RESEARCH CLUB CHRISTMAS PARTY i Twenty-three members enjoyed the Research Club Christmas party the home of Mrs. L. A. Cowens, | Monday afternoon. A committee, headed by Mrs. C. C. Pumphrey and assisted by Mrs. j W. Guy Brown and Mrs. L. A. Graham served a delicious luncheon at . one o’clock. All appointments I carried out the Yuletide motif. An unusually interesting program followed. This was in charge of I Mrs. Leo Saylors, the leader for the afternoon. A trio, composed of the Mesdames W. J. Krick, Leo Saylors and R. W. Graham sang "Holy is His Name" set to Handel’s Largo. This same group formed a quartet with Mrs. C. M. Prugh, singing “It Came Upon the Midnight Clear.” Mrs. Saylors then read the Christmas story—in prophecy from the Book of Isaiah, the familiar story as told by St. Luke and continued in the gosphel of Matthew and the completion of the story as told by St. John. Following this, Mrs. Saylors read a splendid paper on “The Origin of I Christmas Customs.” | “Men have been gift-conscious at I what is now our Christmas-tide I since the first memory of man; for ’ always there had been prophecies ’ of a gift, a Saviour, to be bestowed at the time of the winter solstice. Before the Christian era the Romans celebrated the benevolence of Saturn. On what is now our Christmas day came later the “Birthday of the Unconquered One” In honor of Mitras, the Persian sun god. The

hearty Northerners called their festivities "Yol" (Yule) In honor of the unseen spirit who turned the wheel of the weather, ’bringing fruit- : fill seasons and good cheer. The I Jew celebrated his great winter fes-p tlval "The Feast of Light" and be-i queathed to us our Christmas! candles. Christmas greens include misletoe and holly. The holly wreath i speaks of tlmelessness. The circle : being endless, in a symbol of eternity while any green leaves that 1 survive winter were thought to have supernatural powers. An old legend records the transition of the Christmas tree from a i pagan to a Christian symbol. St. Boniface once came upon a gioup of Hessians preparing Io offer a humman sacrifice to a great oak tree. He ordered the ceremony: stoppl'd and the tree chapped down. . As the tree fell, a young fir tree was for the first time noticed growing between the 'broken branches of the oak. The earnest missionary said it was a symbol of Christianity —of peace and everlasting life. The first Santa was St. Nicholas,! Bishop of Myra. He was rich and loved to give secret gifts to the poor. One night a grateful father stayed up to thank this unknown giver and the first Santa was caught with his sack of gifts on his back. The first Chrietmas card was a small sketch sent by an English ar-1 list to a friend in 1844. In 1562 "Merry Christmas" was printed on visiting cards. Later some brave publisher added a sprig of mistletoe; and from these small beginnings grew the artistic cards we' now have. There is a wonderful wealth of Christmas music. From ancient times Christians have celebrated the coming of the Christ Child with jubilant praise, cradle song and stately hymn, simple carols and anthems bear the homage of the heart to Jesus, the gift of God," Mrs. Saylors closed by saying, "When I wish you all a Merry ■ Christmas, it is the simple joy and , spiritual beauty of Christmas that I I am wishing for you. May your “presents" be less and your haippi-1 ness tar greater." The quartet sang Piper's “Christ- , mas Lullaby" and “(.’antique de 1 Noel.” Mrs. R. W. Graham, soloist, ! sang “Birthday of a King.” Mrs. Carrie Haubold accompanied al! musical numbers. A brief business meeting followed after which the club adjourned for the holiday season. The first meeting of the new year will be held January 3, at the home ot Mrs. , J. F. Fruchte with Mrs. Dan Sprang as leader. Election of officers will: take place at this time.
