CHRISTMAS IN 1621
i
Rebuke Administered to New

Young Men Who Had Arrived-on Little

Ship Fortune Reprimanded
for Festivities.
? IT WAS In 1G21 that Governor Ilrad1

tlie New England colony who had Just

and who wanted to celebrate the holiday.
the OetroifN'ewjs recalls. Puritanlam
brought over with it in the Mayflower
the anti-Christmas feeling, ant! .
when the group of lusty youngsters at
tempted to observe tlie day they wen
sharply criticized by the colony.
The men were called out to work
that day as on other days, hut tlw
newcomers declared it against tlieii
consciences to work on Christmas day
The governor left thetu and led nwa>
the rest of the workers. Put when h?
returned at noot^ the young uien were
In tlie street at play?some pitching
the bar and some playing stool hull
He took away their implements am!
told thein it was agu'ngt his eonseienrc
that tliev should play, while others
worked and that they could observe
the day within doors, hut there should
he no reveling in the streets.
On the day In question a tree, was
chopped down and dragged into one of
the rough cabins where ii was
trimmed with cranberries and pop- ;
corn, while the young people feasted i
their eyes on its beauties. These "revelries"
were frowned upon by the majority
of the colonists and in the j

' THE YULETIDE FLAKE
Spark in Hearts of People Cannot
Be Quenched.
All Have Desire to Make Fellcv/mcn
Happy by Gift or V/arcis of
Greeting.
i
NEITIil'Il hatred, nor envv. nor do
ceif. non all the legions <>f ugly
human passions tliat assail the heart
nor rancor between*individuals, nor
national tost for power, can extinguish
it. They may dim hut they can
not quench (lie spark in the heart of
man which impels lain, as every wan- ,
in? year brings the Christmas, to try
to make a few of his fellowmen a little
happier. Often it Is by the method
of the gift, perhaps something that
costs hundreds of dollars, maybe only
a penny card hearing an inscription
of good cheer. Frequently it is something
intangible, the wJiole-Potiled
word of greeting to the old lady in
a shawl who sell:* you your paper,
or the sinilv of comradeship which you
give the conductor \vly> punches your
ticket, or the1 elevator man who takes
you up to your oflioe (fellow workersall).
It Is not giving that counts, not
the bestowal of something valued in
dollars and cents, the trnnsference'of
something from your hand to another's.
That is a purely mechanical
process, which may or may not create
happiness. No; it is the longing
to give, the desire to be tire cause of :
another's happiness.
To wish to help others is the oldest i
passion In the world?even a little
older than the Impulse to overcome
others. And it is the deathless passion
as well. It needs no Christmas
day to keep it alight, hut as long as
Christinas continues to provide fuel to
make the flame of good fellow drp
burn brighter, that day will continue
to be the richest 21 hours in all the
year.
THE FIRST CHRISTMAS
Birth ot the Christ Child Announced
by Angel.*
Good Tidings of Great Joy to All the
People in Coming of
the Savior.
Nt OW it caine to pass in those days,
there went out a decree from
Caesar Augustus, that al! the world
.should he enrolled. This was the first
enrollment made when Quirinius was
governor of Syria. And all went to enroll
themselves, every one to his own
city. And Joseph also went Up from
lialllee. out of the city of Nazareth
into Judaea, to the city of David, which
is called Bethlehem, because lie was ol'
ihe house and family of I>avid. to
enroll himself with Mary, who was be
trot bed to him. being great with child.
And it came to pass, while they were
there, the dnv? \vp-e fulfilled that she
should be delivered. A: ' -h?- 1 :.??t
forth her first-born son; aid she
wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and
laid him in a manger, because there
was not rootu for them in the inn.
And there were shepherds in the
wime country abiding iu the field, and
keeping watch by night over their
flock. And an angel of the Lord stood
l>y theiu, and the glory of the Lord
shone round about them; and they
were sore afraid. And the angel said
unto them. Be no; afraid; for, heboid
1 bring you good tidings of greut joy
which shall be to all the people: lor
there Is born to you this day In the
city of David a Suvior, who is Christ
the Lord. And this is the sigu unto
you: Ye shall find a bnl#* wrapped in
swaddling clothes, and lying iu a man2*
r.
And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising <Jod. and saying.
Glory to God In the highest.
And on earth peace among men In whom
he is well pleased.
