HOW FAR TO BETHLEHEM?
«How far is it to Bethlehem town?”
Just over Jerusalem hills adown,
Past lovely Rachel's white-domed tomb—
Sweet shrine of motherhood’s young
doom. ]
It isn’t far to Bethlehem town—
Just over the dusty roads adown,
Past Wise Men's well, still offering
Cool draughts from welcome wayside
spring;
Past shepherds with their flutes of reed
That charm the woolly sheep they lead;
Past boys with kites on hilltops flying, |
And soon you're there where Bethlehem’s
lying
Sunned white and sweet on olived slopes,
Gold-lighted still with Judah’s hopes.
And so we find the Shepherd's field
And plain that gave rich Boaz yield;
And look where Herod's villa stood.
We thrill that earthly parenthood
Could foster Christ who was all-good ;
And thrill that Bethlehem town today
Looks down on Christmas homes that
pray.
It isn’t far to Bethlehem town!
It's anywhere that Christ comes down
And finds in people's friendly face
A welcome and abiding place.
The road to Bethlehem runs right through
The homes of folks like me and you.
—By Madeline Sweeny Miller
REASON FOR ANCIENT
FAITH IN MISTLETOE
Idolatry had not advanced far
among the Celts, and their images
or gods were rudely carved logs or
simple weapons of one sort or an-
other. Their chief ceremonial object
was the mistletoe, that white ber-
ried creeper which has captured the
imagination of primitive people all
over the world.
Sir James G. Frazer, in that
most fascinating book in all the lit-
erature of comparative religions,
“The Golden Bough,” has tried to
give the reason for the peculiar ven-
eration attached to this plant.
maintains it is because the mistle-
toe has not roots in the polluted
earth but seems to grow magically
between heaven and earth.
By that sorry clutching at conclu-

sions which is all that primitive man
has of logic, this plant, dangling
down from the sky, is therefore
thought to be endowed with magic
properties. Whenever the Druids
discovered it growing on an oak
tree, they would approach with
i great awe and ceremonial pomp and
cut it down with a golden sickle.
| They would be careful to catch it
| before it fell to the earth, and then
i they would use it to make a potion
i for the fertilizing of barren women
and cattle and for the cure of
| epilepsy, ulcers, poisoning and al-
most every other human ailment.
| When Animals Kneel.—There are
| many superstitions connected with
| Christmas night. One of them is the
| legend that the oxen kneel in their
| stalls to worship the infant Christ
| at midnight of His birthday.
| Mistletoe and Kissing. —The mis-
| toe and kissing are always insepar-
| ably connected in the minds of Eu-
| ropeans, and as far back as tradition
| and history can go the quaint ber-
ried plant and kissing have always
gone hand in hand together.
Singing Christmas Carols—Christ-
mas carols were sung as far back
as 1521 and were said to he the
songs sung by angels at the birth of
Christ.
The old custom of singing carols
in the streets was revived in 1917.
In 1918 thirty cities co-operated. It
is expected that carols will be sung
this Christmas eve on the streets,
in the parks, as well as in the
churches, schools and public institu-
tions of communities.
St. Nicholas.—St, Nicholas, as the
patron saint of Christmas, seems to
have been adopted by America;
Father Christmas is indigenous to
Britain, Santa Claus to Germany,
and Kriss Kringle to Holland, but
they all seem to be variants of the
first-named.
The First Christmas Cards.—In
1836 the king of England sent cards
of greeting to his friends and this
started the custom. In England, too,
| was first started the nice customs
| of saying Merry Christmas and of
| decorating the house.

The
MEANING OF CHRISTMAS
season of Christmas is at
hand. In every city, town and ham-
let in the United States the people
have been busy during the past few
weeks, seeking something to present
to the loved ones at home and
abroad. For it is at this time of year
that we seek especially to remember
those who are near and dear to us
either by ties of blood or friendship.
The Christmas custom is an old
one, ante-dating our Christian civili-
zation. And when the Christian
fathers converted the savage tribes
who formed the ancestors of most of
us, they changed pagan customs to
Christian ones, So now Christmas
day observing the birth of the
Christian Savior, is quite properly
the day on which we hang up the |
stocking, trim the tree and radiate |
peace, good cheer and brotherly love.
And because this Christmas sea-
son is so time-honored, we have
come. to regard it as a matter of |
course. Few of us therefore ever
stop to consider what might happen |
to our economic system if this |
Christmas season with its customs |
were suddenly in some supernatural
manner, wiped out of our human ex-
istence. |
For every year factories in Europe
and America are busy manufactur- |
ing Christmas goods, giving employ- |
ment to hundreds of thousands of |
people everywhere, Then these goods |
find themselves on the shelves of the i
merchants in the United States and |
every other civilized land, and are
sold to the people who observe the |
Christmas season. December conse-
quently is the biggest retail business
month of the year, and hundreds of
millions annually are spent to make
the Christmas season a real holiday.
Tt is easy to see that if the Christ-
mas spirit were suddenly to disap- |
pear. there would be a real econom- |
ic calamity in every Christian nation.
As stimulant to production nothing |
can surpass the Christmas spirit. !
The economic loss, however, would |
not be in any degree so great as the |
ethical loss. For the good cheer, and |
generosity of Christmas send a fine
impulse over the world, lasting a |
great deal longer than the Christmas
season itself. What Christmas means |
to our children. and to the memory |
of our own childhood is worth a |
thousand times what it costs. And
the spirit of goodfellowshin which |
Christmas engenders. to sav nothing,
of its nurely religious vhase. is,
worth another thousand times the
cost, |
RABBIT FUR POPULAR.
Rabbit fur is used more exten-
sively by the fur trade -than any
other kind, according to D, Monroe
Green, biologist in the Biological
Survey. With the disappearance of
many of the fine-pelted fur bearers
from many parts of the United
States the use of rabbit skins is
steadily increasing. More than
100,000,000 rabbit skins are now
utilized annually in this country,
about 98 per cent of which are
imported. Of this number, says
Green, about 55,000, dressed and
dyed, are made into fur garments
and into trimmings for women’s
coats, suits and dresses. The re-
mainder, not being suitable for gar-
ments, are used as linings for
men’s and boy's gloves and in the
manufacture of felt which is used
chiefly in making hats.
Aided by modern processes
American fur dressers and dyers
have become so expert in changing
the colors and appearance of furs
that in many instances the pelt of
the rabbit, under a variety of trade

PEACE AND GOOD WILL
The real Christmas spirit is not
the spirit of extravagant expense, of
covetous delight. To be peaceful
with God and with our fellow-crea-
tures; to be willing to do good for
Him and for them—that is the peace
and good will which can make our
lives a continuous Christmas feast.
It costs nothing; it hurts no one; it
wins heaven and earth; it gives
“glory to God in the highest.” The
oldest Christmas wish is still the
pbest—Peace and good will.—Herald
