WONDERFUL SPIRIT OF GIVING

Another year is nearing its close and
with its ending comes that glad time,
the Christmas holiday season. The abb
sent ones are home again or If they
cannot come there are the letters and
tokens to be sent and received. The
remembrance need not be expensive
as TO money value, to be very much
appreciated.
Christmas is pre-eminently the chill
dren's day. Do not insist that Santa
will not remember them If they are not
good. For we all know that Santa
Claus will surely come and the chill
dren know it, too. He did not forget
us in our own childhood whether we
were very, very good or not. Let us
teach the children about the wonderful
spirit of loving and giving that brings
a happy Christmas time.

OPPOSED TO CHRISTMAS PIE

The Puritans were not alone in
their opposition to mince or Christmas
pie. The Quakers also fought against
it, and at length even many good peo-
pie of the Church of England began
to think that clergymen should abstain
from it, against which prejudice Bick-
erstaffe thus demonstrates: 1.-THE
Christmas pie is, in it's own nature,
a kind of consecrated cake or badge
of distinction, and yet it is often for
hidden the druid of the family.
Strange that srloin of beef, whether
boiled or roasted, when entire is ex-
posed to the utmost depredatlons and
invasions, but If minced into small
pieces and tossed up with plums and
sugar it changes the property, and for
sooth is meat for his master"

FIRST CHRISTMAS OBSERVANCE

Il is said that Christmas was tirst
observed in the year 9S and that 1t was
not until the year 1877 that 1t was made
solemn feast. Pope Telesphorus de-

all Christians In that year. On one
early Christmas day the Roman En-

Christians assembled in their. church
were engaged in celebrating the birth
of Christ, commanded that the doors
of the church be closed and the build
