Don't remove presents from the tree
while 1t is lighted.
Don't leave anything highly infam-
mable near the tree.
Don't set the tree up haphazardly.
Be sure 1t is securely fastened so it
Will not tip over easily.
Don't blow a candle out. The fame
might be carried against dry branch
and set fire to the whole tree.
Don't fasten any tinsel ornament
near any lights on the tree. If one
should ignite the blaze would spread
all over the tree.
Don't forget to fasten the candles

used. Also avoid placing them un-

The first Christmas carol
In history is the "Gloria In Excelsis"
found In the Roman mass, and In the
Episcopal Book of Common Prayer. II
is ascribed to Telesphorus, bishop of
Rome, about the year A. d. 139, and
is common Ia both the eastern and
western churches.
An old English carol begins with the
notable words:
Behold a simple. tender babe
In freezing winter night
In homely manger trembling lies,
Alas, plteous sight.
The higher critics" have wondered
how the shepherds could watch their
fiocks by night even In winter In
Judea. but this presented no difficulty
TO Robert Southwell, the author of this
quaint carol, who as a Jesuit was I'm
prisoned In the Tower of London, and.
after enduring the tortures OF the rack,
was executed In 1894.
A popular carol among the Germans
is one written by Martin Luther for
his little son Hans. II begins:
From the highest heaven l come TO tell
The gladdest news which e'er befeli.
A very sad story Is told in connec-
tlon with this carol. In order to give
II realistic effect In a 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 very beautiful but
dangerous Christmas custom.
At q 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.

OF the "Good Queen Bess," wrote a
carol which begins IL sing the Birth
