~ Fondly back to its fairy days
Days that saw Him whose splendor burns
Bright through eras of murk and maze
Back to the Star whose speaking rays
Wise men spied as 1t bsckoned them
Over Judea's winding ways-
Back TO the Babe OF Bethlehem!
Christmas comes, and the old heart goes
Gayly back to the dear days past
Days whose breath of the budding rose
Scents the years that have followed
fast:
BACK to the Star whose spell WAS cast
Over young eyes and dazzled them,
Filling rapt youth with a wonder vast
Back to the Babe of Bethlehem!
Christmas comes and the old faith lives
Summoned back from the days gone
by
Days begemmed with the JOY that gives
Mortals balm for their sob and sigh:
Back Is the Star in the smiling sky.
Pilgrims haste as II urges them
On 10 the haven ever nigh
Back to the Babe of Bethlehem!
Christmas come. when the world shall 20
Bounding back TO the best of days
Days when He in q manger low

CUSTOMS AND THEIR ORIGINS
Numerous YuIstids Ideas Are Relics
Of Pagan Observance, Especially
Those Of Druidism.

~ ANY Christmas customs are
NO relics of pagan observances.
especially those Of Druidism,
the religious system Of the ancient
Gsuls and Britons. Groves Of oaks
were their chosen retreat. and today
the acorn is found as Christmas
symbol on some Christmas greetings
although 1t Is not used as much as
formerly.
Druidism considered mistletoe most
sacred, and when growing on an oak
tree. parasite as 1t is. 1t was cut with
q golden knife by 4 priest clad In a
white robe and two white bulls were
sacrificed on the spot.
The Yule log in England is y relic
of Druidism. Its name Is considered
4 corruption Of wheel log" wheel
In Druidical symbolism typlfying the
march Of the sun. The lighting OF
the Yule log harks back to the sacred
fires kindled by the Druids at mid
winter In the round towers which yei
remain In many parts Of Great Brit
ain. Ireland. France and Spain. Ths
use Of the Christmas tree has descend
ed from the German Druids. The
dressing Of the tree with candles ant
presents was feature Of their mid
winter festival.
Ivy Is not used for Christmas dec
orations, as 1t was once sacred tt
Bacchus and constituted almost tn,
sole leafy adornment at the Romar
saturnalia. The early Christian clergy
desiring to wean the people from thei
pagan practice as far as possible, for
bade the use of ivy, and the preceden
still obtains.
In medieval Europe peacock wa.
the favorite dish for Christmas din
ner. After being skinned carefully
the bird was cooked. Then the ski
with the plumage intact was replaced
and the bird served in a manner n
nearly as possible resembling real

CHRISTMAS CAROL
Music and Song Always Associ-
ated With the Yuletide.
ORIGINAL Sacred Character Of Carols
Was Almost Lost Sight OF In
Thirteenth Century.

~ USIC and song have always been
KID associated with Christmas.
In Roman Catholic countries
as early as the Third century, 1t be-
came the custom 10 usher in the
Christmas festivities with musical
masses.
The practice of singing carols or
canticles was supposed to recall the
'ln Excelsis Gloria" OF the angels. and
the song of the shepherds on the
first Christmas night.
A very old carol, published in 1921.
gives an amusing description of church
revelres:
A wooden child in cIouts on the altar sat.
About the which both boys and girls do
dance and timely jet,
And carols sing In praise of Christ.
The priests do roar aloud
And round about the parents stand
To see the sport. and with their voice
Do help them. and with hand.
At first, carols We're generally re-
ligious in character. and We're written
with Latin and English words in al
ternate lines, or with a Latin refrain
The well-known carol
When Christ was born of Mary free
In Bethlehem, that fair elite,
Angels sang with mirth and gles
In ENcelsis Gloria.
and another with chorus,
Christus natus hodis
The babe. the son.
The holy one
or Mary.
are good examples OF this class.
When the tendency to ribaldry be-
came marked, some OF the carols got
to be very peculiar In subject and
language Joseph is treated with a
great want of respect. for one carol
runs:
Joseph was old man.
An old man was he.
When he welded Mary.
The Maid of Galilee.
Another relates the story Of tho
shepherds watching their hocks by
night:
A shepard upon a hill he satt.
He had on him hys tabard and hiatt.
Hys tarbox. hys pipe and hys haSau:
Hys name was called Joly-Joly Watt
Having been Informed Of the birth
Of Christ, the shepherd sets of for
Bethlehem. and on arriving says:
Jhesu! on Thee my pype.
Ny skyrts. my tarbox and my Bcrype.
Home to my fellows now will I skyps.
And loke unto my shepe.
In the Thirteenth century the sa-
cred character of these Christmas
songs was almost entirely lost sight
of. The Puritan parliament abolished
Christmas and carols altogether. but
feastins and revelry returned with the
Restoration.
Carol singing. which had fallen into
disuse, was revived by collection Of
carols published by D. Gilbert, in 1922.
but caroling. which was formerly
ushered In by the Ginning of church
bells. and the sallying forth Of choirs
which chanted their way round vii
lages until their thrOats were hoarse
and their noses red from cold and
friendly Christmas pOtations. is now
almost thing of the past.-Tit Bits.
