Answer-N you assume that pain

tom of kidney trouble you are sad
ly misinformed. Pain in that s;tu-
alton il very rarely felt by persons
who really have kidney trouble.

pimples and blackheads much Of

Of some sexual disturbance!

Answer-No. That is one Of the
old fashioned fish-wife supersri-

LAST OF THE TWELVE days.
Epiphany, Originally, Was Celebrated
Rather Than Christmas, Accord .
Ing to Some Authorities.

ATPIPHANY Is the last day Of
the "Twelve Days" Of which
Christmas Is the first. Au-
- thOritles on this subject tell
us that originally 1t was
Epiphany which wns celebrated rather
than Christmas. It was the baptlsm
of Jesus (or the spiritual blrth) which
Interested the early church fathers
rather than Christmas (or the physical
birth). In some circles in early Chris
tianity the baptism appears to have
been looked upon as the true birth of
Christ, the moment when, filled by the
spirit, He became the Son of God.
For some time the two events were
celebrated together on January q.
Gradually the western church began
TO stress the physical birth, and even
tually the two events were celebrated
separately, December % being fixed
upon as the date for the Nativity. In
the East the celebration Of the two
events continued for some time after
the separate feast Of Christmas had
been instituted. The Church of Jeru-
salem stood out until the Seventh CEN
tury, refusing to adopt the new feast
The Armenian church knows nothing
OF December %. and still celebrates
the Nativity with the Epiphany in
january. Epiphany is grenter festi-
val in the Greek church than Christ
mas.
Such in bare. outline is the story of
the spread Of Christmas as separate
festival.
