V-NO.~238. ^^/^^'--'"^^ - nw iviiu m- w 11 . mmury. . Christmas Doy is regarded throughout the Christian world aa the important day o?. tho year, and whether the birth of Christ ooonrred on the twenty-fifth day Of December, or a few days earlier or later, ia a matter of no great moment. The significance of Betting apart a day, consists ia tho fact that all Christians by general consent accept a speoified time for th? celebration of this event. The first celebration of Christmas, of which . mention is made in history, was that of S?moJt?t?rle of Christians who assembled at Nicodemus some time daring the reigu of tho Emperor Diocletian, (281-305), while nial ruler was holding his court thara, On hearing of the fact that these people had pesembl?d to celebrate the birth-day of the Saviour, he ordered the church' doora to be closed ?iud the build? ing to.be,burned. AU the worshippers perished io tho flam os. According to Bomo authorities this happened either in April or May, for in tho early days of the Christian Ora there was no uniformi? ty in tho period of observing the Nativi? ty, the day being Oelebrated by different communities in different months. It Was not until tho fourth century that tho 25th of December was appointed as tho day to bo observed ; and it is. held by many Biblical antiquaries that the birth of tho Saviour could not have occurred on that day, for in Judea it falls iu tho Very worst part of the rainy season, when shepherds oould hardly be watching their'flocks by night in the plains. The first certain traces of the festival of Christmas uro found about the time of the Emperor Commodius (180 102.) The first Christmas passed by the Norman oonqqerors in Britain witnessed tho coro? nation of King William in Westminster Abbey, The English people had not yet reaavered from the stunning effects ol tho battle of Hastings and tho overthrow of Harold, their King ; and when they wore ordered to'attend tho coronation their obedience was mechanical, and thoj did, not realizo the full significance am importance of the ceremony. All arounc tho Abbey armed men were stationed tc guard against any violent expression o na?onfl ill-will that might burst forth, and within the building was thronged witl the new King's friends and supporters At ; tho appointed hour the Bishop o Constance askod the Normans whethei they would have William for their King ana ; tho Arch bishop of York went through the iona of patting tho sam? question to the English, of whom thor? were a few present. Tho answer was i shout so loud that the sound was hean outside the Abbey, aud tho soldiers feigning to believe that the tumult wu caused by au ut ta ck on the Norman within tho church, forthwith set upoi the unoffending people of Weatmiustcr ?lew many of them, and plundered nu< burned many a house beforo they coull be stopped. This was a sad Christina Day for tho persecuted pooplo, who wer now being taught that a wanton spiri had entered the hearts of their conquer, ors. In Pagan Rome, there was u 3 earl celebration.called the Saturnalia, or Pen rival of Saturn, whioh waa marked b the prevalence of a universal license uu merry-making. The slaves were the permitted to enjoy a period of freedot in speech and behaviour ; every oue feas! ed and' rejoiced ; work and busincs were entirely suspended; houses wer decorated with laurels and evergreens presents were made hy puren ts an friends, and All sorts of games uud amuse menta were indulged in by the citizen* Ia the early ages of Christianity, il ministers frequently experienced difl ouity in inducing tho couverts to ref ru i from indulging in tho popular umusi inents, which were so largely partie pated in by their Pagan neighbors. A last, influenced, partly by the i nulli out of denunciations, and partly by tho id< that, ike spirit of Christianity migl thereby, be advanced, the Church 01 deavored to amalgamate, as it were, tl old and new religions, and sought, I transferring the heathen ceremonies 1 the solemnities of Christian festivals, 1 make them subservient to tho cause . religious piety. Engrafted thus on the Kornau Saturn lia, Christmas festivities received, : England, further changes and modifie tiona, by having superadded to thet first,, the Druidical rites and supers! tious, aud then, after the arrival of tl Saxons,' the various ceremonies pra tioed by the ancient Germaus. The 1 salt bas boen the strange medley Christian and Pagan rites, which co tributo'-to make up the festivities the modern Christmas. Thus, cet monies, rites and symbols, on foll of meaning to Pagans, have bei transferred, without their meauin to Christians, and have como to have 1 entirely new aud different signiflcatio This* as least, is true ; they have oot to mean joy at the birth of our Saviot joy in view of his love for mankind ; j in burying animosities and reviv? friendship among men ; and last, L not least, in opening peculiar joy to m lions of little folks, who are not c enough to understand the mysteries mythology, or the intricacies of theoloj On the evening of the twenty-fourth December, or Christmas eve, the Chri mas holiday may bo said to com men The Christmas tree is supposed to hi originated in Germany, but it is ino porated with the celebration of Chri mas In Kn gland and the United Stat lu England it naturally comos from stock, for its prince** are imported-why not some of their customs? In America, especially in New York and Pennsylva? nia, the Germans have dotted the land with their happy homes, and have brought their Santa Glans, their Krish kinkle-a corruption of Obristkinklein, or the Infant Christ-their Christmas tree; and with the German and English and the Roman ceremonies, customs and ideas, the result is a day of days, with a central idea, but with many converging association? wide-spread, rendering the day rioh in composite symbols, central? ized upon the one great tbonght, Mes? siah-God with us! Hanging up the stocking, for Santa Glaus to fill with good things for good, and rods for the bad, is of German ori? gin; and when tho doors of the parloi are opened, and the bright eyes and pal? pitating hearts of the little ones como in to see what the Christmas treo bears foi them, who can estimate the joys of thc Christian world, on this groat anniversu ry of the year? Many of the grotesqne ceremonies o! ancient times have been laid aside, bul all that was sweet und rioh has heel cherished, and ripened-bringing ligh to tho dark corners of tho world, ?wuk oning joy in thousands of heart?, whosi sorrows had made them feel estrange*: from men nod forgotten of God. As ii old Pagan times, when Christianity wa iu its infancy, Christmas hud its abuses so at present it is, with many, tho occu sion of dissipation aud evil. Wo Dav sometimes been amazed, that men win are celebrating Christmas with such hila rity and zeal, should so far forge the commands of the ?Saviour, whos birth they celebrate, as to violate all th precepts of tho religion he carno to OH tablish, by drunkenness, wrangling nm other excesses.

It contains the sacred cryt or giotto of the nativity, and the tua arr is a short distance from thc ultu haviug before it tho altar of tho Maj When Joseph and Mary reached Bet lebem, they fonud the city so throng with people, who had resorted thither obedience to tho decree of Augustus, bo taxed, that they were compelled .seek the only place prepared for tho l oommodation of strangers bj'the Beth hemitus. This was the public khan caravanserai. But even hero they coo not bu accommodated, thu chambers hi ing hoon already taken -so that literal "there was uo room for them in t inn." Owing to tho critical couditi of the Virgin, a place waa necessary, a no other offering, they repaired to t stable. Not, however, a stablo like on as is commonly supposed, but like tin in the E:ist.

It is perhaps im] sible to answer the question conclus , ly, how long ago was our Lord bc j But, we believe it is agreed that it I been answered with sufficient acorn [ so that very little doubt ia entertain? to the probable time. The question bas been examined by continental and English scholars, as wo read, and al? though the precise year is uncertain, the approximation is a reasonable one. We have only space for the conclusion ar? rived at. This is a deduction from his? torical facts and probabilities; and the conclusion of an eminent anthority is, that the birth of our Lord was five years anterior to the present era, so that the present year 1869 would be actually 1874, or, the 1874th year since the Holy Na? tivity. The year, the month and the day, however, are matters comparatively unimportant. Tho great fact of its oc? currence is what chiefly concerns us. Even in the middle of the third century, Glemont of Alexandria, treated with con? tempt the efforts to fix the exact day, which he thought impossible. Its cele? bration on this day is based upon thc erroneous supposition that Zacharias wai high priest, and that when the angel ap? peared to him, it was on the day ol atonement. Our authority states thal tho mistakes having been made, the rea soning was in this wise : The day o atonement was in September ; John th? Baptist would bo boru in June: being the forerunner of Christ by six months our Lord would bo born in December Moreover there ia a variety of circum stances and considerations which milit?t ngaiust December as the mooth of th? nativity.k It is thought to havo beei moro probably in September. It is no at all necessary, however, to kuow th' particular day of an cveut in order ti cel?brate it. Wo muy nppoint any day t eclcbrato a known or believed even! without beiug compelled to fix tho da; of celebration to correspond with that c the actual occurrence; for, as in thi case, it is sometimes un impossibility j Let us joiu in tho festivities appropri?t ; to this, with joyful hearts, grateful fe I tho blessings wc enjoy and the man : benefits for which we have ample cans j to ho thankful. ; Special KTotioeta THE GREAT PICTORIAL.
