80 ~aA$s liefs, like blossoms in
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
a 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 Manager 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.

EEN32 Tradition declares that

there was another one
Of wood, and that the stone cradle in
the Chapel Of the Nativity is, indeed
the outer manager. Splendid is that
humble stone trough now with white
marble, softly rich with costly dra-
peries, and radiant with silver star,
which Is surrounded by 16 lamps, ever

wooden manger at Rome, held to be
the veritable manger in which the
Christ-child lay. 1t was removed to
Rome in the seventh century, during
the Mohammedan invasion Of the Holy
Land, and there 1t is preserved in q
strong brazen chest, from which it Is
brought forth on Christmas days,
when it is placed on the Grand Altar
1t is mounted UPON a stand Of silver,
which is inlaid with gold and gems,
and the shrine in which it rests is Of
purest rock crystal. In the days In
which this was accomplished men,
whatsoever may have been their
shortcomings in other directions, gave

NaSY RADITION says that the
hour Of the Babes birth
was the hour of midnight,
and legend adds that from then until
dawn cocks crow. In Ireland it is
held that whose looks into mirror on
this eve will see the devil or Judas
Iscariot looking over his shoulder,
surely thought sufficient to drive the
hardest soul to thought of the inno-
cent Babe.
Another legend tells that, on Christ
mas eve, Judas Iscariot is released
from that hell-"his own place"-and
is allowed to return to earth that he
may cool himself in icy waters.
Wild and improbable although such
and such legends appear on their
faces, they bear study and repay it,
for we then see that they are full of
subtle spiritual expression, as it were;
that they are parallels of certain spir-
itual facts, and it will be ill for us
should the Christmas day ever dawn
on which such flowers of tender faith
and wonder shall appear to us no
more than dry curious specimens from
the dead roots Of superstition.

A NeW-England View

Gov. Baldwin of Connecticut, who be
came famous through the medium of an
acrimonious political controversy last
fall with Col. Roosevelt, has put himself
on record as opposed to noisy Sabbaths.
Sunday, he holds, is day for rest and
tor the church. The Connecticut legisla-
ture is now considering Sunday observ-
ance laws and the Governor declares that
the subject should be treated with these
three propositions as fundamental. -
First-Sunday to a large part of our
population, is, and has been for centuries,
primarily day of rest and religious OBJ
servation No change in the law ought
to be made to disturb seriously either the
rest of these people or the desire on their
part for the maintaining of such religious
observance.
Second Psychologists agree that one
day in about a week ought to be given
to entire rest or a change Of occupation.
Viewed simply, therefore, as a means of
securing mental. moral and physical
health, Sunday ought to be kept as day
OF rest and repair.
Third-It is perhaps corollary from
these positions 70 say that Sunday ought
to be kept as quiet day. l am not in
favor offacilitating noisy games. Health
full exercise on Sunday is as good as it is
on any other day, so long as it does not
violate the principles above laid down.
People ought not to be forced to 60 to
church on Sunday. but neither should
they be disturbed while there or coming
and going.

Apple Crop Will Be Small

Vermont's snug little garden spots Isle
La Motto and Grand Isle, are willing and
scorching under the rays of the sun, ac-
cording to ex-Lieut. Gov. N. w. Fisk,
who was in Burlington Thursday.
The apple crop this fall, Mr.. Fisk says,
dryness has worked much harm to the
apple trees; also to the hay. That the
apple crop should be small one is consid-
cred deplorable because of the fact thaC
this season the farmers worked more and
spent more money on the orchards than
ever before. New scientific methods
were used, ground was fertlized and
and much spraying done, but nature, in
the form of droughts and heat, has ap-
parently succeeded in overcoming these
efforts.
"The hay crop )" says Mr.. Fisk. twill
he unusually poor. The grass has ac-
tually curled UP and is dry and wilted'
The farmers here now are harvesting the
crop as fast as they can, and are making
the best of rather bad situation
There will be apples in Isle La Motto
and Grand Isle though, but the price will
probably be higher. Mr.. Fisk does not
believe in the sin and off years. systems
often referred to orchards, but declares
that nowadays the out put of orchards
under normal conditions is about the
same each year. Zone crop of trees will
bear this year and another group will
bear next year." he said.
This means that the haphazard way of
running apple orchards is thing of the
past in Vermont.

Slavery In Old Greece.

The Greeks were slave owners with
q vengeance. All manual work was
done by "barbarians." as the Greeks
called those who had been captured In
war. The greatest Of the Greeks saw
no evil in the institution. Aristotle Is
quite outspoken in his justification Of
slavery. A certain amount of mean
work had to be done. he claimed. and
"mean natured men" were intended to
do it. The slaves in some Of the Greek
states outnumbered the freemen four
or FIVE to one Manual labor came In
Greece to be thought degradation,
suited only for beings who could not
do the higher work. Even freemen
who worked for wages were by Aris-
totle placed outside the constitution.
And what was true Of the Greeks was
equally true Of most OF the other an
cient nations.-Excbange-
