served of old in honor of Saturn or
Bacchus.
The Roman Saturnalia, which &C.
CURED In the winter solstice, were q
season Of great festivity and rejoicing,
honored by many privileges and ex-
emptions. The spirit of gaiety had
free charter, and even quarrels were
suspended, to be resumed after the
holidays.
As a manifestation Of the gratitude
felt at the renewed prospects of the
returning march Of the sun, gifts were
exchanged and special hymns were
sung. These latter were really the
Roman representatives Of the modern
carol.
At the Saturnalta the Roman feast
ed, sang and danced, as we do at
Christmas. A ruler or king was ap.
pointed. who enjoyed certain preroga.
tives. He presided over the sports OF
the season. Probably he is the an.
cestor of the lord of misrule, who ex.
ercised q similar power in more re.
cent times.
Merriment was q matter of general
concern. and the joyous spirit of en-

whole world kin, and 1t is pleasant
reminder that, after all, history re-

ran the legend, had done ever since
St. Joseph Of Arimathea, having como
as apostle to Britain, and, landing at
Glastonbury, had stuck his staff Of dry
hawthorn into the soil, commanding Il
to put forth leaves and blossoms. This
the staff straightway did, and thereby.
was the king converted to the Chris
tan faith, the faith which preached
life from death.
The holy thorn Of Glastonbury -four
ished during the centuries until tho
civil wars. During those 1t was up
rooted: but several persons had had
trees growing from cuttings from tho
original tree, and those continued to
bloom at the Christ-season. just az
their parent, which had grown from
st. Joseph's staff, had bloomed. And
about the middle Of the 18th century
1t was recorded in the Gentleman's
Magazine how the famous holy thorn
would not deign to recognize the new
style calendar, which had then come
into force but would persist in bios
soming as of old on old Christmas
day!
In those days the anniversary Of the
advent of the Babe had certainly
meant more to the common people
than merely a time for feasting and
revelry, for giving and receiving: It
had been also a season for holy OBJ
servances, for they refused to go to
church on New Christmas day. the
holy thorn not being then in blossom.
So serious became the trouble that the
clergy found it prudent to announce
that Old Christmas day should also
be kept sacred as before. Only an.

tious minds? True. perhaps; but they
are better who evidence some spiritual
weakness than those who wallow in

cease to be careful of the cup and the

their contents.

MOTHER Of those spiritual

IN parallels is the legend of
the Christmas rose. and It
tells how good things. fit for giving,
spring up ready to the hand which
earnestly desires to give to the Child.
It is said that a certain maiden of
Bethlehem was SO poor that she had
nothing to give to the Babe to whom
kings brought wealth from afar, and,
as she stood, longing and mourning.
and angel appeared to her, saying:
Look at thy feet, beneath the snow"
and 10! on obeying the maiden found
that a new flower had miraculously
sprung up and blossomed at her needs.
Every since then, runs this story. this
exquisite flower, with it's snowy petals
just touched by suggestions Of pinkish
bloom, is to be found at this season;
and. indeed, it's half-opened cups are
like chalices Of love, and its fully.
spread petals are like a happy limo

Babe Of spotless innocence. whose
