cause OF the festival Of rejoicing.
But why these green things? Why
the gifts on the branches OF pine?
Why the holly about the windows
that II may be seen from without. and
the laurel over the hearthstone? Why
above al and the center OF all. these
green and living growths. the mlstle.

Christmas seized upon these things
for the celebration of tho festival not
because they were green. but because
OF the power that held them green.
that kept them alive. that preserved
in them the beauty OF life. notwith.
standing the snow and sleet. the wind
and chilling rain and the whitening
blast.
In the gracious protection that was
granted TO these children OF the parish
a great and benefcent power was seen
90 be employed.
Those who celebrated the Christ.
mastide wanted the benefit OF this
power for their own protection and
preservation, so they took to them.
selves the emblems Of it-surrounded
themselves with them, frightened
their homes with them and rejolced
amid their branches.
II Is the spirit OF these living
growths that appeals 10 us when all
the rest OF inanimate nature appears
10 be sleeping under the mantle OF
winter. Before Christmas was. the
spirits behind the green were believed
in by an imaginative people. and the
great festival adopted them.
The ancient Druids believed in the
spirits OF the holly. OF the laurel. OF
the bay and OF the great green trees
that formed the walls aud living
arches OF their temples. To them these
things were peopled with sylvan splr.
its that loved the growths and kept
them green by protecting them from
winter frosts. They took the branches
within their dwelling. believing that
the spirits would follow and there ex.
ercise their protecting care.
Among these spirits they believe
none to be more powerful or capable
OF bringing greater blessing than those
OF the mistletoe. Blessed the man and
maid who met beneath the mistletoe
bough.
These beliefs have gone from the
world. but we cling TO the emblems OF
them. and rejoice amid them at the
Christmas celebration.
And therefore we deck our houses
today with the symbols Of the simple
beliefs OF a ,ong past age.

We we're more than sad to hear of
the death of our dear old friend, G. II.
Collins, who died at Irondale last
Wednesday, June 4th. He moved to
Des Arc in 1874, and put up goods in
the Norwine store on the corner OPP
posite the depot.
About a year after his family had
settled here, one Sunday night about
nine o'clock, while most every one
had gone to church in Mill Town, lad
dition to Des Arc), his wife and little
girl about s or 10 years Of age stayed
at home. They lived up stairs over
the store. All at once the coal oil
lamp exploded and set the house on
fire. The little girl, Jessie, had re-
tired and her mother was so excited
she forgot her child and it was left in
the house and was burned to death.

but too late to be Of any help to the
child. There we're eighteen houses
burned that night.
Mr.. Collins then rebuilt across the
street on the west side of the railroad
and built q lovely home and lived there
until last fall. He then sold out to
Stevenson Bros, having lived ever
since with his children. His health
has been failing for some time and he
could hardly get around for quite a
while. We miss him so much in the
church and Sunday School. He was

Friends we love are quickly flying,

While the years are rolling on.
