By Florence Wedge

While there is universal agreement that
Christ was born in Bethlehem on the oc-
Casion of a census that had brought Mary
and Joseph there, the actual date of the
Saviour's nativity has long been a topic for
argument and research by scholars and his
torians.
NO N KNOWS when Christ was born. 1t
is generally admitted by now that the traditional
da'e, AUG. 753 lAnno Urbis conditae 753-the
753rd year from the founding of the city of
Romeo IT too late by a few years
ST. MATTHEW STATES in his Gospel that
Jesus was born in the days of King Herod; and
Herod died in AUG. $50. Moreover, between the
birth OF the Christ Child and the death of the
ambitious Herod. there must have been time for
tlle coming Of the Magi, the exile Of the Holy
Family into Egypt, and the slaughter of the Holy
lnnocents.
THERE IS A RECORD of a remarkable con-
junction Of two planets in the year AUG. TAT,
which TO some annalists is all the explanation they
need for the so-called Star of Bethlehem, which
directed the Magi from the Orient to Palestine.
Thus, il is coniectured by some that Our Lord
was born at some time between the middle of
AUG. TAT and the end of AUG. 749 between
q &c. and 5 BC).
THIS DATE SEEMS to agree with a venerable
tradition which holds that the Child Jesus was
born at a time of general peace, when the door
took place in AUG. 746, and the gate Of the
chief god in the Roman pantheon remained closed
for a number of years.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1959-12-18

AS FOR THE PRECISE MONTH, there is none
in the year which has not been assigned, at some
time or other, as that in which the Saviour was
born. Clement of Alexandria about the year
200 ADD named five dates, including May 20 and
April q, to which certain Egyptian theologians
assigned the Nativity.
1T TOOK n CHRISTIAN Church more than
800 years to settle on a date for Christmas. Theo-
phllus of Antioch wrote toward the end of the
second century that the Gauls were observing the
anniversary of the birth of Christ on December
IS.
THIS Preference spread probably because
December Is was the winter ~solstice and a Roman
~feastday, the Birthday of the Unconquered Sun,
when the sun having reached its lowest point be-
gan to rise with renewed strength and splendor.
BETWEEN alo and 800 AID, the Church at
Rome fixed December IS permanently as the date
for the Christian observance of Christmas
At that time, December Is was "sandwiched'
between two important heather festivals, the Sa-
turnalia in honor of the god Caturn, and the
Kalends of January, which closed the old year
and ushered in the new with unbridled reveIry and
carnival. The Christian Church recognized the
need for an entirely different feast around which
the faithful might rally.
IN THIS CONNECTION st. John Chrysostom
wrote: "On this day also, the Birthday of Christ
was lately fixed at Rome in order that while the
heathens were busy with their profane ceremonies,
the Christians might perform their sacred rites
undisturbed."

GIVE CHRISTIAN
CHRISTMAS GIFTS

vital ANE EOO S0ITNS u give oil
those on your list for Christmas?
YOUR ANSWER is certain to be as
varied as the people for whom your gifts
are intended and in all probability will read
like the contents of a mail order catalogue.
But there is one type of present that is
likely to have been overlooked: gifts which
have religious significance.
YET THESE gifts are the ones which are
treasured, not only for a few hours until the
novelty wears off, but for all the rest of the re-
cipient's life.
In addition, religious gifts cover such a wide
range of objects that there is certain to be some
which can readily be bought for the prices YOU
feel you can afford.
YEARS AGO WHEN / was attending Sunday
School, all the teachers of the other classes
bought toys and candy for their pupils, but each
year, my teacher always gave me a religious OBJ
Ject. The first one was a statue of the Blessed
Virgin.
IN FOLLOWING YEAR she added statues Of
Saint Joseph and Saint Anthony, a New Tesla
ment and a copy of The Imitation of Christ. Every
one of these gifts has gone where / CO. because
1 valued them not only as gifts from someone /
loved and respected as one of the finest women
I've ever met but also as religious articles which
/ hoped might help me to be a better Catholic.
IN NO different from other peo-
ule. That is why I'm so sure that giving truly
Christian gifts on the worlds most widely cele-
brated birthday will make your present one TO be
treasured long after more expensive gifts have
been discarded.
If YOU CIV to people who are blessed with
so much of this worlds goods that it is very diff
ficult to find something suitable in the price
range you can afford, why not try using some
thing of a religious nature?
HI A STATUE of their patron saint OF
of some other saint for whom they have parti-
cular deyotions? These often are very beautiful
and there are imported and domestic ones that
can qualify both in looks and price as master
pieces of craftsmanship.

and that otherwise premiums
would be going up by another
five to seven percent.
Several reasons for the raises
were cited by the National Blu.
reau of Casualty Underwriters.
Among these are:
. The "inflationary spiral"
which has hit hospital rates,
physicians and surgeons fees,
X-ray charges and all other med.
ical expenses.
Increased compensation for
lost earnings while accident vic.
tins are laid up.
Increasingly larger jury
awards for death and bodily in.
jury in negligence cases.
Increases in labor costs for
repairing auto damages.
. New innovations in car de-
Signs-such as wraparound
windshields and elaborate tail
fin assemblies-which greatly
raise replacement costs.
Nationwide, insurance com.
panieS paid out almost twice as
much in underwriting losses in
1857 as in 1956-$216, 283, 900 in
1857 as against $109,313,00O the

Auto Insurance Premiums
To Be liked In MARYLAND

Auto insurance rates in Mary
land are expected to jump an
average of about 9 percent with
in the next month or two, in the
wake of similar increases in the
District of Columbia.
District Increases went into
effect yesterday. They reflect a
higher accident rate in 1867
among District car owners, plus
inflationaryI trends in accident
damage COSTS.
Historically, MARYLAND i'm.
creases have followed those in
the Distrid by about one month,
according to Joseph F. Hagan,
Rockville agent.
Biggest increases in District
rates affected cars in which
either the principal or secondary
drivers were males under Is
years OF age.
Where the principal operator
is a mae under 25, for example,
the jump is nearly 20 percent:
from s198.20 to S242 for the
basic minimum coverage.
For the average" car driven
only by persons over 25, the
increase was only about 3 per.
cent: from $76 to $50 for mini
mum coverage.
Montgomery County rates in
general run substantially lower
than those in the District, in
some cases by as much as 40 per-
cent.
The percentage of increase,
however, probably will be ap-
proximately the same as in the
District.
Insurance agents say their
commissions have been reduced,
