Keeping Christmas

There Is a better thing than tha
Observance of Christmas day. and that
ig keeping OF Christmas.
Arc you willing to forget what you
have done for other people, and to
remember what other people have done
for you; to ignore what tho world
owes you. and to think what you owe
the world: to put your, rights in the
background. and your duties in the
middle distance. and your chances to
do little more than your duty In
tho forcground; to see that your fell
low men are Just as real as you are,
and try to look behind their faces to
their hearts, hungry for joy: to own
that probably the only good rcason
for your existence is not what you
are going to get out of life, but what
you are going to give life: to close
your book of complaints against tho
management OF the universe, and look
around you for q place where you
can SOW n few seeds of happiness
are you willing to do these things even
for q day? Then you can keep Christ
mas.
Are You willing to DO These Things.
Are you willing to stoop down and
consider the needs and the desires or
little children to remember tho weak
ness and loneliness OF people who are
growing old: to stop asking how much
your friends love you. and ask your
self whether you love them enough,
to bear in mind the things that other
people lave to bear in their hearts;
to try TO understand what those who
live In the Same house with you really
want, without waiting for them to
tell you; to trim your lamp so that it
will give moro ligh. and less smoke,
| and to carry 1t In front SO that your
| shadow will fall behind you; to make
q grave for your ugly thoughts. and
q garden for your kindly feelings,
with the gate open-are you willing
TO do these things even for q day?
| Then you can keep Christmas.
| For Day and for Always.
! Arc you willing to believe that love
| Is tho strongest thing In tho world
| stronger than hate, stronger than evil,
| stronger than death---and that the
| blessed life which began In Bethlehem
| 1900 years ago Is tho image and
| brightness OF the eternal love? Then
| you can keep Christmas
| And II you keep 1t for day, why

Origin or the CHRISTMAS Tree.

A Scandinavian myth of great an

sprung from the glood- drenched soil
where two lovers had been killed by
violence. At certain nights in the
Christmas season mysterious lights were
seen flaming In its branches, that no
wind could eXtinguish.
One tale describes Martin Luther as
attempting 10 explain to his wife and
children tho beauty OF a snow COW
cred forest under the glittering star
besprlnkled sky. Suddenly an idea
sug Sested itself. He went into the gar
den, cut OF little fir tree, dragged
+ it into the nursery, put some candles
on It's branches and lighted them.
It has been explained. says another
authority, as being derived from the
ancient Egyptlan practice. or decking
houses at the time of the winter
solsttce with branches OF the date
paln,--the symbol OF life triumphant

life in the renewal OF each bountsous
year. The Egyptians regarded the
date palm as the emblem, not only of
Immortality, but also OF tho starlit
ornament.
Some OF its traditions may have been
