HOW WE GOT OUR
CHRISTMAS HYMNS.

Many popular Christmas hymns
have a most interesting history. Those
who have heard the waits and carol
ers sing "Hark. the Herald Angels
Singr on Christmas eve will be aston
ished to know that many years ago II
was rendered ."Hark. How All the
WeIkin 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 a great storm of criticism
from those who prefer the modern YER
sion. The hymn was written by
Charles Wesley.
The author of christians, Awake;
Salute the Happy Morn!" was John
Byron. Manchester's famous man of
letters. who was born at Kersal in 1851.
Byron had several children. but. like
many another father, there was ia
vorite. This child was little girl
named Dolly. A few days previous to
Christmas MIR. Byron, after having
a romp with the favorite, Dolly,
promised TO write her something nice
for Christmas morning On the morn
Ing of the great day. when she sat
down to breakfast, she found on her
plate an envelope, addressed to her in
her fathers handwriting. 1t was the
first thing she opened, and, to her
great delight. 1t proved to be a Christ
mas carol addressed to her, and to her
alone.
Another very popular Christmas
hymn Is that entitled "As With Glad
ness Men Of Old" 1t is remarkable
that this cheerful hymn was written
at time of great depression. The
author. William Chatterton Dix, who
died In 1900, had been seriously III for
long time. and he was feeling dis
consulate and miserable.
One evening. after he had been some
weeks in bed, he felt great deal
better. and while In this improved state
he conceived the idea Of writing q
Christmas hymn, end as result OF
this we get "As With Gladness Men OF
Old"
"Once In Royal David's City" is the
most popular Christmas hymn for chill
dren. 1t was written by Mrs. Alex
| ander. who also wrote those famous
hymns, There Is Green Hill Fan
Away" and I'VE Are but Little Chill
dren Weak"
