ing one dag rather than another for the
Christmas festival? The gospels. al
ways nnsAgre In dates, we're quite si-
lent here. They gave NO hint Of tho day
or month Of the Nativity. Oral tradi-
cent or Indifferent. There were, indesd
| 3 few scattsrsd suggestions Of the date
Iof Christ's birth floating here and there
Ismong the writinRs Of the fathers but
these were al Of late origin; manifestly
unhistorical. and above al quite CONTRA
dictory.
clement, Of Alexandria, said that
many Christians regarded the 20th Of
May ~ the day Of the Nasivitys others
| lpreferred tie 20th Of April, but he
/ favored the 10th OF November, In the
Eastern Church the 9th or 9th Of Janu-
| ary was celebrated "a the date OF ChTist's
baptism, and the Nativity WAS Joined
with this on NO better ground than Z
forced Interpretation Of Ezekiel 1, 1.3,
las q prophecy Of the Incarnation.
Others again fixed tho 21st Of March ~
the day Of Ohrist's birth. Between
such varying and slightly supported
assumptions there WAS little TO choose:
A historical date Was clearly ont Of
question. Nothing Was left for the
churoh to do but to select some day on
grounds Of convenience and symbolic
Significance, and celebrate II BY COM
mon consent as Christmas day.
It would take too long for me to traoe
the many reasons which led TO the

was doubtless connected BY . procees Of
deduction with the day which had
already been generally accepted as the
common date Of the Annunciatton and
OF the creation of the world. Assuming
that the world was made In the Spring,
because it was commended to bring
forth grass and herbs, and that 1t wa
made when light and darkness vert
eqnally divided, because 1.-THE evening
and the morning were the ftrst day." II
was natural, though somewhat naive
to fix upon the vernal equinox (accord.
ing to the Julian calendar, March 26)
- the exact date of the creation. HI
who could question the value o. sucn 9
ment as this must have had more logic
land less piety than balongod 70 the
early Christians.
And once having discovered by thii
Ieasy method the very day ON which the
world came into being and the glorious
light sprang out of darkness, whai
moro simple than to assume that 1t WA
lon the same day on which the power d
the Almighty overshadowed Mary,
and the Dayspring from on high began
his entrance into the world? Nothing
could be palmer. Even the least
imaginative of chronographers could

Thy diadem 8 emerald, of the clearest, pur-
est hue,
Set round with waves of snow-white foam,
and spray of feathery dew,
White ire SEES of the brightest pearls float
DER thine ample sheet,
And the rainbow lays its gorgeous gems in
tribute at thy feet.
Thy reign is from the ancient days, thy
sceptre from on high;
Thy birth was when the distant stars first lit
the glowing sky;
The sun, the moon, and all her orbs that
shine upon thee now,
Beheld the wreath OF glory which first
bound thine infant brow.
And from that hour to this, in which gaze
upon thy stream,
From age to age in winters frost or sum-
mer's sultry beam
By day, by night, without a pause, thy waves
with loud acclaim,
In ceaseless sounds have still proclaimed
the great EternaPs name.
For whether, on thy forest-banks, the Indian
of the wood,
Or, since this day, the re mans Zoe on his
fatherlalid has stood;
Whoe'er has seen thine incense rise, or
heard thy torrents roar,
Must have knelt before the God of all to
worship and adore
Accept, then, o supremely Great o Infnite
o Godl
From this primeyal altar, the green and
virgin sod,
The humble homage that my soul in graft
tude would say,
To thee, whose shield has guarded me
through all my wandering way.
For if the ocean be as naught in the hollow
of thine hand,
And the stars of the bright armament in thy
balance grains of sand
II Niagara's rolling food seem great to US
who humbly bow,
0, Great Creator of the whole, how passing
great a, THOU?
But though thy power is far more vast than
finite minds can scan,
Thy mercy is still greater shown to weak, de-
pendent man:
For him thou clott'st the fertile earth with
trees, and fruit and seed;
For him the seas, thelak S, supply his hourly
need.
Around, on high, or far or near, the uni
versal whole,
Proclaim thy glory, as the orbs in their fixed
And from creations grateful voice the hymn
ascends above,
While heaven re-echoes back to earth the
chorus "God islove"
Methinks, to trace Thine awful fea-
lures with our pencils point, were but
to press on Sinai.
