I the Iris-It of Christ-nas.
There is hardly a
festival in the calen
dar which has such a
hold on the hearts of
old and young alike as
Christmas Day. The
ring of the car bells
and the voices upon
the streets seem to
take on a more cheery tone, and the
spirit of the time seems to throw a
glamour over places and things which
ordinarily are devoid of all beauty.
As it is with places, so it is with
| people. They, too, not only seem to
R change, but the transformation does
take place in millions of hearts to a
greater or less degree. The spirit of
Christmas even affects people who for
the rest of the year are devoid of
sentiment and of ft ling for their fel
lows. The most interesting stories
of Christmastide are tbo-e which will
never appear in print—true stories of
men and women whose thoughts have
t'-en only of their own selfish aims
ard pleasures, but have been awak
ened, if only for a day or two, from
their usual self-complacency, moved
, by some force of which they are only
j half-conscious to do some act of kind
ness to make the d; y happier for
someone less fortunate than them
selves in a worldly way.—The Chris
tian Herald.
The Christmas Spirit.
Hut don’t you s. that there is a
! Santa Claus! lie is n't a man in a fur
coat, and a reindeer sleigh and all
that, but he is the Spirit ol Christmas,
j isn't he? They’ve personified that
and made a saint of him and invented
legends about him for t e children,
hut when we’re no longer children and
don’t believe in him, wo still have
that Christmas spirit and it’s that
that gives presents arid makes u: 1 1
toward one another, and makes Chris
gi uius what it is.—Harvey J. U'iiiggius.1
Seräskmas Gesteins
It is interesting to
trace the oiigin ot
festival customs to
those connected with
Druidicu! superstitions
of classic observances
and it will surprise
many to learn that j
present-day sports very |
closely resemble the celebrations oh j
served of old in honor of Saturn or j
Bacchus.
The Roman Saturnalia, which oc |
eurred in the winter solstice, were a j
season of great festivity and rejoicing
honored by many privileges and ex
emptions. The spirit of gaiety had
free charter, and even quarrels were
suspended, to be resumed after the
holidays.
As a manifestation of the gratitude
felt at the renewed prorpeet, of the
returning march of the sun, gifts were |
exchanged and special hymns were ,
iing. These latter were really the
Roman representatives of the modern 1
carol.
At the Saturnalia the Roman feast
ed. sang and danced, as we do at
Christ mas. A ruler or king was ap
pointed, who enjoyed certai i preroga
tives. lit presidt <1 ever the sports ot
the* s< son. Probably he is the an
cestor of the lord of misrule, who ex
crci ed a similar power in more re
cept. times.
Merriment was a matter of general i
concern, and the joyous spirit of en
tire di trice is now narrowed to fam
ily parties.
It i. the touch that makes the
whole world kin. and it is a pleasant
reminder that, after all, history re
peats itself.
