The following from the Hebron (Neb.)
Champion will be Of interest to many
readers:
The editor of The Champion was great
ly pleased to receive a most delightful
call from Mrs. E. c. Neal. who came up,
IN company with Mrs. J. E. Sawyer, of
Chester, to attend the w. C. T. U. con-
vention. 1t happened so: Mrs. Brainerd
met the lady at the church and learned
she was formerly from Augusta, Maine,
and as the editor had spent many days
at Winthrop, in old Kennebec county, it
being the county in which my mothers
folks were born during the past five gen.
erations, there naturally arose desire
IN the lady's heart to see typical
Yankee from the wilds 60 of Maine.
And we are very glad she came to see
US for she has Travelled extensively over
that part of Maine which we knew so
we'll in our boyhood days, and as she
knew many of our former friends, is it
any wonder that we were pleased to see
each other and talk over the old time
days. The lady is out here for a year on
her fine farm with her son, two miles
north Of Byron and as she is no near we
trust will call again.

CHRISTMAS HYMNS

HE earliest Christmas hymn was
undoubtedly the Gloria In Elk
celsis," which was probably one
Of the hymns which the Chris
tians were singing In church at
Christmas In Nicomedia. when
y Diocletian, the emperor, ordered
the church to be closed and the
s whole congregation. young and
old, burned to death.
i 1t Is strange that while we
know that Christmas and the
Epiphany were celebrated by
the singing OF hymns, no an.
! cient carols have come down
to us.
4 There Is an old carol dating
from the fifteenth century which
has the Gloria In E~xcelsis'' for
a refrain. 1t begins:
A babe was born all OF q maid
i To bring salvation unto US.
No more are we to sing afraid
veni creator spiritus.
4 One Of the best carols Of the
Elizabethan period Is that by
Robert Southwell. q Jesuit priest
: who was sent to convert Eng
land, but who was seized by her
Protestant Majesty Elizabeth
and imprisoned in the tower for
three years, and then, after sui.
! fering the torture q the rack.
was executed Feb. 3, 1894. It
begins:
7 Behold. a simple. tender babe
In freezing winter night:
In homely manager trembling lies.
Alas, a piteous sight!
During the protectorate Of OIL.
iver Cromwell the observance
Of Christmas was forbidden.
and yet there Is a Christmas
carol from the Puritan pen OF
George Wither, who was en-
riched and promoted by Crom-
well and thrown Into prison by
Charles. 1t begins:
I A. on the night before this happy
morn

Paul Gerhardt to whom we
are indebted for the Easter
hymn. "Jesus Lives" has also
given N a spirited Christmas
carol beginning "All my heart

In the midst Of the warlike
strife between King Charles
and his parliament in the year
1620 John Milton found both
leisure and repose to write his
hymn, ION the Morning Of the
Nativity" In which there are
evidently references to the dis
turbed condition Of things at

No war or battle sound
