Christmas Cards Have Long History
Though Custom Of Sending Them
Has Been Popular Less Than Century
BY 10 ELLEN KELLER

The sending out of Christmas
cards is one of the pleasantest,
lfriendliest customs of Christmas.
1t is a warm, colorful link between
friends nearby or over the miles.
1t would seem to most of us who
take for granted the sending of
greetings, that Christmas cards
have just always existed. Actual
lily it has been less than one hun
dred years since the first card was
sent out.
The earliest known holiday greet
ling card is a woodcut of Santa
Claus printed in the Rhine Valley
in Germany in 1450. In countries
of plenty, Santa took on 3 robust
appearance, and early drawings
show him riding horse with a
basket of gifts for good children on
one side, and a stern bundle of
birch on the other for those who
had been naughty. In all corners
of the globe. Santa remains one
of the favorite symbols of Christ
mas on greeting cards.
The first known Christmas card
lin the English language was de-
signed in London in 1912 in London
by William Nav Egley, sixteen
lyear-old engraving apprentice. H.
Illustrations on this car were scenes
Iof formal banquet, party dance
and skaters. Beneath the illuStra-
tons is the legend "a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year
To You" still the most popular
of all Yuletide greetings.
In 1876, Sir Henry Cole asked his
artist friend, J. c. HorSely, to de-
sign a card for him showing a
family toasting the Christmas sea
son with glasses Of wine. However
Temperance groups took such is
sue with this greeting that Sir Hen
ry never again sent a card.
1t was 1874 before first Christ
mas cards appeared in America.
In that year Louis Prang of Bos-
ton produced in his Autograph shop
the first commercial Christmas
card. II was famous for its beau
ty and fine craftsmanship, and
within the next few years his de.
signs began to sell throughout the
United States. Ever since then the
Christmas card has become q fun
damental holiday tradition.

Leaders Report Gain in Tithing
For Support of u. S. Churches

U. s. A., reported more than
500 churches had asked to- be
used as pilot churches In tithing
experiments.
A Presbyterian pastor, the Rev.
Brewer Burnett Of Scranton, Pa,
said the number of tithing fam
lilies in his congregation had In
creased from 20 to so.
DR.. S. T, Ludwig OF Kansas
City, Mo-, general secretary of
the Church Of the Nazarene, told
delegates the practice had be-
come almost universal in his de-
nomination, although it is not
a test of membership.
Tithing Churches at Top.
According to DR.. Thompson,
those churches which practice
tithing rank at or near the top
in the average annual contribu-
ton of their members.
Last year, for example, Seventh
Day Adventists gave an average
of $157.80 to their church, and
Church Of the Nazarene mem
bers, $111.76. These denomina-
tions ranked second and fifth
highest. respectively, among all
American Protestant churches in
per capita contributions.
The Free Methodist Church
had the highest per capita an
nual contribution-$194.79
These figures dwarf the $34.32
contributed last year by the av-
erage American church-goer.
DR.. Thompson listed nine de-
nominations that recently have
begun to put emphasis on tith-
ing. They are the Presbyterian
Church in the U. S, A., the Pres
byterian Church in the u. S.
(Southern), Evangelical United
Brethren Church, American Bap-
fist Convention, Southern Bap-

tan Churches.
In addition. said DR.. Tholnp-
son, the Methodist Church. is
planning to promote tithing on
a Nationwide scale next year.
Some tithing plans provide
for tithing projects to be held
only for part Of each year
usually for a month or a quarter.
Taxes Emphasize Gifts.
DR.. Thompson feels one reason
for the increase in tithing is the
modern income tax, but not
merely because of exemptions
allowed for contributionS-al-
though they help.
He thinks that when a man
figures his tax, he sees plainly
how much he is giving to his
church. Sometimes he realizes
the proportion is woefully small.
Tithing is Almost as old as
organized society itself. The Old
Testament tells of early Hebrews
paying civil tithes to their rulers
and of carrying the first fruits
Of their land to the House of
Yahveh.
Tithes for the support of the
clergy eventually came to be
recognized and made enforceable
by civil law in the Western world.
And in the 10th century, the
Council of Trent excommun1-
Gated those who refused to pay
them.

sands, perhaps millions, OF
church members will make a
regular practice Of giving one
tenth of their income to the
church.
The ancient practice Of tith-
ing is coming back as a method
of supporting Gods work. these
leaders say.
According to the Rev. T. K.
Thompson, executive director Of
the department of stewardship
and benevolence of the National
Council of Churches, tithing is
"a great new re-discovery Of this
generation Of Christians"
DR.. Thompson predicted it
would become decisive aspect
of church support in the next
10 years and could become a
permanent part Of church sup

Leaders Report Increase.
Reports on it's increase were
made by religious leaders at a
recent meeting of DR.. Thomp-

DR.. James G. Patton, jr., Of
Decatur, Ga, secretary of the
General Council, Presbyterian
