AN EXPENSIVE INSTITUTION
But Cost of Christmas Pays Big Re-
turns In Joy and Happiness Of
Children.

Christmas is very costly institu'
ton. 1t makes deep holes in millions
OF well-filled pockets. Fathers hand
reaches into his pocket more often
In the few weeks before Christmas
than during any other period of equal
extent in the whole year. And lots of
money goes for presents that, in the
hands of happy children, last a very
short time. Nightiall of Christmas
day sees many toys in mangled heaps
that bright and shining and new greet
ed the little folks as they hoped out
OF bed Christmas morning. And mil
lions and millions of things are bought
that never would be, il it were not for
Christmas. But does all this mean that
Christmas is not worth the money it
costs, that it would be better II the
world did not observe the anniversary
Of Christ's birth in the way it does?
Nobody in the whole wide Christian
part of the world will say that Christ
mas does not pay for itself, that 1t Is
not worth all 1t costs, and that 1t is
not bargain at any price. Where can
be found father and mother who
feel that they have been cheated by
Christmas, after they hear the CUR
Cling laughter of their children, in
ecstasy among their new toys, even If
there had to be skimping and saving Of
pennies to buy the little presents?-:

EARLY ROMAN CHRISTMASES
No Special Ceremonies for Christ Fig
ured More as Historic Being
Than World Savior.

The early Roman Christmas, says j.
A Symonds, probably kept Christmas
with no special ceremonies. Christ
was as yet too close to them. He had
not become the glorious creature OF
their fancy, but was partly historic
being, partly confused IN their imagi-
nation with "reminiscences of pagan
deities. AS the Good Shepherd, and as
Orpheus, we find him painted in the
Catacombs; and those who thought OF
him as God loved to dwell upon his
risen greatness more than on the idyl
of his birth To them his entry upon
earth seemed less a subject of rejoic-
ing than his opening of the heavens
They suffered and looked forward to
future happiness. They would not
seem to make this world permanent by
sharing its gladness with the heather.
Theirs, In truth, was religion of hope
and patience, not OF triumphant recol'
lection or of present happiness.

THE CHRISTMAS GOODNESS
BY Rev. George Hodges, Dean Of the
Episcopal Theological School.
Cambridge, Mass.

And on earth peace, good will toward
men.
For few weeks at least of every
year we take the Christmas lesson of
fraternity into our lives. Men and
women and little children have been
going about thinking what they could
do for others. The streets and shops
have been full of people whose arms
have been full of bundles There have
been sweet domestic conspiracies in
every household. The idea has pos
sessed the community that the right
thing to do is to make other people
happy. For little while, as the year
draws near its close, and we look
across into a new time, 1t seems as If
the old manner of living were being
put away, with all its narrowness and
pettiness and jealousy, with its self.
seeking and its vicious self-content,
and as if the dawn of the blessed
millennium were already shining upon
the submits of the mountains.
For a few weeks the Christmas
spirit animates the churches. The
kingdom of heaven comes. What we
want is to have this fraternal time
continued. What we need is Christ
mas every day. II that blessed king.
dom is ever to be established here; If
the will of God is ever to be done by
the employer and the workman, by
the landlord and the tenant; If the
present discomfort Is ever to met and
ministered to, it must be by the cul-
tivation in us Of the Christmas good
ness. We must learn the lessons of
simplicity and fraternity. We must
follow more closely the blessed foot
steps of his life who on this day for
our salvation was born at Bethlehem,
and Graded in manger.

A CHRISTMAS VISION

On Christmas eve mid all the joyous glee
That in my righteousness surrounded me,
I happened by some chance to turn mine
eye
Out through q window-wreath that hung
near by.
And as I glanced through It into the
night
7 seemed to see, III by some holy light
childish face with wistful. smiling lips
That thrilled me to my very finger-tips
Two eager hands stretched forth called
as in stress,
To me to carry help to Helpessness
And In the sad eyes of that child | saw
In all its loveliness the Christmas Law
Not a command, no everlasting Must
Upon Reluctance for its teaching thrust,
Bu, 'ust pleading hint to him who runs
That all who suffer are Gods Little Ones!
And then the picture in the wreath was
gone,
And IN It's place the Eastern star-beams
shone-
The same that nineteen centuries ago
Led on the Wise Men with their heavenly
glow:
And cen as they wandered through the
drifts
And into lowly places carried gifts
To cheer, and give release, and pay my
due
Unto my Lord through them that suffer
rue.
John Kendrck Bangs, in scribner's
Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1915-12-23

not altogether dimly, as we 60 about
touching them into fame, the shining
potency of those things they do but
symbolize--of goodness, of love, OF
spirituality, and the farreaching pow
er of these to tighten the world. 1t
cannot be but the Tinsel Star was

Christmas fair and fitting though they

candles shed their light.
Yet do not forget that the Para.

blackened candles that lay in the

Over again and once year the hui

each year, as the blessed season comes
around.
Types they are. these Christmas
candles, of our lives, so apt to fail and
of our purposes, so easily wasted, but
types also of our glowing longings, our
luminous, unconquerable hopes: nor
can it be said that we have failed so
long as we relight them, year after

ter things, and to do honor to that

General as are today both the re-
ligious and secular observance OF the
christmas festival. 1t Is barely half
century since Christmas was tabooed
In large sections of the United States
as we'll as in other countries where
the old Puritan element predominated,
says an exchange. Even as late as
the SOS all through New England
Christmas as holiday was ousted
by New Years, except in Catholic or
Episcopal families.
The old hatreds growing out Of the
wars of the Reformation, both on the
continent and in Great Britain, for
centuries practically abrogated this
annual festival wherever the Puritan
element or its posterity was the DOM
mating factor in the community. The
following from Edward Eggleston's
Transit of Civilization" will give
something of an idea of the eclipse
which darkened the joyous holiday
history of the United States:
"In 1870 the Massachusetts legisla-
ture ordained that the mere abstain.
ing from labor on December 25 should
be a penal offense. The Observance
Of Christmas was held Objectionable
not only because It afforded opportun.
ity for the playing Of games and pro,

count, for all honoring of days, times
or seasons other than the Sabbath
seemed to the fine spun Puritan mind
a masked idolatry. The strict Puritan
Sabbath first rigidly enforced in Eng
land and Scotland, was early trans
planted in New England, where its
observance was, under similar penal
ties made rs strictly compulsory as
was the nonohservance Of Christmas
One OF the old as well as the mod
ern features OF the Christmas service
was its magnificent music. But dur
ing the Puritan eclipse not only
Christmas music, but practically all
church music worthy the name, dis
appeared.
AS the religious prejudices and
hatreds, born in prosecutions, softened
with time, the Christmas festival grew
in favor even throughout the hostile
communities of both Great Britain and
America.

Robins Like Holly Berries.

The yellow-leg snipe travels mat
ter of 5000 miles to get his Christ
mas dinner. 1t is pretty nearly the
longest journey made annually by any
living creature, and the object of 1t
seems to be to procure certain dam

Scrooge was better than his word.
He did 1t all and infinitely more.
He became as good friend,
as good a master and as good man
as the good old city knew, or any 9TH
err good old city, town, or borough, In
the good old world. Some people
laughed to see the alteration in him,
but he let them laugh, and little heed
ed them; for he was wise enough to
know that nothing ever happened on
this globe, for good, at which some
people did not have their fill of laugh
ter in the outset; and knowing that
such as these would be blind anyway,
he thought it quite as well that they
should wrinkle up their eyes in grins,
as have the malady in less attractive
forms. His own heart laughed; and
that was quite enough for him. :.
And it was always said of him that he
knew how to keep Christmas well. II

edge

FRENCH CHRISTMAS OMENS
Ancient and Curious Beliefs Regarding
the miraculous Cures
for Various Ailments.

In France, particularly, superstition
dies hard. and there is probably no
other country where the people still
retain so many ancient and quaint be-
liefs in connection with Christmas
day. Several of these relate to
miraculous cures of all the ills which
flesh is heir to- For instance, the
chilly proceeding OF bathing on Christ
mas day is supposed to insure one
against both fever and toothache dur
Ing the coming year, another proven
tive of fever being the abstention from
all meat on December 25th, a great
sacrifice for the average man; while
q remedy for ulcers could be obtained
by those who refrained from eating
brunes on that day.
A cure for everything, however, can
be found in the large loaf chiefly made
in Provence, and called lie pain de
calende." It is very large and very
white, and from 1t is cut small piece,
marked with knife with three or
four crosses This Is carefully pre-
served as a remedy, and used when
required, the remainder Of the loaf
being divided among the family on the
Feast of Epiphany.
With regard to bread, It is believed
that loaves baked on Christmas eve
remain fresh for ten years, and during
the whole of the holidays portion Of
bread was left out on the table night
and day because the Madonna might
come in to share it. But unless she
wishes to bring misfortune on the en-
tire family, 1t behooves the French
housewife not to bake any bread be-
tween December 25th and the Festival
of Circumcision.
Cattle can be kept in good health
by giving them something to drink
Immediately after midnight mass on
Christmas eve before entering the
mousse And a good harvest could be
insured if the corn about to be sown
is carried to it's destination in the
cloth used for the Christmas dinner.
If you visit a fountain or a we'll on
New Years day and place in it either
an apple or a nosegay, the water will
be rendered wholesome throughout the
year. No Frenchman however, will
lend anything to anyone on January
I, for 1t is believed that by so doing
he would bring i'll luck upon himself
for the ensuing year.

HOW HE DOES IT

MT1 = COMES right down the chin
81 vr e.: ::, n, Christmas bells are
N01N When little folks are fast
asleep
And stockings all are hung
All loaded down with pretty things,
With guns and dolls and drums:
So be sure to hang your stockings
Where he'll see EN- when he comes.
YOU might hear him swiftly coming,
Riding on the wintry blast;
His reindeer team a jinglng,
And their hoof beats falling fast
His furs are black with chimney soot
His beard Is white as snow,
His sleigh Is full of pretty toys,
You ought to hear him go!
HE lights upon the sleety roof
And doesn't stop a minute
He jumps upon the chimney top,
And down he pumps within 1t;
He pauses on the hearthstone,
And he takes a little peep
To see II all the curly heads
Are safe in bed asleep.
HE goes about on tiptoe,
Nor makes a bit of noise,
He fills up all the stockings
With sugar plums and toys;
And then he gives a little laugh,
Pops up the chimney quick,
And off he jingles on the wind,
The jolly old St, Nick.
