Traditional < Vorigen by Salutations of Merry Christmas will soon be heard on every hand, and the greeting itself, compared to the customary good morning, bears with it the spirit of the well wisher. Pew, however, stop to think of the time when Christmas did not exist, or of the history and development of the festive day which is now so nec essary to complete our year. Whence came Christmas, or whence came those customs which so distinctly mark its celebration every year? "Merrie" is an English word, and its meaning "pleasant," thus lt happened that among its other uses it formed the compound Christmas salutation. Its use here is very exclusive, birthday celebra tions are every day affairs, but there can be but one Lord's birthday," but one Merry Christmas. Tradition thus gives the origin of Merry Christina to England. How ever, no one country should feel jeal ous, for they all have helped to make Christmas what it is. Definitely speaking, Christmas is the day on which the nativity of the Bavior ls observed. While the origin Of its first celebration ls.unknown, ii la a fact that December 25 was not generally observed as the specific day previous to the fourth century. It was observed, but lhere was no uni formity in thc time of its observance among the churches. By some it was observed as early In the year as Jan uary, by others in May or April. If one is to judge by the seasons aa 0 gp?. 'S??. 0 fe 0 ssa C li all thc light t? Eve or Chri too, even tho is the day o the candles! been chosen they may ha love.

Ill ( will come, spirit of Wi wild beast lose heart, high and ! because w mountain s .tossed the a cheerful cities, and bebw you wide worI( we can Itv treacherous candles, frk as they now come and go, December 25 could not reasonably have been the birth time of Christ, as It is then the rainy season there. Christmas was the parent of many later festivals, especially from the fifth to the eighth century, and com ing so close together they made up what might be termed a Christmas cycle. These days surpassed all other groups of Christmas holidays in richness and festal usages, and this group as a whole had much to do with the complete and orderly dis tribution of the church festivals of tho whole year. The cause that led to the choice of December 25. as the day to be observed was not the result of Impulsive or casual appointment. It appears that the heathen people of the earlier centuries regarded the winter solstice as the most important time of the whole year. Then nature took on new signs of life, and the gods personified the seasons; espec ially was this true in the more northerly x countries of Europe, and there ls was that the Celts and Qer Santa Claus In his toy shop ls all ready for the good little girls and boys. twos md Authentic W- L-Fulton mans from the oldest time celebrated this season with great festivities. The beginning of the winter solstice was marked by the Yule feast; and here began the use of the term "Yule tide." Many of these customs, beliefs and usages passed over from heathenism io Christianity, and some have sur vived unto this day. There was such a clear cut distinction between heath enism and Christianity that a clash had to follow. Christianity strove to abolish the bondage <of existing heathenisms, and substitute the pres ent grandly deserved. liberty Of the Christian churlh. Out of "the tra ditional observance of Christmas came the carols, and the Christmas dramas, and 'later came the Christ trees, or now known as Christmas trees. With the tree came the candles and gifts. Gradually caine those dishes') so distinctive to Christmas, and Chrietmas itself became a joyous so cial function for old and young, and Merry Christmas meant a pleasant wish to all who werg to participate in its observance. As the festive time draws near, a tev? thoughts of bur modern Christmas may naturally have first place. The more knowl edge one has, the more intense are the experiences in life, thus at one time we may be ver-y happy, at an other we may suffer intense sorrow.

We know that o i at peace is only a glimpse of a re< e in the daily joy of it we must ma ; places here where we are camping ;nds, and keep them burning until it is which are characteristic of the Ger man celebration may add to our own pleasant experiences of the day. The word "holiday" has a different sig nificance . when used in relation to the holidays observed at the close of our calendar year from that used to convey the same meaning in Ger many. There you experience the full meaning of the term, celebrations lasting for days, while here in Ameri ca holiday celebrations are limited to one day. Life in cities the world over is much the same, yet there ls some thing in the German character .hat resists much of the InSuence of, mod ern progression ao naturally ?they cling to their national life and'ehar acterlstlcs making it possible,.even in the largest cities, to observe their never changing customs on holiday occasions, and especially so in the German celebration of Christmas. Anticipation and realization are fully as essential factors of Christ mas happiness in Germany as In America. In comparison, we are in clined to believe that realization counts for more in America than in Germany. In contrast with the fam ily celebration of other countries, in Germany, Christmas is a time of pro found sacredness, and the nation as a whole enters into the festive cele bration. The distinguishing feature of the German Christmas is the religious ceremony, which is slightly varied in its observances in the different pro vinces. In many places, the whole family go to early church service on Christmas eve, sometimes as early as five or six o'clock. In some places each one takes a candle in baud, and these candles, when placed on the backs of the pews,- sometimes afford the main illumination of the church. So attentive to (he sacred meaning of the day are the Germans, that in many places when the clock in the steeple strikes twelve on Christmas night, every house and church ls quickly lighted up, and It ls difficult to find a dark window in to\yh. In Oberammergau there is a more distinctly religious tone given to the whole holiday. The Christ child Is the guardian angel of the time. It is He, they say, who brings the Christmas tree. He comes down from Heaven on Christmas eve holding it in His hands. He is attended by four angels, tw.o preceding Him and two following. The angels bear the pres ents. The Christ child places the tree on the table, rlngsv ?- bell and flees. They believe that He brings va present to the children that have been obedient and kind. While the Christmas tree Is truly an essential factor in the'celebration of Christmas, the gifts iire not al ways hung thereon. At Hanover, we are told that when the eand??s on the tree are burning very .low, a mys terious rap is heard at tho door, then the door Is pushed open and a bun dle is thrown into the room, contain ing a present for every meniber of the famfly. The remarkable good be havior among the children for many days preceding Christmas had its sig nificance. Jt was easily, accounted for when told that St, Nicholas, to the children of Germany, is an angel In disguise. He goes about from house to house in ragged clothes with a bag upon his back, lie knocks at the door and asks, "Are the chil dren good?" If the answer is "Yes," he leaves toys, fruits and bon bons; If answered otherwise, he leaves a stick. So there is a sweet difference in the celebration of Christmas When compared to that of the American, although one cannot help but love the spirit in the German celebration. Aside from the religious.ceremony, there are minor distinctions which are at once noticeable to an Ameri can. In the home, the little German children know nothing about Santa Claus or his sleigh and reindeer. mm )T2m ii ?S. Light them, you and >yous flame. Big candles t each be blazing !
