FAMOUS FABLES
PLEDGED: Although short,
BY E. E. EDGAR

PLEDGED: Although short
story master o. Henry earned a
comfortable income from writ
ing. he was almost always broke
Every time his funds ran out, he
would persuade magazine edi-
tors to advance money on a
future story.
At one time he owed stories to
almost every national magazine
and was still without o dime.
During this period, he engaged
a literary agent to sell a story
for him, in the hope that the
agent could find an editor to
whom o. Henry was not in debt.
The agent went to every mag
azine editor in New York. Each
was willing to take the story.
but insisted that 1t was already
paid for. At the end Of the day,
the agent protested:

Americanized
St. Nicholas

The original Santa Claus was
81. Nicholas, a 4th-century bishop
in Asia Minor who gave gifts to
the young and poor. But the leg
endary patron of children has un-
dergone striking changes of robe,
beard, personality and transporta-
ton as he drove through the ages.
The American Santa, rotund and
ruddy aboard his reindeer sleigh,
evolved from the st. Nicholas of
Dutch colonists in New York. The
transformation reached full stat
ure in DIR. elem ent Clarke
Moore's classic, "A Visit from st.
Nicholas" in 1928.
Greeting cards are an English
contribution. Two of the first
cards-designed in the 1840's but
not generally sold for two decades
bore an identical message still
most widely used today: "a Mer-
ry Christmas and a Happy New
Year to You"
The tree tradition goes back to
the 8th-century missionary, St.
Boniface, who persuaded the
Teutons to transfer their worship
of Odin's sacred oak to the more
symbolic evergreen, decorated in
honor of the Christ Child's birth.

BY MYRTLE WORST sHEPPARI

BY MYRTLE WORST SHEPPARD
A humble man was he,
Yet proud, standing
Beside her and the Child
AS Wise Men came anc offered
Frankincense and nlyrrh;
Not fully comprehending why
He had been chosen for the role
Of foster-father to the Son of
God;
Telling himself that any lowly
shepherd there
Might play the part as worthily
as he.
Turning to her, he marveled at
her beauty,
Watched her brush her lips
Across the Babes pink cheek.
Then, as the Child looked up,
He caught his breath in quick sur
prise
At the deep wisdom mirrored in
His eyes.
Il am not worthy, LOrdl" he
cried.
Within the secret chambers of his
heart.
Sensing his deep concern,
The Maid in Blue lifted her head.
Fear not, for thou hast sove!"
She said.

Two Feasts

Two feasts of great significance
follow closely after Christmas.
The very next day, December 26,
is the feast of st. Stephen, Dea-
con, first martyr of the infant
Church. He was one of the first
deacons and probably one of the
70 disciples of Our Lord. His
relics remain in the basilica
erected on the site of the early
church which marked the spot
where he was stoned to death.
Two days later, December %, is
the feast of the Holy Innocents
the innocent victims of Her0d's
fear lest the Newborn King" re-
place him on his throne.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1955-12-16
Familiar Sight

Christmas was formerly her
aided in Rome by the arrival of
the Calabrian minstrels with their
sylvan pipes, similar to Scottish
bagpipes, December Is From
then on the minstrels were a
daily familiar sight on all Rom
an streets and roads, where they
played their plaintive music be-
fore the shrines of the Madonna,
supposedly to charm away her
childbirth pains. Often, too, the
minstrels would stop at q car
penter's shop "out of politeness
to San Giuseppe"

Vision of Pain

One legend associated with the
holly is that there was a plant
growing outside the cave at
Bethlehem. st. Joseph broke off
a branch to keep the Holy Fam
lily warm. It was then, according
to the legend, that the Blessed
Mother noted its thorny-edged
leaves and blood-red berries and
had vision of the suffering her
SON was to endure.

There would be no Christmas
without Christ. This is the essent-
ial part of Christmas-the part
we are not to forget. All of our
Christmas endeavors lose value if
we neglect to hug this thought
to our hearts.
