The Holy Thorn \ Of Glastonbury

Th. source said the decision was the habit oi products: 110w"! ken at a six-power conference each Christmas Eve. gelled to consider the future of the The first literary mention of the

thorn is contained in Hume's History and Antiquities of Glas- tonbury, published in 1722. In this work, Mr. Eyston states “Whether it sprang from St. Joseph o! Aiimathaea’: dry stall, I cannot ﬁnd. but beyond all dispute it sprang up miraculously."

when Britain adopted the Gre- gorian calendar in 1753, 2.000 per- sons assembled at Glastonbury on December 25—new style-to see l! the Holy Thorn would bloom in agreement with the new calendar; when it did not. many refused to participate in the usual observan- ces of Christmas. The evil cl chanting calendars was pnwli when the thorn blossomed onJan- uary 5—Chrlstmas Eve-old style -and many ministers in the vic- inity of Glastonbury appeused their congregations by announcing that Christmas would be observed according to the old calendar.

A cutting of the Glastonbury thorn was brought to America in i900 and planted near St. Moon's school in Washington, D. C.. by the late Right Rev. Henry Gates Salter-lee The cutting grew into a. tree. blossoming for the ﬁrst time in December, i918: since iheri, it has blossomed each vear at Christmastide and attracts thousands of visitors annually.

ieifare at all. It doesn't even occur to him that you are sacrificing your youth to him. He does not want boys to come to see you be- cause he is afraid you might fall in love with one of them and leave him, and that would interfere with his comfort. Besides. you are" cheaper and much more efficient than nny servant he could hire.

PATHETIC SITUATION

l think there is no more pathetic situation in life than that of the girl in her early teens who, through her mother's death, is suddenly thrust into her mother's place and forced to assume duties and obliga- tions that are not of her making.

I do not believe that any child is called upon to sacrifice his or her life to parents. Undoubtedly children owe a great duty to their fathers snd mothers. but it does not involve their giving up every chance of happiness to a father's or a mother's whim.

So I think that if your father refuses to let you go out with nice young men or let them come to see you in the proper way, you will be justified in leaving him to the tender mercies of a hired servant, while You get a job and work for an employer who does not consider that he has a right to tyrannize over you. But don't get married just to get sway from home. That is jumping out of the frying pan into the fire, because very often husbands are just as bossy as fathers.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am young. good-looking, popular. have

a fine job and earn a good salary. but I am miserable because life bores me. Everything seems hopeless to me. What are we put on this earth for. anyhow’! ' ONE WITHOUT HOPE.

ANSWER: To do something for other people. To try to make the world a better place because we have lived in it. To make others hap- pier because we minister f0 them. That is the real meaning of life. If you tried doing something for other people and quit worrying over yourself. you would find out what we were put here for.

It is only the self-centered who are bored. For there is no one and nothing of whom wc can get so tired as ourselves.

DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: I have been married for four years and have three very small children. My husband makes a yery poor salary and we are constantly in debt. Naturally he is worried and is subject to sudden outbursts of nerves nnd temper. When things go wrong he tells me he wishes he had never married. and sometimes he suggests that I go back to my family.

d 1 love him and believe he loves the children and me. although he ﬂesh f. show it. I am a good manager. work hard and try to make a Peaceful and happy home. What do you advise me to do? ' ' UNl-IAPPY WIFE.

u ANSWER: The thing that is the matter with your husband is lack momoney, not lack of love for you and the children. It is the lack of ".119? that makes domesticity a burden under which his courage with- om Ind his strength fails. If he were a bette report, he would not take ma on you his folly of marrying before he was ready for it. but you ‘my; wtell pity him for the agony he is enduring in being crushed by his o debt and his hopelessness when he looks to the future.

. If your family is willing and are in a position to have you with them. Svﬁor a shgrt stay. It might help matters somewhat. It would at least Ind dour“ usband time to reflect upon how fine and brave you are, "My urelal so how much he loves you and the children. and that you and m‘ n e s only solace in his misfortune. And with this knowledge, he y rid the courage to buck up and cnrry on.
