George William Sellers. the western

his Indiana estate.
Cricket is. of course. a more leis.
urely game than baseball" said Mr..
Sellers We played it on my place
in the proper leisurely manner. and
all my men seemed pleased. Our
first match was with Concord.
One of my men-his name is John

the lunch served In the marquee on
the lawn. He enjoyed. too. the meat
tea that pleasantly interrupted the
afternoons play. At each inning he
was on hand when the drinks and
cigars and sandwiches were passed
about.
During the ~open-air dinner that
wound up the first days play, I turned
to John and said:
Well. old man, what do you think
Of cricket?'
Mr.. Sellers said he. it would be
a grand game IL il wasn't for all this

Two business men had been talking

Estimate As 10 when Christ was born extend
clear from June to January 26.
Prior 10 the fourth century Christmas was not
observed on December %. for there was no period
Of uniformity in observing the day among the
early churches. The s~keptical persons who have
studied the thing from end to end say that on
December % it rained in Judea and then attention
is called to the Biblical statement that shepherds
were watching their focks when Christ was born.
Now how could they watch their foeks when it
was raining2 is the argument of the unbeIieyers
that December % is the correct day of feast.
One person who is not ~skeptical declared that
perhaps they didn't have sense enough 10 come in
out Of the rain in those days. But Of course that
is no argument. The chances are the calendars
have been changed so much that the original
December %. if hunted down, would be found
flirting with May 1. or course the correct day
upon which TO worship has much to do with the
feeling OF Christians in the matter, but at the
