lar Christmas hymn Of later days.
Wherever the English language is
spoken Charles Wesley's hymn, "Hark,
the Herald Angels Sing" finds n 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 ye faithful is the
"Adeste Fideles" of the Latin, and
came originally from the pen Of
Aurelius Clemens Prudentius, native
Of Spain, who fiOurished about the
latter half of the fourth century.
There is another hymn by the same
Latin author which begins with "Of
the Fathers love begotten."
We have two well-born Christmas
carols by American writer's. 20 Little

the popular Boston divine, Phillips
Brooks. "Shout the Glad Tidings, EX-

"Angels from the Realms of Glory"

The two eminent sweet singers OF

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 ascribed to Telesphorus, bishop Of
Rome, about the year A. D. 130, and
is common in both the eastern and
western churches.
An old English carol begins with the
notable words:
i. Behold simple, tender babe
In freezing winter night.
e In homely manger trembling lies,
& Alas, piteous sight.
SThe higher critics" have wondered
hdw the shepherds could watch their
foeks 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 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. It begins:
From the highest heaven come to tell
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 doWh 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 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.

st, Francis and his friars stood by the
manger all night long, giving God
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 II 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 carols have come
down to. US in half Latin 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.
Angels sang with mirth and glee

In this "Grace collection" there is a
