# Our American Holidays - Christmas/As Joseph Was A Waukin'

CHRISTMAS CAROL
As Joseph was a-waukin'  He heard an angel sing, "This night shall be the birthnight  Of Christ our heavenly King.
"His birth-bed shall be neither  In housen nor in hall, Nor in the place of paradise,  But in the oxen stall.
"He neither shall be rockèd  In silver nor in gold, But in the wooden manger  That lieth in the mould.
"He neither shall be washen  With white wine nor with red, But with the fair spring water  That on you shall be shed.
"He neither shall be clothèd  In purple nor in pall, But in the fair, white linen  That usen babies all."
As Joseph was a-waukin',  Thus did the angel sing, And Mary's son at midnight  Was born to be our King.
Then be you glad, good people,  At this time of the year; And light you up your candles  For His star it shineth clear.

CHRISTMAS
ANON
Once in Royal David's city
 Stood a lowly cattle shed.
Where a mother laid her baby
 In a manger for His bed.
Mary was that mother mild,
 Jesus Christ that little child.
He came down to earth from Heaven,
 Who is God and Lord of all.
And his shelter was a stable,
 And his cradle was a stall.
With the poor and mean and lowly,
 Lived on earth our Saviour Holy.
And our eyes at last shall see Him
 Through His own redeeming love,
For that child so dear and gentle
 Is our Lord in Heaven above;
And He leads His children on
 To the place where He is gone.
Not in that poor, lowly stable,
 With the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him; but in Heaven,
 Set at God's right hand on high,
When, like stars, His children crowned
 All in white, shall wait around.
# Our American Holidays - Christmas/Ballade of Christmas Ghosts

BALLADE OF CHRISTMAS GHOSTS
ANDREW LANG
Between the moonlight and the fire In winter twilights long ago,
What ghosts we raised for your desire, To make your merry blood run slow! How old, how grave, how wise we grow! No Christmas ghost can make us chill, Save those that troop in mournful row, The ghosts we all can raise at will!
The beasts can talk in barn and byre On Christmas Eve, old legends know. As year by year the years retire, We men fall silent then I trow, Such sights hath memory to show, Such voices from the silence thrill, Such shapes return with Christmas snow,— The ghosts we all can raise at will.
Oh, children of the village choir, Your carols on the midnight throw, Oh, bright across the mist and mire, Ye ruddy hearths of Christmas glow! Beat back the dread, beat down the woe, Let’s cheerily descend the hill; Be welcome all, to come or go, The ghosts we all can raise at will.
ENVOY
Friend, sursum corda, soon or slow We part, like guests who’ve joyed their fill; Forget them not, nor mourn them so, The ghosts we all can raise at will.
# Our American Holidays - Christmas/Bells Across the Snow

BELLS ACROSS THE SNOWS
FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL
O Christmas, merry Christmas!
 Is it really come again,
With its memories and greetings,
 With its joy and with its pain?
There's a minor in the carol,
 And a shadow in the light,
And a spray of cypress twining
 With the holly wreath to-night.
And the hush is never broken
 By laughter light and low,
As we listen in the starlight
 To the "bells across the snow."
O Christmas, merry Christmas!
 'Tis not so very long
Since other voices blended
 With the carol and the song!
If we could but hear them singing
 As they are singing now,
If we could but see the radiance
 Of the crown on each dear brow;
There would be no sigh to smother,  No hidden tear to flow,
As we listen in the starlight
 To the "bells across the snow."
O Christmas, merry Christmas !
 This never more can be;
We cannot bring again the days
 Of our unshadowed glee.
But Christmas, happy Christmas,
 Sweet herald of good-will, With holy songs of glory
 Brings holy gladness still.
For peace and hope may brighten,
 And patient love may glow,
As we listen in the starlight
 To the "bells across the snow."

# Once a Week (magazine)/Series 3/Volume 7/Ah, Me!

Note: original spelling has been maintained.
AH, ME!
I MEASURE life by gravestones, not by years; They are the milestones on my life’s highway;
For rain of Heaven they have been wet with tears —
Are wet to-day!
Tears of the heart, not of the clouded eye, Bedew these sepulchres of blighted blooms,
Where, unresponsive, the beloved ones lie
In far-off tombs.
Dear friends, who journeyed with me hand in hand,
And dropped way-worn, leaving sad me behind,
To seek alone that bright and better land Faith looks to find.
My baby-buds, sweet blossoms of my love, With sentient leaves expanding day by day;
Whose essence envious Death exhaled above, And left me—clay.
Fair human forms surrendered to the dust, My human tears may dew your verdant graves;
But there are buried hopes—uncofhned trusts — Where no grass waves.
There will be resurrection of the dead
Parted humanity expects to meet
All smiles and love — where never tears are shed—
In bliss complete.
Some hopes died early, others in their prime, And the heart shrouds them in a viewless pall;
But they will rise not in the after-time
At any call.
I measure life by gravestones, not by years; And these, intangible, count with the seen; The dead hopes buried in a rain of tears— The “should have been.”
And not I, only — for, alas! all men Inurn dead hopes within their secret souls, But seldom mark their graves for mortal ken
With open scrolls.

OP-EDS SHOW SUPPORT FOR OBAMA IN THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY
______
HON. CHARLES B. RANGEL
OF NEW YORK
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Mr. RANGEL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to introduce three Opinion Editorials from the New York CaribNews that reflect the unprecedented special excitement that the nomination of Barack Obama for President has caused in our Caribbean community in New York. CaribNews is a New York based publication that serves as the voice of the Caribbean community.
The editorials, all published in the June 17, 2008 publication, are entitled: "Propelled by the Wind of Change Democrats Choose Obama: What an Excellent Choice to Lead the Party Into Race for the White House," "Obama and the Deepening of American Democracy," and "Caribbean Hearts are Swelling with Pride as Obama's Victory Sinks In."
The editorials all reflect a great exhilaration for Obama's candidacy within the New York Caribbean community. Each piece points out how extraordinary the results are of this historical primary and the reactions of Caribbean Americans. One of the pieces quotes a Caribbean- American who said, "[Obama] comes across as a people person with whom we can relate." Another Jamaican-American woman said, "What a pity the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. isn't around to see this."
One editorial summarizes the consensus among the Caribbean community the best; "Barack Obama has beckoned a new generation to the noble task of remaking America and remaking the world. He has brought millions of new voters into the electoral process." But, the Caribbean community has not forgotten about Hillary Clinton and the socio- political significance of her campaign. There is a general belief that she is an important part of the new era of the Democratic Party and also represents the new direction this country is taking on race and gender equality.

But for the brooks and waterfalls up high That cheerfully sprinkled every gorge and dell, But for the clouds and rainbows in the sky, But for the nature’s of all sweetest spell.
But for the lucid fountains we did share, Wherefrom our hearts would drink delights so true, But for the primroses and bindweeds there, No, nothing happened there between us two.

ORDER CONCERNING THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF EDUCATION IN THE PHILIPPINES
February 17, 1942
Mr. Jorge B. Vargas Chairman of the Executive Commission of the Philippines Manila
In compliance with the following principles, utmost efforts should be made to renovate the education in the Philippines.
(1) To make the people understand the position of the Philippines as a member of the East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, the true meaning of the establishment of a New Order in the sphere and the share which the Philippines should take for the realization of the New Order, and thus to promote friendly relations between Japan and the Philippines to the farthest extent.
(2) To eradicate the old idea of the reliance upon the Western Nations, especially upon the U. S. A. and Great Britain, and to foster a new Filipino culture based on the self-consciousness of the people as Orientals.
(3) To endeavor to elevate the morale of the people, giving up the over emphasis of materialism.
(4) To strive for the diffusion of the Japanese language in the Philippines, and to terminate the use of English in due course.
(5) To put an importance to the diffusion of elementary education and to the promotion of vocational education.
(6) To inspire the people with the spirit to love labor.
Note. — In order to popularize the Philippine national language, Tagalog, proper means should be taken as early as possible, after a study by the Institute of National Language in the Department of Education, Health and Public Welfare.

# Palestine Exploration Fund - Quarterly Statement for 1894/Music

VII.—Music.
Although the Jews of Europe have long been distinguished as musicians, there is no doubt that the music of the Temple, like all other Oriental music, was rude and monotonous. The instruments used were wind (Nehiloth) and stringed (Neginoth) with various instruments for beating. The silver trumpet was accompanied by the Shophar or ram's horn, and a horn of the ibex with a gold mouthpiece (Rosh hash Shanah, iii, 3) proclaimed the new year. The halil or "pipe" no doubt resembled that still in use, and the abub was a reed pipe. The harp and lute (nebel) were also sacred instruments (Kelim, xv, 6), but the Levites' lute differed from that of the ordinary singer, in having no hole in the body of the instrument. Marcuph (מרכוף) or the "musical horse" (Kelim, xv, 6; xvi, 7) was a wooden instrument like a horse, and considered pure; but Niktemon (נקתמון, with certain kinds of harp and timbrel, wer profane instruments (Kelim, xv, 6): these instruments were carried in cases (xvi, 7). The cymbal was used in the Temple court (Succah, v, 4), at the feast of Tabernacles, with harps, lutes, and trumpets. A peculiar instrument (Tamid, iii, 8) was the Magrupha (מגרופה) which, according to some, was only the fire shovel of the altar, but according to others a gong. That it made a loud noise is certain, and the word also means a "spoon." The musical instruments of the Mishnah are in short, with few exceptions, those of the Bible, to which the Toph or small drum still in use must be added.
* ↑ Greek names for musical instruments, Κίθαρος Σαμβύκη Ψαλτήριον and Σνμφονία, are said to occur in the Book of Daniel (iii, 5, 29), but it is not certain that any of these words are of Greek origin. The second was of foreign origin, and all may have been derived from Persians or Medes.
* ↑ Dr. Chaplin, in writing to me, compares the modern Nâkûs used in Christian churches and monasteries in Palestine instead of a bell; and says that the Magrupha is described as a curved and perforated piece of iron.
# Palestine Exploration Fund - Quarterly Statement for 1894/Note on the Marble Fragment from Jebail

NOTE ON THE MARBLE FRAGMENT FROM JEBAIL.
By the Rev. D. Lee Pitcairn.
The marble fragment from Jebail, of which Mr. F. J. Bliss sends a photograph to the April number of the Quarterly Statement, bears a striking likeness to the image of the Ephesian Diana, of which there is an antique statue in the Naples Museum, engraved in Falkener's "Ephesus," Fairbairn's "Bible Dictionary," &c. This image has the form of an Asiatic idol rather than of a Greek statue. It has many beasts (quam Græci πολυμαστήν vocant. Jerome), to signify the All-Mother, Nature; and below is shaped like a mummy. The bands and panels, the few inches of drapery, and the protruding toes are found in the statue ​just as in the fragment from Jebail. The symbols of lions and oxen are also found on the statue, though not in the same positions as in the fragment.
Is it not likely that the fragment, instead of being a mere pillar or caryatid, is part of a similar statue of the Ephesian Diana?
# Palestine Exploration Fund - Quarterly Statement for 1894/Note on the Swastica

NOTE ON THE SWASTICA.
By Rev. Prof. T. F. Wright, Ph.D.
In the very interesting papers by Herr von Schick and Major Conder in the Quarterly Statement for July the swastica is figured on pp. 187 and 206, with brief comments. The form is—
It may not be unimportant, as indicating the wide extension of this primitive type, to say that numbers of them were found in excavating for the Columbian Exposition the Hopewell Mound, in Ohio, U.S.A. In this mound more copper was found than had been obtained from all previously explored mounds, also silver, mica, sharks' teeth, quartz, crystals, and obsidian. The copper had apparently been hammered cold and cut by stone chisels to various forms, prominent among which is the swastica in many sizes, very neatly done. The same has been found in Mexico and Peru. Americans can as yet offer no explanation of this connection between Troy and our aborigines.
