THE FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE.

In country far away across tho
ocean the people used TO be heather,
and thought they were pleasing their
god. Thor. when they gave him one
OF their best and most beautiful BOYS
each year on q certain night.
There was u hill with long. gontIo
slopes. on which stood large and
tough oak, which had stood many
storms and was sacred to Thor.
On one night a crowd of hcathen
soldiers dressed in white came I'm tho
nil. followed by other people to sec
q boy killed. Tho priest had n ham.
mcr In his hand, and he stood by an
altar which was beside the oak and a
boy was knecling by him.
Just as the hammer was falling 10
mt the boy. the holy man, Saint Boni-
face, came UP. turned the hammer
aside with his cross. thus saving the
boy he then turned to the crowd
and told them Of Jesus, who doesn't
want them to sacrifice human life.
Then he knocked the oak down With
tho hammer.
There was FIR tree just behind the
oak which pointed toward heaven.
Saint Bonifacc told them to take It up
and carry 1t to the chlcfta,n.a hall.
and not to go Into the forest to keen
their fnsts.
This was the first Christmas tree.

THE LEGEND Or THE CHRISTMAS
TREE.

There was once beautiful hill III a
far of county on whose sides was a
great md mighty oak tree. This tree
stood through many great and terrible
storms. This oak was sacred TO the
great heather god, Thor.
1t was custom among those heath
ems that every year they should offer
up one Of their prctticst boys Now.
at this time, they had brought a fine
looking lad. and were getting ready
10 Kill him. There YVES great fire
in front OF the altar, which stood near
the tree. The great hammer was lifted
high above the child's head. The
priest who held the hammer was lust
ready to let it fall,whc an old man.
who was known as Saint Boniracc,
came forward. This man turned aside
the great hammer as II fell and the
boy was saved. Saint Boniface then
made speech, telling them that they
should no longer make human sacrifice;
that this night was the birthnight of
Christ. He then struck the oalt
mighty blows. and 1t fell with Il great
crash.
Not far from the spot where the oak
stood was a little fir tree Saint Eon-
ifacc cut this down and gnvo il to
no longer go to their heather god, but
worship Christ, the right and living
God iIa told them that the little ar
tree should be Chriatmas tree, and
that they should not so 10 the forest
to celebrate their fcasts, but take tho
tree TO their homes and public halls
