MistIetos and Its Meaning.


Among the Saxons the fact that mis-
tletoe was suspended from the roof Of
a dwelling intimated to the wayfarer
that the hospitality Of the house
was at his disposal, and beneath Its
branches friend and stranger, vassal
and lord, gathered together In com
radeship and good cheer. The re-
ligious aspect Of the mistletoe tradi-
ton, which had its origin In the Druid
zeal rites, and the gathering Of 1t by
the arch Druid with his golden sickle
merged later into a purely social sym
Dol, and the idea Of simple hospitality
developed into one Of merrymaking
and a somewhat riotous entertain
ment
The kiss of the Scandinavian god
dess expanded into the custom of a
kiss given for every berry that grew
on the bough. Small wonder that, in
spite Of the mistletoe having original
ly existed in the odor of sanctity, the
church came TO regard It as an en-
tirely pagan symbol and refused to
allow 1t to participate with the holly
and the evergreen in the Yuletide dec
orations.
There is an ancient belief that the
rnistletoe was the tree from which the
holy cross was hewn and that after
this was made the plant withered.

"safety First" at Christmas.

Do not decorate your Christmas tree
with paper, cotton or any other In
fiammable material Use metallic tin
sci and other noninflammable decora-
tons only and set the tree securely 30
that children in reaching for things
cannot tip 1t over.
Do not use cotton to represent snow.
II you must have snow use asbestos
fiber.
Do not permit children TO light or
relight candles while parents are not
present. They frequently set fire to
their clothing instead. The tree itself
will burn when the needles have be-
come dry.
Do not leave matches within the
reach OF children at holiday time. Can
dies are meant TO be lighted, and II
children can get matches they will ex-
pertinent with them. They initiate
their elders.
Church people should also be very
careful. Holiday fires In churches and
schools are usually holocausts because
Of the crowds. and every care should
be exercised TO insure the safety OF all
The ones burned are by no means the
only oIsas who lose their lives, for II Is
the general rule that more are killed
in the rush and excitement and escap-
ing from the building.

Various Names
For Christmas

THRISTMAS signifies Christ's
mass, meaning the festival OF
~ the Nativity Of Christ. During
the many centuries since the
advent Il has been variously spelled
II Is found in the old source books
changing from Crystmasse, the very
old English, through phases Of Cristen-
mas, Crystynmas, Christenmas and
Christmes TO Christmas and eventual
~. as today. Christmas.
The French call the holiday Noel or
Novel. This Is a derivation Of the
French nouvelles. meaning tidings
Some, however take Il as an abbre
Walton Of the Provencal MADAM or
nadal, which means the same rs the
Latin natalls-that is. dies natalis, the
birthday. We find Chaucer in his
Canterbury Tales" In that part OF the
narrative told by the Frankeleyn, al.
luding to Christmas and employing the
French term Novel as a festive holi-
day cry.
yule or julie. meaning a festival Of the
sun. The name yule is still used by
the Scotch, and the Scandinavians call
their festival Juletide. The Welsh
call Christmas Nadolig, signifying a
birth, and the Italians speak Of It as
II Natalie, which is cognate with the
Spanish term and a contraction Of the
Latin.
Not only is the derivation OF the
word itself In doubt. but whether the
25th Of December is the real date of
the advent has long been a contro-
vertible subject among chronologists.
Early Christians were divided as to the
date, some contending that It was the
LIST or the 9th day Of January. others
the Goth Of March. the day Of the Jew
ish passover and still others declaring
for the Goth of September. the feast Of
the tabernacles.
julius l., bishop Of Rome. In A. d.
337-352 seemed to settle the dispute by
declaring Dec. 25 as the date. The
western church accepted this, and the
eastern church eventually came
around, but the Armenian church still
adheres to Jan. Q. Julius seems to
have established authoritatively the
18th as the anniversary from what
must have been authenticated tradition
or II would have been since disproved
in these days Of enlightened archaeolo-
gy. There are still. however, some I'M
convinced ones. who hold that the de-
scription given in St Luke is more In
dicative Of the spring than winter.
