SACRED MISTLETOE.

The druids with ceremonies of great
solemnity used to collect mistletoe with
golden sickle against the festival Of
winter sGlstice." Only the oaks bear
ing mistletoe were sacred to this an
cient order Of men.
It is recorded that the peoples rev.
erence for the priests proceeded in
great measure from the cures which
the priests effected by means Of this
curious green plant OF the pear-like
berries. 1t was collected thus cere-
montously by the druids because it was
supposed to drive away evil spirits.
The reason among the druids for
bringing in bits of evergreen from the
woods and adjoining the house is a
most charming and lovable one: ''The
houses were decked with evergreen
in December that the Sylvan spirits
might repair to them and remain I'M
nipped with frost and cold winds until
a milder season had renewed the foil
age of their darling abodes. "-Crafts-

To Make e True Christmas.

Don't forget the lonely, the suffering,
the poor, on Christmas. Remember
that the first and greatest Christmas
gift was sent not to the rich and pow
erful, but to the poor and needy. Give
to those who are near and dear to you,
but somewhere, somehow, in your ordi-
and dear to no one else and make
Christmas for him or her.

"a i
wv that babe, wrapped in swad-
ding clothes, lying in man
ger at Bethlehems Prophets were
interested, angels were interested,
the ages have been most deeply in
terested since. The shepherds had
perhaps some prcmonition. The
seventy weeks of Daniels prophecy
were about fulfilled. 1t may be at
that very time they were talking OF
the coming of Christ.
Suddenly their attention was ar
rested by strange sight in the
heavens. 1t grew brighter and took
the form Of an angel, and then they
heard a voice announcing the birth
of Christ as glad tidings for all peo-
pie. not to the Jews only. Then
suddenly the air was filled with an
gels singing as if they had come
right out from the air.
We know not their wonderful
song, but part came to mortal ears.
"Glory to God in the highest" etc.
We know not who those angels were.
but we fancy they were the redeem
ed. Adam was there; Eve was
there. Eve, who in her maternal
earnestness declared at the birth Of
her frstborn, 4 have cot a man
from the Lord" hoping that that
was he who should bruise the SER
pent's head. Now, in the fullness
of time she had come to witness the
birth of the babe who was to be the
Saviour Of her race. David, Elijah.
Moses, the patriarchs, we believe,
were with the heavenly host.
This song reveals three things:
First.-The glorifcation of God
through the incarnation. God has
glory through his vast work in ma
ture, his providence building up and
casting down nations, etc.
In the incarnation there was spe-
cial glory. 1t was glory to God in
the highest-highest, in that it was
above all other glory. in that it OK

tended to all time and IN that 1t
wrought such wondrous good.

Second.-The great results to the
earth. It would result in peace.
Strifes, thorns and thistles were
Astounding. The earth was torn and
bleeding by constant contention.
With Christ came peace. The result
would be universal peace.
Third.-The effect on the individ-
ual man. "Good will toward men,"
from one another, from God. Out
of this good will would finally spring
peace on earth and glory to God in
the highest.-Dr. Matthew Simpson.

Thomson said that he always felt
like an intruder in the Huber home
and that Mrs. Huber used TO complain
