THE CHRISTMAS TREE. --The Christmas tree is at
home in the Teutonic countries of the north--that
is to say, in the Protestant ecOntrits df thithanY—whereas
in the C-tilholio parts of south Germany it is an utter
Strlttiger, or only known by name, or an artificial importa-
tion. It is needless to dwell on the beautiful meaning of
the Christmas tree, which represents, as it wore, the love
of the now-born Saviour for all infancy and childhood.
Christ being at the time of the year an infant himself, yet
superior in wisdom and charity to men of all ages and times
of life, bestows His gifts first on the little innocents. The
Christmrs tree should always bo a sapling of the fir or the
tanners, the evergreen leaves (Germans call them needles)
of which form a charming contrast to the snow of the
season, and, moreover, point to the eternal freshness and
youth of the Christian faith. By a monstrous pervorsityof
feeling, Christmas trees have in modern times been manu-
factured ; indeed instead of being taken from the living
wood, they have been made of cast iron, hollowed out and
filled with gas —a vile idea, worthy of Brummagem, not of
Birmingham ; in fact, worthy of the degenerate race of dry
money-makers, not of ciTilised and genial Christians.—
