RED OOSS NOTES. *

* o e *0** * 9* * 9* *.
On Monday afternoon, April 15th,
the offlcers and chairmen of commit
tees of all the branch and auxiliary
chapters w-hich are under the jurisdic
tion of the local chapter held their
first monthly meeting. Every organ
ization of the chapter was represent
ed and the meeting was satisfactory
from every standpoint. iEach of the
chapters presented a very glowing re
port of the progress of 'Red Cross
Work which is now being carried on
tinder the (irection of each of the re
spective chapters. To the leaders of
the work of the parent organization
these reports were a revelation. The
interest in this work has progressed
beyond even the most sanguine h)opes
of tile (irectors. This meeting was
111d for the )ur i'pOse of arousing in
creased effort in Red Cross affairs and
it is felt tiat as a whole the meeting
was altogether a success.
The bureati of puiblicily of the
Southern Division has issued inst rue
tiois to each of the publicity man
agers of the chapters under its jurls
diction that -they devote all the avail
able space to the Liberty Loan drive.
This will be dlone largely by all tile
newspalers of the country and will
probably do a great deal to stim u late
interest. in tie great cautse. It is thie

AY OF NATIVITY UNKNOWN
World Has Only Tradition to Rely
Upon as to Date of the Birth
of Christ.
The traditional 25th of December as
the date of the birth of the Savior has
no historical authority beyond the
fourth century, when the Christmas
festival was introduced first in Rome
(A. D 800), on the basis of several Ro
mun feslivals (the Saturnalia, Sigil
laria, Juvenalla, Brunalia, or Dies
natalls Invicti Solis), which were held
in the latter part of December, in com
imemoration of the golden age of lib
erty and equality, and in honor of the
sun, who in the winter solstice is, as it
were, born anew, and begins his con
quering nuarch. The only indieation of
the season of Christ's birth is the fact
that the shepherds were watching
their flocks in the field at the time
(Luke 11:8), and this fact points to
any other season rat her than winter,
and is, therefore, not favorable to the
traditional ditte. Besides, the ancient
tradition is of no account here, as it
varied down to the fourth century.
Clement of Alexandria relates that
some regarded- the 25th, Pachon (I. e.,
May 20), others the 24th or 25th, Phar
muthi (April 19 or 20), as the day of
Nativity.
As to modern research, the only
point on which divines generally agree
is that Christ was not born on Christ
mans day, while numerous learned au
thorities put the birth on almost every
date of the year.

The Wednesday Club.
The Wednesday Club had a after
noon of musle at the home of N Irs. J.
0. Watts Wednesday, at its last imet
Ing. Mrs. Lucas had arranged the
program and herself fturnIshed a very
large part of it. The leading thought
was the opera. Mrs. Lucas gave sev
oral opera selections on the Victrola,
aIfter which she read a paper on "The
DevelopmOent of the Opera". Then she
gave some piano numbers in her own
inlimitable style.
Three of Mrs. Lucas' pupils, Misses
Laura Emily Dial, Martha Barksdale
and Flora Uennett, played most pleas
ingly. .Mrs. Turner's class was rep
resented by Alisses 'Marion anld Kath
crieln lolt, who sang - duet very
sweetly. Every member of the club
who was present groatly enjoyed the
afternoon and felt very grateful to
Mrs. Laens and her assistants for the
pleasure givein.
