UNCLE CY'S COLUMNChristmasChristmas is both a season of tlle

y ea r a nd a season of the soul. As aseason of t he year it has its history; asa season of the soul it has i ts poetry.Like every o th er g re at experience itis a harmonious relation of fact andfancy. \Ve live in a world of theactual, bu t we live, too, in a wor ld o fthe i dea l. Rel ig ion is the combinationo f th e e lement s of t he se two worlds.Th e Christian rel ig ion is the explanation and inspiration of life in t erms o fJesus and His God.The early followers of Jesus did notcelebrate Hi s birthday, largely becausethere was no record of it in their documents o r traditions. Th e first clearmention of a nativity observance is bya Latin chronographer of A. D. 354,quoted by MOlllmsen, t he German historian of Rome. There must have beenan earlier observance, but the references are doubtful and uncertain. Theearly celebrants of the Feast sufferedmartyrdom for their heresy, even asdid Boniface, the "Apostle to Germany" in t he e ight h cen tu ry . It isi nt er es ting to note further that theEnglish Puritans in 1644 denounced thecelebration of Chris tmas as a superstition, and Calvinistic Protestantism heldit to be un-Christian on the basis thatit was unwarranted and unsupportedby the Scriptures!\Vhen the early Church told its storyof the birth of jesus it was observedthat there were several points of s im ilari ty with the story o f Mithra, t he o ldPersian deity. In the julian calendar,the twenty-fifth of December was reckoned as the winter solstice and regarded as the Nativity o f t he Sun. Theritual of the nativity, as celebrated inSyr ia and Egypt, inc luded the retirement of t he c el eb rant s into innershr ines , f rom which at midnight theycame f or th with the loud cry, "TheVirgin has brought forth! The lightis growing!" Since Mithra was identif ied with the Sun , his birthday alsofell on December twenty-fifth.The Christians of Egypt came to regard the sixth of january as the dateof the nat iv ity of jesus, and the custom of celebrating on that day gradually spread throughout the East. Butthe \Vestcrtl Church, whi ch had neveraccepted January sixth, sometime durin g the end of the third or t he beg in ning of the f ou rt h cen tu ry adopt edDecember twenty-fifth as the true date,and in t ime t he decision was acceptedby the Eas te rn Chu rch a s well.The motives ar e reasonably clear.In the solemnities and festivities of theMithraic Nativity ce\e!Jrations it wassoon discovered that Christians weretaking partl Accordingly, the doctorsof the Chris tian Church took counselt ogether and changed the Church Calendar so that it con fo rmed wit h t henon-Christian CUst01l1 of celebratingDecember twenty-fifth, at the sametime adopting january sixth as thedate of the festival of the Epiphany.V\'e have continued the observance ofthis date to t he present day, thoughwe have no thought of its o ri gi n i nthe effort of the early Church to transfe r t he devotion of Chr is ti an and nonChristian worshiper from the Sun toHim who was called the Sun of Right-eonsness. 'This is the beg.inning of the historyof Chr is tmas and t he succeeding centuries saw that history enlarged fromthe s to re o f custom and tradition of thepeople among whom i t came.

Don't miss it ; see it todayl The Irondte isa beautiful, compact, practical and e f ~ i c i e n telect ric ironer . It does everything. It ironsyour own delicate lingerie as well and asquickly as men's shirts, baby's things, children's dresses, flat work, everything IIt does it in less than a third of the time, whileyou are comfortably seated, really resting, merelyguiding the p ieces through.And when done with it just roll it out of theway into any convenient corner or closet. Yet the

chances are you wouldn't even want to do that because the h ,:m.:!yelectric Ironette is so beautiful you will take a lot of pride inshowing it to all your friends.Most surpriJing-its price.
