the original of them all, goes way
back to the remote third century
His present name, Santa Claus, OIL
Kriss Kringle, is derived from st
Nicholas, the very incarnation of al
that was good and generous.
st. Nicholas, destined to be wor
shipped in various forms by the chill
dren of scores of centuries, was born
in Patara, town of Lycia, in Asia
Minor. From his earliest days he
showed a religious inclination that
destined him to take high place in
the church.
AS young man he entered the
monastery of Sion, and in time he be-
came abbot and later bishop of Myra.
His sanctity and learning made him
shine even in the most illustrious
company, and he was one of the most
notable figures at that wonderful gath
ering of 31S bishops, who met at MEGA
in 31S to condemn the heresy of Arius.
While St. Nicholas became famous
In the councils of the church, it was
still more as the special friend of the
children that his fame spread.
One of his eraliest miracles, it Is
related had to do with restoring to
life two or three children.
There are two accounts of the story
One says that an Asian sent his two
sons to Athens to study. En- route
they fell in with villainous innkeep-

the two boys, and cut their bodies in.

rel to sell for pork. Then st. Nicholas
having seen the crime in vision,
came to the spot, and restored the
children to life.
The other version says there were
three children, and that their would.
be murderer was a butcher
In either case, st. Nicholas per.
formed the miracle of restoring them
to life.
This was the first act by which st.
Nicholas proved his love for children.
The second bore still more strongly
on the Santa Claus idea, for it was a
favor that he did at Christmas time.
A certain nobleman of Patara was
so poor that he was unable to give a
portion for his three daughters. and IL
seemed impossible that any of the trio
could get husband. st. Nicholas
learning of their plight, came at
Christmas time and threw a purse
filled with gold into an open window.
The act was done as stealthily as that
of the modern Santa Claus; the noble.
man could not tell who his benefactor
was, but he gave thanks and married
off the eldest daughter.
Next Christmas came another purse,
and the second daughter took a hus.
band.
When the Christmas of the third
yeas approached, the noblemans curl
osity got the better of him, and he set
himself on guard to see who it was
that left the money. When the saint
appeared, the nobleman came forward
and asked why so good an act should
be performed In stealth. Then the
patron saint of the children enunci.

world in one night, without missing
one house In which lives a deserving
child.
He Is different in every country,
ranging in years from the beautiful
Christ child that the good children of
France adore, to the jolly old fellow
to whom the American youngster
vows allegiance.
But it Is not in this sense that the
writer means to depict Santa Claus as
both young and old. 1t is from his
torical standpoint that the comparison
is made. Santa Claus, as we know
him in this country, is less than
century old. but the real Santa Claus,

ated the great truth that the best acts
are those that are done for the joy
of doing, not the hope of praise.
Thus centuries ago was proclaimed
what is the best sentiment of Christ
mas giving. The idea of st, Nicholas
was so beautiful that it took its place
among the great beliefs of the chill
dren, and in different forms it is
found nearly every century.
Both his name and his form differ,
but everywhere his labor is the same.
In France, Germany, Russia and the
Netherlands he is the embodiment OF
an essentially religious idea, but in
England and the United States his of,
flee is more a secular one.

Christmas in
Bethlehem
How the Glad Holiday Is
Celebrated in Christ's
Natal Town.

The little city of Bethlehem is set
upon a hill which is crowned by the
Hhurch of the Nativity, writes Marion
Harland. The Grotto, which all sects
of believers have agreed upon as the
birthplace of our Lord, is directly un-
der the church and entirely dependent
for light upon artificial means. A sill
yer star Is let into the pavement of a
semi-circular niche, above which is an
altar adorned with the usual churchly
symbols. BY the light of Is colored
lamps suspended under the altar we
read the inscription in Latin:
Here Jesus Christ Was Born
of the Virgin Mary"
The long line of pilgrims Frustrated
themselves, one by one, and kissed the
star, some with dropping tears-all,
silently-solemnized beyond the range
OF speech. 1t did not add to our sol.
emnity to be shown the manger, deco.

occasional glimpses of the rough stone
walls and roof of the ancient stable,
visible here and there between the
gaudy decorations. -..
The service of Christmas Eve be-
gan at half-past ten at night and con-
clnded at half-past two in the morn
Ing At midnight lullaby from the
organ preluded the supreme moment
of the occasion-the sudden folding

and choir in magnificent Gloria In
Excelsis accompanied the stately pro-
cessional of the entire staff of priests
and acolytes, chanting and swinging
censers while they bore up one aisle
and down another, back to the high
altar, the same doll, dressed in cam
brio and lace, and nesting in the en-
brace of the richly appareled bishop.
