OLD S'UPllR8'l‘I'l‘IONB _

The world "Yule" -the old name

for Christmas-survive; in Yule-cam idle, Yule-cake or dough, and Yule feast. The festive board was al- ways lit by the Yule-candle. which was usually of an enormous alze and gaily decorated. The Yule-dough were .little cakes frequently distri- buted by tha baker among his cua-

tomers. Tha house-wiie_who desk? luck would keep _tho precious cake 3 l. through' the ear, excepting that she and her. fgmy' ji,” _1"would not be iniur- ed by tire orgwater. oixglain by the sword, andwould never be in danger of falling into the hands of the ad- versary."_ Qn _ Christmas ever it _ used to be the custom in man parts of the country for the children to alt up till mid- night in order that they might taste the Yule-cake and participate of tho "furmenty"-a 'decoction of creed corn and milk.

SOME OLD COOKERY CUSTOMS

~ Every land-indeed almost every family-has its own special dainties for the Christmas season. From re- m0¢0 Mltiilllity has come to us this habit of Christmas feastings; indeed. the Christmas. cakes are said to typ- ify 3 direct connection between the adoration of the God-of Light and the eivressions of, 'Hia power on earth__in the' Bro and the hearth. In many of their Christmas customs to- day, the Presently or Europe is an unwittingly following the traditions of its pagan ancestry. Thus, little do the people of central France. who aachiyanr bake small crescent-shaped "gate-aux do Noel," called "corne- beaux," to give to the poor. realize that the odd shape of these cakes, resembling 3 bllllo<:k’s horns. is a heritage of their heathen forefathers, Equally ignorant are the Scandinav- lnns. who bake their Christmas cakes in the shape of 5 pig, and feast' on roast pork for their Christmas din- ner. They do not think that they are commemorating the socriiioial boar whose life was oilered up each Yule-tide.

SOME GERMAN SUPERSTITIONB

In Earth Germany 3 person must not spin during the Twelve Nights of Christmas lest he or she should walk after death. nor altar sunset on Sat- urday. for than mice will eat the work. If it is desired to have money and luck all the year round, one must not fall to eat herrings on New Year’s Day: nor, it you wish to be lucky, must you rock an empty cradle or spill salt wantonly, or cross knives or point at the stars. If n dirty cloth is left on the table over Christmas night it will make the angela weep; if you point upwards to the rainbow it will make the angels feet bleed; and if you talk of cabbage while looking at the moon You will hurt the feelings of the man

LOOKING FORWARD

TO CHRISTMAS.

Christmas is lived a .thou- BU-\d f/Une! before it comes. The Christmas sweets are V tasted before they are taken from the tree. The Christmas _presents are revelled in uelore Santa Claus puts them on the sled. 'The human spirit, impatient under the re- straints of the clock, breaks away and lives Christmas before the pro- saic almanac grants permission. How_ poor the world would he if deprived of the pleasure of expectation. Good things would lose half their virtue if we could not enjoy them before we get them into our hands. Looking forward is one of the fountains at which wa drink life and vigor. Im- agine,if you can,dropping into Christ- mas in the twinkling of an eye, without the privilege of tasting it in advance! Christmas becomes tho great d_ay_o_f 'thc year, because it is preceded by such elaborate and long drawn and loving, preparation. To cut oi!_ allthat preceded Christmas would he like shearing the sun of its beams. - The whole year becomes brighter ~to everybody who has Christmas to look forward to.

si of th

Itil part of the mls on e

lChriatian religion to foster and de- ~velop the spirit of anticipation.I-Iope, says Ruskin, is the distinguishing -characteristic of the Christian faith. Christianity keeps us on the tiptoe of expectancy. It entices us to look ahead. It will not permit us to con- sider present situations final. No matter how high we climb we are directed to a still loftier height. However great our joy, there is a still sweeter blessedness ahead of us. Satisfaction with present attain- ments is forbidden, because of the mightier achievements within the compass of our developing powers. It was the habit of Jesus to keep his disciples' eyes on thc future. When they .were amazed by what they MW He thrilled them by saying, _"Ye shall ' see _ greater things than these. When' they were astounded by His miracles He assured them, "Greater things than these shall ye do." When they _exulted in their success, He re- minded them of their relationship to a world whose glories man cannot conceive. He Himself had the been of a child. He was always looking ahead. When He saw dark things immediately in front of Him He look- ed further.He always looked through the darkness into the light. 1-fc never spoke of Hts death without rc- lerring to what would happen on the uma day. For me Joy t at vel 11°* before Him Ho endured the A80” 0| the cron.
