Some Legends
of Christmas
Celebrations
VHE original "halcyon days"
were at Christmas, and were
SO-called because the haIcyOn,

were at Christmas, and were
s0-called because the haIcyon,
an ancient name for the king
fisher, was said to build its nest upon
the waters at this time of year. It was
generally supposed that this bird,
through the influence Of the holy sea-
son, had the power to still the waves
and winds, so that the weather was
peaceful and calm, and enabled the
halcyon to lay her eggs in her floating
nest and brood upon them with perfect
safety.
In olden times it was believed that
all nature testified in various ways to
recognition Of the great event COM
memorated in the celebration of Christ
mas. The winds and seas, as well as
the animals and plants and all other
living things, gave evidence Of knowl-
edge Of the approaching glorious ami
versary and became imbued with the
prevalent spirit Of alteration, Joy and
peace.
Tradition tells us that at the mo-
ment Of the Savior's birth a universal
peace reigned throughout the earth,
that a deep silence rested upon the
world. the birds stopped in their flight,
the cattle ceased to feed, men became
motionless with sudden awe in the
midst Of their labors, and the stars
glittered with added luster. From this
tradition came the superstitions of the
middle ages relating to the miraculous
phenomena supposed to occur annu-
ally at Christmas, many of which still
survive.
Bells, too, have their legends. In
village near Raleigh, in Nottingham
shire, England, there is now a valley
where once there was a picturesque
and prosperous village, but an earth
quake swallowed it up; yet every
Christmas since, the bells of the bur-
led church are heard Ginning.
Similar tales. are told of Preston, in
Lancashire, and Been, in the Neither
lands. This latter city was famed for
its beauty and magnificence, and also
for the sins and avarice of it's inhabi-
tants. On the anniversary of his birth,
the Saviour came as a beggar and went
from door to door; but. although
Christmas festivities were being kept
up, nobody would give him aims. Sin
was abundant on all sides, but there
| were no Christmas goodwill and char
ity, and he called to the sea and it
came and completely covered the un-
holy city Of Been. But at Christmas
time even now comes the joyous peal
ing of bells from under the water

only true progress-the progress that
enables US to perceive and admire the
moral sublime.
Conspfcuously radiant among these
gala days is the Christmas, standing
as it does for the nativity of One who
all theological quibbling aside, was the
living embodiment of the most beau
tiful and, at the same time, the most
helpful manhood that this world has
ever seen.
The one who is foremost in our
thoughts at this time was pre-eminent.
~ hopeful. From the harp over
which he swept his hand there came
no pessimistic strain, no note Of de-
spair.
He gave us the gospel, the "Gla1
Tidings." To all his word was "Be
not afraid" The Supreme in whose
embrace he ever rested, like the babe
in mothers arms, was supreme love
Hence that other word of his, which
he was so fond of repeating to the
multitude, "Let not your hearts be
troubled"
Religion, so-called, is responsible
for vast amount Of mental misery
It has crazed many mind, broken
many heart, driven countless thou

let it be remembered that the Beauti.
full One who is commemorated in the
Christmas season authorized no man,
or combination of men, to speak in
his name the word of gloom.
He who was born in Bethlehem, or
in Nazareth, for it makes no differ
ence where he first saw the light of
earth, grew up to be the most uncom-
promising optimist that ever walked
the ways of earth. Wherever he went
along with him went gladness, and
from his radiant presence despair fled
as the darkness fees before the rising
sun.
He was like the wonderful river in
the sea, warming and encouraging all
that he touched. The Gulf Stream of
humanity, he put new life and cour.
age and joy into the cheerless. sor.
rowing world to which he came.
And he was able to do this because
he was SO gloriously hopeful, SO
stanchly committed to the belief in
the best.
Looking up, he saw, instead Of the
"black, bottomless eyesocket," the liv'
ing, loving glance Of the "Father,'
whose eternal goodness would never
do him harm.
Looking ahead, this man saw nc
spooks or bogies, no devils or fiends

over it hung no dark clouds of impend

II Jesus had written a poem we
may be sure that it would have beer
very similar to Whittier's:
I know not where his islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
I only know I cannot drift
Beyond his love and care.
And so beside the silent sea
wait the nuffied oar;
No harm can come from him to me.
On ocean or on shore.
