President Wilson believes in the

Despite popular opinion to the con-
trary, Thanksgiving day as an insti-
tuition is not peculiarly American.
For history shows that all ancient ma
tlons used to celebrate some feast of a
thanksgiving nature, while most of the
tribes of our American Indians had a
big gathering and harvest feast
years before the white man ever set
foot on the shores Of the new world.
By the Greeks and Romans the fes-
tival days in honor of the goddess of
agriculture were times of rustic sport,
Of professions through the fields ana
the decorating Of the home with fruits
and flowers. The people of Egypt en-
ioyed a time of feastlng after gather-l
ing in their harvests and laid the
fruits Of the year on the altar Of the
Goddess Isis.

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
BY PEARL c. MILLER.

The whole world Is a Christmas tree,
And stars its many candles be.
The spirit. Of Christmas should be
one of love, charity. sympathy and
hospitality. Christmas means the an
niversary Of the birth of Christ. and
only the best impulses OF the human
heart should characterize the season
Of rejoicing and giving.
Perhaps, when we are puzzled and
worried about our Christmas gifts, we
may not be wholly unselfish our
selves, or we may be striving to give
to him that hath. If you are doubtful
about the appreciation your little gift
may receive try giving 1t to someone
more needy, and the doubt viii quick

Not what we give, but what we share,
For the gift without the giver is bare.
Is there a Santa Claus? The Ger
man named Krist Kindlein, Christ
child, finally became corrupted into
Kriss Kringle, being now identified
with Santa Claus. Saint Nicholas, a
synonymous term, was a Greek, who
died about 343 A. d. He was con-

Claus means the spirit of Christmas.
The custom of hanging up stock
ings on Christmas eve originated in
England and was brought to this
country by the Pilgrim Fathers.
Decorations and music are indispen-
sable for the Christmas season, and
these are within the reach of all. 1t
is an ancient belief that the mistletoe
contains medicinal properties, and it
was supposed to have the power to
dispel any evil spirits.
Since Christmas symbolizes the
