A BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS
CUSTOM.

The wanderings Of the Blessed Vir-
gin and st. Joseph on Christmas Eve,
before they found shelter in the stable
where our Blessed Lord was born, are
still commemorated in Spain, where
they have a posada, or hostelry pro-
cession, marches on Christmas Eve
from house to house. Children car
rying images of Mary and Joseph lead
the way, followed by mixed crowd,
all bearing tapers, who halt at door

ing who is there. The spokesman
replies: ut is Mary. the Queen of
Heaven, who begs place to lay her
head; the night is dark and cold, and
she is wanderer far from Galilee.'
The doors of the church are thrown
open, and the procession enters, to be
led to side altar prepared to repre-
sent a stable with a manger, dimly
lighted by single lantern. Here all
kneel and recite the last prayers of a
prescribed litany; and as the final Pc
tition dies away, a little boy with
wings fastened to his shoulders, and
in his arms an image representing the
Holy Child, rushes in, and lays his
burden in the crib. The tapers are
then lighted, and carols of welcome to
the worlds Redeemer are sung.

WHEN CHRISTMAS WAS FOR
BlDDEN.

The Puritans denounced Christmas
as Popish feast and did not observe
it. During the Commonwealth they
carried objection into force and for
babe the celebration of Christmas.
In 1914 parliament ordered Dec. 25th
strictly kept solemn fast, and that
all people should pass the day in
humbly bemoaning the great national
sin which they and their ancestors
had hitherto committed on that day
by eating boar's head, drinking ale
favored with roasted apples, devour
ing plum buildings and romping under
the mistletoe. For twelve years this
order remained in force.
Municipal authorities also sought to
reduce Christmas Day to the level OF
other days. We are told that Upon
Wednesday, Dec. %, 1647, the cryer OF
Canterbury, by the appointment OF
Master Moier, openly proclaimed that
Christmas Day and all other supersti
tious festivals should be kept upon
Christmas Day.
dral on that day many people were
mobbed. The inhabitants divided
themselves into two parties-the
Christmasites and the anti-C Christmas
ites-and came to blows. "
On Dec. "a, 1852, an order in council
was issued, proclaiming that no OBJ
servation shall be had of the five-and
twentieth day of December, commonly
called Christmas Day, nor any solem
nifty used or exercised in churches
upon that day in respect thereof"
This was simply a approximation
of an edict of 1647, abolishing Christ

the houses of all suspected persons to
search the ovens and larders and carry
away for their own consumption all
seasonable dainties found therein

CHRISTMAS.

The infant lay upon the straw
Soft breathing in His sleep,
And round about the manger stood
The ass, the OK, the sheep;
Gravely they stood in order good
Their faithful watch to keep.
The Star upon that blessed place
It's silver light did pour,
A holy silence filled the air,
And on the earthen floor
Our Lady and ST. Joseph knelt
The Infant to adore.
His bonny hands like rose-petals
All curled and lovely lay,
And the heaving of His little chest
Was light as driven spray;
His eyes were closed, although the
Star
Made night as bright as day.
And then amid that blissful quiet
The far angelic throng
With myriad voices as one voice
Burst into music strong;
Through the wide spaces of the sky
Ran their triumphant song.
Through the wide spaces of the sky
Their song of glory ran
Praise in the highest unto God
And peace on earth to man;
Never before was such hymning
Heard since time began.
Ten thousand thousand golden threats
Joined in that wondrous glee;
A merry thing it was, I ween,
To hear their minstrelsy:
1t made the floor of Heaven to rock
And stilled the loud, loud sea.
At that great noise the Infant stirred,
Then opened wide His eye,
And frightened at that mighty sound
He gave little cry
Cor He was but tiny Child
And knew not help was nigh.
Quickly, quickly His mother rose up
And took Him in her arms
And banished His alarms
With little happy words of love
And soothing mother charms.
Oh, tenderly unto her heart
Our Lady pressed the Child;
Sweet were the words she spoke to
Him
And sweet her glances mild:
He nestled His head upon her breast
And looked at her and smiled.
And then wonder came to pass,
Mute grew those angels all,
And not note from any throat
Came over Heavens wall;
1t was SO still that you might hear
The lightest rose-leaf fall.
Oh, silent, silent, stood that host,
Upon them was great fear,
And every knee in Heaven bent
From hind to highest peer
As tenderly unto her heart
Our Lady pressed her Dear.
oh. once again the chorus rings,
Rolling from east to west,
But now it works Him no annoy
And troubles not His rest;
Softly He closes His eyes and sleeps
Upon His mothers breast.
