FRIGHTENED BY SANTA CLAUS
How the Dear Old Saint Carried Con-

An amusing story of how Santa

told by the wife of a missionary sta
toned at Bailunda, Africa They had
celebrated Christmas at Ballundu be-
fore, but they never had had Santa
Claus, so Mr.. Slower, the missionary,
dressed up as good Saint Nick.
''He had been padded and powdered
and packed until his own mother
would not have known him." Mrs. Sto-
yer afterward related. presently we
gave the signal, the door flew open
and in walked Santa Claus. But dear
me! What CONSERVATION! He was
greeted with shrieks and groans and
cries Of Let me out! 1t is the evil
one. It is the day Of Judgment
"The urchins, catching the infection
of terror from the older black people,
fed to their bedrooms, fell down upon
their faces, crept under chairs and Ia

Poor old Santa Claus never had such
greeting before. AS soon as he real

Christian year, and how this weary
and uneasy world needs the child

is more subtly fitted to the needs of q
worn and dissipated world than the
image of all that is alive and fresh
and unstained? It is the child in men

child is the savior that answers q
smile with q smile, that responds to
the confidence with confidence, ready
to take you and me for what we would
like to be and thus lifts us nearly to
our ideal.

GIN EARLY CHRISTMAS DAYS
Quaint and Interesting Customs That
Prevailed When the Church and
Festival Were Young.

In the early days of the church, it is
carols on Christmas day among their
clergy, and around the sixteenth CEN
tnry the well-known practice observed
W children of going around the neigh
!. orhood singing Christmas carols be-
reath the windows of the houses, was
commonly observed, usually taking
place on Christmas morning. One OF
the oldest and most beautiful of the
Christmas carols that has come down
TO the present day open with these
words:
"God rest you, merry gentlemen,
Let nothing you dimay,
For Jesus Christ, our Savior,
Was born upon this day,
To save us all from Satan's power,
When we were gone astray.
o, tidings of comfort and joy!
For Jesus Christ, our Savior,
Was born on Christmas Day."
1t is sometimes more appropriate to
sing the Christmas carols on Christ
mas eve than on Christmas day, al
though they are sung at both times:
but in England the choir Of the village
church used to go around to the pr1n-
cipal houses in the parish and sing
some of these simple hymns on Christi
mas eve regularly.
