Chris tmas Is
Children's Day

~HE message Of Christmas is love,
w Its emblem is radiant, thankful.
contented childhood. Without
love and without children there could
be no real Christmas. The form might
survive but the substance would be
lacking.
Unhappy must be the adult who can
not make himself a child again in
spirit at the Yuletide. For Christmas
is the universal children's day. Men
and women are superfiuous except as
they make themselves partners with
those whom the day glorifies.
Let us, then, lay aside the affecta-
ton and arrogance of manhood and
womanhood and be children again.
Let us adopt their point Of view and
put ourselves in their places-in the
places Of these sons and daughters
of ours and of the sons and daughters
of our neighbors. 1t was only a year
or so ago, as 1t seems, when we hung
our well-wOrn stockings In q row along
the mantel shelf, while our fathers

showed In the morrow.
Even as you and /. 1t all comes
back In flood Of memories. Life was
simpler then Our desires were less
pretentlous than those our children
voice now. Modest remembrances they
were that bulged toe and heel Of the

CAROLS AS PART OF
THE CHRISTMAS
SERVICE.
,HE origin Of the Christmss carol

m HE origin Of the Christmas carol
w Is uncertain. 1t Is probably as
old as Christianity Indeed,
Bishop Taylor in his ''Great Exemplar'
remarks that the first carol is the
hymn Of the angels to the shepherds
in the plains Of Bethlehem:
GLORY to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward men,"
In the Fifteenth century carols were
widely used throughout Europe In
fact, the first pieces printed by the
very first printers were carols. In one
of the Oldest collections appears The
Bears Head" which used to be sung
as that old dish was carried to the
table during the Christmas revelry:
The Boar's Head in hands bring
With gariands gay and birds singing;
! pray you all to help me sing
"Qui estis In convtvioi"
THE Bears Head represents one
of the convivial carols or "iolie chan
sons" which had their place at the
feasts, dances and other gay festivi-
ties of the Christmas season.
In Shakespeare's time bands of
itinerant singers used to wander about
the streets and make their carolry a
pretext for getting money
