was in full bloom. Nature was

good, inspiring, informative and
charged with spiritual power.
First Sunday nights services
are as rule always full and rich
in power divine. In the pastors
discourse he presented a real
picture of the Cross of Calvary.

The beautiful Christmas rose has
played its part in the many legends
associated with our Christmas OBJ
servance.
An early story tells of the young
shepherd girl who wept as she
watched the Wise Men on their
way to the Christ Child with rich
gifts when she had nothing to offer
as a present. An angel appeared
and asked the reason for her dis
tress. And suddenly the ground
was carpeted with shining white
flowers. The shepherdess gathered
some of the blossoms and took
them as her gift to the Christ
Child. When she presented her
gift, the Infant smiled, and as his
fingers touched the white flowers,
the petals became tinged with
pink.
1t is also believed that the
Christmas rose helped popularize
the custom of gift giving at Christ
mas time. In the days of knight
hood it was custom to hang kissing
rings in the great halls. The rings
were decorated with mistletoe and
beneath them the young knights
and ladies would meet, each bring
ing Christmas roses to their secret
love.

ChriJtmaJ: Our Great
holiday 8egan efg
Strictly Religious 3eytiOaL

Although records indicate that
the Christmas festival was spoken
Of in the fourth century as a Gus
tom of long standing, the exact
age Of the holiday is not known.
Christmas actually began as
strictly religious observance and
was officially recognized in the
fourth century as Christ's Mass,
or the Mass of Christ. And it is
quite significant to note that until
this time it had been the custom
of the church to celebrate the an
niversaries Of deaths, rather than
births, so Christ's birthday was
appropriately the first to be made
an occasion for feasting.
1t was many years after the first
observance Of Christs Mass before
gift-giving became a part of the
festival season. The church finally
condoned the practice, in remem-
brance Of the Three Kings who had
Travelled far to present their gifts
to the newborn Christ.
In other centuries, too, the feast
Of Christmas was to be the subject
of controversy. In England, during
the Reformation, many believed
the undue jollity of Christmas day
to be sacrilegious. The English
Parliament, on December "a, 1862,
ordered that mo observance shall
be held of the five and twentieth
day Of December, commonly called
Christmas day: nor any solemnity
used or exercised in churches upon
that day in respect thereof"
Naturally. the edict proved to be
very unpopular with the masses
Of the people, but it had its effect
and it was many years before
Christmas was once again regarded
as holiday.
And England was not alone. The
Puritans Of Mass. bay colony had
a law that imposed fines for OBJ
servance of Christmas and Gov.
Bradford once issued a statement
publicly ridiculing certain young
men who declined to work on Dec.
%, Eye day called Christmas"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1956-12-20
Christmas Customs
From Many Peoples

The observance of Christmas In
the United States, is a combination
of customs which have come 20 us
from @ermany. England. Italy,
Turkey, and many other countries,
customs which have been COM
bined into a beautiful and varied
observance.
Christmas customs, combined
with a proper appreciation of the
spiritual nature Of the observance,
gives the real meaning of Christ
mas and the universal message it
holds for all mankind, peace on
earth; good will to men!"

Vivien Fascinates
There is only one actress in
England who ever fascinated
him, And that's Vivien Leigh.
So many women conform to

Occasionally you find a woman

fact that Englishmen seem to
be rather on the cold side. but
their letters are not. That"

because the Englishman is
