CHRISTMAS

Before We again greet our patrons with
the ADyocAxE, Christmas viii have come
and gone, and little IN advance we ten
der them the compliments Of the season
and wish them the meFsiest Christmas
they ever had.
The Christmas Festival Is rapidly es-
tablishing itself IN the respect and honor
Of an Christian denominations throughout
the country. Even the children of the
Puritans in New England are coming to
is observance. - that We may reasonably
hope that st no distant day all Christian
churches viii be united in celebrating the
birth of Him IN whom they have life and
unity.
While il Is certain thas the exact date
Of our Lords birth cannot be determined,
Il IS also certain that the event Of his birth
was celebrated on some day from very
early period There are traces of it in the
second and third centuries. The Western
churches, from the first seem to have OBJ
served the 18th Of December; and late in
the fourth century the festival was Fixed TO
that date BY the Bishop Of Rome, since
which time, Christmas has almost univer-
sally been celebrated on that day
In the early ages Of the Church this
festival was strictly religious one, Greg
DRY Nazianzen exhorted his Aoek against a
worldly manner Of celebrating the Natiyi-
ty; against decorations, dances, music,
loaded tables and nieeties Of cookery. An
such things, he said, belonged TO heather
ish pomp and Pagan festivals How then
came Christmas to be the merry day Of
manifold good cheer and infinite hilsrity
that it has been for ages, and still in a
great measure is, the world oyer2 II i
significant fact that many of the most
popular festive ohseryanees Of Christmas
especially in the Old World, are of heath
enorigin. Among them the slaves enjoyed
temporary freedom; business and worl
were suspended houses we're deeked with
evergreens; games, amusements and feast
ing abounded Similar rejoieings wer,
observed among the ancient Britons, thu
Saxons, the Scandinayians, and Germans
Fora long time the officers of the Churel
stroye hard to restrain the Christians iron
the amusements Of their Pagan eOun
trymen- The sports and games and revel
ries Of the Christmas season we're rigid,
but Intellectually prescribed, till finally tn
Church took possession Of and adapted +
its own uses many ofthe Pagan ceremonies
For its religious significance let US thanl
the early Church that instituted it; and.
the Pagans gave to it some social and fes
tive and merry-making characteristics, $
that the holy day Is also holiday, whel
all people are free, and bound to be a
glad and jolly and hilarious as Is consist
ent with morality, then let US thank tn
Pagans also.
May all the people Of our country NOR
and more generally, heartily and ioyously
on each successive anniversary, obsery
and celebrate this ancient and sacred fe.
tiyal, both in their sanctuaries and at thei
firesides.
And all the bells on earth shall ring.
And all the angels IN Heaven shall sing.
And all the souls on earth shall sing.
ON Christmas Day, ON Christmas DAY.

CHRISTMAS GITTs.-''Christma is coming. 9"
and the practice Of making presents on that
day is said to have originated in the example
ofthe wise men Of the East, who brought their
offerings TO the mAnger at Bethlehem, and laid
them At the feet Of the infant Saviour. Since
then, Christmas gifts have been universal
throughout ChTisiendQm, AND many persons
'ael that they have not properly discharged
their duty unless they bestow something among
friends and favorites. Those who can afford
ii usually do, and this holiday never passes
around without an interchange Of tokens OF
good feeling and kindness in almost every
neighborhood. Be the gift ever so small, and
intrinsleally ever so valueless, it is esteemed
as a special favor. The anxiety with which
our children look forward to the approach of
this popular holiday, is an indication Of the
great interest they feel in the receipt of those
gilfs, and their little hsarss ags made light aud
hlled with gladness whenever they are made
the objects Of some special donation. The
practice ofdeeorating our churches with ever
green on Christmas, originated with the an.
Gent Druids, who wore garlands Of ivy and
misletoe On that day, and since their time it
has been religiously kept up BY several de.
nominations Of Christians.
