In the early days Of the Christian
religion Il was one OF the most NOV
able OF feasts, being often con-
founded with the Epiphany and cele'
brated by the eastern churches In
April and May. In the Fourth century
the urgency Of St. Cyril OF Jerusalem
obtained from Pope julius l. an
order for an investigation to he
made concerning the day OF Christ's
nativity. The result OF the Inquiry,
made by theoIoglans OF the Fast and
the West. was an agreement upon the
twenty-fifth of December
As told in the gospel Of ST. Luke,
Christ was born In the night. There
fore. divine service is performed on
the night Of December 24-25. II Is
the custom in Roman Catholic
churches TO usher In Christmas day
by the celebration OF three masses,
one at midnight. the second at early
dawn. and the third in the morning.
This custom dates from the sixth
century.
Preparatory to Christmas the bells
are rung at midnight throughout Eng
land and the continent After the
solemn celebration Of the mass in the
churches Of the continent, which are
mngnIncently adorned for the festival

change was by no means confined to these. u. S.
Steel common reached its high point for the year and
distinct advances were made by Bethlehem and Re
public among the independents. The fact that Beth
ienem showed evidence of earning its dividend during
this quarter when most other companies running
behind was a distinct factor in its favor.
Studebaker trading way one OF the features of the
week, reaching high of 3-8. The fact that
the allied governments denied any possibility of a
settlement of the indemnity question the basis
proposed had practically no effect upon the market.
