COLORADO THE IDEAL

It's there where so many sight seers 60

What gold and silver those large noun

VIII amaze you when of it you are

And the rich soil around irrigated

Are wonders that appear as if in

The hills are purpIcd with pretty coIum-

gone on the reef at the very full of
the tide. We could not have timed our
accident worse; for at low tide the
reef would undoubtedly be only . or

mushroomed out just sufficiently wide

the first century. Brethren" wrote
that apostolic father. keep diligent-
~ feast-days and truly in the first
place the day of Christ's birth" A
little later, from the writing of an
other early Roman bishop, we learn
that it was ordained early in the
, second century that in the holy
night of the nativity of our Lord and
Savior. they do celebrate public
church services and in them solemnly
sing the Angels Hymn, because also
the same night He was declared unto
the shepherds by an angel, as the
truth itself doth witness
Originally it il believed the religious
| festivals were timed TO serve as sub
stitutes for pagan celebrations
throughout the year, and We're not
fixed in accordance with the true
dates of the events commemorated.
Christmas. it is generally agreed, was
first celebrated ON December % to
take the place of the Winter SolstiCe,
the most important of the pagan
festivals which was held in honor of
the return of the sun 70" the year
or the beginning of what appeared
to be its gradual ascent in the horizon.
The northern nations, including the
SaXons. held at the same time their
largest feast. which they called Yule
or julie, and which is supposed by
some to have been in honor of the god
Thor, and by others to have been
the same as the Winter solstice
Other peoples, including the Romans,
Greeks, MeXicans, PerSians, Chinese,
etc, are known to have had practi-
Cally the same sort of holiday season
at the same time, so it is probable
that the custom was one Of very
ancient origin.
During these feasts, masters and
slaves were considered on an equality,
the former serving the latter. One
record states: THE Emperor Nero
himself is known to have presided
at the Saturnalia the Winter solstice
of the Romans) having been made
by lot the Rex bibendi, or master of
the revels Indeed, it was at one of
these festivals that he instigated the
murder of the young Prince Britain
nicuS, the last male descendant of the
family of the Claudio, who had been
expelled from his rights by violence
and crime; and the atrocious act was
committed amid the revels over which
Nero was presiding as master"

others say it is Il corruption of Gule,

The story of that first celebration,
when the Angles and the Morning
Stars sang those first Christmas car
OILS" and the Shepherds fastened TO
the rude stable, or cave, in Bethlehem
where they found the Babe in the
Manager, is one which we may he quite
certain has been retold countless times
during the l 800 hundred anniversaries
that have followed upon the epochal
event, but the many strange human
elements that have mingled with the
comparatively unchanging divine serv
ices of the day, would, if they were
all recounted. give side lights of rare
interest upon perSonageS and hap
penings of historical importance, as
we'll as upon significant changes in
civilizations trend.
The event claims the attention of
both scientists and historians,
whether or not they accept its relig-
ious significance, for astronomers
verify the biblical accounts of the
sudden and temporary appearance of
the Star of Bethlehem. and history
has no other birthday in all her an
nails upon which has been based

of the globe. The fact that the
actual date of Christ's birth, both in
point of day and year, is still a mat

the Importance thus attached to it
by practically all nations and sectS.
