St. Nicholas
 And Christmas

THE origin of the idea that pres
 ents are presented at Christmas
 time by St. Nicholas, or Santa Claus. probably originated from the following circumstances: St. Nicholas Is said to have been bishop of Myra and to have died in the year 326 He was noted for his fondness for chil- dren, and he became their patron saint, and the young were universally taught to revere him. He is said to have sup piled three destitute families with mar riage portions by secretly leaving mon- ey at their windows, and as this oc- cured just before Christmas he thus became purveyor of the gifts of the season to all children in Flanders md Holland. who hung up their shoes and stockings in the confidence that Knechl Globes, as they called him, would put In q prize for good conduct.
 Formerly, and still in some parts of Germany, the practice Is made of all the parents in a small village sending the presents to some one person, who in huge buskins. 2 white robe, a mask and an enormous flax wig, goes from house to house on Christmas eve and, being received with great pomp and reverence by the parents, calls for the children and bestows the intended gifts upon them, after first severely questioning the father and mother as to the character and conduct of the child.
 As this custom became less frequent the custom of children hanging up their stocking was substituted, and, as the purveyor no longer visited the houses. 1t was necessary to explain by telling the children that he came into the house at night, coming down the chimney and leaving their presents and departing The custom of decking the houses and churches at Christmas with evergreens is derived from ancient druidical practices.
 It was an old belief that sylvan spirits flock to the evergreen and re main unnipped by frost until mildes season, and 1t was probably on account of the good omen attached to the ever- green that Christmas trees came into use.

Cbe Message Of Cbrlstmas
By Cardinal Gibbons, Hrcb'
 btsbop of Baltimore

TO-DAY the whole Christian O world prostrates itself in adoration around the crib of Bethle- hem and rehearses in accents of love a history which precedes all time and will endure throughout eterni- ty. If asked to explain the raptur- ous influence which controls us we have no other words than the evan. gel of joy which the angel gave unto earth, "For this day is born unto you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord"
 The blessings resulting from our Christian civilization are poured out 80 regularly and abundantly on the intellectual, moral and social world, like the sunlight and the air of heaven and the fruits of the earth, that they have ceased to excite any surprise except to those who visit lands where the religion of Christ is little known.
 Before the advent of Christ the whole world, with the exception of the secluded Roman province of Palestine, was buried in idolatry. Men worshiped the sun and moon and stars of heaven. They worship ed everything except God only, to whom alone divine homage is due. Christ, the Light of the World, pro- claimed unto all men in its fullness the truth which had hitherto been hidden in Judea. He taught man. kind to know the one true God, a God existing from eternity unto eternity, a God who created all things by his wisdom and whose su- perintending providence watches over the affairs of nations as well as of men-"without whom not even sparrow falls to the ground"
 The message of Christmas day is intended for all men, for all times, for all conditions of existence. Only by stern adhesion to the principles therein contained can individuals and nations hope to share in that peace which has been promised to men of good will. To violate them is to reverse the order established by God

Birthplace of
 Christ
 Observes Nativity In Many Ways

sxpectant silences of the sapphire night, came the angelic message and the radiant presences to the waiting shepherds, says the Boston Herald. This town, untouched by the hand of modern progress, nestles prayerfully among the Judean hills of Palestine and has the only shrine in the world around which there are three separate Christmases-a trinity of impressive celebrations which occupy an entire month.
 Flrst, there is the elaborate Latin or Roman Catholic service, which takes place on our own Christmas day, Dee, 25. It is followed, thirteen days ater, by the Christmas Greek serv- Ices, as they keep the old calendar; then, thirteen days later, by the Christ mas services of the Armenian church.

 Cbords
By Sister M. ftdes Sbepper-
 son, M. H.

THF world is at its best on O Christmas day. The spirit whence issued the Sermon on the Mount, the spirit eminent in the sublime world-absolution of the cross, the spirit of the gentle Christ of Bethlehem, of Nazareth, of Cali lee, Jerusalem and Calvary, seems strangely at home in an alien world on Christmas day.
 The churches chant "Adeste" and we go. Faithful or unfaithful, self commenting or self condemning, loving, doubting, sorrowing, yet we go to the church on Christmas day when the chimes ring out "Adeste."
 Something deeper than life calls through the Christmas call. It mur- murs of the eternal years; it con- notes the one Knower; it tells of the gentle Lover of souls. And then in golden silence there is hope in the world, there is promise, there is Che who knows and cares; there are Calvary, compassion, kindness, good will, Christmas.
 Gather together all the children of the world under thy sheltering wings, 0 Spirit of Christmas day! Let them not sorrow any more; let them not hate one another any more; let them not despair; comfort the lonely; console the mothers that mourn, the women and children that wait; assuage the bangs of madden ing memories that arise from happier Christmas days; breathe blessings over the nameless graves; speak par don and pity over the battlefelds; tell of peace to war wounded world.
 And tell again the old, old story of the Prince of Peace and bid the churches chime as joyfully as ever their welcoming "Adeste" and let the little children sing the hope songs of the year to be--peace on earth, good will to men, glory to God in the highest.

Cbe Personality of Christ
 yATlE judge by their persOnality-the image they lEVl present to the world by their acts and words. UvJ So men classified not by their stature
 wealth or brains, but by the part they play in the affairs of life. About the individual that is back of the mask we know nothing save as lie speaks through it. Judged thus, is Jesus worthy to be followed :? The message of the angels at his coming a song of "peace earth good will to men," Not word that he spoke, not command that he gave, not ideal thai he upted set his life at variance with the angel song. The cradle song of Bethlehem is applicable to every day of his life.
 The child became man-a man whose mighty voice lifted in protest against the i'll will that peace earth Listen while he gives utterance to the formal address that he spoke He is telling those qualities of mind that will make men blessed. They have been we'll named the Beatitudes. Are they less applicable to every day of the year than to Christi mas? Purity of mind, meekness of dspOstOn irater. nty of attitude hunger for righteousness, mercy in the treatment of others and the genius of peacenakng- when are these not applicable 10 our human life? Were these practiced by every day. what black clouds of evil thoughts and evil judgments would disappear from the sky of our mortal life! great zest for right thinking and right acting would quicken weary feet with the reSteSSneSS of youth. Our hearts would be senstized to the cry of the hungry and the despairing. Social equality and economic justice would der0ne the gods of greed and selfish ambition. Every man. woman and child would have liberty and fair pay-rO0m to stretch and souls, the right 10 live and the right 10 work the right to be happy and to look up at the stars.-Rev. George B.
