were distributed to m
children and kinsfolk, and the im
festival of Brumalia, signifying t.
the shortest day, when the sun ,j.
unconquered by the dark and m,
wintry season breaks the grow- m(
ing power of darkness and begins
again his life-giving career. m,

bursts upon the earth dispell- H
ing the darkness of sin, break- <:e
ingthe bands of wickedness and iif
in his light leading men back -t?
to peace, joy and life in God. <>i
It was a glad and joyous time
for men when the heavenly
host praised God and sang
"Glory to God in the highest, mi
and on earth peace, good will ro
toward men." hii
