YULE TIDE

Few if any were the primitive
tribes of man that did not set
their greatest Of Nature Gods
in the sun. It was excellent reas-
oning, as, without it the merest
child of nature knew he could
not exist. It brought us light,
life and food. It brought us moth
ing bad. its gifts were all good.
We saw it slip away from the
earth as the year waned, we saw
it come back, and met it with re-
joicing at the winter solstice.
The last Of these great sun fes-
rivals we yet celebrate where
Cristendom reigns at Yuletide
time, or Christmas Day, and
Easter Day. Both too precious
to let slip away into oblivion.
When the Roman rulers put
away their nature gods, then
adopted the simple spiritual be-
lief of a common people, they
carried this belief with them as

Ing. simultaneously there is a warm
glow In two hearts widely severed.
And vet there are people who won

revived at yuletide when men and

Christmas day is the time to light
the sacred fire upon the altar Of old

and planting it on the ruins Of
the English old Druidic tradi-
lions how it grew and flourish
ed, and what a time of festival
when Mass to Christ was said
as the Winter Festival to the
Sun was turned into a Christian
Festival and dedicated as the
birthday Of Jesus.
Forty days in We olden time on
Albion's soil was often given to
this time until finally, by law, it
was brought down to twelve days
from New Christmas or Yuletide
to Old Christmas, from Dec. Is
to Jan. 5.
Today we have but seven,
with but one day as best and
greatest, and into this one day
is crowded the observance of the
traditions from many a far-off
cline and time.
The Yule log, made from the
sacred oak tree, whom the gods
were said to love best. and the
mistletoe and kissing plant of
the gods, along with the Christ
mas roasted boar head came to
our Christmas Sun Festival from
the Druids.
The name Of st. Nicholas as
Santa Claus, as the English
our Christmas patron saint, or
speaking people shorten his
name to, came from an extreme
ly benevolent Bishop Of Myria in
Asia Minor, who loved children,
and was canonized, when he died
in 343, as their patron saint. He
was represented as a round jol-
ly saint. The Christmas tree
comes from the cold north land
where grew the fir, cedar, and
Norway pines. Odin, the great
god Of this land, was the recip-
lent of many gifts at this winter
sun festival, the gifts being laid
about fir trees set aside to him
as being sacred. Martin Luther,
one wintry night , seeing the
stars shining in peculiar way
thru the branches of a fir tree,
felt as if God was sending him

a special message Of peace and
good will to earth, and he per-
haps more than another, lighted
the way for the Christmas tres
to remain.
Roast goose and the plum
pudding comes from an Egyp-
tian nature festival; while ever
green decoration we get from an
older Roman nature festival.
Our Christmas day holds mem-
cries of long ago days. Days be-
yond the Christian era. Yet, no
difference from gouping in dark
ness and something beyond this
world greater than all it holds
of and for us, it is a precious gift
to us, one never to be forgotten
until the earth as a scroll is fin
ished, rolled up and put away in
the archives of time. 1t was a
blessed idea to save this day out
of an olden sacrificial worship
and give it as a birth memorial
to one who came trying to save
the world by the Peace an6
Good Will doctrine from sacrifice
of life and all evil. It seems Ion,
in doing, and we fear the wol'

spirit and as ordered, but it wi

day the Christmas song will fol

A 8 yuletide draws near, a mans
~ mind is very apt to revert to
~ happy Christmas times that
have gone before. There is
most always a woman connected with
q mans happy times and pleasant day
dreams. The man who left the farm
to make his fortune in the great city
and who has become rich. a bachelor
boarding at q fashionable hotel or club,
can usually recall some particularly
happy Christmas in the long ago-a

taking his first sweetheart Christmas
v to q ball in the town hall ; the de-
light Of taking her home-a mile
through IN drifts on a winter night.
he had written to her a few times aft
Ell leaving home, then the excitement
OF city life had crowded her out If his
memory and his life. As Christmas
draws nigh again, thoughts carry him
back to the girl he loved when time
was young with him. On the impulse

The old folks at home had been care
full never to mention her even In an

How strange it is that the same
thought fill two different minds at
the same time. The girl of long ago,
still single, knowing he has not wed,
picks up courage to send a Christmas
card to the boy grown old now who
took her to her first ball on Christmas
eve. The letter and card cross each
other as each flies to it's goal. The
bachelor finds it in his Christmas mail.

Time Again

There's a FIRE in the CRATE and 4
light in the hall,
For it's Christmas time again,
And the sleighbells ring and the
children call,
For it's Christmas time again.
It's time for Christian land to raise
Her loudest paeans Of love and
praise
For the Holy Babe Of the Bethlehem
days,
For it's Christmas time again.
There's a wreath. of green at the
windowpane,
For it's Christmas time again,
And the church bells echo the glad
refrain,
For it's Christmas time again.
Oh, it's time to turn with the golden
smile
To the friend we doubted and
scorned awhile,
TO rid our hearts Of their greed and
guile!
For its Christmas time again.
