OLD STORIES OF CHRISTMAS
Some Have interest. Freshness and
Beauty That Keep Them A.
ways New.

There are some so-called "old sto-
ries" that are really not old, for they
have an interest, freshness and a
beauty that keep them always new.
OF such are the story of Christmas
and all the legends and tales that be-
long to the great festival.
There is legend in Germany that
when Eve plucked the fatal apple the
leaves Of the tree Immediately shriv-
eled into needle points and its bright
green turned dark. The nature of
the tree changed and it became an
evergreen, in all seasons preaching
the story of mans fall through that
first act of disobedience. Only on
Christmas does it bloom brightly with
lights and become beautiful with love
gifts. The curse is turned into a
blessing by the coming of the Christ
child, and thus we have our Christmas
tree.
The visits of St. Nicholas to the
homes of the people on Christmas eve
as an annual custom grew out of a
festival in honor of Hertha, Morse
goddess. At this festival the house
was decorated with evergreens and an
altar Of stone was set up at the end
of the hall, where the family assem-
bled. From Hertha's stone we get our
word "hearthstone." On the stones
so set up were heaped fir branches,
which were set aflre, and through the
smoke and flame Hertha was supposed
to descend and influence the direction
OF the flames, from which were pre-
dicted the fortunes Of those present

intensest and most fervent love is

A Merry Christmas

All over the country. all over the
world-a few years hence it will be
also all through the air-sounds the
greeting Merry Christmas! On the
sea and land. in the palace and in the
howell. in the hospitals and in the pris-
ons, In the asylums amid the orphans
and In the homes for the friendless
and for the aged, wherever even two
persons meet who know and love the
story of Christmas, the greeting is ex-
changed. Where can there be par
allel to the universal greeting? Is
there any other sentiment that has
the sovereignty of this cheerful and
heartfelt word? 1t travels through
the mails like nothing so much as the
doves to the affairs of which the Scrip
ture speaks. for surely the sentiment
fits from altar to altar of the hearts
of men and Is as gentle as the dove
Grudges and animosity vanish before
the waiting of Christmas greeting, the
smile of hope illumines the counte.
nances of those under the pail Of de.
preston. the dimpled cheeks of the
babies seem like veritable hooks for
fairy hiding as the lips COO in response
to the Merry Christmas, with the little
emblem of the day that comes to the
infant from its loving parent. In the
days of romance hostile forces passed
upon the field, sheathed their swords
and clasped hands across the battle
line, greeting one another with the
sentiment Of universal good will.
Merry Christmas has frightened more
hearts. has healed more grievances.
has brought more happiness to the
lives of men and women. has proved
to be the talismanic sentiment for
more home reunions than any other
that has ever been heard in this old
world.
Christmas stands for love and for
charity, for hope and for Joy at the
fruition of that long-made promise of
the prophet of the coming of one who
should bring peace and good will to
earth; so the churches hold their serv-
ices and the people congregate to
join in singing or to listen to the rem
dition of carols, some of which have
come down from the early ages Of the
church. The children have their
Christmas treats, and they are the
very merriest of the merry in their
participation In these annual school
festivals.

Thanks for Letters,

Remember the old legend of the
brazen head with its Time is. Time
was Time is past"
Write the letters of thanks before
1t gets too. late.
The apology will be much more diff
ficult to pen than the thank YOU"
Anything that is nice enough to
accept is nice enough to be grateful
for.
How do you feel when somebody
fails to show appreciation at gift Of
your making?
1t is comfortable to at least know
that the present you have given was
received.
Don't hurry the Christmas let
ter. Take a comfortable half hour
alone, and write a letter that is a
little more than a line of perfunctory
acceptance.
&c, a little of yourself into the
thank-yoI letter. If your friend cared
for you enough to send the gift, she
will want to have little of you In
return.
Just between Christmas and New
Years day is the ideal, tY for the
reply. Never any later.f

CHRISTMAS AND MIsTLET0E
Nature Worship Reflected In Use OF
Mistietoe at Christmas
Time.

A great many years ago, before the
time of Christianity. the oak tree. and
especially the mistletoe. growing out
of the heart of the oak, were rever-
enced for their supposed affinity with
the sun. The Druids worshiped the
sun as the one supreme god, and be-
iieved the oak to be in some way as
ISOLATED with the sun because they
made fire by rubbing oak sticks to-
gether, the oak being at once the most
common tree and the most suitable
for the purpose. Twice each year
these Celtic priests gave religious
festival in honor or the sun, their
places Of worship being In the oak
groves. In June, when. the sun was
known to have ceased mounting high
er in the heavens. the Druids gave
thanks, because nearer approach OF
the sun was thought to be possible,
and this, of course. would result in the
burning up OF the earth. In Deem
her, at the time OF the shortest days.
the Druids prepared a celebration In
