You'll from your pack of playthings take,
Beside my bed, big red drum
And bang it hard until l wake.

The things you bring from Fairyland.

How much l like the gifts you bring
And how I'd like to see you go
And be fine, old jolly king,
Whose throne should be of frosted cake,
Whose crown the holly leaves should make
So il with Joy you'd make me jump

CHRISTMAS to all the civilized
IL world Is the day for which all
~S other days were made. The
k3&kl trade of the world so far as 1t
relates to personal wants, the COM
merce Of the world so far as 1t concerN5
the luxuries and indeed many of the
necessities of civilized man, circle
about Christmas, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat For year the max
ers Of toys and -brac, the manu-
facturers of the thousand and one arti-
cles which our complex life demands,
look forward to Christmas, labor to be
ready for Christmas and in every way
show their appreciation of the fact that
the season of general rejoicing is their
time of harvest
We have accustomed ourselves to
look upon this festival season as in
peculiar sense the heritage of the
Christian nations, and we sometimes
indulge in self congratulations at the
thought that we alone possess the
most inspiring of festivals the feast of
childhood, the season of universal mer-
rymaking. So far as its present form
and name are concerned we are doubt
less In the right, but at the same time
1t is well to remember that while holi-
day seasons change name and form
their value is rarely altered, for in eel
ebrating Christmas we are simply per-
petuating a custom so ancient that its
origin is lost In those ages of myth
when written record was not and tradi-
tion was the only guide.
Among all nations north of the equa-
tor there has from time immemorial
existed midwinter festival to hail the
return of the sun from the south, and.
according to the degree of civilization
this time of the year has always been
celebrated with popular rejoicings
There is little doubt that the earliest
form of religion is found in sun wor-
ship. Recognizing the fact that the
king of day is the author of life and
heat and comfort, he was reverenced
accordingly and under various names
and often with diverse attributes was
honored as the source of all existence.
