FlREMEN WIN EASILY.
Defeat Edwards BY Score of Eleven to
Four in Eight Innings.

The Firemen defeated the Edwards
by score of IL to in an eight inning
game in the City League series
Wednesday afternoon on the Reuel
Williams Athletic field The game did
not begin until after 6 o'clock on ac-
count of a lengthy argument in re-
gard to the proposed playing Of Mead
er in the pitchers box by the fire
men. The Edwards declared that they
would play the game under protest i!
Mcader was allowed to pitch and it
was finally decided by the members
of the board of managers present that
no change should be made in the Fire
mems team until after the meeting of
the managers tonight. ,,a4 t,,it. 1
So. Parquette went in and pitched
the game to the great discontinue OF
the opposing team, whose players are
now wondering what would have hap
pened to them had Meader pitched the
game with .Albee to catch him. Par
quettc struck out nine men and the
Edwards got but three hits off him.
The Firemen also batted heavily and
hit Thibodeau without difficulty. RAN
dali and J. Harvey did especially good
work for the winning team.
The Firemen scored two runs in the
first inning and the Edwards one in
the second. In the next two innings
the Firefnen secured five runs. Goose
eggs for both sides in the fifth and
then came Parquette's bad inning
when the Edwards got three runs, but
the Firemen spoiled their hopes OF
catching up with four TALES in the
seventh and the Edwards failed to
score in their half of the eighth The

"Yue" of "Merrie England" is the old Teu-
tonic name of the religious festival Of the win
ter solstice, during which Celt and Roman
could trace the movements of their deities as
they walked abroad in the world.
The story Christmas Tells.
The Christian religion is not merely some
thing built over the old ethnc religions the
church of st. Maria Sopra Minerva in Rome is
built over the ruins Of the old heather temple
of Minerva, the grove sacred to Adonis
planted by the order Of the Emperor Had
rian over "the cave close to the village" which
is now honored as the scene Of the Saviours
birth. 1t had a larger and deeper meaning.
Christmas tells the story Of a gradual but
complete unfolding Of the divine idea of relig-
ion as seen in the Christ Child, of its worship
and its merry-making in its at once sacred
and social feast.
The story is told simply but graphically by
two OF the four evangelists. ST. Marks gospel
begins with the baptism of the Christ, log
ically he had no need to tell the story Of his
birth and boyhood st. John wrote near the
close OF the first century. and with the domi-
nant idea of setting forth the divinity of
Christ in opposition to the prevailing gnosti-
Gilpin observer., 1909-12-16

conceptions Of the d.
vine may have been the
rude but honest efforts
of the earlier days Of the
human race to group the
idea Of a Goldman which
has been made SO real
and so full of Joy to us
in the Nativity and the
Epiphany of the Christ.
In this sense the early
church may have been
wiser than she wot Of.
Her aim was to select
the best features Of the
heather feasts and en-
body them for their puri-
fication in Christian
practices and sacred
rites and to wean the
converts from their old
superstitions to the
deeper and more real
truths Of the Christian
faith.
But In so doing she
may have been the un-
conscious instrument of
a divinely guided evolu-
tion In religious practice
and belief which has en-
nobled and enriched the
world. The symbolism
Of our Christmas to-day
certainly lends itself In
many ways to this point
OF view. In the greenery
with which we deck our
houses and churches and
in the gift-laden fir trees
which gladden. our chill
dren's hearts. we still re-
tain the symbols by
which our heather fore.
fathers signified their
faith in the power OF re.
turning sun to clothe the
earth with green and
hang new fruit on the
trees. The Christmas
carol may be a new
birth Of the hymns OF
the Saturnalia. The
holly and mistletoe
came from the Druid
