Next year, iu spite of the stern faces

which had followed the Mayflower,
bringing some thirty five sturdy young
Engiishmen to strengthen the colony,
had also appar otly brought over with

Christmas celebration, and when in
1925, the anniversary came around and
Santa Claus prepared to make his de-

with spirit appropriate to the occasion
A year had passed and they were fairly
established in their new home, al
though everywhere around them the
savages still held possession. So weak
were they numerically that they were
looking forward with high hopes and
expectations to the arrival of Peter
Minult and the good ship Sea New,
with Reinforcement for the little
colony. A 4 after Minnlt came, and
the long-co.ted shrewd Hollanders had
| succeeded in buying the Island from
the Indian owners, they felt they ha 1
iadeed a hOma wherein to spread the
cheer OF he ''Kerssrydt," and to make
merry witbal. And we may well be-
lieve that the Christmas of 1926 was in
many respects the merriest ever
known. What fun those days held for
the young folks. "skating on the Velch,
or turkey shooting in the Forest" and
with what hail of welcome the great
ovens were made to YIELD up their
meats, and the barrels their brew,
while the logs cracked on the twelve
foot fireplaces and the mighty punch
bowls. REINFORCED by huge launches
of venison and whole roasted turkeys
weighed down the board! AS the years
passed by, the day became more and
more q social and dome site holiday,
with its gifts, trees, lights, affairs, din
ners and drinking.
For the first century, however, colo
NAL life, .especislly in New England,
bad few holidays. The Puritans hated
the English church festivals with such
persistent zeal that they frowned on the
public celebration of all alike, Christ
mas being their special detestation. A
few independent spirits cluugj to the
customs of their forefathers and OBJ
served Christmas, but the msjority
studiedly ignored it Even when the
church of England succeeded in estab-
fishing Christmas service in Boston,
Governor Belcher fsvorin9 them, the
judge and other public digniteries made
open war against it. AS late as 1899,
the only recognized holidays were
cleo ion, commencement, training day
and anksgiviug. The stern conscien-
tiousness that cut down the Maypole,
ard Charlestown in 1928 |
and 1887 and which held the eating of |
pancakes on Shrove Tuesday to be |
'heathenish vanity" could even lees |
endure the pompous mirth and royster-
ing of the Yuletide festival. Not until !

G rof disappearing in America. In
1855, the general court of Massachusetts,
enacted that ''any body who is found
observing by abstinence from labor,
day as Christmas day, shall page for
every such offense five shillings. "
Peter, the old historian of Connecticut,
tells US that one of the laws of that
state expres: ly forbade the keeping of
Christmas, the making of mince pies.
dancing or playing on anything except
the drum, jewsharp or trumpet. Poor
old Christmas was outlawed and pro-
scribed! 1t is true, in 1881, the prohi-
bition act was repealed; but for nearly
fifty years thereafter, the Puritan
antipathy controlled the people almost
everywhere, and in the New England
cities shops were kept open, markets
were held, and only a very small pro-
portion of the population attended SER
vice in the churches on that day.
But If the observance of Christmas
tagged among the stern Puritans of
New England. it was quite different
with the jovial Dutchmen, who, with
their wives aud families, had coma
over to settle in New Netherlan ds some
four years after the arrival of the May
flower at Plymouth. At home "Ker-
strydt" (Christmas) was the first of all
their festivals. ''N,euw Jahr.'' "Paas'

age coast and now, safely anchored in

to establish their settlement on the
mainland. Several days were spent 10
choosing timber for bu'ldino, and on
Christmas day, as Bradford relates:
"We began to erect the first house for
common use, to receive them and their
goods" I'VE went on Shore" adds
another Pilgrim historian, ''some to
fell timber, some to saw, some to rive
and some to carry, so no man rested
that day." All over the Christian
world, the sacred day was being ob-
served, save by the Puritaps in Eng
land and on these shores of ours. A

The first Christmases of the pioneer
white settlers in America may be said
to have passed unrecognized and I'M
celebrated. So sad was the fate of the
Virginia colopists sent out no Raleigh
in 15S4-S7. that their disappearance
was never explained. The experiment
OF 1907 was q failure, and it was not
until about 1910, after repeated mis-
adventures OF the same sort, and after
. permanent settlement OF English
speaking colonists had been establish
ed, that the holiday was marked even
by q most Informal celebra alton on the

it regarded as holiday in New Eng
land, although for nearly a score OF
years before many families had made
Christine as two-week's season of visit
ing, in which both planters and slaves
participated. Gradually the world g
greatest festival won its way in Amer
lean hearts, and now its observance has
become almost general in every state
of the usion. Stockings are hanging
as religiously in New England homes
for Santa Claus to fill as anywhere in
the civilized world, and the exchange
of gifts and good wishes, the giving of
dinners and innumerable merry frOlics
that take place among US. show that

Atlantic.
But Christmas has always been day
of peace In American history. Many
times the Yule logs have blazed amid
surroundings of carnage and slaughter.
Some of these days are memorable.
During the Christmas week of 1914,
Jackson held the approaches to New
Orleans with less than 1000 troops,
some small unboats, and few scatt-r-
ed garrisons, against British feet of
~ mGu-Ol-WdT, OtcE 1OOO
guns, and with total force of 10000
men. Cochrane the British admiral,
bad boosted, 81 shall eat my Christmas
dinner in New Orleans" and the re-
mark being carried to jackson, the
taciturn old hero quietly observed:
up rhaps so, but shall have the hoo
or of presiding." After days of desul- |
tory fighting, all unfavorable to the
English, Major Geper al Pakenham, a |
famous soldier and brother-in-law to
the duke of Wellington, on Christmas |
morning arrived in camp and assumed |
the British command. He succeeded |
in blowing up couple of Runboats, |
while Jackson. armed with telescope |
which he had borrowed from an old |
watched the operation |
from the attic window of a farm house. !
He ate his Christmas dinner on the |
field, and Cochrane ate his on his flag
chip. The boast of victory was unful- |
filed, for the British flag went down /
amid smoke and slaughter in the great |
battle that followed two weeks later.
Half a century afterward on Christ
mas day, 1854, the guns of Butler aud
Porter were laundering against Wilm-
inRtOn, in an attack that was repulssd.
