Magary in Detroit Free Press ‘cf our Christmas customs, one might go back -to Libanius, who | came from Antioch to Athens, in | the Fourth century, and became | philosophy. He was the friend and | teacher of Chrysoston, who later 'became a bishop and one of the| | great preachers of the early church, “The festival of Kalends,” says | Libanius, “Is celebrated everywhere, ‘as far as the limits of the Roman | | empire extend. . . . The impulse‘, tc spend seizes everyone. . Peo-‘ ple are not only g:nerous townrd | themselves, but also generous to- | ward their fellow men. A stream | of presents pours itself out on all' sides. . . . The Kalends festival vanishes all that is connected with teil and allows men to give them- | selves to undisturbed enjoyment. | | From the minds of the young peo- | pl2, it removes two kinds of dread, | the dread of the schoolmaster and | | the dread of the stern pedagog.| Another great quality of the fes- tival is that it teaches men not to hold too fast to their money, but to part with it and let it fall into | other hands.” In all the periods of history, it | has been found good to have spec- | ial seasons of good will, when friendship could express itself and when the prosperous could be re- minded of their obligation to the poor. The Old Testament law provided that, at the feast of the Passover, the poor should be re- membered. ‘“Thou shalt rejoice be- fore the Lord, thou and thy son and thy daughter, thy man-servant jand thy maid-servant, the strang- er, the fatherless and the widow . and thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypl. Life through all the year would | be poorer without this season in which, with the modern American, like the ancient Roman, “the im- pulse to spend seizes everyons,” |and “a stream of presents pours ‘iuseli out on all sides.” Among the | impulsive actions for which we are | afterward sorry, we do not include | our giving. It is a pleasant com-| mentary on our nature that we may look back and think we were that we were fools.
