Is taken into consideration by some persons The
young man, probably. was sorry for the abrupt
termination of his friendship with the young lady,
but perhaps it for the best That was his
version Of 1t, anyhow.
Most English speaking nations celebrate Christ
mastide just Americans do but each has its
little selfmade variation. In Italy they celebrate
with a grand dance, rule, and they take great
pains to be attired in gaudy raiment. The Danish
are very deliberate about their Christmas festlv1-
ties and great fetes and gifts the order of the
day. The Swiss fervent in their worship of
the Saviour that day and the little children
dressed for gala affairs parade the streets in or
der that their parents may look at them and com
pare them with the kids next door.
Many persons who have read much history and
who have been able to persuade themselves that
the present century is all wrong as to the date
of the birth of Christ skeptical as to whether
we should observe the sacred day when we do.
Estimates to when Christ was born extend
clear from June TO January 20.
Prior to the fourth century Christmas was not
observed on December 25, for there period
of uniformity in observing the day among the
early churches The skeptica persons who have
studied the thing from end to end say that on
December % 1t 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 focks when 1t
was raining? is the argument of the unbelieyers
that December 25 is the correct day of feast.
One person who is not skeptcal 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 the calendars
have been changed much that the original
December 25 If hunted down. would be found
flirting with May l. OF course the correct day
upon which to worship has much to do with the
feeling of Christians in the matter, but at the
same time, If the event is properly observed the
time of observance is but detail.
Many good churchmen who seldom attend
church on Sundays find Christmas an excellent
day to attend church because IL only falls on Sun

national distributor of gifts.
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 holt
day which should be devoted to worship
of Jesus Christ, it is a day which is
looked forward to by merchants as
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 emitting some of their friends. Some
make it a rule, and advertise it well,
that they have decided to confne 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 off the names OF
the friends who have eliminated them
