The old Cherry Tree carol, or
the legend upon which it is based,
is undoubtedly the reason for the
custom of placing a branch of cherry
tree in water to bud for Christmas
time.
According to this legend, Mary
and Joseph on their way to Beth
lehem passed a tree loaded with
cherries. Mary was hungry for some
of the fruit and asked Joseph to
pluck some cherries for her. The
tree graciously bowed down so that
Mary could pick the fruit herself.
1t has been customary among the
Czechs and Slovaks to take the
branch of a cherry tree and place it
in water in the late fall so that the
buds reach the poisoning stage
at Christmas time.
The belief was current that if the
sprig blossomed by Christmas Eve,
the girl who tended it would marry
during the New Year.

Christmas Nsif to
The Seven Eountaius

In 1910 when a plague was rag
ing in Switzerland, IL pious men of
Rheinfelden formed a brotherhood
to pray for st. ~Sebastian's aid, and
to nurse the sick and bury the dead.
Pestilence in medieval times was
ascribed to evil spirits in water, so
the Brotherhood of st. Sebastian Wis
tied each of the towns seven foun-
tains, praying and singing hymns at
each stop. They still continue this
custom, but only on Christmas Eve.
For this ritual the IL Brothers are
dressed in black, with black silk
top hats. At every fountain they
gather around the lantern-bearer
and sing a medieval song. The
march begins at the Froschweide
fountain, where the plague is sup
posed to have started three GEN.
turtles ago. When they have passed
the seventh, they enter the church
for midnight mass, and ceremoni-
ously place their lantern on the al
tar of st. Sebastian.

Danger From Tree
Fire EUer Present

Although the Christmas tree is
one of the most picturesque Yule'
tide ornaments, it is also one of the
most dangerous, with the threat Of
fire an ever present possibility.
Replacement of the candle by the
electric light has removed some Of
the hazards formerly experienced,
but danger still turks from faulty
connections or careless handling OF
bulbs and strings.
To minimize the fire hazard, the
department of agriculture offers
two pertinent suggestions: First,
keep the tree well watered and,
second, freproof it with ammonium
sulphate or calcium chloride.
To provide the tree with sufficient
water, cut the butt on a slant at
least an inch above the original cut.
Keep the water level above the
slashed surface. In purchasing a
tree, always look for one that has
been felled recently so that the
needles have not dried.
Fresh trees also are essential for
fame-proofng. In using ammonium
sulphate, a chemical content one
fourth the weight of the tree should
be used. After d~issolving n and a
half pints of the ammonium in a
pound of water, slash the stem Of
the tree and place it in the solution.
Then, let the tree stand four to six
days in the solution for complete
absorption. Trees fireproofed in this
manner will not be ignited by an
electric spark.

What Is "Inspived
Democracy"

THE WORD DEMOCRACY has
suffered nauch discredit from two
causes. First, it has been misus-
ed and twisted by extremists of
right and left who have made it by
turns butt for their jibes and
cloak for their totalitarian aims.
Second, it has sometimes stood
for nothing much except ineffici
ency because we, who inherited
the benefits of democracy, have
failed to live in a way that makes
democracy possible.
For democracy in it's true sense
can only be made up of those who
deliberately prefer the good Of the
whole to their own selfishness. It's
essence is not the wide sharing of
privilege but the wide sharing U.
responsibility. The strength of
democracy is thus the strength of
human character. But the evil
dence Of history teaches that, even
at it's best, human character is
not enough.
And SO today we must look be-
You'd the purely human concep-
ton of democracy to the further
vision of an inspired democracy in
which every individual not only
contributes his own best but is
also instructed and guided by God
Himself.
Inspired democracy will not
come about by the action of a few
leaders appealing to the self
interest of the masses, playing
down to human nature instead of
pointing men to their true destiny.
It can and will come to the leaders
and to the millions of ordinary
people and families through the
new quality of life and the new
teamwork which God gives to
those who listen to Him and obey
Him.
In an inspired democracy every
individual enjoys to the full the
perfect freedom" of obedience to
the still small voice of God-free-
dom to realize his highest ideals
and the best that is in him. In
an inspired democracy every in
dividual, whatever his background
or brain power, has an equal
chance of playing a decisive part.
For everyone can listen to God.
And everyone whose heart is will
ing can be used by God here and
now in the remaking of the world.

Sees Boomerang
In Arab Threats

BOSTON (JPS-Palcor) = The
Syrian and Iraqi Governments
recent warning to Jewish minori-
ties in those countries to repudi-
ate Zionisrn or face dire conse-
quences may boom e a n 6
against the Arabs, according to
the Christian Science Monitor.
"There can be little doubt that
declarations Of loyalty will be
forthcoming from the Jews in the
Arab countries and that the
Jews will comply with the de-
mands of their Arab Govern
ments," the paper says. Warn
ings of this kind have an omin-
Gus meaning in the Middle East
which has a record of harsh deal
ings with dissenting minorities,
as the treatment of Armenians in
Turkey and of the Assyrians in
Iraq shows.
''The forcing of anti-Zionist re-
solutions from the Middle East
Jews may strengthen the Zionist
position to a certain extent and
boomerang against the Arabs.
One of the main arguments of the
Zionists against the proposal OF
Transforming Palestine into an
Arab state, with minority rights
for the Palestine Jews, is that
the Arab record in relations with
minorities is tainted by violence
and coercion" the Monitor says.
