First Xmas Carol
Found in the
Roman Mass

Carols were originally accompanied
with dance, and this carol dancing is
part of the rhythmic movement of the
Oberammergau play, as well as of the
dances of the Shakers of Lebanon in
New York state.
The first Christmas carol in history
is the "Gloria in Excelsis" found in the
Roman mass, and in the Episcopal
Book of Common Prayer. 1t is as
cribed to Telesphorus, bishop of
Rome, about the year A. D. 1879, and
is common in both the eastern and
western churches.
An old English carol begins with
the notable words:
Behold simple, tender babe
In freezing winter night,
In homely manger trembling lies,
Alas, piteous sight.
The "higher critics" have wondered
how the shepherds could watch their
flocks by night, even in winter in
Judea, but this presented no difficulty
to Robert Southwell, the author of this
quaint carol, who as Jesuit was i'm
prisoned in the Tower of London; and,
after enduring the fortunes of the
rack, was executed in 1894.
A popular carol among the Ger
mans is one written by Martin Luther
for his little son Hans. 1t begins:
From the highest heaven l come to
tell

angels from the Realms of Glory
is by the great hymn writer James
Montgomery, who for thirty years
edited Sheffield newspaper in Eng
land. He is often COMPOUNDED with
Robert Montgomery, who was ridi-
culed and denounced by Macaulay.
"Sing a Song This Blessed Morn"
was written by Bishop Christopher
Wordsworth, nephew of the great
English poet and father of the present
Bishop of Salisbury. DR.. Wordsworth
| was Master of Harrow, Canon of
| Westminster, and Bishop of Lincoln.
"While Shepherds Watched Their
Flocks by Night" is by Nahum Tate,
poet laureate, associated with the
Tate and Brady version of the Psalms.
He died when in prison for debt.
The popular hymn "Christians
Awake, Salute the Happy Morn," was
written by John Byron, Lancashire
man, who was esteemed a good scholar
,, and poet in his day. He was born in
| Manchester in 1891.
The two eminent sweet singers of
the church, John Keble and Reginald
Heber, bishop of Calcutta, have writ
ten Christmas hymns, but they lack
those elements of popular song which
constitute the Christmas carol. Keble
sweetly sings:
Like circles widening round
Upon a clear blue river,
Orb after orb the wondrous sound
Is echoed on forever,
Glory to God on high, on earth be

Angels sang with mirth and glee


In this "Grace collection" there is a
carol commencing "Over the world on
Christmas MORN" by DR.. Mackay
Smith.
The uncouth carol of the sixteenth
century has given place to the popu-
lar Christmas hymn of later days.
Wherever the English language is
spoken Charles Wesley's hymn, "Hark,
the Herald Angels Sing" finds place
in the sanctuary. 1t is also translated
into the languages of India, China and
Japan. It's author was the brother of
the founder of Methodism. He was a
true poet and a perfect hymn writer.
His masterpiece is the beautiful hymn
"Jesus, Lover of My SOUL" which was
sung by the Princess Alice at the
deathbed of the prince consort of
England, the lamented husband of
Queen Victoria.
"Come all We faithful" is the "Ades-
tie Fideles" of the Latin, and came
originally from the pen of Aurelius
Clemens Prudentius, native of Spain,
who flourished about the latter half of
the fourth century. There is another
hymn by the same Latin author which
begins with "Of the Fathers love be-
gotten"
We have two well-born Christmas
carols by American writer's. 30 Little
Town of Bethlehem" was written by
the popular Boston divine, Phillips
Brooks. "Shout the Glad Tidings, Ex-
ulting Sing" was composed by DR..
Muhlenburg, the founder of the
Church of the Holy Communion, St.

The gladdest news which e'er befell.

The gladdest news which e'er befell.
A very sad story is told in connec-
ton with this carol. In order to give
it realistic effect in certain Luther
an church it used to be sung by boy
let down from the roof of the church
dressed as an angel. But one day the
rope broke, and the boy was killed
This put an end to a very beautiful
but dangerous Christmas custom.
At time when the liturgical and
biblical plays were popular the
Christmas carol was an important
feature. In Italy in the time of St
Francis of Assist, in order to instruct
the people, the villagers came to the
church carrying lighted torches, and
there they saw the scene of the man
ger filled with hay, and the OK and ass
standing in their places near the
Virgin and Child. Then it was that
St. Francis and his friars stood by the
Manager all night long, giving Goo
thanks that by this means the hearts
of the people had been touched.
"Rare old Ben Jonson," in the days
of the "Good Queen Bess," wrote a
carol which begins ~ sing the Birth
was born tonight" And about that
time appeared a very popular carol
which is sung in "Merrie England
even to the present day, the first line
of which is "God rest you, merrie
gentlemen" Some old Christmas car
OILS have come down to us in half La
tin and half English. Among them is
a carol which appears in the collection
for Grace church, New York city:
When Christ was born of pure Marie
In Bethlehem, that fair cite,

peace.

The lines of the gentle Heber have
their lesson in these days of CONNER
cial unrest:
If gayly clothed and proudly fed,
In dangerous wealth we dwell;
Remind US of thy manger bed
And lowly cottage cell.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1920-12-08
Christmas Customs

There are many pretty customs
which are observed at Christmas
time in different countries. One of
the prettiest of these customs is thus
described by traveller in Sweden. He
writes: Zone wintry afternoon at
Christmas tide l had been skating on
a pretty lake three miles from Gothen-
burg. On my way home noted that
at every farmers house there was
erected, in the middle of the dooryard,
a pole, to the top of which was bound
a large, full sheaf of grain. This, |
was informed, was for the little wild
birds. They must have a merry
Christmas, too I was told. Not a pea
SAINT in Sweden will sit down with his
children to Christmas dinner indoors
until he has first raised aloft Christ
mas dinner for the little birds that
live in the cold and snow outside"

dollars for autos the past year and
