Most of us know that' the
Christmas tree comes to us di
rect from Germany. 1 And ',we
know of the tree-worship of the
Druids which obtained in Eug-
land and France, and which
probably had some influence ou
the later use 6f the tree in the
Christian festival. ' But we do
not all know that a similar fes
tival with the tree as a crown
ing feature is' observed among
many heathen nations and that
it comes from sun-worship
which is older than history
The revival of the sun after the
wiuter solstice has ever been
the subject of rejoicing and of
celebration by ceremonies
which represent th6 new . light
