. 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.

in the world; where King David ouc
resided; the burial place of Abrahan
Isaao and Jacob; of Sarah, Rebekah an

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
