CHRISTMAS IN OTHER LANDS
Children Of Russia, Spain and Italy
Devote Day to Worship In
Their Churches.

The children Of Russia Italy and
Spain spend Christmas day in wor-
ship at their churches and receive
their presents on January 6.
On this same day French children
have a great celebration and cut the
"kiDgs cake" which is a round cake,
usually, with china image baked in
1T. Whoever cuts the slice that con-
tnins the image is king or queen for
the day, and the rest Of the children
must do everything the king or queen
does.
In Norway and Sweden they have
christmas services in their churches
at four o'clock in the morning and
the kind-hcartcd children scatter
wheat for the hungry birds.
Germany was the first country to use
Christmas trees. and from England we
get our idea OF hanging the stockings
by the chmncys, burning the yuIc log
and hanging up the branches Of miStlc-
toe.
In Holland on Christmas eve the
children fill their stockings with hay
nnd oats for the white horse that they
believe Santa Claus rides. In the
morning they find the hay T." ID oats
gone and instead arc presents for good
children and rod or chunk of coal
fcr the bad ones. The young men Of
the town arise at two o'clock in the
morning and sing Christmas hymns,

HOLY ClTY'S CHRISTMAS TIME
Distressing Scenes Witnessed In
Church Of the f:ativity-Guards
on Duty Day and Might.

Although much has been written up.
on the subject of Christmas in Beth,
lehem, writes Harold J. Shepstone IN
the Wide World, and we have had
glowing accounts Of It's gorgeous pro-
ceSSions and ceremonies, none appears
to have been bold enough to tell the
world OF the distressing scene which
may be witnessed in the one SDOt on
earth where man would expect peace
to reign ut that glad season Of the
year. Christmas Is a long business at
Bethlehem. First come the Latin cerc.
monies, which take place on December
70, followed 13 days later by the Greek
services, while 13 days later comes the
Armenian Christmas feast. The serv-
Ices are held in the Church Of the Ma
ufity, one OF the most remarkable cdt-
fees In the world. The holy of holles
of the church Is the grottO or manger.
1t is q small underground chamber,
said to be the actual site Of the stable
where the Savior was born. Just in
front Of the altar is silver star, let
into the marble floor, said to mark the
exact spot Of the nativity.
In the various ceremonies the BIT
tcrcst rivalry ev'e's between the vari-
Gus Sccts, an "' II during the ordinary

Festivities that the church Is cleaned
TO prevent quarrels among the rival
priests the authorities many years ago
set down definite rules as to what por-
tlonS of the walls, pillars, floors, etc,
this or that body may clean or sweep.
Despite these elaborate precautions,
however, trouble often arises. During
the Christmas, Festivities Of 1913 a
deplornble scene was witnessed In the
sacred building. Two SectS disputed
the rights to clean certain portion
Of the church. They went to the gov
crn0r Of bethlehem and he decided n
certain sect possessed the right to do
the work. When they started to sweep,
however, the rival priests flew at them
and soldiers had to hold one sect back
while the other did the sweeping.

Duty Brings Vision

Tolstoi tells a lovely little
story Of two pilgrims who set
out for Jerusalem. Yelesei
stopped to help a starving fam
lily. He bought food, fetched
water, split wood, started the
great oven fire, nursed and fed
the sick, redeemed the mortgage
on the home, and bought back
the COW, horse. and scythe with
which the living was carried.
His money was all gone, and he
could not hope to Ovcrtake his
companion on the road, so he
returned home and devoted him
self again to daily duty. Yefim
would not pause to help anyone.
He reached Jerusalem, visited
the sacred places, obtained earth
from Calvary, water from the
Jordan, and blessed amulets of
every kind, but because Of the
throng he could not reach the
Holy Sepulchre. Yet, under the
lamps themselves where the
blessed fire burns before all, he
saw Il vision Of Yelcsei, wearing
halo Of shining glory about
his head. For Yefim had
brought his body to the Holy
Land, but Christ himself had
, come to the soul Of Yelesei. And
he learned that In this world
God bids everyone do his duty
till death-in love and good
deeds.
