Another View Of Christmas.

AuOtQ0r view OF Cnrl6CmHSs
To the Editor OF the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Nov. 12.-Who
would be a pessimlst or take a pes
simist's views of Christmas? What
if Christ was not born on the twen-
ty-fifth of December? What if that
day was NICE the annual festal
time of the sun-worshipers? What
if religionists, pagan and Christian,
kept it in the past with supersti-
tlous rites? What if Santa Claus
was an inv ention to substitute in
the nursery and childish magma
ton a saint for an idol and thereby
divert from the recognition and
worship of other deities than the
true God? What if customs, SEEM
ing ridiculous because not under
stood, have passed from ancient to
more mod IN observance of Christ
mas? And what if churches, in
their endeavor to get rid of these,
have devised the most attractive of
ceremonies and the grandest of lit
urgies?
: The fact remains that there has
ever been associated with that day
enough OF religious and social en-
ijoyment to cause, Notwithstanding
the opposition of some of the sects.

acceptable alike to old and young.
high and low, rich and poor.
The exact date of the birth o.
Christ is not known. Some of the
early Christians kept their feast o.
the nativity in May, others il
April and still others IN January
History, however, records that il
the third centuory, in the reign O
Diocletian, a number of Christians
who assembled in December te
celebrate the birth of Christ were
burned, together with the build
ing they occupied. And, besides.
there is nothing in history to show
that the festival of the nativity Of
Christ was either arbitrarily Oh
casually associated with the TWEEN
ty-fifth of December by the church
Doubtless among the most potent
causes tending to that result was
the fact that almost the entire
population of the Roman empire
originally regarded the winter
solstice as the period when theil
various deities were mos. active
in their beneticent plans ane
preparation for the development
of their precious gifts of spring
summer and autumn. And il
considering the propriety of cele
brating Christmas in December i
ought to be horne in mind that il
is in the latter part of this month
that the sur begins to return north
ward and commences to put into
operation influences that eliminate
in seed time and harvest; and that
on that account, if for no other, il
is the season of the year mos
susceptible of being used with eff
feet to illustrate the commence
ment of the new and fruit-bearlns
life that the advent of Christ in.
a%ugurated in His kingdom. AS ar
institution, ecclesiastic and civil,
Christmas has promoted religious
and social enjoyment in family
circles and among mankind. Like
all other days, it has been subject
ed to abuse but, thank Ged, it il
too firmly seated in the human
heart to be easily belittled or up.

Ex-Congressman Buckner.


Ex-Congressman A. II. Buckner,
of Mexico, Mo-, arrived in the city
yesterday and is at the Laclede.
Judge Buckner has not visited the
city before in three years. "The
farmers have about realized" said
the Judge, ''that they must do
something to protect their interests.
They have been slow, but the re-
cent elections in Iowa show they
are effective. This is particularly
true of Iowa. Future elections
will further demonstrate their
awakening in the matter of the tar
if. Politics in our immediate
neighborhood is quiet. 1 believe
Congressman Norton anticipates
some opposition in his district, but

its extent will be, / am not advised"
