PAGANS STARTED
XMAS PRACTICES
Nearly All We Observe on
Holiday Is Received From
Others and Made
Sacred.

Many OF the most important SYM.
hols and practices OF Christmas obsery-
anee are of distinctly pagan origin, the
result OF the early church reconcillng
heather converts by adopting the more
harmless features OF their festivities.
Nobody knows anything definite
about the origin OF Christmas ia u fes.
tivgl time, who first celebrated it. or
when or how. Nobody knows Il Dec.
70 is the right anniversary OF Christ's
birth.
Celebration OF birthdays was consid-
cred heathenish by early Christians.
md IL Vas not until otter 3il A.. D..
that an investigation wus made into the
date VI Christs birth by order OF fope
julius. This set the date at Dec. rs.
although many sections celebrated Jan.
.. April 70. March 20 and May ~.
Pope julius set the date Us Dee. %.
and established the festival at Rome
On that date. This j. the date OF the
winter s%olstice. when winter begins To
decline toward spring. which for cen.
turies before Christ had been celebrated
by Druids and other pagans as the
chief festival OF the year.
Mlstletoc was an object Of special
veneration with the Druids. and was
gathered with great ceremony In De.
cembcr. II survived In Christmas Oh.
with The kissing u relic of
the Saturnalht OF the ancionts.
The Yule Log OF old England began
IN the Druidlc bonfires celebrating the
Iule festival.

A CHRISTMAS SONG

The Christmas stars shine in the sky
The world is hushed To hear
The angels song.
BY heavenly thrcng.
On peace that draweth near
Where famine stalks in distant lands
Wars banner is unfurled,
oh, Prince of Peace,
Bring quick release,
To such a weary world.
Comes back the answer through the
night,
While angels stoop to hear.
Sing ICE again.
OF peace TO men.
That earth no more may fear.
When men as brothers, walk with me
When men as brothers pray.
Earth swells the song,
The heavenly throng
Sang that first Christmas Day"
