Every year at this time we celebrate the season wivh a great show of trees and worse anyways y had their Roman cir. cus “celebration, awe have our CI lights, mistletoe and huty, greue quantities of artifict and Hop. ed-for anow and ice and johy, elderly gentlemen in winter clothes pulled in a sled by rein- deer and who distribute gifts in quantity from a never-failing sack, Every year, also, peonle will the growing - cialism of the whole thing” which is true) and the lack of real Christmas spirit (which is not.) The first charge we cannot refute. By way of apology how- ever, may we point out that we are no worse than our lawgivers, the'Romans — well, not much rush and we are only ng uae more Proftigate in lines and wealth than they were. Besides, every tree bears fruit after its own Kind, But the suggestion that the spirit has gone is, of course, ig- norance Every culture changes the form of ideas and customs that it adopts just as the quality of music composed for one in- strument is transposed and play. ed on another instrument, but this does not change the spirit and the essential form of that music.
