Origin of Present Use of the Classic Plant. fl The druids at Yuletide used to cut 11 the mistletoe to place upon their altars '' with elaborate ceremonies. Their name " for it was all heal or all healing. ^ There was a large procession, headed " by the druidlcul priests, with bards ' ^ ^ alnging canticles aud hymns; then a " heruld preceded three drulds, furnished with implements for severing the sacred plant, then the prince or ^ chief of the druids, accompanied by all his followers. The chief mounted the oak and with a golden knife detached the mistletoe and nrpHoniiHi i? t? tim in-iooi ?i." ? f celved ami bore away the branches ^ with great reverence. Two white bulls were sacrificed during the rite. \ On the first day of the new year the branches nfter resting on the altars In v the Interval were distributed among L the people as a sacred and holy plant. * the druid priest crying, "The mistletoe for the New Year." Just when the ' mistletoe became known as the "kiss- ^ ing bush" Is not known. ^ d-H- -1-1- 1-H-H -1 I I I -1 I H-H -I-l-M !

Christmas is a ( relit,'lolls festival. In the Christian. , with a sincere belief in the Christ, who * i it ^ Is the foundation rock of his religion. ^ ^ the words of priest and pastor, exhort ( lug his liock to observe the day with , ceremonial observances, find a fervent > n response. ! roin every pulpit is told * anew each year the story of him with r out whom Christmas had never beeu. But Christmas appeals also to the ( nonbellever in Christ, to the men and t. women who cannot subscribe consci ^ entlously to the doctrine of his dlvln 1 Ity It is trite, perhaps, to sa.v that as Christmas approaches tlie Christmas . spirit is "in the air." but it is true * none the less. "Peace and good will" . pervade tlte air that is breathed alike p by churchgoer and nona\tendant. In the big cities Christmas is celebrated hv Christian and Jew and Mohammedan as \vell as by those with no ? religion. In the outermost corners of t the earth, wherever men of Christian folth have borne the standard of civilization. the native heathen In Intimate ^ contact witii them feel the coming of the spirit and rejoice. A It Is well that this should be so. for the spirit of Christmas is tlie spirit of belief not only in Christ, but in one's \ fellow tnen. Every one may share in it if he will. Every one may find in .?* the story of the life that was lived in ^ ** Palestine n'neteen centuries ago, of the death that *vas met on the cross and \ of the resurrection that followed, something of personal application, some- A thing of uplift ??......
