The Druldical contribution te the mod
ern Christmas celebration originated la
th annual feast given hi honor ot th
Druid god Tutanus, who corresponds to
the Phoenician ran gad Baal. HI fa
vorite aasong all tree aad plants of the
forest wss supposed to be th mistletoe.
Th number three wa held la rever
ence by the ancient people, and, be
cause the leave and berries of this par
aait grew In cluster of three, this, ia
addition to th glory of being Tutanus
favorite, made the plant sacred, and an
nually there wa a great festival gives
in Its honor.
In the choice aad selection ef the Yule
log tbe ash tree plays a very important ,
part. In Scandinavian mythology It la!
Odin's tree aad wa moat noble, for Its
wood mad the apear and th javelin,
the oar and the mast. Ia their lD-
' gang ash means man, and th legend
ma that whan tb eon of Bor, who
were bob of Odin, formed th Brat man
and woman they Were made out ef a
piece ot ash. This maa wa earned
Ask. And at th present day in Devon
shire, as a relie of this pagsn reverence
for thi tree, we find the Chriitma fagot
ad of ash sticks, bound tightly to
gether by green withe or band of pol
lard oak. - As each with bunt a quart
ef cider I passed - around, and health
are drank, amid great glee and rejoicing.
The gypsies,, too, and tb wild hill peo
ple of Bavaria and Bohemia reverence
the ash, although their legend attar bed

There I some disagreement a to the
origin of Cbristma day. Tb legend ran
that la th earliest period of th Chris
tian, church some communities of Chris
tians celebrated th festival of Christmas
en Jan. 1, other observing It oa th Oth
of that month. In some of tbe rasters
church It waa kept about tbe time of
tb Jewish Passover, near the end of
March. There ia also some evidence of
it hiving been observed on Sept. 2U, be
ing th Kehet of Tabernacle. In tb
year A. D. 82S, when tbe Emperor Con-
tentln legally established Christianity
in the Roman empire, Cbristma was ob
served at tb beginning of the new year,
while la tbe es stern chsreb It wa cele
brated oa Jan. 0. Pope Juliu eventually
effected a compromise, and tbe 25th dy
ef December wss t Wished. These his
torical rtatcent have been called la
aocstioa by seme, bnt John Chrysostom,
th rlequeat preacher at Coostsntiitopl
In tb fourth century confirms them.
It la a curios cireaeatanc that some
difficulty kas bees found ia accepting the

which Christ was born, became, tbe do

the relay season In Judaea, It I said that
