THREE CHRISTMASES A YEAR.

That Christmas comes but once a
year is not correct statement to
make in Bethlehem of the Holy Land.
1t comes three times, officially and &C.
clesiasticlly, authorized by the usages
of centuries. The first Christmas,
which falls on the 25th of December,
is celebrated by the Latins and Prot
estants. This date accords with the
calendar as reformed ty Pope Greg
DRY XIII, in 1882 A. D. The Latin or
Western Christian church is not, and
never has been known by the. name of
Roman Catholic to the natives Of eth
er Palestine, Syria or Egypt, but al
ways as the Latin" church.
But what in Europe and America is
known as the Greek Orthodox or
Russo-Greek Communion, the East
ern church has always and still is,
called "Roumee," or Roman by the
native population, as also officially by
the Ottoman government, it being the
communion recognized by the Mos
lens when they conquered the Byzan-
tine provinces. The "Roumee' or
Greek Orthodox church still adheres
to the Julian calendar adjusted by JUL
ius Caesar, 4G B. c., by which count
the 25th of December falls on our 9Th
Of January. celebrated by us as Epi-
phany and "Old Christmas" The Ar
menian church has also a different
ecclesiastical calendar, which brings
its Christmas on the 18th of January

CURIOsIT1Es ABOUT CHRISTMAS
Some Peculiar Customs Connected
With the Christian Holiday.

The celebration of Christmas as q
special festival is said to have begun
in the first century, and during the
life Of the Apostle John one tradition
of the church accredits him with in
augurating the custom.
In England the Christmas decora-
lions may remain in the churches
during the month of January, but
must all be cleared away before Feb
ruary 2, or Candlemas day.
In France 1t is common practice
to celebrate Christmas by giving an
extra ration to all domestic animals,
on tho theory that all creatures
should rejoice at this season.
In the fourth century the celebra-
ton of Christmas was fixed by the
Latin church for December rs. l.e-
fore that time it had been movable
festival like Easter.
Santa Claus was introduced into
America by the Dutch of Holland. He
is the American representative of the
German Knecht Rupert.
Among the English common people
Christmas is lucky when it falls on
Sunday and unlucky when Saturday
is the day of the Nativity.
Christmas mince pies in the seven
tenth and eighteenth centuries were
made with a coffiin-shaped crust to
represent the manger.
In Silesia there is a superstition
that boy born on Christmas day must
be brought up lawyer or he will be-
come thief.
In all the states Christmas is a leg
al holiday and in South Carolina the
two following days are also holidays.
The leaves proper to use in Christmas
decorations are those of holly, mistle-
toe, laurel and rosemary.
In Spain it is believed by the con.
mon people that the ants hold relig-
ious service on Christmas day.
In old England plum porridge was
always served with the first course of
Christmas dinner.
The custom of giving presents on
Christmas day is general throughout
the Christian world.
The Eastern church formerly OBJ.
served Christmas on January 6.

In the first place, free tuition is
given practically to all who wish to
enter the ministry. There are two
special dormitories for them in which
rooms are let to divinity students at
about a third Of the price charged
to ordinary students, Aside from this
there are the numerous fellowships
established by kindly souls for the
support of some deserving" theologi-
cal student, and, in many cases, this
Is sufficient to provide living for a
frugal man.
Embryo Henry Ward Beechers.
Under these conditions it Is not
strange that many an ambitious en-
bryo Henry Ward Beecher first studies
for his bachelor degree in college,
then his divinity deerse and rounds
1t out with a doctorate degree. This,
IN itself, takes somewhere In the
neighborhood Of ten years, depending
upon the man, and it is not surprising
that at the end of that time the stu
dent has become infused with the
stay on" germ and has developed
into the IMAM with the habit"
An additional cause for the thriv-
ing OF this species is the presence of
so many small churches in Chicago
and surrounding country that are not
large enough permanently to support
minister and which, consequently,
have these advanced theological stu
dents take charge of their congrega-
tons on the sabbath for small sal
airy. OF a Saturday may be seen
hurrying from the divinity halls many
a student, suit case and satchel il
hand. bound for his temporary charge.
for this service they ordinarily get
enough to keep them in clothing and
other necessities for the week. Be-
sides. they obtain lodging and board
over Sunday, the Sunday dinner be-
ing special affair with the officers
and deacons of the church.
Dave johnson Of Baraboo?
A story is told of one of these "men
with the habit" who is supposed to
have begun his stay at the university
in the days of the old University of
Chicago many years ago. One fall
quarter as the new students were ar
irving this relic of the past ap-
preached youthful looking arrival
and. extending his hand, remarked:
"Well. we'll, Johnson, are you COM
ing back again? Where have you been
all this time?" The other looked at
him somewhat surprised.

you have the best of me. I don't quite
remember where met you"
What? Aren't you Dave Johnson
