Legen1 of The Christmas Tree

The origin OF the Christmas tree is
that the lighted and decorated tree was
lost far back in the dim shadows OF
antiquity. Very early records claim
used in celebrating the feasts Of
heather gods. and the custom was
later adopted by Christendom.
The early Greeks called Christmas
the Feast OF Lights" and there is a
Hebrew feast OF the same name, to
which we may trace the idea Of illumi-
nation at Christmas.
Saint Boniface, an early missionary
to the Germans, is the hero Of one mar
rative explaining the Christmas trees
origin. II is said that, when he went
into Germany to destroy the peoples
worship OF the Druids. or forest gods,
he hewed down an ancient oak, long an
object OF worship, and there instantly
sprang up in its place a strong young
FIR tree. Addressing the group Of new
~ converted Christians, St Boniface
said
This little tree, a young child Of the
forest, shall be your holy tree tonight

No matter how kind people are 10 you

bit hard to be sick in a place where no
body speaks your language, so the
American Red Cross has set out on a
hunt for every American and every
other English speaking soldier in a
French hospital The cards they are
distributing are in the form Of postals
with a set Of questions printed in both
French and English. They ask for the
name. rank, regiment. number and com
pany OF the man. his general condition
and the name and address OF his next
Of kin. All the cards so to the office OF
the American Rcd Cross in Paris where
they are sorted, those OF British, Cana
dians or Australians being turned over
TO their respective Red Crosses and the
American ones acted on directly.
To the nearest Red Cross worker is
sent the address Of the French hospi-
tails in her district where there are
American wounded and she is asked
TO go and see the boys. Clothing is
sent them IL they need it, cigarets,
chocolate, fruit and the various "eX-
tras" that the wounded man, who al
most never loses his appetite, Graves.
Four thousand cards have gone out
already and the hospitals have been
asked TO call for more just as often
as they need them. American soldiers
are finding it harder and harder to get
lost in France.
