"A Visit From
St. Nicholas"

WHIAAr is the best sd known "vn poem in
gy," nor 1.-The Song of the
Shirt" nor 'The Raven" but 1.-THE
Night Before Christmas" The author
is not so well known as his poem.
One recent Christmas the name of
| Clement Clarke Moore was honored as
never before. Above his grave in the
chapel of Holy Trinity cemetery, New
York, the choir boys sang carols on the
night before Christmas, and service
of light was held. This beautiful cere-
monial starts with a procession of
torchbearers whose torches are kindled
from the leaders flame, and as the line
winds through the graveyard the fire
is passed back from one to another un-
til the lights grow in number and dis
pei the surrounding darkness.
The father of Clement Clarke Moore
was once the bishop of New York.
1.-THE Night Before Christmas" was
published originally without the au-
thor's knowledge in the Troy Sentinel
two days before Christmas, 1923.
Moore had written it the preceding
Christmas just for the delight of his
own children, but its circulation slip
ped beyond the family circle, and an
unknown friend sent it for publication.
The Sentinel readers paid no attention
to 1t, and 1t passed without comment
until seven years later. when the same
paper reprinted it. The second recep-
ton was very different from the first.
"a Visit From st. Nicholas" as 1t was
then entitled, was copied broadcast,
and its author awoke to find his work,
If not himself, famous.
Although Clement Clarke Moore was
educated for the ministry, he never
took orders. For the greater part Of
his life he was identified with the New
York General Theological seminary,
being professor of Biblical learning
and Greek and later of oriental lam
guages.
Clement Moore's family life had many
sorrows. His wife died at the early
age of thirty-fve, and the two little
daughters, for whom he wrote 1.-THE
Night Before Christmas" both died In
their childhood. His son and name
sake lived to the age of sfxty-eight and
is buried in the family plot.
When 1.-THE Night Before Christmas"
was first published in the Troy Senti-
mel the editor wrote:

indebted for the following description
