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
in lt.

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°*
