Wo need not rack our brains with tho chronological basis of this day. Nor is thero need of ondonvorlng to trace tho first signs of tho colobrn tlon of Christmas. It mnttors vory llttlo to us whotlior tho calculations of Hlppolytus had any thing to do with tho fixing of tho festival on De cember 2&th. Or how much tho pa gan Brumnlln, following tho Satur nalia, colobratlng tho shortest dny In tho yonr and tho "now buii", or tho boglnning of tho longhtcnlng of days, had to do with tho llxlng of tho dny for celebration. What wo noed to know Is primarily tho roason for tho rolobratlon of tho day ,and, furthor moro, how wo may obsorvo tho day so as to enjoy its great blessings. , Christmns Is tho ono dny on which tho nntlvlty of tho Savior is observed. This is, or ought to be, woll known by ovorybody who enjoys tho distinct ndvontnges of living In a clvillzod and chrlstlnn country. And (by tho way) lot no ono In our onllghtonod tlmo, for a moment, bo led to bollovo thnt Christmas Is obsorvod hi mem ory of Santa Claus' coming to fill our stockings nnd othor recoptacles for Christmas gifts. Tho Improjslon, so ofon clven children, thnt Santa Is tho King of tho festival, robs it of its sanctity nnd deprives tho tots of tho true Joy It purposos primarily to bring unto thorn. Why not toll tho children that Tom, Dick or Harry glvos thorn presonts, instend of Santa Claus? Hut bettor still would be to lot ovory gift Bymbollzo heaven's groat gift unto tho world. Thon ov ory gift, and exchange of gifts, would strikingly romind tho giver and ro dplont allko, of tho true naturo of tho day, and a brenth of hoavonly spirit thus bo Infused Into tho ontlro program of the observance. It is not necessary to enter into dotall upon the question of how host, to celebrate Christmas.
