girls too sometimes gather and serenade the happy couple until the party Is In vited In to a treat If It takes all night The holidays are always times of sport but of a kind which the cities and the east know nothing of Tor Instance there Is the neighborhood hunt when all the young men form sides nod agree on a scale of points for each animal likely to be found at large Then after a day of

church to diverge from It us widely as possible This divergence went much further I huh a difference In and church ritual It aimed at the destruction of everything which would tend tit keep the mem ory of the old religion or foster a lore for Its ornate ceremonies and beautiful architecture There were no trimmers among those harsh Calvinism They did not approve of half measures so they demolished most of the cathe drals In Scotland and the less preten tious religious were of those aids to devotion deemed so In Catholic churches To make the work of reform complete they saints days and holiday day alone preserved In the general proscription Since those times excepting among Scottish and Cath olics tbe celebration of Christmas fell Into desuetude and until quite recent years was no more regarded by the great bulk of the people of Scotland than any other secular day In the year The oh servance of New Years day was still continued hut the celebration of It bad scarcely any religious significance and was almost solely festive In character But a change has been taking place in Scottish sentiment regarding Christmas for some years past This Is probably due In part to greater liberality In sphere of rsllglous thought but mostly I imagine to the Influence of English Ideas and to the fact that such an ob servance Is fashionable Establish ed Church the National Presbyterian Church of Scotland for soma time has been assimilating to the Church of Eng land in ceremonial part of Its wor ship A form of ritual Is frequently used and in some of the fashionable Scottish churches vestments are worn by the min isters which not so long ago would hove provoked some Jenny to hurl a stool at the bead of tbe wearer more general observance of Christmas followed as a matter of course and Seottlsh people generally took more kind ly to It than they did either to the ritual or clerical vestments When I was In Edinburgh a few years ago service held on In many of Presbyterian churches the Scottish capital Gifts were given Christmas greetings exchanged and the day generally regarded as a holiday Its celebration however fell far short of Now Years day which Is still holi day par excellence of Scotland It la difficult to conceive how Christ mas can ever become In Scotland what It Is In England Germany acd many oth er countries In these lands earliest and most pleasant recollection of a life time center around the day and even In years mysterious lights and shadows are from It upon mind There is really no sentiment this kind In Scotland I do not think
