HOW WE GOT OUR
CHRISTMAS HYMNS.

Many popular Christmas hymns
have a most interesting history. Those
who have heard the waits and CAROL
err sing "Hark. the Herald Angels
Bingl'' on Christmas eve will be aston.
ished to know that many years ago II
was rendered "Hark. How All the
welkin Rings" and was sung to the
tune of "See. the Conquering Hero
Comes" When this former wording
was adopted In the new hymn book Of
the Hymns Ancient and Modern"
there was great storm OF criticism
from those who prefer the modern yer.
don The hymn wns written by
Charles Wesley.
fhe author of "Christlans. Awake;
Salute the Happy Norm was John
Byron, Manchester's famous man OF
letters. who was born at Kersal in 1901.
Byron had several children. but, like
many another father, there was n IA

named Dolly. A few days previous 10

her fathers handwriting. II was the
asst thing she opened, and, to her
great delight, II proved 20 be Christ
mas carol addressed to her. and to her
alone.
Another very popular Christmas
hymn 10 that entitled "As With Glad
ness Men OF Old" 1t Is remarkable
that this cheerful hymn was written
at q time OF great depression. The
author. William Chatterton Dix, who
cied in 1900. had been seriously III for
q long time, and he was feeling dis.
eonsolate and miserable.
One evening. after he had been some
weeks In bed, he felt n great deal
better, and while in this improved state
be conceived the idea OF writing n
Christmas hymn. and as result Of
this we get "As With Gladness Men Of
Old"
"Once In Royal Davld's City" Is the
most popular Christmas hymn for chill
dren. II wns written by Mrs. Alex.

,ymns. There Is Green Hill Far
