predecessors in the various celebra-

The Christmas tree is believed to be
a German institution, but the Romans
celebrated the birth of Christ about
the middle of the Fourth century by
the display of tree decorations, and In
some sections of Europe the festival
was observed by the employment of
pyramids decorated with green twigs
and ornaments. Christmas trees should

ances of the Yu]e-tide festival.

THE INVISIBLE GIFT

THERE'S gift on the Christ
= mas tree that we cannot see,
but we know it's there. There's
something that gives value to
all the rest and we feel II. With
the rich there are fifty gifts to
one baby; with the poor, fifty
babies to one gift; with both
there is this something that
makes an equal happiness, some
thing that gives riches nothing
over and poverty nothing lack
ing. something that gives light
without candles and warmth
without fire. The tree itself
springs from 1t. the Christmas
festival sings Of 1t. We are all
excited by 1t and about 1t. 1t
fills the shops with beautiful
things. gathers crowds to buy
them, hangs garlands In the
windows, carols on the air. 1t
makes the church bells ring and
kindles devoutest worship. 1t is
love that hangs upon the Christ
mas tree. Without the Cross the
Christmas tree had never been.

Tonight. dear Father. may we
truly say, How good It has been
to live in Thy world and under Thy
beneficent laws. know ourselves Thy
children, feel the stir and thrill Of
Thy life as we have applied ourselves
with resolution to our tasks, expert
ience Thy blessing in our hearts as
we have wrestled manfully with evil
propensities within or trials without
that seemed bound to defeat our
good purposes" But II in our lit
tie narrow world OF personal inter

ed and we have been irritable or re-
bellious, oh. grant that, still taught
by Thee, we may see how our selfish
preoccupation has blinded US TO Thy
glory and robbed us Of Thy inspira-

US to live henceforth less unto our
selves and more in sympathy with
all life, and thus find the divine
meaning and joy IN every experience.
