co. Y. NJ. c. A. CONFERENCE
The Biggest Ever Held In This Part of the
State.-Votes to Come to Yale Next
Year il ORGANIZATION Is Perfected.

Year if Organization Is Perfected.
One hundred and twenty men and
boys, who were delegates from all the
sat down together at their annual con-
ference and banquet on Friday evening
March 20, and after an elaborate sup
per was served they listened to one of
the best banquet programs ever pro-
vided for meeting of boys in our
county.
The conference program lasted two
days, including devotional meetings,
athletic contests, singing, band con-
cert by the. County Y. M. G. A. band,
lectures by people of state and national
reputation, and the delegates pronounc-
ed it the best and most helpful confer
ence they ever attended.
When the time came for the vote of
the conference determining where the
conference should be held next year,
the invitation was given by delegate
| from Yale to bring it to this city, and
owing to the fact that the northern
part of the county had never had the
opportunity of the conference the en-
tire body of delegates voted to give
Y ale the chance to have the fourth an
nual conference, providing the associa-
tion was organized there as their dele
gate assured them it would be.
The theme of the conference was "a
Call to Service" and this theme was
carried into every lecture in such a
way that every delegate could not help
but return to his own town with a
much broader vision as to his posi-
bilities and responsibilities regarding
his service to his town and to the
"Other Fellow" than when he came.

SACRED MISTLET0E.

The druids with ceremonies of great
solemnity used to collect mistletoe with
golden sickle against the festival of
winter solstice.' Only the oaks bear
ing mistletoe were sacred to this an
cient order of men.
1t 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-
moniously by the drufds 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 We're decked with evergreen

might repair to them and remain I'M
nipped with frost and cold winds until
a milder season had renewed the foil

Forerunrer Of Christmas.

The spirit of merrymaking that
marks our Christmas holidays had its
origin with the Roman feast called
honor of Saturn, father of the gods.
1t lasted for week or two, beginning
about the 10th of December, and was
the occasion for great revelry among
all classes. No business was transact
ed during this period, war was sus-
pended, private feuds were forgotten
or forgiven, and general good fellow
ship reigned supreme. Friends ex.
changed presents with one another,
and the slaves were waited upon BIZ
their masters and mistresses.
