CHRISTMAS ApHoRIsMs.

Pope Telesphorus, who died before the
middle Of the Second century, deserved
canonizing, if for nothing else, for insti-
tuting Christmas as a festival. It has
been celebrated ever since in all Chris
tian lands, and has given more happi-
ness to children than any day in the
calendar. Making children happy Is
the essence Of Christianity.
OF late years, Christmas has become
far more domestic and merrymaking
holiday than religious one. But it is
religious in the best sense, since it is a
day Of peace and rest, and opens the
heart to human needs and human SYM
pathies.
The most satisfactory way to observe
Christmas is to do at least one good act
to some of our fellows. The conscious
ness of doing such an act will inspire us
to do others, and so sanctify the day.as
to make it ever welcome.
Christmas is always associated with
the good Jesus who, whether regarded
as God or man, was the purest, kindest,
poblest being that has walked the earth.
He has inspired love in saint and sinner,
In devotee and skeptic alike. Men may
WItuBA0 dOOub C1CCQ5S Out dDOUb OOouc
and his beautiful life there can hardly
be any difference of opinion, for he pitied
all who suffered and strove to heal every
aching heart.
Christmas has gradually evolved out
Of its theology and has come to stand for
q festival of love. Therefore all men
love it, for throughout the universe love
is born of love and is worshiped for its
own sake.
A clear conscience furnishes the best
digestion for Christmas dinner.
Christmas ia day to form good reso
lutions. 1t is easier to form them on
that OF any other day than to keep
them for a single month.
No conscientious person can enjoy his
Christmas dinner if he knows anybody
else within reach to be hungry. The
consciousness that we have given food
to the needy provides us with the finest
appetite.
Christmas was formed, in the era Of
theology, from Christ and mass. In.
these practical and luxurious days 1t
might signify that we should try to i'm
itate Christ in dealing with the mass of
mankinG, who are usually more or less
unfortunate. BY 30 dealing with theni

Early Christmas Carols.

Christmas carols have been sung ever
since the rude tribes Of Germany were
converted to Christianity. There are
books by the score containing hundreds
of them. Bishop Taylor observes that
the "Gloria in Excelsis," the well known
hymn sung by the angels to the shep-
herds at our Lords Nativity, was the
earliest Christmas carol. Bourne cites
Durandus to prove that in earlier ages
of the church the bishops were accus-
toned on Christmas day to sing carols
among their clergy. The original Of the
Anglo Norman carol translated by
Douce) of the date Thirteenth century
Is in the Bri 4sh museum. 1t begins:
Now. Lc- lings, listen to our ditty,
Strangers coming from afar;
Let poor minstrels move your pity,
Give US welcome, soothe our care
In 1921, ynkyn de Warde printed q
act of Christmas carols. One of them was
"a Carol bl. lgyng in the Bore's Head"
Chaucer alludes to it in his "Franklein's
Tales"
James sitteth by the fire with double berd,
And he drinketh of his bugle-hOrne the wine
Before him standetb the braune Of the tusked
swine.

Christmas comes but once year;
And when It comes 1t brings good cheer,

Again, in a rare tract published in
1858, are the lines:

For Christmas comes but once q year.
Herrick, in his "Hesperides," treats:

A plenteous harvest to your grounds
Awriter IN The Gentleman's Magazine
for May, 1884, tells us that "the drink
ing the Wassail bowl or cup was, in all
probability, owing to keeping Christmas
in the same manner they had before the
Feast of Yule. There was nothing the
northern nations so much delighted in
as carousing ale, especially at this sea-
son, when fighting was over. 1t was
likewise their custom at all their feasts
for the master of the house to fill large
bowl or pitcher, to drink out of it first
himself, and then give to him that sat
next, and so it went around"
In Poor Robins Almanac for 1877, in
the beginning Of December, he observes;
Now blocks to cleave this time requires
Gainst Christmas for to make good fres-
which salutary advice is still to be heed
ed in northern latitudes.
The Yule log figures largely In all the
poetry of the Thirteenth. Fourteenth and
Fifteenth centuries, and of this Herrick
says'
