Christmas.

Is to-day the veritable anniversary of
the birth of Jesus of Nazareth? 1t is
a question often asked, but never quite
satisfactorily answered. Reverent pre-
disposition can always find sufficient
evidence to answer yes, while it is to be
noted that the question of itself im-
plies degree of religious skepticism.
Men have even stood in pulpits with
little enough to do To devote an hours
oratory to the disproof of it. 1t is
quite as certain that Jesus was born on
the 18th of December rs that Augustus,
the emperor under whom he was born,
was born in the sixty-third year before
him, or that Tiberius, the emperor un-
der whom he died, came into tie
world forty-two years, one month, snd
nine days before him. That is To say,
| ii is the decent habit of the world to
accept what testimony, tradition and
history have TO offer concerning the
birthdays of the great and Herewith
| be content.
1t is certain that as early as the year
| $50 the date we now celebrate was uni
versalIy recognized among Christians
without question as their Savior's
natal day. That fact alone is all-suf-
ficient for succeeding generations. If
all records and allusion to the date of
the birth of George Washington were
/ To be blotted from all American writ
ings earlier than 1901 it would be suf-
ficient for posterity that at the begin
ming of the twentieth century the 22d
of February was universally recognized,
and that the day was observed Us le-
gal holiday. This is the best founda-
ton we have for the authenticity OF
December p as the birthday of Jesus.
In the year 40 st. Justin Martyr,
the first great Christian apologist, said
that the best record eXtant of the birth
day of Christ WAS to be found in the
archives at Rome. Addressing the
emperor and Roman senate, he said:
"There is a certain village in the land
of Judea, distant thirty-five stadia from
Jerusalem, in which Christ Jesus was
born, as We can learn from the enroll
ments completed under Cyrenius, your
first procurator in Jerusalem" Iii the
year 200 Tertullian said the same
thing: FINALLY, concerning the Gen.
sus enrolment of Augustus, which the
Roman archives preserve as faithful
witness of the Lords nativity" Any
man in the nineteenth century who
wants more explicit proof of matter
that is not of great vital moment any.

The Ideal Christmas.

The ideal Christmas is found not in
the land of flowers, bat in the snow
bound, rugged country Of the north.
Without, keen, frosty air, long stretches

children and tables high with the good
things Of life-these are the conditions
which seem essential 70 the complete

A Little Story Which ForetelIs His Early
Demise.


Demise.
In the. Vatican garden grows vigorously
a grapevine which Leo planted with his
own hand and in which he has always
taken parental pride. Beginning this week
the vine was covered with fruit.
"Look," said the sovereign pontiff to
his attendants. "Those grapes will yield
fine wine, but shall not be here to drink
of it,"
In the Vatican this little story Is told
daily, and there is not one man within the
walls of the great palace, from the cardinal
secretary of state down TO the humblest
papal guard. who does not know or believe
his holiness spoke Of that vine with the
spirit of prophecy strong upon him.
1t would be pleasanter IL the statement
of Vatican affairs could stop here but the
conscientious reporter is bound to put on
record the fact that the struggle for tho
succession to Leo XIII has already com.
menced with its attendant cabals and in
trigues. Tho merits Of the rival candidatei
are discussed and wrangled over.
Political influences are taking sides, and
one can almost see now the conclavo di-
vided into three contending camps, French,
Italian and Austrian. HumSh frailties
cannot be excluded even from the sacred
college. The struggle for the mastery is
bound TO be fierce and timid spirits are
yearning for some compromise which shall.
prevent modifying strife. Dispatch
