be no real Christmas. Tie form might

Is the universal children's day. Men
and women are suIerfiuous except. as
they make themselves partners with
those whom the day glorincs.

on the holy day "the sun In the east

mountains and forests shook and

CAROLS AS PART OF
THE CHRISTMAS
SERVICE.

mHE origin OF the Christmas carol
w liz uncertain. 1t IL probably NJ
old Ms Christianity. Indeed,
Bishop Taylor In his "Great Excmplur''
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 pence. 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
~ the oldest collections appears "The
i'Oar's Head" which used to liz sung
M that old disi, was carried to the
table during the Christmas revelry:
The Bears Head In hands I bring
With garlands gay and birds singing:
] pray you all to help me sing
"Qui estis In convivio!''
"The BOar'S Head" represents one
Of the coAvivinl carols or "jOlle chan.

ties Of the Christmas sensoO.
In Shakexpeare's time bands Of
itineraOt singers used to wander about
the streets and make their car0ry a
pretsxt for getting money.
During the Eighteenth century carol.
ry declined greatly. aud many Of the
quaint old customs which had marked
Christmas festivals for centuries be.
came obsolete.
CarOiry stu exists In parts of Eng.
land.
In Wales It has been preserved Ia
still greater extent. while Ireland.
too. has her Christmas carOiing In
