MADE THE DAY LICENTIoUS
Years Arrival Into a Saturnalia
of Viciousness.

The Chaldeans and the ancient Per
slams were in the habit of liherating
many prisoners on the first day of the
year. The Romans by the thousands
entered the temple of Janus on New
Years day to offer sacrifice of cake
made of meal. wine, and olive oil.
Janus, it win be remembered, was
The two-faced god who looked at both
the past and the future, and it was in
his honor that the Romans mt length
added January TO the beginning of
their year. AS Rome grew rich
through conquest and trade, the citi-
zens adopted the custom of present
ing on New Years day gifts costly be-
yond all modern conception. and cspe-
cially were the presents TO the en-
perors or caesars SO extremely magni-
ficent that Claudius felt compelled to
issue a declaration limiting the value

IT caused the day TO degenerate into a
period of such riotous and degrading
acts that the Christian church forbade
its members to take, part in any of the
