The Christmas festival, "the most blessed natal day that ever dawned on earth," was amonr the early Christiai:s an uncertain season. Some observed it in April, some in May, aud some in June. There is no historical evidence that Christ was born on the 2uth of December; nor is there any historical evidence when the festival was instituted. It is said that its first observance on the 23th of December occurred in the Pontificate of Julius, whose rein lasted from A. D. 337 to 332. Yet more than two hundred years later than Julius we have the Bishop of Edessa saying: "No one knows ex actly the day of the Nativity of the Lord; this only is certain, from what Luke writes, that lie was born in the night. " It is now thought by Biblical critics that the precise year of our Lord's birth was really four or five years prior to the Christian era. But by the Fifth Century the 23th of Decem ber was well-nigh universally adopted as the natal day and as the day of the festival. As the heathen nations regarded the winter solstice as the time wheu Nature begins to renew her powers, they celebrated the day with great festivities. Many of the usages that prevailed in the religious cults of the Romans and of the na tions subject to their sway were wisely incorporated into its system by the early Christian Church. Among the usages thus incorporated was the heathen custom of celebrat ing the renewed birth of Nature by celebrating on the same day the birth of our Savior. Christian writers tell us that the Church sought to substitute for the Koman fest'uals held during the winter solstice its grand liturgy, together with dramatic representations of Christ's birth and the first events of His life. But whatever the day of the Na tivity or the motive for assigning it to the 25th of December, universal Christendom now celebrates the memory of the occurrence rather than its precise date. It is the event, and not the day of its happen ing, that engages the hearts of the Christian world. The great com munions and might- pillars of the Christian temple, the Romans, the Easterns, the Angelicans, the Lu therans and the various Christian bodies throughout the Christian world, pay homage to the day not only as a religious festival but as a day of social observance. "The Mass of Christ, " which was early celebrated on the supposed natal day, is the origin of the term Christmas. And what a hold it has on the Christian world! In England formerly, and to a less extent even now, the season was considered wholesome against all unnatural charms. Shakespeare expresses the popular thought of his day in the well-known and oft-quoted lines: Some say that ever 'gainst that season conies Wherein our Savior's birth is celebrated The bird of dawninR sinKeth all night long: Ami then, they bay, no sj.irit can walk abroad: The nights are wholesome; then no planets strike. No fairy takes, nor witch hath fower t charhi. So hallow d and so gracious is the time." We could wish to say .that Christ mas, as one of the great Christian festivals, had been so potential, to gether with other Christian influ ences, as to banish from the earth war, strife and the countless evils that afllict humanity. But the state of things is as we behold it; and the duty of all should be to use their utmost endeavors, in their several ways and stations, to mitigate the ills" we have and to fight manfully on behalf of those things that make for progress and light. Blessed Christmas! It makes our hearts tender. It helps us, for the time being at least, to throw away selfishness. It helps us to be liberal, more open-hearted. We feel kindlier toward every one, and thousands of cold and selfish hearts seem to thaw out under its iufluence. A Sl'KE CL'KK I'Oli I'ROI P, Twenty-ilve Y.ar' Constant I'se Without a Failure.

The Social and Secular Significance of the Day. The establishment of the Christmas festival, now the most joyous of the yearly holidays throughout the civil ized world, is the most recent in date of the great church days. Its social and secular significance, of course, followed its religious adoption. Yet, curiously enough, it derived its rites of merry making not from Christian ity so much as from the customs of the heathen world. The rulers of the early church, from Constantine down, were shrewd politicians. They knew how important it was to in clude as many as possible of the o!d pagan usages and beliefs to which the people of the Roman empire had been attached iu the observances of the new faith. Just why December 2."th was se lected as the natal day of the Savior of the world nobody has ever been able to tell. Certainly there is no historic reason nor the slightest au thentic clew, and it is well known that December is the rainy season in Judaea, when neither shepherds nor flocks brave the open sky. It is more than probable that the celebra tiou of Christ's birth, which up to the fifth century had not been ob served at all, got them to be recog nized as not less worthy of holiday consecration than Easter and Whit sunday. It was a happy thought to make this as nearly identical "as might be with the old Roman saturn alia, which still survived in some of its forms, and with the annual feast of Thor, observed among all the Teutonic races, even those which had accepted the white Christ. It was the more apposite, too, as the Roman festival and the Teutonic alike had symbolic reference to the great natural fact that the sun at or about that date rises out of the deca dence of his power to augmenting heat and splendor. This was easily applicable to the first appearance of the Son of God and the Sun of the World among men. So we see imported into the ob servance of the Christian holiday from the first on its social side the time-honored heathen usages and ceremonies. The universal present giving of the saturnalia, especially to children, and the democratic equal ity which abolished distinction of rank at that period were at once fol lowed by the Christian merrymakers. From the old Norse usages the day borrowed the customs of the huge bonfires, the Yule log of holy ash or oak to be burned indoors, the sym bolism of the holly and mistletoe boughs, alike sacred to the deities, the great boar's head served as the piece de resistance of the Christmas feast and the general bacchanalian ism of the occasion. The latter, however, was also typical of the old Roman festival. Santa Claus (St. Nicholas) came by and by into the rich symbolism of the Christinas show as the successor of Odin, the all father and all giver. The Scan dinavian god on the occasion of the festivities of his eldest son, Thor, distributed universal gifts, the father of each famil' being his special agent in the matter. As Odin, or Woden, became in later myths the mighty huntsman who ranged the forests, we see how the Christmas tree and evergreens found their places. Why, however, the functions of Odin should have specially been finally transfer red to St. Nicholas out of all the Christian canon roll, unless from the fact that this fine old saint was the special patrou of children and school boys, it is not easy to divine. These things go to show what a curiously tangled composite our Christmas is and how lustily it has grown out of diverse elements till it has become the most significant and hallowed of holiday seasons, marking really an opoch of the year. Among the causes which have en shrined this day so deeply in the heart of the world the fact that it is peculiarly children's day is probably the most fetching in its magic. The young people everywhere among Christian peoples constitute the fac tor which dominates the social ob servance of the season. Rich wassail at the dinner board, seraphic music and ponfp of church service, even the giving of rich gifts among the elders, were these all, would leave Christmas but little different from other holi days, notably so in the case of Easter, when present giving among the rich has become so common. The Bam bino, or infant Christ, as the idol of the occasion, would then have but little significance, but when the juve nile world declares that it rules the jubilee the keynote is struck which sends its thrilling music ringing throughout humanity. How Charles Dickens, the prose poet of Yuletide in fiction, has spun this pregnant fact into exquisite episodes is proba bly the highest measure of his suc cess in imaginative work. The images he has created will live for ever in the Christmas procession far more than puppets to the warm hearts of countless readers. And it is not among the children of the rich that Christmas most diffuses its felicity in real life any more than among the offsprings of the great Christmas romancer. It is among the poor and the lower middle classes that Christmas joy reigns with most potency. The trifle spent to secure a Christmas tree with its burden of cheap toys and sweets in the tenement house repre sents vastly more than the corre sponding splendid show among the affluent. The story of the little crip ple, "Tiny Tim," sets its canticle to more resounding strains of harp and cymbal than can ever attend the festival music of a palace. The true "Chrissom child" was found in the humble manger. The feeling that Christmas day is peculiarly consecrated to the poor as well as to the children has always been quite characteristic of the usages of the day. The lowest classes in mediaeval times were made to share fully with their superiors ih feasting and merrymaking. At the present period we see an ever in creasing benefaction in the way of helping the poor to enjoy Christmas more generously the turkey or goose for the home table, toys and clothing for the youngsters, and public dinners, often supplemented by substantial presents for the home less waifs. On this special occasion such philanthropy shows its most sweeping and liberal form, and the human heart is softened to the thought that iu spite of earthly dis tinctions all men are equal before Him whose natal day as man is thus observed. The democratic influence of Christmas thus stands out a great social factor. When classes are driven by so many other influences to become hostile, it is a pregnant thought that more and more should be done to in tensify the spirit and tendencies of the Christmas season as an object lesson in kiudly sympathy between rich and poor. What wealth does for poverty is sometimes turned from blessing to bane by a haughty and patronizing air in the giver. The Christmas spirit is that of the for tunate man, who cordially helps his unlucky brother, the spirit of the good Samaritan. The habitual ex ercise of this feeling on one day when all tradition and religious sen timent turn toward it helps to extend it to other days, and that is the true function of Christ's natal festivity. Gkokue T. Fkrris. Christinas (Jiving. Of course you need not be to'.d of the origin of presenting gifts at this season of the year. The three wise men who followed the star until it remained stationary over the stable in Bethlehem, and who, entering the hovel wherein were the cow and the ass, knelt down before the beautiful Babe in the manger, placed before him presents of myrrh, frankincense and gold. Their example is the ex ample that you follow to-da', 1,S!9 years after the Magi made obeisance to the Child Jesus, and when you place presents before the little ones who are made in the image of the Divine Babe you are doing what was done by the eastern kings, but re member that to carry out their ex ample to the full the babes in the mangers, the little ones in hovels, must not be forgotten. Most of our Christmas customs come from the German. Kris Krin gle is a legendary myth whose origin Is involved in much doubt. Formerly in the small villages of Germany the presents made by all parents were sent to some one person, who, in high buskins, a white robe, a mask and an enormous flax wig, and known as Knecht Rupert, went from house to house. He was received by the pa rents with great reverence, and, calling for the children, presented the gifts to them according to the accounts of their conduct received from the parents. It appears as highly probable that this custom gave rise to our present innumerable legends about Santa Claus. Christmas (ii cens. In olden times holly was used only to deck the inside of houses at Christ mas, while ivy was used not only as a vintner's sign, but also among the evergreens at funerals. For former ly "the rooms were embowered with holly, ivy, cypress, bays, laurel and mistletoe." There are thousands of quaint old verses that could be quoted in praise of the rosemary, laurel and mistle toe. A love of nature, her fruits and flowers, her roses and vines with their mystic significance seems to have been a predominant trait among those who gathered at the Yuletide. Those He Don't Want. When a man says he doesn't want any Christmas presents, he means that he doesn't want any that are charged to him at the stores, or bought with his own money.

Washington, Dec. 19, 1899. Mr. McKinley isn't satisfied with bossing Congress; he intends to boss the whole republican shooting match. For some reason he has soured on Boss Piatt's little scheme of making Gov. Teddy Roosevelt the Vice-Presidential candidate, and he took occa sion to tell the members of the Repub lican National Committee, which met in Washington to-day to choose the time and place for the next republi can national convention, that Secre tary Root would be nominated on his ticket. Boss Piatt tries to make it appear that he means it when he says that Root's nomination for Vice President will be entirely satis factory to him. Now, that it has become known that Mr. Root is Mr. McKiuley's candidate the thick and thin worshippers at the McKinley shrine are falling into line and the Root boom is growing accordingl 3'. Senator Allen, who has been ap pointed by the governor of Nebraska to fill the vacancy left by the death of the late Senator Hayward, will be warmly welcomed as a staunch and valuable recruit to the ranks of the auti gold standard Senators, who are preparing for a long and hard fight in the Senate against the gold standard bill, which Mr. McKinley has found it so easy to jam through the House. The republican speeches in the House, last week, contained lots of gush about "republican prosperity" and "sound money," but very little praise of any portion of the gold standard bill, which will, if it be comes a law, put the control of the finances of the country in the hands of the bankers, enabling them to contract or expand the amount of money in circulation at will. Representative Cochran, of Miss ouri, in an able speech against the McKinley gold standard bill, pre sented figures showing that there is not enough gold in the world to do the business of the world, and de clared that the importation of gold to pay for the surplus crops exported to supply the failure of crops abroad had quickened trade and produced the prosperity of which the republi cans boasted, and warned the repub licans that when the stock of gold declined, as he believed it was bound to do. the prosperity of to-day would crumble like a house of cards. Rep resentative Sims, of Tennessee, in his speech against the gold bill, called attention to a very important fact that while wages did not aver age more than 10 per tent, above the panic level, the price of manufactur ed goods had increased 100 per cent. Senator Pettigrew's resolution calling upon the Secretary of the Navy to inform the Senate whether the flag of the Philippine republic was carried by vessels in Manila Bay and saluted by Admiral Dewey or any of the vessels of his squadron at any time since May 1, 1S98, and whether a vessel flying the Philip pine flag accompanied the United States cruisers Concord and Raleigh to Sub'g Bay, in June 1S9S, to aid in compelling the Spanish force to sur render, asks for legitimate informa tion and should be adopted. If these reports are false the administration ought to be glad of the opportunity to officially say so, but no such glad ness is manifested. On the contrar-, Mr. Pettigrew's resolution is to be smothered, not answered. Mr. Quay is in Washington, mak ing a personal appeal to Senators to vote to seat him on the governor's credentials. It is said that if he does not receive assurances from a sufficient number of Senators to make it absolutel' certain that he will be seated, he intends to with draw his application and credentials, but there is doubt as to whether he could withdraw them. Some of the members of the House committee which is engaged in in vestigating the charges against Mr. Roberts are themselves charged with being more anxious to get a free trip to Utah and back, with all ex penses paid, than to complete the investigation and make a report. There seems very little probability that the report will be made to the House before the Christmas recess. The democrats intend pushing trust legislation at this session of Congress. Senator Morgan, of Ala bama, has introduced an anti-trust joint resolution which he says he in tends forcing to a vote if it possibly can be done, and Senator Chilton, of Texas, says the same about the anti trust bill he has introduced. The appointment of Gen. Leonard Wood, whose nomination to be major general of volunteers was confirmed by the Senate last week, to be Mili tary Governor of Cuba, is regarded as the best thing that has happened for the Cubans for some time, as he has shown by his management of the province of Santiago that he thor oughly understands how to get along with them. Arthur Barnes, of Wilson, N. C, appointed doorkeeper in the Senate many years ago by Senator M. W. Ransom, was found dead in bed here Saturday morning. Heart disease was the cause of his death. He was very highly thought of. ALL OVER THE STATE. A Summary of Current Events for the Past Seven Days.
