The origin of our Christmas festival Is pre-
historic No one knows anything certain NJ
to IL. Tho date az IL was evidently not iixec
by the birth of Christ but by the movements
Of the sun, Tim day when the sun reache,
the limit Of its southern movement and turned
northward was the ono fixed upon by the an
cient world "a a feast day. Tho sun worship,
ers of Persia doubtless gave the festival {,
Old Rome. and the Christians naturally
adopted the day, which they found made
ready TO hand. for festive purposes, and Sc
the Roman Sdiarnuiid became Chrisfidnd, or
our Christmas There is no reason to sup
pose that the date corresponds to the nativity
OF Jesus. Clemens, one OF the Christian
Christ, expressed the opinion that the birth Of
Christ occurred In tho month Of May, which
is quite probable.
Bat the festival Is not dependent on any
date. Ii lives in its own life derived from the
aminble life IF all peoples. For whether We
find II In Persia or in Rome, among heather
or Christian people, We always find ii pro
senting ono and the same bright appearance
In every nation and age having "a different
name In every language, we find IL always
inspired with the same spirit Ii is always a
day dedicated to friendship and affection
and expressed in gift -giving II is pre-emi-
ncntiy now what II has always been day Of
love and Of gifts
1t Is true festival. That Ia enough q say
OF IT.. The innocent happiness ii brings To
households sanctitics IL to us all, and will
forever. All the swcotor and holicr il
seems to us because II antrdates
the religion which now fosters
II. We receive 1t IA a sweet creation OF hui
man affection, before humanity knew its con-
noction with Diyinity-a fragrant custom
drifted to Ms on tho current Of time from tho
indiscernihlc distances, which stretch back to-
ward the beginning OF the world. How the
Persian children enjoyed it, How the BOYS
and girls OF the Pagan times and world
laughed over their gifts and frolicked around
the tree, even as our little ones de- to-day
We have connected IL witha diviner event, but
the sweet purposes il serves now, it served in
all the dim days long gone. Let us rcmrm-
Der amid the gaiety Of the holiday season
that II II now among the least If Christ's tri-
umphs that he has captured the Joyfulncss of
the world, and holds IL like white dove in
his hands.
