FAMOUS TREE THAT
 BLOOMS ON CHRISTMAS.

A very interesting group of Christ mas superstitions clusters about plant and animal life. Tradition tells us that after Joseph of Arimat thea had begged the body of our crucified Saviour and had laid itcin his own newly hewn tomb he left Palestine forever. Staf in hand, he travelled many weary months and finally reached Glaston- bury, in England. Here he planted his staff, and in the course of time 1t sent out leaves and buds. On the glad Christmas morning the buds burst into mass of exquisite bloom. Since that day of long ago the Glastonbury thorn never fails to be covered with delicate white flowers on Christmas morning. By the following day they have all disappeared
 A cutting of the Glastonbury thorn was taken to Buckinghamshire. where it became as. famous as the parent plant itself Thousands of people from near and far were wont to go to see the blossoming of the thorn on Christ. mas morning. When about the mid dle of the eighteenth century England adopted the Gregorian calendar, which brought Christmas eleven days earlier than under the older style of reckoning time, the common people were greatly dissatisfied. To their simple minds they had actually been deprived of eleven days of their mortal life. and mobs marched through the streets car rying placards bearing the inscription, Give Us Back Our Eleven Daysr That they had been wronged became a conviction when the Buckingham shire thorn failed to blossom on the new date, and when the people actual ly refused to attend church on the 25th of December the clergy in that part of England were forced to celebrate di- vine worship on both the old and the new dates. FS'
 In pagan times special deities were supposed to preside over the harvests. and the people sought in every possi- ble manner to propitiate these power ful gods. In out of the way parts of Europe the trees are still formally in- vited to the Christmas feast. Taking acceptance for granted, the remains of the Christmas dinner are spread about the roots of the fruit trees. This cere- mony is supposed to insure plentiful harvests the following autumn. In oth- CT places the trees were in olden times beaten with clubs to make them more productive.

@ HRISTAIAS is lived thousand "A times before it comes. The N Christmas sweets are tasted be-
 fore they are taken from the tree. The Christmas presents are rev eled in before Santa Claus puts them on his sled. The human spirit. impa-. tient under the restraints of the clock. breaks away and lives Christmas be fore the proSaic almanac gunts per mission. How poor the world would be if deprived of the p.easure of expec- tation. Good things would lose half their virtue if We could not enjoy them before we get them into our hands. Looking forward is one of the foun- tains at which we drink life nnd vigor. Imagine. If you can, dropping into Christmas in the twinkling of an eye. without the privilege of tasting 1t in udvance! Christmas becomes the great, day of the year, because it Is preceded by such elaborate and long drawn and loving preparation. To cut off all that preceded Christmas would be like shearing the sun of its beams. The whole year becomes brighter to every body who has Christmas to look for ward to.
 It is part of the mission of the Chris. tian religion to foster and develop the spirit of anticipation. Hope, says Rus kin. is the distinguishing characteristic of the Christian faith. Christianity keeps us on the tiptoe of expectancy. It entices us to look ahead. It will not permit us to consider present situations final. No matter how high we climb. we are directed to still loftier height. However great our joy, there is still sweeter blessedness ahead of us. Sat isfaction with present attachments is forbidden because of the mightier achievements within the compass of our developing powers. It was the habit of Jesus to keep his disciples eyes on the future. When they were amazed by what they saw he thrilled them by saying, "Ye shall see greater things than these.g When they were astounded by his miracles he assured them, Greater things than these shall ye do." When they exulted in their successes he reminded them of their relationship to world whose glories man cannot now Conceive. He him. self had the heart of a child. He was always looking ahead. When he saw dark things immediately in front of him he looked farther He always looked through the darkness into light. He never spoke of his death without referring to what would happen on the third day. For the joy that was set before him he endured the agony of the cross. ''The Joy of Looking Ahead" by Charles E.
