to the Christian world. They
do not know the real importance
of observing Christmas. AH
they know is that they always
look forward to Christmas as a
day of enjoyment. They do not
know that the word Christmas
has a meaning more
to the Christian world than any
other word that has ever been
spoken by human tongue.
The origin of Christmas we do
not know exactly, but we do
know that it celebrates the birth
of Christ. It is not known with
certainty when the festival, or
what we call Christmas, was
first observed. Clement of
Alexandria of it in the
beginning of the third century;
and again in the fourth century
it was spoken of by Chrysostom
as an event of great antiquity.
The church in the
fourth century fixed the twenty
fifth of December as the date
for this festival though at that
time no certain knowledge of
the date of the birth of Christ
existed. Many believe that the
heathen festivals, celebrated on
that day, weighed heavily in
accepting this date. Some
churches, and especially the
Western church in the fourth
century, believed that the right
date was the sixth of January.
That it could not have been on
the 25th of December for at that
time the rainy Judea
begin and the shepherds could
not have been watching their

of the birth of Christ is not

The prejudice is usually

his hat and coat, saunters up to the
guest chamber and prepares to be-
