Christmas Program.


The Birch Creek Community club
met at the Maple Grove schoolhouse
Friday evening, Dec. Is, and a full
house of interested people enjoyed
a Christmas program and party
The program given was as follows:
Songs by club, "Adeste Fidelis" and
20 Little Town of Bethlehem" talk,
Keeping Christ in Christmas" Miss
Edith Melander. In this talk she
pointed out that as one celebrates
the greatest birthday the world has
ever known, it is altogether fitting
that much should be made ready in
the home, church, school and else
where, but in spite of all the "busy-
ness" one must not leave Christ out
or the meaning and purpose of Christ
mas is lost-for if Christ, the greatest
gift God has given to man had not
come, there would be no Christmas
to celebrate. And surely when one
celebrates the birthday of a person
he likes to have that person in his
festivity, and so if people are to cele-
brate Christ's birthday Alright, He
must be permitted to be with in the
celebration. 1t behooves people to
be careful how they spell Christmas

Christmas in America.

Less than hundred years ago,
Christmas was not even a legal hol-
iday in parts of the United States.
Massachusetts, did not legalize it un-
til 1856. In many churches it was
not recognized as feast day as late
as the Civil war. It did not enter
most of the Sunday schools until the
sixties" In 1853, a young girl
complained in her diary that "the old
Puritan feeling prevents it from being
cheerful, hearty holiday"
The Puritans who came to Amer
lea hated and feared Christmas. In
England, the rich mobiles gave Christ
mas parties which lasted for weeks
A Lord of Misrule" ran them. He
threw all regular behavior into re-
verse for the holidays: Servants
bossed their masters and children
their parents. Much of this gaiety
was innocent but the Puritans thought
it dissipated. They renowned the
religious part of Christmas because
it was in the calendar of the Estab-
ished Church which they had fled
In the South, Christmas had from
the start warmer welcome. Captain
John Smith celebrated it with the
Indians in Virginia. In slavery days,
an old English custom turned up. The
negroes, like the English servants,
were given extraordinary liberties.
For weeks, much of their work was
suspended and they were allowed to
60 visiting. In Missouri the Lord
of Misrule" crops up again in the
"schoolmaster's riot" when pupils
threw their teacher out of the school,
room. In South Carolina, firecrack-
ers became part of Christmas cele-
bration. At Mount Vernon soon after
the revolution, there were magnificent

The evergreen is recognized as the
official Christmas tree because it
keeps its color throughout the year,
and each tip of branch bears the sign
of the cross.
Decorating the Christmas tree is no
doubt an outgrowth of the Roman
practice of hanging golden masks of
Bacchus on vines. AS they oscillated,
the Romans believed they were bless
ing each member of the household.
Europeans brought fruit boughs and
forced them into bloom for the Christ
mas festivities Gilded nuts, with
the meats removed and notes of
cheer inserted, are hung on the tree.
