said Canon Malone, it is hardly pomlble to expect a flow o! origin- al remarks; so, the story which I -.ant to tell to you today is one that has been told much bettei by Henry Van-Dykc and is called the story of “the First Christmas Tree." I will try however. to re- tell it to you in my own way.

bet us go back in time more than 7200 years and look at; a. scene which is taking place at a. convent on the ‘banks of the Moselle.

It is a. holiday and yet there is bustle and preparation everywhere, for l distinguished visitor has ar- rived at the house. none other than Winfrid of England, preach- er, scholar, daring traveller and venturescme pilgrim. He is better known by his Roman name, Boni- face, and his travels for years up and down through the forests of Saxony in the lace of the greatest prlviltlons and perils with lust a handful of companions have earn- ecl for him the title of The Apostle oi Germany.

After supper the members of the Religious Home listen spell bound to the perilous adventures of the great missionary and as the time comes to retire, the abbess calls upon a young relative a. prince of the royal blood to read to them from the Holy Scriptures.

Prince Gregory reads aloud the passage from St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians which‘ speaks of the armour of the Christian. of the shield of faith, the breast plate of righteousness, the sword of the spirit. the helmet of salvation.

Explains Parable

Boniface keeps him after the others have gone and asks him l! he understands the meaning of the passage. The boy confesses his perplexity. How can one ln holy orders carry weapons such as these. They seem to him entirely out of place.

Then Boniface explains that the parable of the Christian soldier must be translated into the rea- ' Not ,nt a- gainst self, but he must. enter into combat with dark spirits whom the heathen worship. "Gods they call those who are not gods. he said. and What better adventure can a brave man have than to go forth and conquer them."

The youth's enthusiasm is fired and he decided to follow Boniface when he goes 0n his journey the next day.

THE THUNDER OAK

Now the second scene. Years have passed and it is the depth oi win- ter. Marching along the old Ro- man road through the forests Boniface and his companions make their way. Ciose beside irlm is his companion Prince Gregory, stalwart and strong. They are footsore and weary and are ready to caml‘ I01‘ the night. but the object ct their journey is not; yet reached.

It is Christmas Eve and the heathen folk are gathering at the thunder-oak in the forest to wor- ship their god, Thor. That is the destination of the Christian pil- grim. There is work for them to do this Christmas Eve at the thunder oak of Thor.

They emerge from the forest in- to a smooth glnde where a swell- ing hillock in the centre is crown- ed with a mighty oak. "Here," cried Boniface, "is the thunder oak and here the cross of Christ must break the hammer of the false god Thor."

A great throng of people vrere gathered in a. semi-circle, their backs to the open glade and their faces toward the huge oak tree. Boniface hall's them and requests a. place for his band beside the winter fir-e. An aged priest steps forward and demands what busi- ness they have there“ Boniface re- plies. "I am Wlnfrld of England. beyond the sea, and I bring you a greeting from that land and a message from the All Father whose servant I am."

The priest bids them welcome but tells them their business must wait until the sacrifices to Thor have been completed.

night is the death-night oi’ the Sun-God. ‘Baldur the beautiful, it is the hour of darkness and of the power of winter. Thor. God of thunder and oi’ war is grieved at the death of Baldur and angry with those who have forsaken his worship. It is for this reason that the folds have been ravaged and the wild beasts haveslaln the hunt- ers; phigues have fallen on our dwellings and we have been de- feated in war. No longer will the customary sacrifices avail, but the choicest and best must be offered." He then places his hand cm the head of the chief's little son and asks him if he will go to Valhalla where the heroes dwell and berir a message of ‘Yhor. The little boy. not. knowing that lt means death. declares, that. he is willing while from his father's lips comes a smothered groan.

He is blindfolded and led for- ward to the altar. the old priest.

The Final Scene

Here is the final scene. Conflict- ing counsels fill the air. At length the chief demands that the strang- er who tlll now has been silent should speak.

Boniface takes from his bosom a letter from the great Bishop o! Rome which he reads to them. He pleads that there be no more bloody sacrifices, but that a house of worship be built for the only living and true God, the Almighty miller of heaven and earth. This night he tells them. is the birth- night of the whit/e Christ, Son of God and Saviour of mankind: fairer than Boliiur the Beautiful, greater than Odin the Wise, kinder than Freya. the Good. No drop of blood shall be shed for Thor the Dork Thunderer is dead.

Some muttered hoarsely that Thor take vengeance on the irn- pious stranger, but Boniface calls quickly to Gmgory and with swift strokes their axes cleave into the wood of the sacred oak. A strong whirling wind passes over the tree tops and the giant oak falls and splits asunder into four great pieces.

With flashing eyes he cries out: "Here take this felled timber and vrith it build a. house of prayer to the one true God "

Amid the splintered fragments of the great oak was a young fir tree. standing straight and green, its top pointing towards the stars. "Here." he said. “is n living tree with no stain of blood upon it

Let us call it the tree of the

Christ Child. Take it to the chief- talnts hall as a sign o! yglll’ new i worship. No longer shall your ‘ feasts be secret rites of shame, but . they shall be kept at home with song and laughter and the signs of ‘ love." l Back to the chleftalifs hall they went to keep their first (Christmas feast with the Christmas tree plac- ed in their midst. And when the feast; was over from the lips of Boniface and his companions came the cliiintlillz 0f the old Christmas hymn. as it were the song of angels.
