WHEN CHRISTMAS WAS YOUNG
To Understand Mysteries of the Yule-
tide, 1t Is Necessary to Search
Ancient History.

SNY IN the midst Of the rush and
SNq Il excitement of Christmas
E&ILG preparations certain ques-
&&S4f.S tions will flash across the
mind, and we find ourselves
wondering why it is that we do the
very same things Christmas after
Christmas. Why do we hang stock
ings, light Christmas trees, trim our
homes and have plum pudding?
To understand the origin of these
customs we must wander far back
into the forgotten past-ages before
Julius Caesar set foot on British soil,
or ST. Augustine told the story Of the
Cross to the men Of Kent. Hundreds
Of years agO-lOng before the year l
the ancientS, as we call the peODle
of those times, all worshiped the sun,
the great giver of light and life. In
the month Of March they built big
fires to it, asking it to shine upon the
seeds they had planted and warm
them into life. In the autumn they
held another festival, thanking the
sun for the harvest, and again. in the
winter time, they held the greatest
festival of all to celebrate the coming
of the springtime.
In ancient Egypt, in Assyria, in
Greece, on Roman soil and in the
northlandS these festivals were cele-
brated year after year and always
about the same time, the winter one
being held about New Years time.
Wherever the Roman eagle was
found, this feast was called the Sat
urnalia and it was marked by univer-
sal license and good feeling.
All at once Christianity appeared
upon the scene. AS the policy of the
early church was to reconcile heather
converts to the new faith by adopting
some of the heather customs and fes-
tivals, the new religion accepted and
retained many, and the result, as Is
easily seen, has been the strange
medley Of pagan and Christian rites
which we use at Christmas time to-
day.
After Britain was ChristianiZed by
the Romans, the Saxons and northern
tribes came, bringing their old north
ern rites, and as Christianity at last
replaced paganism the Christians kept
the old pagan rites, merely changing
their meaning.
For many years no two lands cele-
brated the same day as the birthday
of Christ. They did not know the
exact day, and we do not know 1t;
but this date has now become the
most important one In the worlds
history.

T Y7X@1DWARD S. MARTIN, who is
SS\4&E[S never happier than when
SNSdE)S writing about children had
L4SxN a characteristic article in
the Metropolitan Magazine
entitled christmas and Children" In
the course of its lines Mr.. Martin in
troduceS a suggestion that is extreme
ly unpleasant but he clears it away de-
lightfully. He says:
Consider, if there were to be a
lapse of new babies for even SO short
a time as ten years, Santa Claus would
fade out of active existence and be-
come a mere tradition to be read
about in books. a failure of the
infant crop for fifteen years would
result in the decay CT the habit of
hanging up stockings, and only an
tiquarians would any longer take the
course, In such an unthinkable cOn-
tingency as that our world would be in
such a desperate state Of detection
that it would have no fun, though it
would go through the motions of eX-
istence from habit. But the kind Of
Christmas keeping we are used to
would be knocked on the head That
lasts simply and solely because there
are children. The people who have
the children maintain the current
Christmas practices for their chill
dren's sake, the older children main
tain them for their own sake, and the
folks who have no children keep them
up for old times sake and because it
Is the custom Of the country.
"What an intolerable suggestion that
Is, of there being no children to be had
under fifteen years old; no babies to
blink and coo at the Christmas tree
candles; no fve-year-Olds to come
downstairs in their nightgowns after
their stockings; no seven-year-Olds to
wake up everyone in the house hours
before breakfast; no ten-year-olds to
sit at the Christmas board and be
warned against over-indugence in
plum pudding. No consuming interest
In dolls and no market for them; no
laborious searching of the toy shops,
and harassing indecision whether to
get the same old toys or the new ones;
no active concern about jack knives
and sleds and roller skates. No hav-
ing in-but it is much too awful to
go on about. Let us be devoutly thank
full that it is only an awful idea with
out basis; that there are lots and lots
of children in commission, of all kinds
and ages, and myriads more coming,
whatever croaks there may be about
race suicide"
