 people to gather about it in their own homes, where 1t should shelter nothing
 but loving gifts.
 On Christmas eve we illuminate the
 tree with many flickering candles-un- less we prefer safety to sentiment, when we make use of the electric lighted devices. One mayt choose
 among several picturesque accounts
 of the origin of this practice. In me dieval times when the forests seemed
 peopled with none but sacred trees,
 there was a tradition of particular holiness being invested in an illumi- mated tree. Then the ancient Jews
 held Feast of Light about Christmas time in which candles were an impor- tant feature, so that their use may oddly enough have been thus adopted
 by the Christians. The huge Yule candle signified the coming of the light into the world. The most beautiful idea is that our use of candles is de- rived from the fact that probably when Christ was born twinkling lights were burning in every house.
 The holly and mistletoe indispens- able for holiday decoration were orig inally identified with pagan festivals. There is a tradition that holly is the bush in which Jehovah appeared to Moses. The mistletoe was an object of great veneration to the Druids. al- though only when 1t grew upon an oak tree. The propriety of kissing under the mistletoe is a relic of an old Scandinavian myth. It seems that Balder, the Apollo of the North, was hated by one Loki because "every- | thing that springs from fire, air, earth and water" had given promise not to | hurt the former handsome gentleman. | Whoever it was had thus coerced all | things of the earth and sea, had some | how neglected to mention the matter to the insignificant mistletoe. So LOki straightway made an arrow of | mistletoe, and being an unprincipled chap induced blind Holder to shoot Balder. Little good it did him. how ever, for the gods restored Balder to

life at once and presented the mistle-
 toe to the Goddess of Love to keep.
 Everyone who passed under it received
 kiss to show that it was the emblem
 of love, and not death. The popularity
 of mistletoe was unabated for centu-
 ries, but one old writer says: "Mistle-
 toe was abandoned In the Christmas decking of churches together with
 kissing at the services. because both
 were found to set the young ladies and young gentlemen a-reading of'the mar riage service"
 And dear old Santa Claus. or Saint Nicholas, or Kris Kringle, as' you pre- fer-what delightful myths from an. tiquity have presented him with his reindeers and his whiskers and pack of toys! The Scandinavian legend re- lates the coming of Odin, the winter god. who visited earth at the tiuB of the Winter Solstice or Feast. Odin rode a white horse and preceded by wolves and ravens was supposed to lead an army of souls that had died during the year. As Christianity tri- umphed it was only over the unbap- tized that he was thought to have power. and his army came to be com posed only of the souls of children to whom he became a friend. Eventually he was said to bring the toys and gifts to the children on earth. We are sat isfied now to tell the children that he comes down the chimney with his pack of gifts and disappears without being beheld by mortal eye Tn a little Mo ravian village in Emaus. Pennsylvania. which is the only place in this country where the custom is thus observed, S. or Peltznickel. is yearly im- personated by some vfllager, and visits every household on Christmas eve to distribute gifts.
 The mince pie is a survival of the immense pies that the early Christians used to make in the form of a cradle pr manager. After several centuries he pies were made smaller in size. put were still made to carry out the dea of the manager, in a sort of coffin shape.

GSSyg had their birth with the
 E first of the greatest festi- vals of Christendom. The Christmas tree, the gift giving. the candles, the holly and the mistletoe have become so identified with our celebration of Christmas that they seem as inherent and peculiar to it as the radiant points to the Star of the Nativity. And yet it is to antiquity and heathendom that we owe the customs we observe, the stock phrases We utter and even the mince pie, without which no Christ mas dinner is complete The Ger mans, the Scandinavians. the Jews, the Romans, the Goths and the Saxons have all contributed to make our Christian festival
 Merry Christmas," It is on our lips from the stroke of twelve that ends the vigil of Christmas eve until the last candle has burned out on Christmas night If we think of it at all we accept merry" as meaning lively, sprightly and gleesome and wonder a bit perhaps at it's preference. As a matter of fact when the English first used the old Saxon word in this connection. spelling it "merrie." it meant simply pleasant and agreeable. but we cling to it in spite of its changed character.
 The day before Christmas we bring into the house a great fir tree that is made the center of the festivities. It Is an old German legend that has pro- vided us with this pretty custom. Saint Wilfrid. the tale runs, was one day cutting down one of the sacred oaks of the Druids Presently a great wind seized it and 1t fell. split in four pieces. Behind it Saint Wilfrid saw young fir tree standing staunch and unharmed. pointing a green spire to the heavens.

The refusal Of the Pope TO grant an

the Protestant Episcopal diocese of
Maryland, during his recent visit tc
Rome. as told in cable dispatches is the
universal topic among both the clergy
and laity OF the Episcopal Church

patch from Baltimore is quoted as say
ing that he had given Bishop Paret let
ters 10 Cardinal Merry del Val recon-
mending an audience with the Pope.
7 gave the letters to Bishop Paret. "
said the Cardinal, and recommended 10
Cardinal Merry del Val that an audi
ence be granted the Bishop. Just what
the result is I do not know" Further
than this the Cardinal would make no
statement.
According to a cable dispatch from
Rome. Bishop Paret went 10 the Vatican
with a cordial letter Of introduction 70
Cardinal Merry del Val The letter was
sent TO the cardinal in the usual formal
manner. with a note stating that the
bishop would esteem II an honor TO be
granted an audience with the Pope The

the astonished Episcopal dignitary read
the following words:
His holiness is neither picture nor a
statue to be inspected and criticised, "

out Of the question.
