J ir.g. the day set apart for rejoicinr over the birth fo over the birth of the most potent apostles of peace mankind has ever known, wears a more nobly prophetic aspect this year than it has had in a century or a millennium, and thrilling appeals to the faith and brotherly love of good people can be made with out in the least overstepping the bounds of troth. The facta are rich in promise, beyond the realization of many eyes weary of long strife anl repeated disillusionment There will he comparatively little danger of ex aggeration in the praise of Christmas this glorified - day which finds the world scarce able to rrasp the fuil meaning of great events. But there Is another phase of Christmas which is always well worth noting, and especially so when tire pace of human progress is quickened by momentous changes toward peace and good will. This is the constant widening and unending conquests of the best of holidays. Every Christmas Is bigger than the one before it. Always the day means more to a greater number of human beings. Year after year its boundaries are extended. Year by year Its sun shine Is shed upon more of the earth's inhabitants. This does not necessarily mean the gains of the Christian religion, for Christmas Is wider than Christianity. The day of the coming of Jesus is cherished by many millions who have no connection with Christian churches or the faith they profess. The holiday is dear to all who live in lands where Christians are most numerous. It wins the devotion of little children and holds their affection as they grow older. For multitudes its observance is not in any sense a rite of belief, but a manifestation of rejoicing in the love of fellow-dwellers in a world which at best has too little of the sunshine of kindness and affection There is no reason to fear that this growth of Christmas will cease. There is nothing to Indicate that It will ever fail to widen the realm of brigh hopes and radiant thougths. shining children's eyes and smiling older faces when winter days are briefest and darkest, in the more populous half of the earth, and nature leaves most for man to do, Iri making the world cheer ful and life worth living.

EVANS Central Point 4 SSUED IN 1 834 English Notes and Queries has the names of three men who at one time or another have been credited with designing the first Christmas card V. C. T. Dobson has some claim to making the first Christmas card in 1844, but John C. Horstey made Christ mas card for Sir Henry Cole in 1S43 and later began the publication of such cards. , But there sinothlng particularly new In the origin of pictures sent to remind friends of some particular event. The custom was very old in China, from which country so many customs came to be known as very old after they were established In Europe. In the Chinese laundries pictures In red and black used to be familiar to the man going for his weekly wash. They were Chinese New Year cards which remained on the walls until the next New Year came around. But the sale of Christmas cards as a business cams in about 1845 or 1846. The American-made cards some years later have the credit for Introducing quality and artistic design Into Christmas card printing. On New Year's day Japanese mer chants send their patrons cards with greetings of the season. An elaborate symbolism Is used In conveying the Japanese messages, and when it Is known the stork is supposed'to live a tlymsand years and the turtle ten thousand, their significance on the cards Is readily understood; they say to the recipient. "We wish you a Ions life." The pine, tree, (everlastingly green. Is a symbol of good fortune; the fan means Increasing good fortune. The seven gods of good fortune oc cupy prominent places on the New Year's cards. They are Ebisu. happi ness; Dalkoktt, prosperity; Benton, music; rotei. charity; Giro, long life: Kukuroku, good lurk, and Uishamon, protection against evil.
