CHRISTMAS GREENS.
Decoration OF EverEreens and Flow

era Ia of Pagan Origin.
The Christmas decorations may have
originated in the saturnalia or in the
old Teutonic practice of hanging the
interior Of dwellings with evergreen
Us Il refuge for sylvan spirits from the
in~clelnency of the winter, but the
Christmas tree Is of German origin.
It Is their chief ornament and symbol.
It is not used for the hanging Of gifts,
but 1t Is used entirely as a bright orna-
ment, being made to glisten with
lights and tinsel.
1t Is kept throughout the ~ days Of
Christmas and at intervals is lighted
and on New Years eve is lighted for
ell night.
The custom Of decorating dwellings
and churches with evergreen was
known by the Christians to be a rem
nan of paganism and was forbidden
by the council, but it had too strong a
hold to be given up.
Even In Boston Justice Samuel Sew
all cried out against it, but it crept to
It's place by degrees. Holly and ivy
were ~favorites In Great Britain, being
regarded as sacred emblems Of the
season.
Holly used in churches was kept by
families to insure a lucky year.
The mistletoe was held in so much
~yencration BY the pagans that it was
cut with a golden sickle by the prince
Of the Druids, with whom It first ap-
pears.
The Introduction Of flowers to the
tokens OF fGstivfty seems to have az
listed universally and at all times Of
history. 1t was a pagan manifestar
tion Of rejoicing, and, although forbid
den by the early church and de-
nounced by the Puritans OF New Eng
land, it became . general custom.
While obliged to give credit to early
and heather notions for much Of the
Christmas which we so fondly cherish,
we can but remember our own Ben
jamM Franklin for the N motto as
being American, "A good conscience

SUNDAY THOUGHTS.


From Kiugicy' sermon sour Deserts
one often hears complaints against
this world. and against mankind one
hears it said that people are unjust.
unfair, cruel that in this world no
man can expect to get what he deserves.
OF course there are great EXCUSES for
saying so, but still our Lord tells us|
that on the whole there is order lying
under all disorder, justice under an
injustice, right under all wrong, and
that on the whole we get what we
deserve. 'Be We therefore meroiful, as
your Father is also merciful, Judge
not, and ye shall not be indged: con
denim not and ye shall not be con-
demned forgive and We shall be for-
given. Give, and it shall be given
unto you, good measure, pressed down
and shaken together, aud running
over, shall men give into your bosom.
For with the same measure that We
mete withal, ehall 1t be measured to
you again. or course itis not always
SO, else why did orr Blessed Lord
come to seek and to save that which
was lost? But if we look honestly and
trathfully into our own lives, we shall
generally find the Lords words true;
the more we sban fad that on the
whole, in the long run, men viii bel
just and fair to us, snd give us sooner
or later what we really deserve. Now
to deserve a thing means to work for
it. serve for it, earn it as natural
consequences.

the nature Of fire to burn, and he gets
his deserts Ifamsn does wrong no

the nature Of Gin to make the sinner
unhappy, and he gets his deserts. God
