Many persons who have read much history and
who have been able to persuade themselves that
the present century Is all wrong to the date
Of the birth Of Christ are skeptical to whether
we should observe the sacred day when do.
Estimates to when Christ born extend
clear from June to January 26.
Prior to the fourth century Christmas was not
observed on December 25, for there no period
of uniformity in observing the day among the
early churches. The skeptical persons who have
studied the thing from end to end say that on
December 25 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 hocks when it
was raining? is the argument Of the unbelievers
that December Is is the correct day Of feast.
One person who is not skeptical declared that
perhaps they didn't have sense enough to come in
out Of the rain in those days. But Of course that
is no argument. The chances are the calendars

to receive and send presents to their friends and
others who are not friends. In countries ruled
by absolute monarchies. the rulers are sometimes
afraid to open their gift receptaces for the rea-
son that oftentimes reasonable persons inclose

course such undesirable persons do not have any
more Christmases to celebrate affairs being ar

While the Christmas idea is practically the

A Frenchman told clever little story at
Christmas banquet in Paris year ago. which ran
along that line He was enamoured with .
beautiful young lady whose home was on Rue de
Boulevarde. She was of artistic taste SO he stud
led her desire in painting creations for three
weeks before Christmas. At last he came to the
conclusion that probably an oil painting by
noted French artist might please her. He took
special pains to hunt out a store where ne mlgnt
procure one. He did and put several weeks
salary into the gift.
He had it delivered Christhlas morning and re-
ceived a cordial note of tha4ks from the young
lady. who unfortunately had not thought to pur-
chase anything for him. This, of course, was EN-
barrassing to both parties, but that evening wnhe

There are many concerns in Ger
many, England and France which con-
fine themselves exclusively to the manu-
facture of gifts such as are exchanged
only during the celebration Of the
birth Of Christ. Besides being a holi-
day which should be devoted to worship
of Jesus Christ, ii is a day which Is
looked forward to by merchants as a
big source of profit.
In other countries as in America,
there are many small Christmas TRACE
dies enacted because of the dislike
which some folks take to gifts and be-
cause Of the thoughtlessness of others
in omitting some of their friends. Some
make 1t rule, and advertise 1t well,
that they have decided to confine gifts
to the immediate family circle, SO that
none will take offense If they receive
no gifts from their hitherto cherished
friends. OF course the ones who are
notified of the change in the routine
are careful to scratch of the names OF
the friends who have eliminated them
SO that when Christmas comes there is
no needless embarrassment.
