a gracious cline, which testify with
subtlety to the depth of the appeal of
the birth of Christ. Here divinely
spiritual symbolism and there sweet
human tenderness and pathos appear,
and, blended, they evidence the worlds
belief that this was both Son of Man
and Son of God.
An Irish legend tells that, on Christ
mas eve. the Christ Child wanders out
in the darkness and cold, and the
peasants still put lighted candles in
their windows to guide the sacred lit
tie feet, that they may not stumble on
their way to their homes. And in
Hungary the people go yet further in
their tenderness for the Child, they
spread feasts and leave their doors
open that He may enter at His will,
while throughout Christendom there is
belief that no evil can touch any
child who is born on Christmas eve.
The legend which tells how the very
hay which lined the manger in which
the Holy Babe was laid put forth liv-
ing red blossoms at midwinter at the
touch of the Babes body could only
have arisen from belief in the renewal
of life through the Lord of Life.

&TS T is not so many centuries
ago since there was that holy
l. thorn at Glastonbury which
blossomed every Christmas, and, so
ran the legend, had done ever since
St Joseph of Arimathea, having come
as apostle to Britain, and landing at
Glastonbury, had stuck his staff of dry
hawthorn into the soil, commanding it
to put forth leaves and blossoms This
the staff straightway did, and thereby
was the king converted to the Chris
tian faith the faith which preached
life from death.
The holy thorn of Glastonbury flour
ished during the centuries until the
civil wars. During those 1t was up
rooted; but several persons had had
trees growing from cuttings from the
original tree and those continued to
bloom at the Christ-season, just as
their parent, " hich had grown from
St Joseph's staff, had bloomed. And
about the middle of the 18th century
it 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 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
other story of mems weak, supersti-
tious minds? True, perhaps; but they
are better who evidence some spiritual
weakness than those who wallow in
the wholly material, and when we
cease to be careful of the cup and the
platter, we become not over careful of
their contents.

A 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.
1t 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 To- 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 its snowy petals

spread petals are like happy limo.
