THE FIRST CHRISTMAS.
From the Gospel According to st.
Luke, Chapter ii, Verses 7-2O.

Luke, Chapter III, Verses 7-2O.
And she brought forth her firstborn
son and wrapped him in swaddling
clothes and laid him in a manager, be-
cause there was no room for them in
the inn.
And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping
watch over their flock by night.
And, 10, the angel of the Lord came
upon them. and the glory of the Lord
shone round about them. and they were
sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them: Fear
not, for, behold, I bring you good It'd
ings of great joy. which shall be to all
people.
For unto you is born this day in
the city of David a Saviour, which Is
Christ the Lord.
"And this shall be a sign unto you,
ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."
And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God and saying:
"Glory to God in the highest, and OH
earth peace, good will toward men,"
And it came to pass as the angels
were gone away from them into heav-
en- the shepherds said Il to another.
Let us now go even unto Bethlehem
and see this thing which is come TO
pass, which the Lord hath made known
unto us"
And they came with haste and found
Mary and Joseph. and the babe lying
in the manger.
And when they had seen it they
made known abroad the saying which
was told them concerning this child.
And they that heard it wondered at
those things which were told them by
the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things and
pondered them in her heart.
And the shepherds returned, glorify-
ing and praising God for all the things
that they had heard and seen us it was
told unto them.

Drnids and MistIetoe.

The Druids always sought the mis-
tletoe by the full moon and, when they
found it, rejoiced and w%orshiped. Aft
err cutting off its twigs with Il golden
sickle they sacrificed two milk white
bulls beneath the tree. The sacred
shrub was then immersed in water.
and the resulting concoction became
their remedy for all diseases. The early
Christians would not permit the use of
the mistletoe in their churches because
of its heathenish origin; consequently
it was hung only within the private
abode and usually in the kitchen. Any
maid caught standing beneath a branch
had to forfeit a kiss to the gallant
eagerly awaiting his opportunity. With
each kiss Il berry was plucked, and
when all of the berries disappeared the
bare branch was useless TO the young
man who wished to claim the privilege
of thus saluting the fair damsel there
after. The mistletoe was said to have
been the original magical shrub or for
hidden tree in the garden of Eden
