ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS TREE

There are many legendary ac-
counts, n of the most popular in
Germany being that Martin Luther,
returning home one starl1t Christ
eve, conceived the idea of
bringing in a fir tree and covering
it with lights to represent the
beauty of the heavens as he had
seen it. The tree as a regular in
stitution seems to have had a place
in Germany in the sixteenth century.
Two old Strassburg manuscripts still
preserved, n written in 1908, de-
scribes the tree al a feature of Christ
mas, but for more than two centuries
it seems to have been confined to u
small region along the Rhine. Abou,
the beginning of the 18th century
the Christmas tree suddenly spread
owe Germany, becoming established
in all Christian lands within the next
SO years. 1t is said to have been In
troduced into Munich in 1880 by
Queen Caroline; and it reached Hun
gary about the same time. Paris be-
came acquainted with it in 1910
through the Duchess Helena of Or
leans, who brought it to the TuiIer-
les. Parisians now use more than
$4,000 trees annually, ana, as the
French gift season is New Years
day, the trees are bought with roots
and planted in tubs, so as to keep
until time for their loads to be dis
tributed. The marriage OF Queen
Victoria to a German prince is saiG
to have introduced the Christina,
tree custom into England, although
some trees had been known before
1910. The German Immigrants
brought the customs to America.

SPIRIT OF SERVICE AROUSED
Magnificent Demonstration Witnessed
in Boise on Christmas Day

In Boise on Christmas day a great
dinner was given to homeless, needy
men. This dinner was under the
auspices of the Salvation Army, but
a committee of the men and religion
movement was activeIy engaged in
the work of carrying It through. The
army had SO much to do that it
seemed probable the proposed dinner
would have to be dropped. When the
executive committee of the movement
was advised of this it at once took
hold and made the necessary provis-
ion for carrying out the undertake
ing.
1t was, perhaps, the first time III
which Christian men OF other denom-
nations and Christian women of 9TH
er denominations have actively par
ticipated in such Christian work side
by side with the uniformed soldiers
of. the great organization projected
by Gen. Booth. 1t was a work of SER
vice that shows the spirit of service
has been deeply aroused in the cap
ital city. Moreover, it indicates that
the plan of the man and religion
movement to bring about increased
service in all fields Is to be realized.
Promising Sign of the Times
One of the very interesting results
that are shown from the S-day cam.
paign of the men and religion move
ment in various cities is the organ.
izing of what are designated in some
places at least, as inter-church coun-
ellis. These are organizations in the
nature of declarations for the purpose
of continued organized, united work
of the kind that is being conducted
by the movement. The people in all
the cities realize that great good has
been done and they desire to have
the work go on in the same spirit
and by somewhat similar methods.
This plan for maintenance of the
spirit of unity in church work, social
service and other similar activities,
is one of the very promising signs
of the times.
Endorsed BY All Sects.
The men and religion movement, as
shown by it's program, and as ex.
planned by those who speak for it,
knows no denomination. 1t is not
antagonizing any Christian sect of
any character, but, on the contrary,
the work it is doing is designated
to deepen the Christian spirit of
of every denomination. In view
of this platform upon which the
movement stands, it is interesting
to find that Catholic authorities and
leaders among the Jews are giving
public recognition to ,nis movement
as something that all can approve be-
cause of the character of its work.
While there may have been some dis
position to antagonize it, that seems
to be rapidly disappearing.

WHY WE MOUNT FROM THE LEFT

We go back to knights of old for
the reason why we mount a horse
from the left side. Those gallant
knights wore a sword on that side,
W which made it inconvenient If not
impossible to mount from the other
side; so it was chosen as, necessity,
and such practice is almost universal
in the service.

Fate Of Portuaal's Homer.

.sThe Lusiad' Is one Of the noblest
records ever written of national glory
and success. Camoens, its gifted au-
thor, determined to do for Portugal
what Homer had done for Greece. The
great poem was written in the six
teenth century, which has been called
the heroic age of Portugal. and its
main feature Is the rounding of the
Cape Of Good Hope by vasco da Cana.

Its author was born about 1920, and
his career, which began brilliantly,
was blighted by tho death Of a broken

sake he was banisbed from the land.
He wrote 1.-THE Lusiad' in his Danish
