CHRISTMAS IN AMERICA.
We Borrow from England and Ger many Those Customs Rest Adapted
 to Our Own Requiremsntsa

If Christmas is peculiarly the 7-sc7 c7ral of joy, the day when the gladness oi the deliverance in which every Christian believes is expressed, the American people have certainly done we'll in con tinuing the festival where it's celebra- tion is native to them, and reviving it where it had become obsolete. The the youthful part of it, is fairly en- titled to a good deal of merrymaking. Wholesome fun helps to form a well rounded character-to build up com plete man or woman-and to this ex- tent is the handmaiden of religion it. self.
 Our own American people have right fully inherited good deal of fun. The English people, who supplied the first important ingredient in cur national compound, were perhaps little too jovial. At all events the settlers of New England found it necessary to be somewhat unduly sad by way of pro- test aEainst their conduct. One form of protest was to banish all the cd English church holidays, and Christ mas with the rest.
 Indeed, there is a great deal of his torical evidence to show that the ma jority of the people in England had in a great measure forgotten the solemn aspect of Christmas in the festive as pect of it, and that the lord of mis- rule" who reigned on Christmas eve and sometimes for long while after ward, had things quite too much his own way.
 But the wholesome reaction did not by any means extinguish the capacity for innocent enjoyment which is really

Ice-Breaksrs Employed ao Pro- vent InterruptiOa of Traffic
 at Ruaaia's Port.

Vladivostok is no longer the lee closed port in winter it formerly was. for the resources of modecn shipbuild- ing have been called in and powerful ice-breakers keep it open the whole year round, so that now there is na interruption of traffic at any season and passenger steamers come at reg ular intervals all the winter, there fore reasons for obtaining Port Ar thur no longer exist, says Russian correspondent. Still, the climate is not good in winter. and, naturally. the officers of the men-of-war prefer to winter in Port Arthur or Nagasad. although in summer time the bright side of life in VladivostOk is quite As attractive as in the southern ports
 The place has been strongly forti- fled, but strangers are strictly pre- vented from visiting the forti6cA- tions, which are to be seen on all the hilltops.

The number of sOl- diers stationed at Vladiyostok has been greatly increased. and probably it would be a more difficult place to capture than Port Arthur.

REAL LESSON OF CHRISTMAS.
k Unattended by Love
 for Man,

"Too often in our Christmas re-
 ligious observances is this thought al-
 most entirely lost sight of, or not
 sufficiently emphasized" writes Ed
 ward Box in the Ladies Home Jour
 nal. There can be no love for God
 which is unattended with love for
 man. The final test of a Christian
 life is not the worship of God, but
 always the love of man for man. If
 the message of Him whose birth we celebrate at Christmas teaches us one
 thing above all others, it is not that
 that we shall try to do for Him as
 person, but that we shall seek to ing Jesus and clearly understanding Him. And wherever this true concep- tion of His life and teaching is reached, there we find men and wom- en thrilled with the passion for giv- ing. The little child wakes on Christ mas morning with it's heart full to overhowing with gladness, and by every gift in stocking, or beside era dle or bed, is taught anew the old, old lesson of love. Husband and wife, brother and sister, lover and sweet heart, friend and friend, as they re- ceive their gifts are reminded once more that love is not dream, but 8 reality-and a reality which grows more vital, more precious and more enduring with the years. The sick, in chair or in bed, as they open their Christmas packages, are almost recon- ciled to loneliness and pain. The the poor, the outcast, the waifs on the streets; those who have sinned and seem shut out from God and from man, all begin to feel strange thrills of hope and renewed aspirations as they are taken up and enfolded in the richness and fullness of the Divine love as it comes to them human love or attention on Christmas day. That is knowing Christmas in its highest and noblest sense; in its truest conception; know ing it in that spirit from which we derive the surest happiness"
The St. Johns herald., 1900-12-29

inborn in the Anglo-Saxon nature. It has come out strongly in subsequent generations of Americans.
 Meantime the jolly Dutch settlers of New York, the old-fashioned cavalier settlers of Virginia and the south, the good-hearted Germans of Pennsylvania and those who have come later, and the Irish people. who were merely sprin- kled along through the earlier days of settlement but who came in cori- ous, helpful showers more recently, have always believed in Christmas and kept it alive.
 Now, every one believes in Christ mas. The gospel of joy is preached every year in all our temples. The heavenly story which belongs to the day is heard by ears and sinks into hearts which have been we'll prepared for it by great deal of unselfish glad ness; for true Christmas fills the heart more with the pure gladness of giving pleasure than with the poorer satis- faction of being given it.
 Our American Christmas begins to take an American form, as is the case with the people, the ideas, the lam guage, and everything else which has been brought here from the old world. We borrow from the Christmas festi- vals of European nations what seems to be best adapted to our own require ments. Santa Claus, the German, is naturalized an American, and the Ger man Christmas-tree takes root in our soil. So does the English holly. Eng fish Christmas songs of course are easily sung by American voices; while, on the Christmas board, the native American turkey has never been known to quarrel with good British plumJpudding.
 Good cheer. indeed, is a proper part of the gospel of joy, if it is shared. Music belongs in an especial way to Christmas, for the gladness that can- not express itself in any other way pours itself out freely in song.
 Flowers, the earth's own expression of joy, should not be absent from Christmas celebrations where they can be procured; and where they cannot, the green boughs of evergreen trees may we'll testify to the universal faith, at the season when nature is cold and white, in the sure renewal of all the life that sleeps.
 The coming of Christmas is to be hailed, then, by more than the young, for more than they may we'll have. when it comes, ''the best time of all the year" Its coming is token that there can be no gladness without benevolence-that goodwill toward men" is the very foundation of ''peace on earth" And so, Merry Christmas to all our readers, and to all the world.
