In the countries mentioned. But these
exceptional celebrations In reality
strengthen the observance OF the Ma
tivity on Dec. 20.
The Eastern church celebrated for
a time their Epiphania on Jan. 6. But
the Epiphania was not the Natalis.
The festival is still held on Jan. 6 as
the Epiphany, or Manifestation of
Christ to the Gentiles in the person

interposition of a star. The fact that
there was a hesitancy on the part of
some in accepting Dec. 25, and a con-
troversy among others, and then the
final adherence Of the whole Eastern
church, show conclusively that the
date was not blindly accepted. The
intelligent adherence of the whole
church proves that the observance
was based upon reliable data, suffi-
cient to satisfy the inquiry OF indie
pendent minds To sum up: The re-
ception OF Dec. 25 from the very first

Celebrations the World Over
Christmas in the South.

Fireworks are being shipped into all
parts of the South for the Christmas
and New Year holiday celebrations,
says the New York Tribune. Large
consignments have been going out
every day during the past three or
four weeks. and these shipments VIII
continue until after Christmas. It
was estimated by two prominent local
dealers last week that not less than
100000 worth of Roman candles,
rockets, pinwheels. crackers, torpe-
does and colored fire powder will be
set off south Of the Mason and Dixon's
line during the last week Of the dying
year. In the South the Christmas
celebration takes the place OF the In
dependence day celebration. there be-
ting little demonstration there on the
Fourth of July. This las been true
for many years, both Of the cities and
country districts, but since the Span
ish.American war the people OF the
South have entered more heartily into
the noisy observance of the Fourth.
Colored folks will spend their last
dollar for firecrackers and rockets.

OF the whole and undivided church
make us as certain as anything can,
short of mathematical demonstration,
OF the correctness of Dec. 25 as the
true date of the Nativity.
But presume the most convincing
of all arguments will be allowed to
be this: On the Cross Our Lord com.
mitted the care of His blessed Mother
to His beloved disciple, st. John. She
spent the closing years Of her life at
st. Johns home. The Nativity was
celebrated many times during her life
time. 1t is absolutely Uncomfortable
that the birth of her son could be cele-
hrated with her knowledge and con-
sent on wrong date II never before,
she must have spoken TO st. John
after the ascension of the night and
incidents of the birth of Him they
both loved SO well. II Is inconceiv-
able that st. John could have cele-
brated the Nativity on any other than
the day of birth. ST. John had dis
ciple well known in history, Polycarp,
bishop of Smyrna. He celebrated the
Nativity, and it Is inconceivable that
he, whose boast 1T was that what he
delivered he received from St. John,
could observe the Nativity on any
other than the correct date. Now,
Polycarp had disciple named Ireneus,
and Ireneus claims that he delivered
the doctrines and customs as he re-
ceived them from st. Polycarp and
others. This Ireneus was made bishop
of Lyons. and delivered to the Chris
tlans there the customs he had re-

Holly the "hioIyn Tree.

In the middle of the Forest Of Dean
England, there stands a building call
ed the Speech House, around which
grows a number of old holly trees
They were looked upon by the folB
OF the locality with so much venera
ton that, SO recently as 1880. boughs
were cut from them and used to take
the place OF the Testament in swear
ing In witnesses in the adjoining
court. It is said that the ancient Brit
ons held the tree as sacred. and plant

When holly came to be coupled with
Christmas other notions prevailed. II
Rutlandshire II was thought unlucky
to bring 1t into the house before
Christmas. In the Western shires the
branches were taken home from the
churches which they had adorned and
kept for luck during the following
year. School boys used to make bird
lime by chewing the bark. Because
the leaves of its lower branches are
more spiny than those of the upper

which cause harm to most trees. Deer

christ's Birthplace.

According to an article, by Paul
Carus in The Open Court, Chicago. the
apocryphal gospels tell a somewhat
different story of Christ's birth from
the canonical books. According to the
former, Christ was born in a cave and
thence transferred to stable, where
the OK and ass worshiped him, while,
according to the canorical gospels,
the Nativity takes place in stable.
The apocryphal legends proved so
strong that in spite Of the canonical
version OF the story, cave near Beth
lehem came to be finally regarded as
the place of the Nativity, and a
church was erected on the spot to
commemorate the event and still
stands as lasting monument of this
belief
