Ad him at Burns or Lawen Oi H. i by the decision of Pope Jiili who hud an investigation m by Si. Cyril, and became fully satisfied that, as nearly as could be ascertained, December 25 was the correct date. Before the end Do you know that I'inesalve Carbolifd acts like a poult drnwinpr out inflammatioi of the fourth century the dictum antiseptic. For was universally accepted and) cuts, hums, eczema, cracked since that time nobody has over seriously thought of seokim change- the date. The observance of the festival of the Nativity was from th ginning called Christmas Chris! -mass,, because a special mm was cellirattd on that da. The pure glow of the spiritual festival dissipated tin tatflt c! of licentious and wickel ceremo nials that marked the BOtOf Roman Saturnalia; hut tl tian observance, while i atitig the evils of the heathen festival which is displaced, per milted many of tin pleasing and innocent features to remain. Among these an' customs which survive in the twentieth century the decorating with evergreens, holly laurel, the burning of tin Yule log, and the singing oi Christmas carols, which arc the evolution of the ancient hymns of Saturn and Bacchus and other heathen gods. It was not until the sixth cen tury that the whole of Christ en dom united in keeping Christmas on the same day. The reasons for this delay in instituting tin feast are summed up by an au thority who explains that, in tin first place, no correspond ine tival was presented by the Old (anient, as in the case of Easter and Pentecost; second, th. day and month of the birth of Christ arc nowhere stated in Gospel history-, and cannot tainly be determined: third, thai the church lingered at first aboui the death and resurrection of Christ, the completed fact of re demption, and made this the ter of the weekl worship and the church year; and. fourth that the earlier feasts of Kpiph any atlored a substitute for the festival of the Nativity.
