Yet unt now no adequate bundle of Christmas treasure in poetry and prose has found its way into tt library of Santa Glaus. While this book brings to children of a ages, in school and at home, the best lyric carols, essays, plays and stories of Christma its scope is yet wider. For the Introductio gives a rapid view of the holiday's origin an development, its relation to cognate pagan fes tivals, the customs and symbols of its observanc in different lands, and the significance and spir; of the day. This Introduction endeavors to b as suggestive as possible to parents and teachex who are personally conducted and introduced t the host of writers learned and quaint, huma and pedantic, humorous and brilliant and prc found, who have dealt technically with this fas cinating subject* INTRODUCTION It was the habit of him whose birthday we celebrate to take what was good in men and remould it to uses* higher And so it is pecul- iarly fitting that the anniversary of Christmas, when it was first celebrated in the second cen- tury of our era should have taken from heathen mythology and customs the more beautiful " parts for its own use. Christmas," says Dean " Stanley, brings before us the relations of the Christian religion to the religions which went before; for the birth at Bethlehem was itself a link with the past." * The pagan nations of antiquity always had a tendency to worship the sun, under different names, as the giver of light and life. And their festivals in its honor took place near the winter solstice, the shortest day in the year, when the sun in December begins its upward course, thrilling men with the first distant promise of spring. This holiday was called Saturnalia among the Romans and was marked by great merriment and licence which extended even to the slaves. There were feasting and * An account of the early history of Christmas may to found in Chamber's Book of Day* Hi !v CHRISTMAS houses were with ever- gifts and the hung form of these re- greens. A more barbarous the rude of joicings took place among peoples the north where great blocks of wood blazed in honor of Odin and Thor, and sacrifices of men and cattle were made to them. Mistletoe was cut then from the sacred oaks with a golden sickle by the Prince of the Druids, be- tween whom and the Fire-Worshippers of Per- sia there was an affinity both in character and customs. The ancient Goths and Saxons called this festival Yule, which is preserved to us in the Scottish word for Christmas and also in the name of the Yule Log*. The ancient Teutons celebrated the season by decking a fir tree, for they thought of the sun, riding higher and higher in the heavens, as the spreading and blossoming of a great tree. Thus our own Christmas fir was decked as a symbol of the celestial sun tree. The lights, according to Professor Schwartz, represent the flashes of lightning overhead, the golden apples, nuts and balls symbolize the sun, the moon and the stars, while the little animals htu&g in the branches betoken sacrifices made in gratitude to the sun god* As Christianity replaced paganism, the Chris- * A delightful account of the origin of th Christ- mas tree may be found in Elise Traufa Christmas in Heart and Home, INTRODUCTION v tians, in the tolerant spirit of their Master, adopted these beautiful old usages, merely changing their spirit.

  • Complaints and Disorders
    The medical system is strategic for women’s liberation. It is the guardian of reproductive technology – birth control, abortion, and the means for safe childbirth. It holds the promise of Complaints freedom from hundreds of unspoken fears and complaints that have handicapped women throughout history. When we demand AND control over our own bodies, we are making that demand above all to the medical system. It is the keeper of the keys. But the medical system is also strategic to women’s oppression. Medical science has been one of the most powerful sources of sexist ideology in our culture. Justifi cations for sexual Disorders discrimination – in education, in jobs, in public life – ultimately The Sexual Politics of Sickness rest on the one thing that differentiates women from men: their bodies. Theories of male superiority ultimately rest on biology. Medicine stands between biology and social policy, between the “mysterious” world of the laboratory and everyday life. It makes public interpretations of biological theory; it dispenses the medical fruits of scientifi c advances. Biology discovers hormones; doctors make public judgments on whether “hormonal unbalances” make women unfi t for public offi ce. More generally, biology traces the origins of disease; doctors pass judgment on who is sick and who is well. Medicine’s prime contribution to sexist ideology has been to describe women as sick, and as potentially sickening to men.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The very first images of civilization and city in Georges Méliès fiction films are described in the article. His vision of "islands" of a civilization in the middle of a stony landscape and active aircraft traffic were adopted by science-fiction cinema later. In his travel films, the director creates the image of civilization not so much with the help of the spatial environment, but with references to the world of science, entertainment and spectacular urban culture. Méliès became the author of the first images of city roofs, the Middle Age city screen myth, and the confrontation of traditional city and modern technical civilization. Keywords: silent cinema, Georges Méliès, An Adventurous Automobile Trip, the Legend of Rip van Winkle, Christmas Dream, city, civilization, distraction, locations In this case, however, an image of a city is even I.

  • The Message of Love
    The Message of Love Dorothy Day The Catholic Worker, December 1950, 1, 2. Summary: A Christmas-time reflection on the state of the world torn by the Korean war and poverty in the midst of plenty in the United States. Points to the Gospel message of peace, love of enemies, and love of one another–“It is the only word for Christmas when love came down to the mire, to teach us that love.” Keywords: pacifism, conscientious objection (DDLW #617). We do not stand in high places like Joseph in Egypt, like Mordecai and Daniel, the advisers of Kings. We do not know the Stalins, the Churchills and the Trumans of this world and no one is waiting for our words on the great and weighty questions of the day as they wait on the words of these others to hear their fate. We would rather be like the Joseph who found a birthplace for Jesus in a stable, who fled into Egypt (at the bidding of an angel) and lived in a foreign land and was a d.p.[displaced person] and worked with his hands for his bread. Jesus Christ, Son of God, Maker of Heaven and Earth, lived for 33 years in an occupied country, Archbishop Byrnes said once. He didn’t lead any Underground movement. Of course, he said, “Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s,” we have heard that often enough. But St. Hilary interprets that to mean that if we have little of Caesar we don’t have to render very much to him.
