England At One Time
Banned Celebration of
Christmas As Holiday
Christmas celebrations become
so merry in Merrie Old England
that they were abolished.
World Book Encyclopedia notes
that the Puritans prohibited the
boisterous observances in the
1640’5. They threw out minis
ters who dared to hold services
on Christmas Day and jailed
anyone who didn’t treat Decem
ber 25 as a common work day.
But while the Puritans were
taking over Engiind under Oliv
er Cromwell, they were losing
the battle of Christmas. Riots
broke out in 1647 protesting the
ban on the holiday. And an
outraged group of 10,000 men
passed a resolution declaring that
if they couldn’t celebrate Christ
mas, they’d just as soon have
the king back.
A few years later, the Puritans
prudently beheaded King Charles
I. But the English people in
vited his son Charles II to come
back in 1660 and Christmas, as
well as the monarchy, was re
stored to England.

by Jesus, in a gentle tone, “If
I do not wash wou, you have no

shame and remorse, sobbed,
“Lord, not my feet only but also

when He had finished with the

Jesus stood and said to them:

tioiiary requirement, but we
have here an example of its
truth that we cannot deny!
This truth is supported not only
by the example of Jesus, who,
through self-forgetting service
became the greatest among men,
but by our own personal ex
periences.
Life, we discover, is a carbon
copy of our Lord’s parable about
the grain of wheat. The grain
which is left behind in the
granary flourishes, completely
self-sufficient, for a while, but
eventually withers and dies, its
purpose in life unfulfilled; while
those .grains which are sewn
give forth in bounty, in service
of mankind. We are like that.
So long as we are wrapped up
in self-concern, the better part
of us is in chains. But when we
lose ourselves in loving service
to a noble ideal, or to a great
cause, especially that represent
ed in Christ, we find the per
fect freedom.
Self-seeking creates conflict.
Every recorded instance of strife
occurring among the disciples
grew from contention about
place and position. Excessive
self-concern always breeds strife
—whether in the home, the
church, industry, or among na
tions. On the other hand, con
cern for others—concern express
ed in self-forgetting service—
makes- for both harmony and
happiness, within and without. ,
So men have found Christ to
be the Way, the Truth, and the
Life. To remember him is to
love him, to love him is to wor
ship him, to worship him is to
serve him, to serve him is to
serve one another in his spirit,
and so to serve is to reap the
fruits of peace and joy.
