Christmas Day.

Though Christmas day is now re.
garded as festival peculiar to the
Christian religion, as distinguished
from all other forms of belief, its
claim to be so regarded isquite doubt
full. AS the month of December in
Judea is one of rain and storms, the
Nativity could hardly have been on
the 25tli of that month, as shepherds
and their llocks would not have been
out on the plains of Bethlehem in
such weather. a fairly good case has
been made out for October, and 1T is
certain that until the fifth century,
the date was later than the 25th OF
December. Possibly the festival
may have been placed at the date it
now is by the early Christians in their
desire to displace the Roman "Satur.
nalia,' Il heather orgie. Among our
Anglo Saxon ancestors such mid
winter festival seems to have been
known long before the priests of the
new religion had made their way from
Rome into the forests Of Germany.
However disputes as to the date or
origin may be settled, Christmas is
the day of gifts and good will, and the
Burlington wishes merry day to all
it's friends in the Northwest, merely
suggesting that if you are intending
to travel during the holidays, your
ticket should read via Burlington
Route. For full information as to
rates, ETC., address w. j. G. Kenyon,
Gen. Pass. Agent. st. Paul, MINI.
