THE MYSTERY OF CHRISTMAS
One Day Of the Year That All Other
Days Are Learning to Envy
and Initiate.

II seems to me that always, as the
Gath of December commenced to
shorten, the white, fieecy snow began
to fall, says a writer in the Crafts
man. When the street lamps flick
cred up like candles on an altar, they
gazed on q world that was white. The
strife of the city was muffled. Carts
went by, but you had to peer out
through the blinds to know that they
were passing-they made no sound.
An atmosphere Of gentleness had de-
scended. Everyone in the house went
about with stealth, as though planning
some secret kindness.
And then the night and the trying
to keep awake till Santa Claus should
come. And the waking up, with the
frost weaving patterns on the panes.
Somewhere far away harp was be-
ing played, and cornet was challeng-
ing the silence. The tune they played
was an accompaniment to the most
beautiful legend in the world. At
first, dreamily, you tried to remember
why for once the darkness was not
frightening, and then, "Ah. it's Christ
mas!" As you turned. your feet made
the paper crack, and at the end of the
bed you were too content and happy
even to look at your presents. Why
was 1t that next day everybody and
everything was different? The air was
full of bells singing riotously. Every
one, for this one day. ceased to think
Of his own happiness and found hap
piness in bringing cheerfulness to
others. The stern gulf which is fixed
between children and grown-ups had
vanished-there weren't any grown
ups. Somewhere in your childish
heart you wondered why every day
couldn't be made day of kindness.
And that wonder OF child's heart
is the Christmas message. Once o
year, by a divine conspiracy, all the
ships Of our hopes and fears turn back
from their voyagings to the harbor Of
tenderness. They are borne back on
the crest Of q white tide of mysticism
that sweeps round the world. A truce
Of God is declared to all fightings, and
men and women walk as children
through a world that is kind. They
commence to give and cease to annex:
they act in the belief that God is in
his heaven. The spirit is one tremu-
lous white day of unselfishness- day
which gradually some other days in
the year are learning to envy and imi'
tate.

why We Burn Candles.

The custom of burning candles on
the Christmas tree comes from two
sources. The Romans burned candles
at the feast of Saturn as sign of good
cheer, while the Jews burned candles
during the feast Of the Dedication.
which happened to fall about the same
time as that OF Saturn In the Roman
calendar. II is quite possible that
for this reason there would have been
many candles burning all over Pales-
tine about the time Of the birth OF
Christ, and from this comes the term
''Feast Of Lights" which 10 the name
used in the Greek church for Christ
