The Heart Of Christmas

Christmas is not day, it is a mood.
1t is independent of days. We cele-
brate it on Friday, Saturday, Sunday
any day of the week. Christmas is
Indifferent to days. It has nothing to
do with the almanac. 1t has nothing
to do with place. 1t is as Independent
of geography as it is of chronology. 1t
has no relation to human government,
or even to race or blood. 1t is an
institution which can be set up on any
soil and under the folds of any flag.
Christmas is a spiritual creation, and
belongs to the kingdom Of the heart.
It is constructed by angels Of the heart
of a child. If it then be a mood, it
can be extended over week, month,
a year, lifetime. 1t can be built upon
time, upon eternity. If you confine it
to a day, you miss the meaning of it.
If you try to cram it into twenty-four
hours, you crush it and lose the es-
sence of it.

women caring for my husbandI"
1--WE get used to it," the doctors
wife said so as not to be disappoint-

was to be a doctors wife. How much
pity one got one didn't deserve, how
much wasted sympathy, how many
deliciously jealous thoughts one in
spired.
1t was Christmas Eve. The doctor
had promised his wife that he would
help her in those many pleasant en-
crossing night-before-Ch Christmas tasks.
She went upstairs to see that the
children were quite asleep when she
heard the telephone ring. She an
swered it, and then heard her hus-
bands voice who was already answer

Something, some curious something,
made her listen.
"Oh DOCTOR" she heard a voice say,
the voice of the one woman who had
lately caused her her first pangs of
jealousy, 81 can't wait another mo-

gone without word Of regret and
with no effort at an excuse.
Late that evening she went out Of the
house. She would see this other wom-
an. She called taxi and hurried off.
'I'm sorry" the maid told her, "but
Madame can see no one" And the
door was shut abruptly.
What would she do? What could
she do? Finally, exhausted after walk

THE FEAST
OF LIGHTS

~HE lights on the tree are said to
W. be OF Jewish origin. In the
month of aKislev, of the Jewish
year, corresponding nearly to our De-
cember, and the twenty-fifth day, Jews
celebrated the feast of dedication Of
their temple. It had been dedicated on
that day by Antiochus. It was dedicated
by Judas Maccabeus, and, according to
Jewish legend, sufficient oil was found
In the temple to last for the seven
branched candlestick for eight days,
and It would have taken eight days to
prepare new oil. Accordingly the Jews
were wont ON the twenty-fifth day Of
Kislev in every house to light can
de. on the next day two, and on the
the eighth and last day Of the feast,
eight candles twinkled In every house.
=; It IL not very easy to fix the ex-
act date Of the Nativity, but it fell
msst probably on the last day Of Kis-
lev, when every Jewish house in Beth
lehem and Jerusalem was twinkling
with lights. 1t is worthy Of note that
