HANGING UP THE STOCKING
Time Honored Christmas Custom
Dates Back To The Days OF
st. Nicholas OF Padua

From Italy comes the legend from
which we are supposed to get the
time-honored custom of hanging up
the Christmas stocking.
Good old st. Nicholas OF Padua
used to throw long knitted purses
tied at both ends into the open
windows of the very poor people.
These purses were made OF yarn
not unlike footless stocking. FL
nally it became the custom of the
people to hang them outside of their
window on the night before Christ
mas, so that st. Nicholas could put
a gift into them as he passed by.
BY and by, when coin became scarce,
toys were put in for the children,
and useful presents for grown
people. In the North country where
it was rather chilly at Christmas
time, the purses were hung on the
mantelpiece, and it was believed that
the good old saint would come
down the chimney and fill them.
When these purses were out of use,
stockings were substituted and have
been used ever since.

T}HE OBSERVANCE OF
CHRISTMAS

The observance of December 25 as
the anniversary of our Savior's
BIRTH has been maintained long
enought to create presumption in
the jbelief that it is an original in
stit'ltion of Christendom. Never
thssless, the Oldest authority for the
observance of that day as the birth
day of Christ belongs to an epoch
separated by a distance of three
centuries from the original event,
and the festival itself was celebrated
ON December rs in the West before
it was assigned to that day in the
East.
1t is certain that in A. d. 1886,
December 25 was observed in Rome
as the Festival of the Nativity of
Christ. The authority for this
statement is Festival calendar
drawn up by the local church at
Rome in that year.
EARLY in the Third century,. e.,
about 1870 years before the COM
pilation Of this festival calendar
Hippolytus, Bishop of Portus, had
assigned Wednesday, December rs,
in the forty-second year OF the reign
OF Augustus, as the date OF our
Lords birth.

HOLLY AND MIsTLEToE

Holly grows in almost every
country, and because of its thorns
and it's blood-red berries was asso-
ciated, centuries ago, with the
Passion of Christ.
Mistletoe, which grows on OAK
trees, used to be held sacred by
pagans because the oak was sup
posed to be the symbol OF their god
Thor.
AT the time of the great pagan
winter festivals it was customary to
decorate with all kinds OF green
things. When people became Chris
tians they held onto some OF the
old customs and continued to
decorate their homes and places OF
worship with greenery.
Holly, which was easily secured at
Christmas time, naturally became q
favorite, and the mistletoe failed to
be forgotten, though it is not used
in churches because it was once SO
closely allied with pagan ceremonies

sary of Christ's birth.
Celebration of birthdays was con
sidered heathenish by early Chris

A. D. that an investigation was made
into the date of Christ's birth by
order of Pope Julius. This set the
date at December 20, although many
sections celebrated January q, April
20, March 29 and May 20.
Pope Julius set the date a.

BIRDS AND ANIMALS SHARE
CHRISTMAS

Christmas is not merely a festival
celebrated by and for man alone.
Among the folk lore of other coun-
tries are several qaint stories in
which animals and birds give evil
dence of their alteration. A we'll
known Bosnian legend offers a YER
sion OF world adoration-they claim
that on the holy day 1.-The sun in the
east bowed down, the stars stood
still: the mountains and forests
shook and touched the earth with
their SUBMITS, and the green pine
tree bent; the grass was befiowereG
with the opening of blossoms; in
cense sweet as myrrh pervaded up
land and forest; birds sang on the
mountain tops and all gave thanks
to the great God"
In Bosnia on Christmas day a
sheaf Of rye is put into the birds
nests and bird houses for the birds
Christmas A stranger, stranded in
a Michigan town was once startled
to see sheaf of rye in bird box.
He knew Immediately that one of his
kind lived there and was keeping
Christmas in the old way.
An old Indian legend tells us that
on Christmas night all the deer in
the forest kneel in alteration before
the Great Spirit. Woe to him, how
ever, who tries to spy upon them.
He is punished with perpetual stiff
ening of the knees.
Many people of the old world
claim that on Christmas night
animals are gifted with speech, but
none must trespass or eavesdrop.

PhiladelDhia

In the Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin of December 5, in an article
written on General Butler, director
of Police, the General is described
concerning prohibition as follows;
When he came to Philadelphia.
while he made no secret of the fact
that he was no prohibitSonist, he an
nounced his platform as one of law
enforcement because a law was a
law whether you liked it or not.
He states: "Since then I've seen the
kind of peole who are back Of rum,
and I'm not going to be ranged on
the same side with scum like that.
am for law enforcement because
prohibition is the law. This job has
made me into a believer in. pro-
hibition"
That is the reason that l am for
prohibition, because cannot range
with scum like that"
