celebrated by Christmas. II wns Ia
make all men brothers that he lived
and taught and toled; II WINS To nc.
complisll this that he gave himself up
voluntarily 10 a cruel death on the
cross.
II is a wonderful thing that he was

his power Is over the world as the
power Of the Roman empire never
was.
II is n marvellous thing about Christ
that as the years and centuries in.
crease since his death, the more renl
he becomes In the thoughts of men
and the better he is understood.
There have been attempts to prove
that he was myth But there never
was an attempt Mt anything that failed
so dlsmally. There have been Mt.
tempts to dispute the miracles he per.
formed. but these attempts have also
failed.
There Is no question now In the
mind Of any historian worthy of the
name that Christ performed all the
thnt are related Of him In the
Gospels. He undoubtedly healed the
sick-the leprous, the palsied and the
others. He turned the water into wine
he fed the multitude on a few loaves
md fishes. He raised the dead.
Men may differ, as indeed they do,
rs to whether or not Christ was the
liyine son Of God, but even those who
n the face OF every proof reject this
'lnim still regard him MS the purest,
he nobest and the greatest man that
ever walked this earth. Every man
loes not worship him as God. but no
nan defames him. He Is the vision
md the hope of all men.
When, In mockery, they crowned
lin king with the cruel thorns. little
hey thought thnt he would rule

Some Legends
OF Christmas
Celebrations

I"NlE original "halcyon days"
were NJ Christmas, and we're
sn-cnlled because the halcyon,
an ancient name for the king
hSller, WINS said 10 build its nest upon
The waters at this time of year. II was
generally supposed that this bird,
! through the influence Of the holy sea
son, had the power to still the waves
and winds, 50 that the weather was
! peaceful and calm. and enabled the
halcyon 10 lay her eggs in her flonting
nest and brood upon them with perfect
safety
In oden times II was believed that
MI nature testified in various ways to
Il recognition of the great event com
mcmorated IN the celebration of Christ

the animals and plants and all other
living things, gave evidence Of knowl.

prevalent spirit Of alteration. JOY and
peace
Tradition tells us that at the mo-
ment of the Saylor's birth n universal
peace reicned throughout the earth,
that Il deep silence rested upon the
world, the birds stopped In their flight,
the cattle ceased to feed, men became
motoncss with sudden awe In the
midst Of their labors, and the stars
glittercd with added luster. From this
tradition came the snperstitions of the
middle ages relating to the miraculous
phenomena supposed TO occur annu-
ally Mt Christmas, many of which still
survive.
Bells too, have their legends. In a
village near Raleigh, in Nottingham
shire, England. there is now a valley
where once there was a picturesque
and prosperous village. but an enrth-
quake swallowed II up; yet every
Christmas since. the bells Of the bur
led church are heard Ginning.
Similar tales ARE told of Preston. In

Its beauty and magnlficence. and also
