ERHAPS the most remarkable of ( all celebration in honor of St

The boy bishop conducted service in the church. and in some cases he and his companions went about from house to house singing and collecting money. which they did not ask as gift, but demanded as a right
 The boy bishop attained his fullness of dignity at Salisbury cathedral. though he was known all over Eng land. There he was chosen from among the choir boys, the rest forming his retnue, and he ruled with the high est pomp and most absolute authority. He is said to have conducted all the services of the church except the mass. In some other places the boy bishop is said to have celebrated the mass itself. If any prebend fell vacant in his term of office he filled it, and if he died before his term expired he was buried with all the honors due to a genuine bishop. There is record of a boy bishop at Salisbury filling a vacant prebend { by the appointment of his schoolmaster, and there is in the ca thedral there the tomb of one who died while holding his office. On the top of 1t is an effigy of the child in full episcopal robes.
 Such masquerading plays as this were not then deemed offensive or derogatory to the dignity of the church. In fact much coarser and more un- couth exhibitions were freely permitted on some occasions, even to the extent of burlesques of the services of the church within its own walls. Of course the evil and discreditable side was bound to be seen in time, and the func- tions of the boy bishop were at last forbidden by Henry VIII. They were restored, however. for time by Mary. st. Nicholas.

the Day
 Anciiently and Now

On Christmas eve the bells were rung;
 On Christmas eve the mass was sung.
 That only night in all the year
 Saw the stoled priest the chalice rear.
 The damsel donned her kirtle sheen;
 The hall was dressed with holly green.
 Forth to the wood did merry men go
 To gather in the mistletoe.
 Then opened wide the baron's hall
 To vassal, tenant, serf and all.
 Power laid his rod of rule aside.
 And Ceremony doffed his pride.
 The heir. with roses in his shoes,
 That night might village partner choose. ~O sang Sir Walter Scott of the
 glories of Christmas eve and of X Christmas itself. And the world
 yields to him the palm for the best practical description of the sea- sons dear delights.
 Christmas with US is a day of giving and receiving. of good cheer and good feeling, and essentially it is one of re- ligious significance. Hence it will sound strange to many to be told that a number of our Christmas customs come down to us from pagan times. Yet such is the fact. Traces of some heather rites are found in England as well as here, and the cause of their survival lies deeper than theology. When the mother country, so called. was converted to Christianity the priests found her people welded to many old customs. Not all of these were what they would have had them, but they had practical work to per form and went at it in practical way. The more revolting of these customs they properly uprooted altogether; the better of them they preserved, only in. grating the rites of the church upon them.
 Thus 1t came about that festivities which had their origin in the old Ro- man Saturnalia and had come into use among the druids survived in the grim mythology of the saxons and are a portion of our inheritance today. Conspicuous among these are the burn- ing of the Yule log and the hanging of the mistletoe bough.
 Among all peoples who celebrate the day at all 1t has always been day for eating and drinking. for singing and dancing and merriment of all kinds. h. deed. this has been the criticism of the church against the manner of observ- ance-that its spiritual meaning was too often forgotten in the general tide of worldly cheer.
 In England its observance is univer sal The chrorflclers tell us that in Cheshire no servants would work on this day. even though their failure to do so resulted in their discharge. The richest families were compelled either to do their own cooking on Christmas or eat what had been prepared beforehand, while dancing and merriment reigned.
 And the games that were played number nearly legion, the most of them. though. on Christmas eve. Run-
